SWAY OF GOLD
REMOVES HAZARDS
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD'S
ADVISORY COUNCIL MAKS
STATEMENT.
Washington.—The federal reserve
board's advisory council believes that
the return of Great Britain and do
minions to a gold standard marks
once more the undisputed sway of gold
over the world's leading financial sys
tems and' removes from international
trade and finance one of the
hazards —fluctuating exchange—which
has confronted business since the out
break of the World War.
In one of the few formal statements
ever Issued by the council, which met
here Friday, it declared that when
England established a free gold mar
ket and anchored herself "unreser
vedly to the gold standard," the time
came to an end "when the world seem
ed to waver between monetary sys
tems frankly bottomed upon gold on
the one hand and fluctuating ex
changes and BOcallSd 'managed
rencies' on the other."
This was the second statement of
ficial sources in two days dealing
with America's part in the re-estab
lishment of the gold basis in England.
The first came from Dr. A. C. Miller,
federal reserve board member and
widely known economist, and was giv
en the approval of Secretary Mellon.
The council viewed the decision of
England to lift the ban on gold ex
ports as "an epoch in the financial
history of the post-war period."
"For the United States," the state
ment said, "this development Is of
vastest Importance.
"First, because we own approximate
ly one-half of the world's monetary
gold.
"Second, because in order to pre
serve for ourselves conditions of a well
balanced prosperity, foreign markets
absorbing our surplus production are
an Imperative necessity and It Is idle
to expect that without exchange
stability, the purchasing power of
foreign countries may regain its full
capacity.
"Third, in present world conditions
the sale of our vast excess production
to foreign buyers can only be main
tained on anything like the present
scale as long as we continue freely to
absorb foreign securities. Our ability
to do so, however, will depend upon
the degree of credit these foreign
countries will command here. We
have, therefore, a vital interest In
seeing the credit of our customers
placed on the strongest possible
basis.

Veterans Last Reunion Near at Hand.
Dallas, Texas. —Veterans of the Con
federacy prepared to surrender to
their final foe —Time. A proposal to
discontinue the annual reunions be
cause of the advanced age of the sur
vivors and to hold departmental re
unions Instead, was made at the 35th
reunion opening here.
A resolution offered by Col. J. B.
Lewis, Anderson, S. C., and Gen. W.
H. Colby, Greenville, S. C., Indicated
that the veterans themselves recog
nized that the inevitable dissolution
is at hand and that they cannot long
continue the general gatherings that
have brought them together for the
last 35 years to recount the battle
which they fought for the lost cause.
The plan is to have reunions In
three departments, each department
then to send delegates to an annual
convention to be held in New Orleans,
the headquarters of the veterans' asso
ciation. Bach of the 17 divisions of
the organisation would be presented
at the annual convention by one dele
gate. The inability of the veterans
longer' to stand the strain of long
travel, as well as the expense of the
annual reunion, are among the reasons
given for the proposal to discontinue
the general gatherings.
"The time is drawing near, if not
already at hand, when we should put
our house in order to meet the
changes that are necessary at this
time," reads the resolution.

FEEBLE UN
TO BE HELPED
VETERANS TO BUPPORT QREAT
HOME FOR NEEDY CONFEDER-
ATE WOMEN
Dallas, Texas—The feeble motheri
of the Confederacy are to be given
aid through the United Confederate
Veterans who voted support for a
$250,000 fund to sustain the Home for
Needy Confederate Women at Rich
mond, Va., during their thirty-fifth re
union closing here.
A plea for the home by Mrs. An
drew Jackson Montague, wife of Con
gressman Montague, of Virginia, arous
ed the veterans to one of the greatest
outbursts of enthusiasm of the con
vention.
"We now shelter 40 inmates, feeble,
tired children" of the Confederacy,
homeless, shelterless, driven from post
to post and wanted nowhere," said
Mrs. Montague.
"Our fair Southland is dotted with
beautiful monuments to our brave
soldiers but this home is the sole -ex
pression of our gratitude of our moth
ers of the sixties and we feel that it
will carry to oncoming generations
truer conception of Jur love and de
votion than any other form of monu
ment that could possibly be erected,
even though its dome might reach to
the Highest Heavens, and that the
grat'tude of those rescued from want
will bring more intonations than any
bell of brass could carry."
A resolution passed by the veterans
calls upon their comrades and friends
to contribute to the fund "to conse
crate It forever to the women of our
Southern Confederacy."
Another provision for the women of
the Confederacy was a decision to
place on the executive board of the
Southland Memorial. Association a
Confederate veteran fom each South
ern State.' The association plans to
build a southern college to Southern
women.
Miss Katherine Parkinson, of War
rington,VVat. t was chosen the most
beautiful member of any sponsorial
staff of Sons of Confederate Veterans
in Dallas and presented with £ silk
banner from the Texas division, Sons
of Veterans.
The convention rejected almost un
animously a proposal to discontinue
the annual reunions and to hold de
partmental meetings instead. The
veterans declared their desire to hold
the general reunions as long as "two
are left." They then selected Birming
ham, Ala., as the 1926 reunion city.
The veterans adopted a hands-off
policy with reference to the Stone
Mountain Memorial controversy, de
feating a resolution asking for repres
entation on the executive board of the
memorial association.
General W. B. Freeman, of Rich
mond, Va., commander of the Virginia
division, was unanimously elected com
mander-in-chief to succeed James
Thomas, of Dublin. Ga. The latter was

Forest City, Wa. - " My first child
lived only a short time and I was sick
When* t* ft€r *
I-ill if I drank justwater?
Once when we had been in town a little
book telling about Lydia E. Pink ham's
Vegetable Compound was left in our car.
I have taken five bottles of the Vegeta
ble Compound now and I do all my
housework and help with the milking
and taking care of chickens and gar
den. Besides I have a fine baby girl
eight months old, just the picture of
health and I am feeling fine myself.
You may use this letter as a testimo
nial and I will answer any letters ask
ing about the Vegetable Compound."

Red Herring A Croat Trail
This phrase, originally "to draw a
red herring across the track," is fre
quently heard In everyday speech to
signify a means used to divert one's
attention, to throw one off the scent
by Injecting Into the matter in hand
a new object upon which the atten
tion is then focused.
The expression dateß back to the
Seventeenth century for Its origin, be
ing a survival of the old practice of
sportsmen to draw the carcasß of a
cat or fox or a ;ed herring across the
track in training dogs for hunting.
The uniqueness of the phrase made
It stand out, and it soon became popu
lar in the figurative sense In which
It is used today.—Jean Newton in
Chicago Journal.
