GOLD PROFITS
DESIGNED To
SLASH DEBT
Roosevelt Says Surplus Will
Provide Fine Nest Egg For
National Treasury.

HYDE PARK. N. Y, Aug. %. tU.P)
President Roosevelt regards the ST.
500 900, 900 profit from devalliation OF
the dollar in terms of gold as a
nest egg" that ultimately will be
used in reducing the national debt
In making known his position,
today Mr.. Roosevelt subscribed to
a policy outlined in an address by
Henry Morgenthau Jr., secretary of
the treasury. He emphasized the
word ultimately, however. to indi-
cate to observers at least that some
time would elapse before any steps
would be taken.
It was Mr.. Roosevelt who des-
cribed the profit as a nest egg.
pointing out that one ultimately
uses a nest egg.
The profit now is under lock and
key in the treasury. as Morgenthau
explained, practically all of it be-
ing held in the form of gold and
silver. In addition to debt reduc-
tion the secretary explained that
the money also would be used in
balancing the budget.
Mr.. Roosevelt met members of
the Washington press in his small
office at the summer White House
but declined to go further in in
terpreting the remarks of Morgen-
thau. Neither would he comment
on a barrage of questions regard
ing the threatened textile strike
and the defiance of his hour cut
ting and wage-raising order by
the cotton garment manufacturers.
There was the feeling, however,
that the President was not con-
sidering relaxing the order.
Mr.. Roosevelt likewise was silent
when asked as to whether Gen.
Hugh S. johnson, recovery admin
istrator. laid before him a letter
of resignation last week. He dis
missed the johnson questions with
a smile and wave of the hand.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30. U.P)-
Total of money spent by the
Roosevelt administration in the Is
months to June 80, 1884, amounted
to s8,812,112,212 treasury figures
showed today.
Offsetting these expenditures was
a government income in this period
from all sources amounting to s3,-
911,531,1 ,134, leaving a deficit for the
period of $4,900,58 1,078.
This deficit was the amount the
government ran in the red" under
Roosevelt up to June 80. 1884. Des-
pite this large deficit Secretary
Morgenthau in last nights speech
pointed out that of the total ex-
penditures, s1,860 100000 might be
realizable in assets of emergency
corporations set up with part of
the total s3,812,112,212 total ex-
penditures.
Not included in this figure, Nor
genthau pointed out, was a ST.
300, 100000 profit, realized from the
recent devaluation of the American
dollar and the writing up of gold
held by the government from s20.67
to s35 per ounce.

turns not one candidate had a
Sufficient plurality to guarantee
the majority necessary for "pri-
mary election"
Supervisor Gordon L. McDou-
ough in the second district had
the largest lead. Returns from 19l
out of 557 precincts gave McDon-
ough 1889 votes. His nearest adj
versary, Howard w. Davis, Presi-
dent of the city council, had 1896,
some 5000 more than his nearest
competitor, which indicated that
McDonough would have to contest
with Davis in November.
In the first district, Hugh A.
Thatcher of Pomona. incumbent,
was trailing H. C. Legg, engineer
and political neophyte, a snap tai
ly of 216 precincts out of 883 Civ
ing Thatcher 1858 and Legg 3917,
establishing the pair as run off

Something About
the New Gloves

PARIS.-All the leading glove
houses exhibited their latest
novelties in a special depart
ment of the Foire de Raris
which was recently held in the
PalaiS des Expositions. AS a
general rule, there seems to be
tendency to favor gloves in
light fabrics for summer. Al
though leather gloves are still
very much in evidence, there
are quite number of gloves in
net, in Albene jersey and in lace
with organdie frills forming the
cuff. or with just plain en-
broidery. Fancy gloves with
rayon tartan taffeta cuffs
matching a handbag or scarf
are shown by all the houses.
The Maison Jouvin, Rue AL
bert, displays new kid gloves
with fancy cuffs in dull Albene
crepe with tucks or pleated ef-
fects. These cuffs are also in
the same material as the dress.
Supple kid and doeskin gloves
with cuffs entirely covered with
rayon braid disposed one above
the other in shaded tones or i'll
openwork and lace effects are
a feature from this house.
Alexandrine has a very inter
esting model in kid on which Is
disposed the cocarde in rayon
taffeta, the center of which Is
fastened on the glove with a
composition button in the same
tone as the glove itself.

