President Roosevelt has begun
the process Of setting up a bank
backed by RFC funds and charged
with the work of backing Amer
ica's international trade.
The institution will be estab-
lished as a District Of Columbia
unit, and its capital will come
through RFC purchase of its
stock.
Mr.. Roosevelt planned the bank
with Russia particularly in view
as an important buyer Of Amer
lean products. William Bullitt,
this nations ambassador at Mos
COW, was present, along with RFC
Chairman Jesse Jones, when Mr..
Roosevelt first outlined the pro-
posed bank.
The finance institution will
operate by making northern
loans in this country to import
ers and exporters engaging in
foreign trade.
Not only Russia, but the Balkan
countries and some South Amer
lean nations were considered in
initial plans for the bank.

NEW YORK, Feb. Z G.N.S0.
I have just spent a $13.39 day
with a chorus girl.
We didn't do anything special:
ate five times, of course, took
three taxis, bought a hat and a
pair Of gloves-but we didn't pay
rent or negotiate any major deals
such as permanent waves, fur
coats or new golf clubs.
Elsie Joyce, dusky-haired 18-
year-old Vanities lady of the en-
semble, assures me it was a typi-
cal day.
OF course Elsie Joyce is lucky.
She lives with her married sister
and does not have to worry about
incldentalS like the rent, electric
light and gas.
And she has a mother and
SRther in Brooklyn, where most
chorus girls mothers and fathers
live, to help her out when things
get tough. Also, she makes more
than $25 a week, the Actors
, Equity minimum being $50 q
week.
Still It takes a lot of work to
put in days like the one Elise and
! spent together, figuring as we
went how much it would cost II
we were paying cash.
The schedule:
Up at 1890 and breakfast at
home: Orange juice, eggs and
bacon, coffee, three slices Of
toast-75 cents most anywhere
unless you wait on yourself.
II a. m. Telephone the home
IA Brooklyn-15 cents daily.
11:15 to IL noon: Walk around
the reservoir in Central Park
with Fritz, the police dog.
IL o'clock lunch: Club sand
wich, coffee and pastry amount
ing (problematically) to 80 cents.
2 o'clock to the Metropolitan
Museum Of Art for a lecture or
O look-around (free) and buying
Q couple of newspapers- cents.
4 o'clock to tea at a friends.
Eaxi fare-50 cents.
4::30 by taxi to a Fifth Ave-
Hue shop where one brown felt
sports hat ($5) and a pair of
brown kid gloves ($2.95) are pur-
chased.
$3.50 home by taxi ($D to
dress for dinner.
Dinner at 7, with friends (no
charge) and to the theater by
bus-10 cents.
AS Elise says:

They have to look well. That
means getting your hair done
&t least once a week-and I
70 twice-and your nails, too.

the father of it." Through the un. derstanding Of divine reality free dom from the effects Of false ma terial belief is won.
 In the universe created by God, all Is under the government of the unchanging law of good. In t there Is no element of chance or uncer- tainty. The spiritual gifts of the Father are bestowed impartially and equally upon all His children. for God is no respecter of per- sons" The blessings that How in infinite abundance from divine Love are free to all.
 It Is frequently remarked that the tttitude of Christian Gcien- tists, generally, Is characterized by cheerfuInegs and optimism. But their cheerful deneanor is not due to blindness regarding the seem. ing presence of error: 1t is not the shallow optimism of human fancy. Rather is 1t indicative of the deep qualities of spiritual understand lng, faith in God, love for good. Hope is indeed well founded when 1t springs from such qualities. Equanimity and boise remain un- shaken by passing flights of error when they rest on the firm founda- ton, of spiritual understanding, for these qualities have their source in divine Mind, God. And he who governs his life In accordance with spiritual qualities gains an abiding sense of Gods goodness. love, and ever presence.
 The importance of viewing things their true nature, as di- vinely good, is emphasized when one considers the results of follow ing an opposite course. Job said. "The thing which greatly feared Is come upon me-" He who is in constant fear of disaster, contagion or other untoward circumstance thereby opens his thought to the entrance of these errors, for he is believing in their reality and pow CT. On the other hand, the un- derstanding of God as divine Love banishes fear, for since God, infin- ite Love, is omnipotent and omni- present there is in reality nothing to fear. Tho spiritual realization that evil is unreal destroys any seeming cause for alarm. One is not afraid of. that which he knows does not exist.
 On 8 certain occasion a young student of Christian Science was able to demonstrate the protection and provision of divine Love by the simple realization that God is the only power. This truth filled his thought to the exclusion of errone- ous belief, and his path thereafter became brighter, and his life was filled with good.
 All may commence now to brighten their own lives and to bring joy and comfort to others by whole-hearted turning to spirit ual reality as revealed in Christian Science. The world needs the holy, uplifting influence of right thinking. Let unselfshness, good ness, mercy. justice, health, holi- ness, love-the kingdom of heaven reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear" Science and Health. p. 248.)

OCEAN LINERS ON WAY OVER WITH
 LOADS OF GOLD
One Carries $1O,OOO,0O Worth and the Other
 Nearly $25,OOO,OOO
BY JOHN R. REAL

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 New York. Feb 8.-(UP)-Four hundred years ago Spanish gall Icons sailed eastward across the Atlantic bearing bright yellow gold from the new world. To-day two sleek ocean liners sped to New York with a kings ramson In gold ingots from the old world.
 The Bremen, speed queen of the Atlantic, docks this afternoon with approximately $10,000,000 of precious metal, the first shipment since the dollar was revalued. The Berengaria, with about $24,675,- 900 worth in her holds, is due on Friday morning.
 The shipments inaugurate new kind of "gold rush" to the United States.
 When the shipments left Europe last Saturday gold was quoted on the London market at the equiva- lent cf $33.S4 a fine ounce. Tho United States price was-and is $35. But speculators seeking profit in the disparity must sub- tract the cost of shipping and in- surance.
 The gold that once led swash- buckling Spanish adventurers across perilous seas was a new supply pouring into the economic world. The shipments now en- route ire part of a supply that moves about the capitalistic world much as a cargo of cannon balls might roll about in the hold of @ ship rocked by the waves. Ja4 A4 ny~fy can say definitely what forces and interests are represented in the present shipments but much of 1t, ply of "goId without country''-- capital f at admits no loyalty to anything but itself.
 Some of 1t is timid capital that fled the United States early last year before President Roosevelt placed an embargo on gold and stopped the "flight from the dol- lar"
 Some of it is astute capital that went abroad to seek profit and now is coming back for the same req son. This is gold owned by clever traders who bought commodities. sold them abroad, deposited their gold in France, and now are bring ing back their original capital with its profit. to seek. If possible, additional profit out of the dis parity in the London and Washing tond gold prices.
 Such movement of capital across frontiers often has the effect of un- dermining the metallic base of the currencies of various countries. One object of & monetary bill now being considered by congregs is to stop this migration.
 If the bill is passed, regulations similar to those governing citizens will apply to gold. Just as traveller requires a passport and visas before travelling abroad, so gold will have to have permits cer- tifying that it is needed abroad to satisfy legitimate trade balances.
