The ringing OF the telephone on
the bedside table shattered the
Quietness Of the night. A practiced
hand reached out almost instantly
and lifted the receiver. A sleepy
voice numbled: "Dr. Sholl speak

quiet and I'll be right over"
Before he had finished the con-

nation accompanied the doctors
movements - arms into shirt

"And now, I suppose, some OF
his COMPOUNDED creditors are on his
neck" DR.. Sholl paused to COM
plain.
"Well," Mrs sholrs voice came
from the depths of her pillow,
"if folks were all as easy as you
are I'm sure nobody's debts would
worry them. Think of all the calls
you've made, lots of them in the
middle of the worst nights imagin-
able. And they were the ones
usually for those who didn't pay"
DR.. Sholl ci1uckled as he bent
over his shoe laces. Those were
the good old days. Twenty miles
through mud almost belly-deep on
the horses. But we got along. Those
who did pay made up for those
who didn't, guess"
maybe it's q good thing some
people worry about being In debt.

i. S. TREASURY
POWDERS HUGE
COLD IMPORTS
Largest Hoard in World
Presents Alarming
Problem.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-Treas-
ury officials studied reports Of huge
gold imports today with growing
concern. The nations vaults al
ready are bullying with the largest
gold hoard in the world
Europe was the principal export
er of nearly $10,000,000 of gold
day to the United from Sept. 10 to
Dec. 5, the Federal Reserve Board
reported The, total for that period
was $766, 100000.
The heavy flow of gold to the
United States, it was said, acts as
barrier against international trade
and is a threat to gold as world
monetary basis. The United States
likewise has been a heavy importer
of silver, the other principal none
tary metal.
Underground Vault Prepared
What to do with this tremendous
volume of gold has become an in
creasingly important problem. The
government has stored billions of
dollars of it in Washington. Other
billions are concentrated in Denver,
New York and Philadelphia and
other major cities.
A huge underground vault in
fortified area in Kentucky is being
prepared as place for safe-keeping
of other billions of dollars in bull
lion. Uncle Sam is becoming a
veritable Midas.
The Federal Reserve bulletin re-
ported part of the gold imported
has been drawn from mines and
private boards, but that the bulk
Of it has come from governments
and central bank holdings in Eu-
rope.
The board attributed the influx
of gold to three principal factors:
l. THE disturbed European stu
alton which preceded and accom-
panied the outbreak of hostilities
in Ethiopia led to the transfer of
liquid balances from London to New
York.
Good Investment Opportunity
2. Foreign purchases of American
securities began to exceed sales last
May and the net inflow of foreign
funds into American securities has
continued practically without inter
ruption up to the present time. The
movement as whole appears to
reflect a feeling among foreign in
vestorS that an opportunity for
profitable investment of their funds
is, offered by the American market.
3. THE international position of
gold bloc coutries. A special prob
lem has been created for these
countries by the general abandon
ment elsewhere of previously exist
ing exchange PARTIES and the intro
duction of exchange controls by
several countries that still officially
adhere to the old PARTIES"
