British fund as seen by Wall
Street foreign exchange experts
includes ironing out minor fluctua-
tions in exchange value of the
pound, controlling major move
ments of the pound. increasing the
gold supply of the Bank of Eng
land, protecting the country from
flight of capital.
When the fate of the American
fund was debated before con-
gress, some economists warned
that there would be risk of los
ing the entire fund in the market.
For example, the dollar price of
the pound might be So when the
U. s. fund would purchase a mill
lion pounds with five million dol
lars. But the price of the pound
might be 81 when the American
fund decided to bolster it by sell
ing the million pounds for four
million dollars, the market price.
Thus Uncle Sam would mark up a
loss of million dollars. The re-
verse result would be possible too.
Sudden Demand Is Problem
One of the first problems the
fund may face is return of fugi-
tive American capital. When the
dollar appeared headed for in
flation, capital fled to pounds or
francs. But with sterilization this
same capital may seek to return
to American dollars.
To do this the foreign holdings
must be changed into dollar hold
ings, thus creating a tremendous
demand for dollars. Such a de-
mand tends to boost prices, and
the American sterilization fund
might have to throw large amount:
fof dollars on the market to keep
the price from rising too high.

TALLAHASSEE, June IL
Members of the Florida state road
department will consider such va
ried subjects as aviation. highway
and landing field Identification,
and the requirement of 200 foot
right of ways for principal traffic
thoroughfares when they meet at
Sebring this week.
Chairman C. B. Treadway of
the department said that while
general routine business 1.-the de-
partment would be considered at
the meeting, considerable time
would be spent on the other SUBJ
jects, all of which are compare
lively recent developments.
"The road department is in
charge now, under act of the leg
islature, of all state sponsored
aviation activities" the chairman
said.
Under supervision Of the de-
partment. and through coopera-
ton of the federal government in
the allotment of CWA and FERA
funds, the state has in the past
six months spent, or is spending. a
total of $1.700.000 on airport
construction and airport improve

Leads The Nation
"This activity has progressed at
such a rate that Florida now leads
the nation in airfield develop

expected by Treadway to receive
considerable attention at the

"The road department main
tains separate division of beau

capable landscape engineers" the
chairman stated. Through this
medium, it is the hope of the de-
partment to eliminate the here

many roadsides and landing fields

have been but few cases where
landowners declined to give addi-

and it is anticipated that when the
program Is completed. the wider
distances will prevail generally"
A committee appointed by the

What will be the status OF Flor
ida in the event the majority of
voters decide TO vote for repeal Of
the prohibition laws in the cleo
zion Of November 6. is the ques-
siona frequently asked of The
Citizen.
On the date mentioned Florida
will vote on amending the consti-
tutional prohibition clause to per-
init local option on the question
of legalizing sales. 1t is under
stood that as there were four coun-
ties wet when national prohibition
went into effect, and Monroe was
one of these, these four counties
will automatically become wet if
the yeas are in the majority.
In Eleven States
Liquor issues will come up in IL
states this year: North Carolina,
Mississippi, South Carolina, Maine.
Florida. Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota, West Virginia and
Wyoming.
There are 20 states which per-
NIT the sale of intoxicants, 10
have statutory prohibition, nine
have both statutory and constitu-
tional prohibition and one has con-
stitutional prohibition alone.

LABOR CHEERS
BUILDING TRADE
UPWARD TREND
Federation Gives Credit to
U. S. Housing Program
for Gains.

By Scrfpps-HOpard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7.-An up
turn in building-trades employment
was hailed today by the American
Federation of Labor as a direct re-
suit of Government efforts to re-
,vive the construction industry.
Overcoming the customary sNa
Sonal decline, the federation an
nounced. building-trade employ
ment held steady in November for
the first time since the federation
started collective reports in 1928.
PROFESSIONALLY this gain, for it is
really gain" said President Will
liam Green, reflects the efforts of
the Federal Housing Administration
to break the deadlock in the build
ing industry.
For that matter, the record shows
that since August, when the FHE
actually got under way, the trend

ing an increase in building trade
employment affecting 2 per cent of
the membership. and in October, 2
per cent more found work.
Stated a little differently, there
were 673,43 building tradesmen
working in August in the country as
a whole, 685, 1888 in September and
713,172 in October"
With FILA going into its second
phase, insurance of loans for new
building as contraSted with the first
phase of loans for improvements,
Mr.. Green is hopeful of better
things in the months Immediately
ahead"
IF we can only break down the
unreasonable and out-dated preju-
dice against construction in winter"
he said, 1.-The showing will be vastly
better"
Mr.. Green said building trades
employment remained most appall-
ing" despite the gain, with Sc per
cent unemployed, and "a per cent of
the others working only part time"

Oy waiver Os AAAChAAdA
ZACH year this department is
- asked to help Mother, Fa-
Their, Aunt Minnie, Uncle Joe and
all the others in book shopping
by making suggestions.
So many ask that they desire to
know books that are brand new
because they think new books
make the best gifts.
In my selection for the adult
reader who goes in for better
reading in both fiction and non-'
fiction, list the following books:
Goodbye, Mr. Chips" by James
Hilton; $50 Red the Rose" by
Stark Young; Anthony Adverse"
by Hervey Allen; appointment
in Samara," by John O'Hara;
while Rome Burns" by Alexan-
der Woollcott; Life Begins at
Forty" by Walter B. Pitkin; Lit
tie Era in Old Russia" by Trina
Skariatina; "Florian," by Felix
Salten; and Portraits and Pray
erS," by Gertrude Stein.
The above group. to my way
of thinking, is a safe list from
which to obtain worthwhile books
for adult readers who go in for
the stronger and better things.
"HEPE ORC ,,oopv vrI,o an jOx,
l. light but well-written love,
romance, and detective stories.
For these adult readers would
include Little Orvie," by Booth
Harrington; Daring Young Man
on the Flying Trapeze," by w.
Saroyan; Casino Murder Case"
by S. S. Van Dine; "Brinkley
Manor" by P. G. Wodehouse;
"The Other Lovers" by Margaret
Widdemer, February HILL" by
Victoria Lincoln; Murder Call
ing" by David Whitelaw; Death
Rides the Air Line" by William
Sutherland; The Case of the Gu
riouS Bride" by Ervie Stanley
Gardner, and "The Line Up" by
Helen Reilly

THERE is an expensive but a
Il fine edition of "Porgy," by
Dubose Hayward, issued by Mod
ern Library. Another new men,
Der of this library is Maria Chap
delaine,' by Louis Hemon. Both
sell for SIS cents.
There are two books, at least,
which are of great interest, to
HoosierS. One is Phantom
Crown" by BERTHA Harding of In
dianapolis.
The other is 1.-THE Crowded HILL"
by Macleod, which is story of
the Wabash Valley for three years,
starting in 1866.
I should include Patterns of
Wolfpen" by Harlan Hatcher in
this group because it is a great
and powerful novel Of life in Ken
lucky for a century.
I am buying severa; copies of
Patterns of Wolfpen" because I
think it one of the grandest
bookssof the year.

will be necessary to appoint Repub-
lican to comply with the law creating
that body, which calls for minority

Roosevelt in the 1882 campaign
Opposition was based upon NeWton's
activities as political secretary To
