' FRIDAY JULY 8, 1921. WOMEN FINANCIERS. Our women art making Mm? progress In the realm of high funmcv. The fact that hanks run by and for women have not thus far Indicated conspicuous success Is no warrant for questioning the capacity of fhe. sex. When they work side by side with men they are as alert and capable, and they are quite equal to shouldering responsibilities as they come. Then; are banks In Chicago and New York that fach have more than oOO women on the regular working stafT. It Is admitted that within a few years women will be occupying executive positions In the world of finance, says Los Angeles Times. They may be presidents of railroads and banks. They will gain this recognition not through corporations of women, but through competition with men. They seem to be more successful by reason of their association with or rivalry of the masculine mind than .when In a field wholly their own. Pessimists who are complaining that more garages are being built than homes, and lamenting the day the world went awheel, will have something more to charge to the motorcar If they accept the Indictment of the London Times that the speed wagon Is killing oft the ilowers and gardens. The theory Is that the rapid motion of the tires pulverizes the dust of the highway or street into such tine particles that when they settle upon flowers and plants they choke the leaves, prevent the plants from breathing, and they wither and die. This Is In addition ;, the charge that oiling the roads kills otT vegetation alongside. The old-time dust on the horse-used roads was, it is argued, chemically beneficial and relatively large compared to the fine spray in the clouds raised by automobiles. Certain Ked sympathizers smirks of satisfaction because Mci.. has deported a citizen of the United States for being a radical and a "pernicious foreigner." Uut Americans are grumbling. In. fact, the United States would be well pleased to receive back all Its Iteds In exchange for the Keds of other nations who are now making their home here. Discussing the recent feat of the army aviator who Jumped to the earth from an airplane four miles in the air, a thoughtful friend suggests that it would have been much more remarkable if he had jumped from the earth to the airplane. If the pay of a SlLUa-inonth railroad worker Is cut 1!0 per cent, would there I? any harm in nipping off 'JO per cent of the $1,000 a month or $0,000 a month or the $10,000 a month that some of the big boys get? A child In Dublin found a bomb and handed it to a policeman, who threw it into the street, exploding it aud wounding live persons. ltring forth the ivory diadem and put It on him. Tires purchased in the United States by France and deteriorated by long und ioor storage are reported to le finding their way back to this country. If this is true, we shall hear from It. A New Ywrk man who fell 1G stories down an elevator shaft was taken to a hospital to ascertain If he had been hurt, Ptrhaps they felt that there was a possibility that he had been Jarred. One ether remarkable thing about the spring is what appears to be a growing tendency among motorists to stay otT the railroad track until the i i train has passed. A flight in an airplane restored his speech to a man who for eight months had been usable to talk. He was u 14,000 feet, to which point, it appears, he rose to remark. Forty thousand seals already . have ! been captured by the Newfoundland fleet, according to an item of news of! the kind that women like to be all ' wrapped up In. Among other great Improvements which this gencratlonenjoys and former generations did not dream of Is the rapL&ßre breakfast graj'Ofrult.

FLOOD OF GOLD

AGAIN SET Greater Supply of Precious Metal in This Country Nov; Than Ever in Its History. COMES FROM 30 COUNTRIES Is the Only Subttance Which Has Been Received by All Races and Peoples in Exchange for Othr Property and Services. Washington. The !!ol of gold into the United States, which ebbed somewhat after reaching its pe;:I; in 11)17, has set In again and there is now probably a greater supply of this precious metal in the country than ut any other time in its history. This flow and what the present stock uf gold in the United States means in terms of the world supply is the subject of a bulletin issued from the Washington headquarters of the National (ieo- J graphic society. "Jold, the aristocrat of metals. Is truly cosmopolitan," as the bulletin, "and is found to a greater or less extent In every part of the world from near the equator in Africa, Peru and Horneo to thoiro'.ei! ground of Alaska, Finland and Siberia. Since the beginning of history, and doubtless long before any records were made, gold has largely typified tiio world's desire and it Iä the only substance which has been received by all races and peoples in exchange for other porperty and services. It was in truth, therefore, long before legislation by praetically every civilized country made it formal ly so, the world's standard of value. Pouring in From 20 Countries. in the early months of lirjl gold reached the United Stales from about thirty different countries. Muni of this gold doubtless originated in the United Slates, and there was among It, no doubt, metal from practically every source of gold known to the world. For the gold of the world constitutes practically a single stock held temporarily In many reservoirs; and as exchange rates and other icmomlc and financial conditions change, It Hows freely back and forth aud across along trade routes, weaving a veritable golden web tying the nation? together. "It is not at all Improbable that some of the gold that is pouring in on the shores of the United States first left this hemisphere in Spanish galleons after it was torn from the temples of the Incas by the Spanish Conquistadores. Another part may have rested once In the treasuries of the J real Moguls; while beside It is gold esh from the mines of Australia, the ..: ndike or the Hand. For, aside from that which is absorbed in. the arts or is lost or used in industry, practically all gold these days finds Its way to the pots of the assayer and goes to make up pawns In the world's trade. "Of what may be called the relatively common metals, fairly close estimates of the quantity, In existence can be made probably only for gold ami silver. Even for these two metals satisfactory estimates of production can be made only for the period since the discovery of AmerrVa. There Is nothing o;i which to base an Idea of the gold produced before but it Is safe to assume that because of the few sources and the primitive mining methods the quantity in treasuries and circulation at that time was but a small fraction of the ouantitv since! pn dueod. Nearly 30,000 Tons of Cold "Since Columbus landed in America, according to statistics ass tabled i! e director of the mint, the world production of gold through P,)li amounted to more than three-; nailers of a billion troy ounces. The estimated amount is the equivalent f 4 lS.Di: tons of the precious metal, occupying P.UOO.sr cubic feet, and worth more than seventeen and threequarter billions of dollars. "Not all the gold pnnluced since the discovery of America is available. Much has been used, destroyed or lost, and much in the form of jewelry or plate is out of circulation and not in treasuries. The best available estimate of the gold in circulation and in treasuries places tie amount at ?0,(MUXM.tHM or enough to make Jul of the foot-thiek 'dollars.' .lust about a third of this world treasure is now in the United States, and this is not far below the amount that has been yielded by. the mines of the United Stales.

