WHAT ABOUT OUR eolD2

About half Of all the monetary gold IN
the world is contained in the vaults at Fort
Knox, Kentucky. where the Government
has gradually piled up glittering yellow bars
to the value of s14 ,00O. 900, 900.
This mass Of wealth does not represent
the total holdings OF gold IN the United
States. The Treasury has some $4,000. 000.-
600 worth in other American vaults. This
gives the United States three-fourths of the
worlds gold.
Economists continue to argue about the
wisdom of eornering the worlds gold sup
ply. Some of them fear that the rest of the
world might repudiate the yellow metal.

Are the Golden Cities of Living

horseless days Gold was a sort

atrocities of the conquistadors

The green spleen" stones are

magic objects, something like
modern lucky pieces, among the
Amazons. They evidently car

possession of the Indians.
Year after year all through
the 18th century, reports of
Amazons drifted into the Au-

in the archives of FL Virrey.
Some came from Spaniards, some
from wandering Indians, The old

Anthropologists have always
specialized as TO what caused the
fall of the matriarchal stage
through some form of which the
human race seems to have
passed everywhere. One guess
has been that the subJugated
males, forced to live by them
selves, turned in desperation TO
copying the secret organization
of the women.
Thus, within each tribe grew
up two hostile totalitarian states,
one for each sex. These would
either soon destroy each other
or the tribe. The final result
would be a return to something
like the normal monogamy basis
of the human species.
The writer does not accept
anything so curious on the word
of one man but gives the fol-
lowing record for what it may be
worth. The author of one Of my
Spanish-Indian papers is a GER
tain Don Reco de Leon. who of
ficiated as Lieutenant-Governor
and Captain-General under
governor by the name of Pedro
de Lleaqui Urquiza. The nara
tive seems TO have been written
in Madrid.
He not only tells of q prov
ince of women who lived without
men" on the Northern border Of
the Gran Paytite, but adds the
curious bit Of information that
beyond the shores OF the Laguna
del Paytite, some red-skinned
Inca refugees had formed the
masculine counterpart OF the
Amazon state. He describes them
as follows
a. "a country Of men. without
women These men, however.
for two months each year went
by water to another part to meet
with them. They are such valor-
Gus women that they fight with
their enemies better than If they
were men"
Here then, If the account be
correct, that very thing had hap
pened. and the Amazons, every
year. were fraternizing with their
friendly male enemies This may
have seemed another danger sig
nal TO send the women warriors
on the march away from tempta-
ton.

all his dangers and miserieS was
debarred from sharing in ANY of
the profits even had the 'expedi-
ton returned laden with gold
In that battle he describeS the
priest received an arroW-w&und
in the face which finally cost him
the loss of one eye. Would such
a man subscribe to that kind of
a falsehood and stick to it until
death?
At this point we may pause to
speculate on what went on in the
minds of Queen Conori and her
councillors when they received
full reports of the battle, be-
cause, just about that time, some
thing moved them to one Of those
strange walk-outs.
Assuming. as all reports indi-
cate, that the Amazons were a
superior race of white women
ruling ignorant natives of both
sexes, they must have realized
that here were the advance
scouts of men possessing weapons
which could easily eXterminate
the gynaecocracies, as soon as
the newcomers arrived in large
numbers
Amazon supremacy was prob
ably the most unstable one that
has ever lasted for any great

and the name of the Amazon
Queen Conon. as first given TO
the Orellana expedition by cap
tured trumpeter. 1t is not UNI
likely that had the Spaniards
understood the native speech bet
ter, they would have learned that
Conori was not the name of that
individual monarch but a title
which each one assumed when
ascending the throne, just as all
Egyptian kings were called
Pharaoh, and may have spread TO
all her subjects.
A cacique told Sir Walter in
1895 that these annual mass
honeymoons always occurred in
April.
Raleigh, gallant admirer of the
fair sex though he was, had no
great ambition to meet any more
Amazons. He had trouble enough
trying to find the mythical city
of gold, FL Dorado, on the equally
elusive Lake Parime.
However, a Spanish m a p,
printed in Leyden. Holland, about
that time, solemnly gave the To-
cation uI-1UcIC Therefore, when
he failed TO find the golden city,
he was received on his return to
England, unfavorably. Had he
brought back the golden bacon"
his head might not have been
chopped off.
More likely there is a golden
city to be found, much farther
West and North, on the boundary
of the unknown wilds of South
Venezuela. However, little good
would the knowledge have done
the gay adventurer because he
could never have reached the
place without an airship.
There, | strongly suspect, still
stands the capital of Queen Con
or AlIldLOIlS anu ~ htoti w.
the gold in all probability still
remains. If a modern city of the
known world were suddenly
abandoned human jackals would
sneak in and the first thing TO
be taken would be any gold that
might be lying around. Such
would not be the case in the
South American wilds for more
than one reason.
In the first place gold was
never used as money in that con
tinent until after the arrival of
the Spaniards. The metal had no
great use, except for decorating
temples and the personal adorn-
ment mostly of dignitaries and
their women. Some vessels were
made of it but these We're heavy
and not as convenient as those
made of other substances.
