PALISADES PARK, N. j.,
June 6 Q.N.S0.-A public di-
vorce?
The press agent swears its
bona fide.
At any rate, a press notice
found it's way into METROPOLITAN
editorial rooms today declaring
that, since people seem more
interested in human relations
than carousels or the high div
ing act" Palisades Amusement
Park is looking for a couple
willing to be divorced in pub
lie.
The notice adds:
1--WE are willing to pay a flat
salary as well as all costs per-
tanning to the divorce and a
percentage of the gate receipts"
There is a touch of naivette
in the notice. Thus:
SHOULD the testimony con.
tain anything about tapped
wires, ETC., it would naturally
mean more to the box office
than if the testimony contained
only ordinary proceedings"
Any entries?

Great Britain sees no prospect OF

Commons today.
The Lausanne agreement re-

made this reduction contingent
upon a similar cut in the Ameri-

William Madame, Liberal, raised
the question, and Mr.. Chamber
lain referred to previous state,
ments in which the indicated rati.
fication of Lausanne could be only
part of a general economic settle,
ment.
"Have you taken steps to pro-
vide the conditions precedent to
ratification-that is, an ar
rangement with America for
our debt?"
To this question the chancellor
replied:
II haven't seen anything in
conditions to change the Situa-
ton"
"Are we to assume negOtia-

The reply of Mr.. Chamberlain
to this was a vigorous:

4. Abandonment of the gold
standard by the entire gold bloc,
which some thought might pave
the way for general Sterilization
on gold at new rates.
The gold was driven down IN
the dealings on the Paris Bourse.
It opened there at 1898 francs
and closed at 1875 IL, against a
previous close of Is francs. At
the closing dollar rate the franc
was worth 6.687 cents. Experts
calculated that France can take
America gold at a profit when the
rate is 1895 francs to the dollar.
In New York the franc was bid
up to 6.6S rs cents, a rise OF
l 7-S points from Saturdays close
and with 3-S point of the level at
which some of the experts calcu-
late gold would flow to France.
Resistance was encountered when
the gold point was neared, and
the franc dropped to Cos cents
where it closed for gain of a
point.
The pound moved over a wider
arc than the franc in New York
deals. 1t dropped to $4.73 IA in
the early trading, off A So cents
for the day and off Is IA cents
for a week. Late in the session it
rallied sharply to SAT- 1-2 where
it closed with a loss of only 3-S
cent.
The pounds course in London
and Paris was not as favorable
since those markets closed long
before the recovery got under
way in New York. In London, the
pound touched S4.74 IA off 4 1-8
cents net. In Paris it sank to a
record low at 1000 francs and
closed there. The latter contrasts
with parity for the pound of
124.21 francs.
AS the pound sank, the price
of gold was fixed in London at
148 shillings 10 pence per ounce.
Later dealings were made in the
unofficial market at a higher level.
But toward the close they were
consummated at concession
from the high which indicated a
reduction in the gold price for to-
day. 1t has been making record
highs now for five days.
At the official gold rate, the
American equivalent at the time
of fixing was $500 per ounce.
On the basis of the opening ster-
ling rate in London, it would be
S35.48. and on the basis of the
closing New York rate it would
be 1858. The latter would make
the dollar worth 1851 cents in
gold.
