XEW YORK, March it. The City Transit Commission got a lesson in human curiosity the other day which !t will never forget. Incidentally it made itself Habje to arrest for ty:n? up traffic. The members of the commission wanted some actual photographs of rush hour subway crowds. So they strung some mercury lights in corridors of the Times Square subwaystation and posted motion picture camera and operators about. Expecting: that a few inquisitive persons might hang around the. camera men, they had put six special policemen on the Jo'b. Within four minutes after the lights were switched on, at five o'clock, the special policemen were engulfed and sunk without a trace. Hundreds, thousands, it seemed of men, women and children packed the corridor 90 decsley that persons trying to get into or out of the station decided there bad heen a bomb raid and gave .hp all thought ever of taking a subway train again. Charlie George from Abyssinia, is afcocked at our lack of clothes and our Informal manners. Ho registers this shock only as a means of defending his own Jand from calumniators, and not to 4 impolite. Mr. George, who runs an employment agency on "West street, and i one oi the seven only real Abyssionians in this country, read ia some paper the other day a treatise on the rampant narjsarism in his country and a declaration that gangs of wretched elaves chained together may be seen there ty any traveler. So he rose to protest. Not only are his people highly civilized, he says, but "Oh! If Abyssinian girl take off clothes like American girl -no good!" One f the Interesting stage presentations ci the season is that of the old miracle play. "Guibour," which Yvette Guilbert anfi a company of excellent players are p-jtting on for a special X.tea series at the Thirty-ninth Street theater. It is one of a collection of forty miracle plays all celebrating lji soma way the intervention of the Blessed Virgin, produced back la the days when the, theater had its beginnings In the church.

Here are two disappointed immi

grants to our shores who hold no!

grievance asrainst u because of, threatened deportation. Mr. and Mrs. Filippo Quattrocchi landed on Ellis Island from Italy recently. Because the husband's health is not good, deportation was ordered. During an appeal from this edict, they have remained at the immigration station there on the Island, and the other day when a daughter was bora to them they named her Ellis. That seems like full-hearted appreciation for half-heart ed hospitality. I rather hope the government will decide to stretch a point and let them stay here. Periwinkle and mimosa are the new and popular colors for spring and summer. That was made plain at the an nual meeting here of the Textile Color Card Association of the United States. Periwinkle is that new lavendary 'blue, and mimosa" is an exceedingly dainty yellow.

There are more ways than one of shifting responsibility. For instance, the ouija board. Down in Greenwich Village one of recent additions to our art colony is painting away energetically and almost amazingly. oe miirht say, under orders from that same board. She Js Dr. Flora Spore, one of the best dentist in Bay City, Mich., iuntil word came to her that she was meant to be an artist Instead. The spirits of Dore and Peregrineur direct her fcrush through the ouija. board says Dr. Spore, and If one doesn't like her work, 'blame those dead artists and not her. The Society for Psychical Research is investigating the case. A. A. Milne Is becomirg one pf our most frequent playwrights. With "The Dover Road," Mr. Pym Passes By and "The Great Boroopp" already to his credit on Broadway this season, we are shortly to see a new one. "The Truth About Blayds." Wlnthrop Ames is producing it and O. P. Heggie and Alexdra Carlisle are to play the leading parts. It will probably open late this month. LUCY JEANNE PRICE.

Mystery of Finance Is Export of German Funds

French Charge A Huge Amount of German Capital is Converted Abroad. T INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE BERIJN, March.-One of the big mysteries of international finance is the amount of foreign currency and foreign ae-curities held by Germans. Upon the solution of this mystery will depend largely the settlement of the reparations problem bat unfortunately the oniy light that can be shed upon it is that of conjecture and guesswork. So tfce mystery continue to remain quite mysterious. In their belief that Germany ia will

fully concealing her assets, French publicists have charged that capital to the amount of 6, 000, 0W, 000 to 7,000.000,000 gold marks ($1,406,000,000 to $1,640,000,000) has been converted into foreign securities or has been put on deposit Jn foreign banks. As itiie German reparations Installment for February, 1922. was only 650.000.000 go-Id marks ($160,000,000,000) It seemed evident to the French press that Germany could pay if she wanted to collect the money from her private citizens. CAWTAt FWJWWO OVT. Now comes an interview, published in a Berlin paper, quoting Herr Urbig, director of the Diconto-Gosellschaf t

(one of the largest ibanks in the Reich) adm:ttlng the outward flow of German capital. The figures given by Herr Urbig are quite naturally more conservative than those taken from the French press. His estimate and he admits it Is only an estimate puts the total of converted German capital at 1.500.000,000 gold marks ($351,000. 000). Most of this conversion took place he saps, during the fall of 1921, when the mark suddenly collasped. Against this figure, however, Herr Urbig sets up a debt of several hundred million gold marks representing amounts that German capital owe to allied and neutral co-untries. He cautions students of frenzied international finance to guard againet the furor Humeri the craze for writing strings of zeros and counting in billions and trillions. CAN'T STOP CO-NVEIISIO. Herr Urbig does not belie've that the German government will in its present juositjon be able to stop the conversion of rerru,ao capital. Stronger governments have tried to regulate the flow of financial paper freia one country into another, tbut have been baffled by the problem. The Treaty of Versailles -contains a clause permitting the Allied governments to $eize private German deposit In the financial institutions of Allid countries. This clause, however, has been ann-ulled through the efforts of

iiiiiiiiiiiiiii;

British financiers, who found that it drove away a lucrative amount of German business to American and neutral hanks.

ACID IN STOMACH

SOURS THE FOOD

,s Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is Cause of Indigestion. A well-lfnown authority states that stomach trouble and indigestion arc nearly always due to acidityacid stomach and not, as most folks believe, from a lack of digestive Juices He rtates that an excess of hyrochloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food fermentation, then our meals sour like garbage in a can. forming acrid fluids and gases which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eructate sour food, belch gas. or have heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash or nausea. He tells us to lay aside all digestive

aids and instead, jret from any phar

macy four ounces of Jad Salts and lake a tablespoonf ul in a glass of water before breakfast while it is eff ervff cing. and furthermore, to continue this for one week. While relief follows the tirst dose, it is important to neutralise the acidity. remo-e the ga.-'-makln3 nass, start the liver, stimulate th.kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive Juices.
