What About Gold?

France in devaluing her franc again : has necessarily "gone off gold" the last of the important powers to abandon the gold standard. She has been followed immediately by small neighbors who, with her, had chung to gold to the bitter end. { It looks on the face of things like gen. peral abandonment of gold, because nearly all the nations are now off the gold standard. They may still use gold to some extent for international settlements, ito pay intergovernmental debts and i'm perative trade balances. But gold does not circulate today freely as money any where. It is called in by governments and locked up in national treasury vaults. Yet this doesn't really mean aban- donment of gold. It is probably a definite step toward general re-establish- ment of the golyd standard, in modified form. French currency will be allowed. as British and American currencies have been, to find it's own level in terms o1 gold. Such levels tend to become 'oWeI from crisis to crisis, with less gold ;nAhlrs unit of money valu" to l' T." u limited gold supply cove e.;ra.'di' 7 b'"

The highway commissioner of the state has already issued his autumn warning about burning leaves. This is the season when young and old get enthusiastic about bon-fireS. They like to pile up leaves and leaves until they have small pyramids. To this they touch a match, then-watch that smoke! The piling up and burning of leaves is worthy task if you watch it to the finish. But too often people are careless with their bon fires or let their children in on the fun with sometimes disastrous results. So the warning seems to be, have your fire, but watch it. The warning from the commissioner also counsels the cigarette thrower, who driving along, casts it care lessly aside to land among the leaves and brush which may be the cause of nice little forest fire.

A Ray Of Light

Like tiny ray of sunlight in gloomy and darkening world comes word tnaC Japanese delegates to the Institute or Pacific Relations session at Yosemite, Calf. definitely indicated that Japan would be willing to sign treaty with the United States and Great Britain to guar antee permanently the independence ana neutrality of the Philippines. These del egates do not officially represent the Jap aflese government, but there is reason to believe they are not backing an idea that is repellent to the Japanese powers-that- be. Up jumps the gentleman with the cynical eye, and says "Yeah-juSt the kind of treaty Belgium had in 1914!"
 Yet when the present period of mad ness passes, the world must return to treaties and mutual arrangements that are more than scraps of papper" to nations that are as true to their word as are honest men. The fact that supposedly honorable nations have been tossing treaties into the wastebasket with Sicken- ing regularity of late does not mean this will always be true.
 A treaty guaranteeing Philippine inde- pendence and neutrality would be of defl- nite advantage to all three countries in yoIved. To the United States and Britain it would mean freedom from concern about that particular corner of the Far East. Japan has he hands full at the moment and for some time to come in Asia, meeting increased resistance from Soviet Russia and reviving Chinese nntionalisnl, and with huge chunks of ManChuria swallowed but still undigested. Further, General MacArtkur has per iacted a defense plan for the Philippines

Prudent Mercy Accident Cases Today Often Witness Solicitude Not Founded on Expert Knowl-
 edge of Victims Injuries.
NEW HAVEN REGISTER

properly so that the injury is not increased until reduction of the fracture can be accomplished.
 While not wishing to read more than was said into the speakers statement, it seems that there is some advice contained in it that is well worth notice outside a medical conference and outside physicians ranks. In these times of auto &C., cidents by the thousands and in- juries in almost corresponding num- Der, persons on accident scenes are often quick to load injured individ- C.ls into their cars and rush them to hospital. By and large, they know little if anything of the na- ture of the injury. They are un- trained to tell a fracture for sure when they see one, or to know how to handle 1t if they see it.
 Through unskilled handling, how ever considerate, simple fracture can be compounded. Other injuries can be aggravated, making more difficult the physicians task when he finally receives the patient in the emergency room and more slow the patients recovery.
 The best-directed mercy in such cases is that which makes the in- jured as comfortable as possible at the scene of the accident, with as little moving as possible, summons physician or an ambulance and leaves handling to those who know how. In general, the time saved hy moving 8 badly injured person to expert care instead of calling expert care to the scene is imma- terial. On the other hand, inexpert moving might easily aggravate or finish the job started by the accf- dent.

Thursday of this week Queen Mary moved from Buckingham Palace where she has been for twenty-five years to take up residence at Marlborough House, a short distance away. Wonder what a queen thinks about these things. We ordinary folk are apt to think of queens, kings and such as kings and queens who do thus and so automatically. But per- haps, as human being, the queen, shed a few sentimental tears at moving from her old home, even as you and l.

The Amazing Career of Madcap Lola
BY BRUCE CATION

BY BRUCE CAIION
 Lola Montez, the gay dancing lady who swept across Europe and America in the 18th century like a tropic typhoon doing the dance of the seven wells, gets her innings in Queen of Hearts," by Isaac Gold berg (John Day. $2.5O. Lola wasn't much of a dancer. it seems, but she had way with her and she cashed in on it, in gold and in headlines.
 The illegitimate offspring of @ fantastic romance between a gall lant young Irishman in the Queens service and 8 13-year-old Spanish girl, Lola spent six of her first 10 years at a government post in In- dia, returning thence to England to be educated.
 At 18 she eloped with Lieutenant Thomas James to escape marriage to 8 titled old curmudgeon from India, Sir Abraham Lumley, 8 60- year-old old supreme court judge.
 Then her mad career began. Within a few years she was separ- ated from her young husband and making her first appearance as a dancer. For seven years she danced her way across Europe, from city to city, and from court to court, lov- ingly lightly as she went.
 Then, at 30, she suddenly became one of the chief political powers o1 the continent, as mistress and confidante of the aged King Ludwig I of Bavaria.
 Until the citizens rose and threw her out, she lived and ruled like a queen. After that she lived in and on the past, touring Europe, Aus tralia, and America: and cashing in via the stage, on her Bavarian ad- venture. She died in America and is buried in Brooklyn.
 MT. Goldberg writes with know ledge, sympathy, and wit. His biog- raphy of the vivid Montez is facile historically accurate, and vastly readable.

At one of the sessions of the Con- necticut State Medical society's an- nual conference here, Dr. Frederic w. Bancroft, associate professor of clinical surgery at Columbia Uni- versity, spoke on the physicians duty III connection with fracture cases. He said, in part, that such duty begins at the time of the &C., cident and endures until the pa tient has returned, symptom free to his economic status. In respect to the surgeon in charge of hospital service, that authority must see to 1t that those responsible for trans porting the patient to the hospital are competent to apply splints