Girls are off to camp. lots
of them have gone already.
Others are going camping with
their families, or are going for
a short time to one of the
larger all-summer camps. We're
getting inquiries as to what to
take, so here's the answer to
some of the questions we've
had.
The official list for Kamp
Kahlert seems slim, just the
bare necessities. Of course
that's all you really should take
on most camping trips, for one
of the reasons for going camp
ing is to leave all the fuss
and feathers of a house at
home.
Here's the list: It seems
typical of needs for all camps.
What to Bring to Camp
(All clothing and personal
property should be marked
plainly)
3 suits-shorts and shirts
2 pairs of pajamas
! pair of stout low-heeled
oxfords
/ pair of tennis shoes
i pair of heavy stockings
3 or more pairs of ankle
socks
Changes of underwear
Bathing suit and slippers
Wash cloth, towels and toilet
articles
Sweater
Flash-light
Useful and Desirable Articles
Beret
Raincoat
GalosheS
Kodak
/ pair of wooden knickers
for rainy and cold days
importantly e a ch pajamas
and long duck pants cannot be
worn except at parties or Cos
tune Affairs" They interfere
with penetration of suns rays
to the body.
It is advisable to purchase a
swimming cap at Kamp store.
Different colors are used for
different classes. Caps are sold
as cheap as Is cents each.
Films are also for sale.
Worthy of note is that little
paragrah at the top, referring
to all clothing being marked.
nowadays woven names are
cemented on, not sewed, which
is certainly a boon to mothers
and daughters alike.
If you want to you can make
your raincoat do bathrobe duty,
or you can take along a good
wooly bathrobe Of some sort.

is sheath-line to just below
the knees where a box-pleated
flounce is ;.dded. A red patent

wide red patent leather belt

Necessities for a Successful
Summer at Camp

1t will come in handy for va
rious uses. And it seems to
me that a good warm sweater
is essential, too. Camp mem
cries come back to me with
some cold days sprinkled in,
and quite a few cold nights.
BY all means stick to the es-
sentials though. If you're going
with a private party you may
possibly need one dress-up cos
tune, but not more than one
if it's a real camp.

A visit to Cape May, N. j.,
over the weekend gives me
much to talk about. The
Washington colony there is
quite extensive-and the local
heat is driving more families
there for the summer season.
Arrived on Saturday, after a
breath-taking trip, weaving
through terrifying traffic-all
seashore bound, and many
muscle bound" I imagine, by
their driving.
Great sea breezes at Cape
May made me wish, I had
brought a coat-believe it or
not! Made a 'bee-line for the
beach to see what "the smart
young things" were wearing.
First saw-guess who? Penn
Turner, bachelor beau for all
the matrons who are widowed"
there during the week. He has
been to Cape May every sum"
mer since 1908. Knows his
way around and which is the
right" end of the beach. For
"play" on the beach, Penn
wears navy blue trunks with a
striped jersey of dark and light
blue. Penn is very sunburned
and appears to be enjoying i'm
mensely his annual vacation at
the Chalfonte.
Saw Isabelle, otherwise Mrs.
Winslow Van Devanter, who
has a cottage there for the
season. She was wearing a
good looking sport dress in
dark green and white crepe,
made in a very tailored fash"
ion with a turnover collar and
green buttons-and a green
belt, evan" had gone deep
sea fishing with Crosby Noyes
Boyd. who with Betty is sum-
mering there. Caught a glimpse
of Crosby who was wearing
a brown tweed coat wit h
striped flannel trousers.
"Kempy', Mrs. Sam Beach,
had her cute daughter Gray
son down on the beach for a
swim. "Kempy' wore a ging-
ham bathing suit Of yellow
with cross bars OF red and
black running through it.
Very cute-with a large sun
hat. Little Grayson also wore
a sun hat of white pique.
! Adelaide Noyes showed up,
wearing gingham suit, a
checked model in yellow and
brown and blue. All the girls
have gone a little bit "frou-
frou'' this year on bathing ap-
parel-with those sleek-fitting
acetate suits leading in popu-
larity.
Betty Boyd wore a sun SulC
with black, white and red
shorts, and a dark blue hand
kerchief top. Very smart on
her petite figure.
