TRANSVAAL AUTHORITY
AFFIRMS FAITH IN GOLD
President of Chamber of Mines
Believes Metal Will Always
Retain High Value.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa
tP).-Whatever money standards the
nations of the world may fix, gold
always will retain its high value, be-
lieves John Martin, president of the
Transvaal Chamber Of Mines.
Even If more countries, or all coun-
tries, left the gold standard at the old
parity, the part that gold would play
in the monetary affairs of the world
would still be pre-eminent," he told
the Imperial Press Conference here.
THE boarding of gold by govern
ments, banks, corporations and indi-
viduals must mean that gold still is
preferred to anything else as store
of value"

MA MAY BE
 PERMANENT,
 SAYS F. ). R,
Fifty Million Dollars Pro- vided for Movement,
 Says Hopkins

WASHINGTON, Aug 21.-Presi- dent Roosevelt today expressed the belief that the National Youth Administration, set up with s5o,- 100000 of work relief funds, may become permanent.
 After Harry L. Hopkins told State directors that the organiza- tion's aim was to provide economic security for young people, the Presi- dent said:
 "If the experiment is a success, there is not much doubt in my mind but that future Congresses will continue the work You are building for the future"
 Among other things, the Admin istration seeks to create part time work for boys and girls of high school and college. Directors came here for instructions before start ing the task.
 Hopkins told them: ITO provide economic security for young people means a fight, because we cannot provide economic security if we do not divide the national income on different basis than it was in '29. Great sectors of American op- inion are opposed to this"

Something Ne,0: Here's Hat
 Without Tourist

Many tourists visit Alaska without hats; but there never has been, be- fore today, a hat to visit the Terri tory without tourist.
 Such hat arrived yesterday on the steamer Alaska in the office of w. R. Mulvihill, Railway Express agent for Juneau. It is a badly-bat- tered hat, and has some 50 Railway Express tags stuck in it's soiled crown and brim. You see, it is on a world tour, bound, eventually, its original sender hopes, to Robert Ripley. originator of Believe It Or Not"
 Some of the tags have amusing phrases written on them by in genious agents. Says one, Fed and watered, re-iced and embalmed at Los Angeles" Another writes, Dis infected at Oakfield, Maine" One more reads, T have been beer soak ed at Jack Sharkey's Tavern, Bos- ton, Mass"
 Mulvihill isn't quite sure just what he will do with the headpiece, made of a rubber material and de- signed like an African sun helmet. But he's positive he will see to it that the hat thoroughly visits all Alaskan points of interest before re- turning to the States. He expressed hope that the Pacific Alaska Air ways would fly the tourist-less hat into Fairbanks,

 Highly Exaggerated
