There was silence for several mo-

never looked lovelier and Bannister

No, of course. it didn't make any

smiling.

What's in the paper?' she asked.
Nothing much. They've had a
bad storm on the east coast. And
another pair Of movie stars are
getting a divorce"
over the newspaper only the top
Of Bannister's head was visible.
The girl waited for him to con-
tinue. but he did not. Suddenly she
got TO her feet.
"I think I'll 90 to my room" she
said, and disappeared.
DANNISTER put down the news
ID paper and stared at the fire.
He thought, i've made a mess OF
everything. I don't know any more
about who killed Tracy King than
I did the day I heard he'd been
murdered. What did ever get into
this for?"
He knew the answer, though he
refused to recognize 1t. He had gone
into it because he was interested in
Juliet France.
He looked across the room where
she had sat. Did she expect him to
listen to the songs she had sung to
Tracy King?
Irritably he got to his feet and
walked to a window, looking out.
His aunt, coming into the room,
asked, Where's Juliet?"
4 think she went upstairs"
Mrs. Hewlett picked up her knit
ting basket.
Her nephew paused in the door
way. I'm going out" he said. BE

But it was later than that when
he returned. Head down, his coat
collar turned up about his neck,

cold streets. He gave no thought to
the direction he took, passed build
ings without seeing them.
He walked rapidly but the tor

they informed him. you've pre-
tended you were trying to solve a
murder when all the time it was the
girl you were interested in. Well,
you know the truth about her at
last. She's like the rest-vain, silly,
empty-headed.. Why, you couldn't
be in love with a girl like that"
IN love? All. but he was. Ban
4 mister knew it now. He knew he
had been in love with her almost
from the first, only he had been
too blind to realize it. Because
Adele Allen had hurt his pride he
had believed himself broken-heart-
ed. He had never loved Adele
really. That was clear to him, too,
now.
No, he wasn't in love with Adele.
Her place had been taken by a
slender girl with spun-gold hair
and gray eyes.
And a girl" the imps Of torment
reminded him, who carried on
cheap affair with Tracy King"
When Bannister reached his aunt's
home the house was quiet and only
a single light was burning. He fas-
tened the door for the night and
went upstairs to his room.
At breakfast he and Juliet France
scarcely spoke to each other. 1t
was the same during the evening
meal and again the next morning.
His aunt tried to question him.

TREASURY SEES
j. 8. NEED Of
BLUE CHIPS

When you play poker you want
Just as many blue chips as the
other fellow.
That, in a mans language, was
the gist Of Secretary Morgen'
thau's summing up of the Roose-
welt proposal for a 2.0o0-million.
dollar stabilization fund to pro.
tect the currency of the United
States.
In other words, the American
Government is engaged in proba,
bly, the greatest gamble OF all
time. The stake is the credit OF
the United States.
To Equal British
When asked why a figure Of
1000 millions for the stabilization
fund had been asked, Morgen-
thau said:
1--WE figured we might need
an amount substantially equal
to the British stabilizatiOn fund.
eff we are going to play, we
must have as many chips as
the other fellow.
eve want every piece of ma
chinery the other countries
have. We want to be in a
position to buy gold and to sell
gold"
The 1000 million stabilization
fund will be derived from the
Governments profit on the de-
basing of the value of the dollar
to from so to 80 per cent OF the
normal valuation.
Fund From Profits
II the debasement is so per
cent, the profit to the Govern
ment will be 1000 million dollars
in round numbers. A 60-cent
dollar will mean about 1855 mil
lions in profits.
Out of these profits will come
the stabilization fund to be ad-
ministered by the Secretary of
the Treasury, the remainder be-
ing available for any Government
expenditure. Morgenthau said:
cit is possible that the mere
existence of the fund will be
sufficient to carry out the law
which requires that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury maintain
all lawful money of the Gov
ernment on parity with gold"
The Secretary of the Treasury
is charged with the responsibility
of administration of the fund to
carry out that purpose. If any
particular type of currency issued
United States notes, for in
stance-should become depre-
ciated in value, the Treasury
would go into the market and
buy a sufficient quantity of that
currency to maintain its parity.
Operations in the foreign markets

Of the dollar would be similar.

MONEY PLAN

LONDON, Jan. 16 ON.S0.
Looking for international cur
rency stabilization in the near
future and a consequent i'm
provement in world trade, Euro
pean money capitals today ac-
corded President Roosevelt's
monetary program a warm re-
ception.
Virtually the only "sour note"
came from Tokyo, where Japa-
neSe financial experts asserted
it would neither help world trade
nor attain its domestic objective
OF raising American commodity
prices.
Trade Boom Seen
London, Paris, and Berlin, how
ever, all stressed the expectation
Of stabilization and a boom in
international trade.
Although it was believed Great
Britain already had decided to
adopt an attitude of watchful
waiting for the natural develop
ments of the Roosevelt monetary
policy, the matter headed the
list of subjects for discussion at
today's meeting of the British
Cabinet.
The Cabinet was to investigate
especially possible harmful effects
on British trade as a result of
extensive dollar depreciation,
while the pound sterling remained
stable.
Most business leaders, however,
expect this would be easily
avoided by British manipulation
of one sort or another.
Called Courageous Step
Lord Melchett, one of Britain's
leading financiers, predicted Eng.
land would follow Roosevelt's
plan. He said in the Financial
Times:
president Roosevelt has TAX
en- courageous step. 1t will
go far toward finding the only
rational solution to his finan-
cial problem. Britain will be
bound to follow his devaIua-
ton policy. / hope our cur
rency policy will be modelled
in order to fit that of America
rather than that of France"
Although there was no official
or press comment available in
Berlin. business leaders privately
hailed the Roosevelt plan as a
first step toward stabilization, the
lack of which they have cited as
the chief cause of Germany's
sharp decline in foreign trade.
Paris cheered the "boldness" of
the Roosevelt move But japanese
experts believed Roosevelt was
"acting too early" toward de-
valuation of the dollar.

A FAREW ELL

1t is with regret that the pub fisher announces that this will be the last issue of The Kusko Times, so far as the present management is concerned.
 The reason for this is to be found in the continued i'll health of the publisher. Aside from this, business and family matters ne- cessitate visit back to his home at this time, which would pobably prevent an early return.
 The publication of The Kusko Times will in all probability be resumed at an early date, steps all ready being under way toward that cid.
 To the many who have shown steadfast friendship to The Kusko Times, especially to those who have shown so many courtesies to it's publisher, sincere thanks are hereby rendered.
 For my successor, whoever he may be, I bespeak the same kindly consideration and courtesy as have been shown to me. I will remain in Takotna for the next two or three weeks, giv- ing attention to the winding up of business affairs, A number of unfinished matters will require attention following my departure. These will be taken care of by Mrs. B. J. Boyd, to whom will be turned over quite a few affairs of 8 fiducial and rep resentative nature. A. X. GRANT.
