considering whether or not to retain
the gold standard. time Is Of the
essence If the world gold bloc breaks
up. what good is our gold?
Il am in accord with what Secre-
tary Hull is trying to do to stimulate
trade. In fact, am in accord with
most things he does.
IT don't think however, there will
be a currency stabilization conference
for some thine. say a year. Although
both Secretary Hull and Secretary
Morgenthau have mentioned it re-
Gently, the main question is whether
President Roosevelt wants one.
And. besides that, it is questionable
whether the other countries of the
world want one. The currency might
have been stabilized at the London

States hadn't broken 1t up"

THE mystery of the disappearing
bottles of milk in Lyon Village,
Va. has been solved-with a
believe-it-or-not ending.
For some time residents in the 200
block of North Eighteenth street had
been baffled by upset milk bottles and
bottles plainly tampered with by an
intruder who removed the paper hoods
but not the cap or contents.
The other day an early riser saw
Skipper, a young police dog Of mis-
chievous tendencies, trotting down the
street with bottle of milk held tight
ly between his teeth. He deposited
it half a block away and then re-
turned and succeeded in carrying a
second bottle into an adjoining yard
before his owner arrived on the scene
and rescued the kidnapped bottle.