POISON TONGUES WOULD RETRACT Now Seek Forgiveness of Young Townswoman Whom They Had Pilloried.

IT COMES TOO LATE Even Ministers Apologize, but Mrs. Mclntyre Feels That She Must Leave the Town Where Sho Suffered So Keenly. New Castle, Pa Mrs. Ada Mclntyre, wife of ."Scotty" Mclntyre, a steel worker, whom the town of NewCastle ostracized because she 'took a Motorcar ride with another man. Is h-avlng, In spite of the fact that the townspeople who pilloried her for her aet are willing to forgive. The forgiveness comes after she had been condemned by everyone and ministers had censured her for her net from the pulpits. Now the Mclntyre family, which Includes a twenty-months-old baby, 13 moving. "Scotty" Mclntyre has been a steel worker here for 25 years. Ills wife, tho town now admits, committed no grave error, save to accept the proffer of a ride with another married woman and two men. One of the men had been drinking, the .motor broke down, and In n quarrel one of the men was killed. Mrs. Mclntyre Under Ball. Mrs. Mclntyre Is under ball here as a material witness in connection with the death of J. C. Abraham, traveling salesman, who was slain while driving with Mrs. Mclntyre, Mrs. Harriet Olds and her brother, Itoy Phillips. The people of New Castle, whose sense of self-righteousness suddenly rose to the fore and condemned Mrs. Mclntyre without a hearing, are sorry. Even the ministers who condemned her have gone to her and npologlzed. It happened this way: Miss Murchard. New Castle's policewoman and probation ofTlcer, after reading Mrs. Mclntyre's published appeal for clemency from the Christian people of the community, went to call on "Scotty" and his wife. There she saw the spirit existing between the two and their happiness together. She went out and called on the ministers rind explained to them their mistake. She also had a talk with the leaders of public sentiment. , Committee Is Appointed. After talking things over a committee was appointed who went to the Arked Her Not to Leave the Town. little house which the Mclntyres were preparing to leave. They told the girlwife they were sorry, sorrier for themselves than for her, even. They asked her not to leave the town, as the family was planning, but to stay and be good friends with her town. One or two of the ministers said they would like to pray with her a little. She said she didn't mind; she would be glad for help so long as the minister who preached the vindictive sermon against her kept out of her way. If he represented true goodness, she did not want to be good. Her husband nodded approval. The fact that the men's Pdble classes in all the churches are growing Is an Indication that the v.oid is not growing all worse. All members of the Sons of liest in - ovormm'nt st'rvi(t sllou1'1 ,!e required o wear rubber keels to save wear and tear on the mahogany. Verdun objects io being so much :,.,.(rated.

Marked features, at the Paris openings show the straight silhouette of former seasons, the low waistline, und a new note sounded In the entrance of. full circular skirts with decidedly fiat backs. Sleeves for morning and afternoon frocks are nearly all full length and are set in at deep arm holes. They are quite slim and widen at the wrists to form something like the old-fashioned bell shape. Neck lines are square or rounded and the new tailored dresses show many high collars. Tailored dresses are made of all kinds of oreie materials, printed chiffons, and waxed taffetas are extensively used. Narrow valoncionnes lace is featured as trimming on serge and crepe frocks. LONG BLOUSE OUT OF DATF Hip Length Is Favorite; Many Reach Point Just Below the Normal Waistline. Waist length blouses, except In models of the distinctly sport type, have a I v. ed ju he mlwM th;s season. There is li-lrn;: .-Mid limbing.

The only woman w ho ever went over Niagara falls and lived is now in a poorhouse at the age of seventy-five. Another sad instance of how an unfeeling country rewards its public benefactors.
