BRITONS TO BENEFIT
GREATLY BY RETURN
OF STERLING TO PAR
LONDON, Feb. 14.—The return to
gold standard will probably not inter
est the average Briton until he sees
golden coins in circulation again, or
until such a decline has occurred in
commodities through the pound reach
ing par as to affect his weekly house
keeping account.
To one section of London's popula
tion, however, the rising pound is
closely watched and viewed with dis
may, and among employes of Ameri
can houses who at one time were
i passing rich with their dollar basis
I pay at 3-50 to the pound, there is con
jstant wailing at the gradually dirnin
' ishing pay check.
In the opinion of Sir Herbert Hamb
| ling, deputy chairman of Barclay’s
Bank, there will not be an immedi
ate return to the use of sovereigns in
stead of notes. Writing in the Week
ly Dispatch he says that par exchange
has not yet been reached and even
when it has, some time must elapse
before the country could return to a
free gold market.
“If we were immediately to issue
[gold and to allow it to move freely
[from this country to another,” he
j says, “there would be danger that
i we might experience too heavy a
Idrain upon our gold supply, and if
■we then had to suspend the free gold
[market a general setback to conl'i
J dence would result.”
After recounting the factors which
have helped the rise in sterling, in
cluding the Dawes report, the Greek
loan, Britain’s regular debt payments
to America and United States ioans
to Europe, Sir Herbert mentions a
few of the benefits which Britishers
may expect on the return of the lb.
sterling to parity.
There will be a saving of $7,800,
000 yearly on the instalments of the
American debt, imports of foodstuffs
and raw material will be cheaper and
one of the most hampering influences
on trading will have been removed.
Sir Herbert utters a warning
against being content with the pound
at par, and urges the nation to cheap
en production, improve the export
trade and settle down to work stren
uously in order to get British prices
down to the level of American so that
confidence in the par rate of exchange
can be established.

RADIO TELLS WOMEN
WHAT NOT TO EAT
BERLIN, Feb. 14—The radio has
been pressed into service to tell the
German liausfrau what she may eat
and what she must refrain from eat
ing to retain a graceful form. Ten
minutes are given every evening on
the radio program to a discussion of
practical hints on woman’s diets. The
chief commandment reads, “don’t eat
too much chocolate and candy.”
NEW YORK’S BROADCASTING
CHEERS NORTHERN LABRADOR
LONDON, Feb. 14.—The Moravian
mission boat, the 223 ton bark Har
mony, the smallest boat on a regular
run across the Atlantic, has berthed
here on the return from her annual
voyage to the mission stations in La
brador.
It took the bark 18 days to return
from Newfoundland, according to her
skipper, Captain Jackson. For the
first time for many years, he says,
the Eskimo population shows a slight
increase. The one wireless set in
all the New York concerts, but cannot
Northern Labrador regularly receives
tune in with British stations.
SALT WATER FROZEN AT
TACOMA FOR FIRST TIME
TACOMA. Wash, Feb. 14.—The rec
ord cold weather of this winter froze
salt water in this section heavily for
the first time in the history of the
weather bureau. There was ice
enough to provide skating and the
fishing fleet at Gig Harbor was froz
en in. Skaters skimmed around the
fleet for a radius of a quarter of a
mile.
The temperature was six degrees
above zero, the lowest ever registered
here.
POLICE SAFEGUARD GUESTS
AGAINST BERLIN HOTELS
_
BERLIN, Feb. 14.—To avoid over
! charges against foreign and other
i guests at local hotels, the Berlin po
lice have issued orders requiring ho
tels to display a sign or card in every
room clearly stating the price of the
room, including service, light and
heat.
The police have decided also that
it will no longer be necessary for for
eigners to register with authorities.
Visitors to the capital are thus spar
ed an irritating and time-consuming
procedure inherited as a hang-over
from the war.
