FREE SILVER BILL
IS GIVEN APPROVAL
OF SENATE GROUP

S915,613, ,902 of the metal on April 8,
whereas, to attain the Is per cent
ratio, it would have to increase that
figure to S2886, $50, ,969-assuming the
gold stocks remained at the present
level.
The silverites in Congress, on hear
ing yesterday that the domestic price
probably would be boosted, had indi-
Gated belief that this would have
little immediate effect except on
domestic production Senator Thomas
pointed out that if the world price had
gone beyond the Treasury price, pro-
ducers would naturally have stopped
selling to the Government.
Thomas. in letter in which he
asked for the views of economists and
f1nanciers. suggested that the more
gold and silver the United States holds
the better would be it's position to in
fluence the terms of world stabiliza-
ton settlement.
1T appears to me-" he said, "that
there is not enough gold to alone serve
as the base for the currency and credit
structure of the several nations and.
if I am correct in this assumption,
then the world may be forced to a
wider use of silver along with gold to
serve as the base for the issuance of
money"
The text of President Roosevelt =
proclamation follows:

21st day of December, 1898, as modi-
fled by proclamation of the 9th day

SILVER WEST JUBILANT.
SAN FRANCISCO, April IL (R.-
The silver West was jubilant today
over President Roosevelt's increase of
the price for newly-mined silver to II
cents an ounce.
His announcement brought renewal
of predictions silver would again reach
$1.29 and considerable discussion of
whether it would tend to increase
employment and production.
Mining circles here thought the new
price would have relatively the same
effect on silver mining in the West as
the S35-an-ounce price had on gold.
Utah mining men generally thought
the price of other metals in silver
ore-lead, zinc, copper-would have to
increase before production would.
THE significant thing" said w.
Mont Ferry, Salt Lake City silver man,
lis that the proclamation is a definite
step toward recognition of silver as a
monetary metal"
WORLD PRICES ADVANCE.
By the Associated Press.
Silver prices doomed the world over
today in response to the announcement
that the United States Treasury would
pay II cents an ounce for newly mined
metal from American mines.
Silver mining circles in the Rocky
Mountain area were jubilant. They
hoped it was a step in restoration of
the old statutory price of silver at
$1.29 an ounce.
The silver bloc in Congress resumed
its campaign with vigor. The Senate
Agricultural Committee approved the
Wheeler mandatory 16-to-1 silver pur-
chase bill.
Silver prices shot up to the highest
levels in nine years in New York and
London. The Montreal silver futures
market doomed The London price
reached the New York equivalent of
64.745 cents an ounce.
Foreign metal was later sold in
New York at 66 cents an ounce, up
lh cents from yesterdays final bid
price.
Shanghai bankers, however, took a
gloomy view. Since China is on an
actual silver money basis, q rise in
its price was said to have q defla-
tionary effect. Nevertheless, the situ-
alton has been partially mitigated by
imposition Of a silver export tax.
Hoarders Of some 10000 ,000, 900
ounces of the white metal in India
and China were happy as they saw

COWS are established institu.

NV = are eSLaDuSneQ 1nSt1rUs
tons.
They have lineage, family crests,
their ancestral trails are longer
than history.
Archaeologists found a picture
of a COW on the side of a cave
in the Pyrenees.
They figured the drawing was
10000 years old.
Citizens of Babylon looked up
to the cow. Five thousand
years ago they adorned q
frieze with her image.
Hindu folklore is rich in praise
of the COW. The ''sacred cow"
has come down to Our times
as a symbol of veneration.
Every newspaper man who
values his head must know
the citizens in that category.
The COW exemplifies the broad
ening effect of travel.
Five hundred years ago there
were none on this continent.
They were an old Spanish Gus
tom. DeSoto and Coronado
sponsored their introduction
to the first families of, the
Mississippi valley and the
Rio Grande country.
The COW was news at jamestown in
1911, at Plymouth Rock in 1924.
By 1850 the COW had caught on.
New England was exporting butter
and cheese.
Il used to be said that every COW had
her fling, as every dog had his day:
There was the COW that jumped
over the moon, and there was Mrs.
OLeary's COW that got blamed for
setting fire to Chicago-reason
enough for the proverb that alps

The modern cows, ,O00, 900 OF her

Mr.. Thalberg thus once again

of his productions. Known for the
care with which he supervlzes MS

isn't another feather in both his and

Every one In Hollywood has been

Gallienne was here last Summer max
ing a personal appearance at the

to let the boys know that she would
be interested in helping. However
at that time, M-G-M had signed
Cukor as a director, and Prof. Will
liam Strunk, jr; Talbot Jennings
and James Vincent as his produc-
ing staff, so there didn't seem to be
any more room.

nice little Christmas party for every
