Dollar International Trade Unit The United WASHINGTON. on a new its relation to world economic affairs, In the opinion of the federal reserve board, which in Its annual report Indicates a belief that increasingly greater Influ-ence In world economic progress will emanate from these shores. The great Influx of gold Into the United States which now has of the world monetary stock, the growing use of the American dollar with It gold standard as a trade basis, gradual expansion of American foreign trade, the adoption by many foreign Interests of American trade and com-mercial policies ure cited by the board as showing the responsibility that tnuBt be borne and accounted for by the lenders in the United States. Since the federal reserve system is accepted as charting the business course at home, its correspondingly in-creased power and responsibility in the larger field Is examined by the board In its report, and it has set Itself to the taslt of explaining the peace-tim- e functions of the system. It Indicates a belief that the general conception of how the system can give full force and effect to its chartered powers of aid-ing commerce and industry is too lim-ited anil makes a definite move toward a policy of promulgating such informa-tion hereafter. . Turning to the question of gold movements, the board says great con-cern is manifest because of their prob-able future extent and direction. It says that no future Inflow such us that that has taken place can be expected because of the restrictive measures taken by the Euroiean powers which are designed directly to control gold exports from their territorial Jurisdic-tions. Then, too, the board asserts that In international trade gold " has main-tained its conventional position throughout the decade of currency dis-organization and with the growing ne-cessity for a common basis for calcu-lating commodity prices there has been a marked tendency to equalize values on the basis of the American dollar because of the gold that backs it. "Thus," the report adds, "the Amer-ican dollar has become the link be-tween countries on a paper currency basis and the gold standard. "In this adjustment the American dollar, not only because of Its converti-bility into gold but because of its sta-bility and because of the trade posi-tion of the United States, has become Increasingly the unit of account in International trade." Is British Embassy to Seek New Home? will disappear If the old brick resi-dence from which the "Hon and uni-corn" look down on the passing throngs is to be demolished like Us aristocratic neighbor, the former embassy of Italy and France are to erect splendid embassy homes on Six-teenth street, and the Spanish, Mexican and Cuban embassies already are es-tablished there, together with the le-gations of Poland, Persia, Czechoslo-vakia and Venezuela. It therefore seems probable that Great IJrltaln will seek another locality, possibly near the great cathedral of SS. Peter nnd Faul, where the ground may still be pur-chase- ii in acreage. Ground plots for embassy nnd lega-tion buildings are becofning more spa-cious In recent years, and in Washing-ton, where the official world is general-ly kept In resilience (hiring the entire summer, gardens' and wide verandas are necessities Instead of luxuries. Then garden parties nnd al fresco amenities of every vnriety make up a lnree part of the social activity. Pres- - to gossip, one of ACCOHDINO which will Esme Howard will be to select a suitable location for a new embassy. Taking a cue from the versatile SI. Jusserand, who sold a site which the French government had owned for the past fifteen years, at a figure which permuted the purchase of another and more spacious piece of ground and la a more desirable neigh-borhood, the British ambassador has been advised that the psychological moment has come tr dispose of the fine property In Connecticut avenue already submerged In the rtfing tide of busi-ness.

It was made kaown at the White House. A bill now before congress that would give to the people of Porto ltico the power to eUet their governor, it Is snld, has the approval of the President. A delegation recently culled upon the President to urge a change In the man-ner of naming the governor of Porto ltico. The President, It Is understood, told the Porto Klcnils ut that time that In his Judgment the fundamental ques-tion Involved In the govenunent of Porto ltico is the difficulty if having in elective legislature and a governor aho serves by reason of appointment iy the President. Mr. Coolidge, It is aid, takes the view that aa arrange-ment of that kind, even when all par-ies proceed with the greatest possible tact, has In it necessarily eleiients thut are quite likely to lead to some kind of conflict between the governor on the-on-blind and the local legislature on the other. At this particular time- - It apitefirs that affairs are in good scurpe pi litlcal-l- y In the Island, but the President be-l!e-os that some means should be pro-vided whereby a governur is elected by the people rather ttnia appointed by the President.

He suggested the authorization of an additional Is-sue of $ji,(Xo,ooo in bonds, the refund-ing and m teres t charges for which can be adequately cared for Among the project proposed, nnd to be pnliit for by the bond sale, are the completion of the capital building; the building of a new insane asylum, a new penitentiary, and a school for the blind; the development of community centers through the of the departments of evtucetlon and agricul-ture by building la designated districts motfel consolidated rural schools near model farms, and the strengthening of the University tt Porto ltico by means of more builUin;;s, equipment and fao utty.

Secretary Hoover has written to Senator Oipper (Hep., Kan.). The circumstances affecting each commodity have been determined by Fpeclal Commerce department investi-gations, and the secretary asserted thut the situation, required federal legislation suggesting particularly modification of foreign trade statutes to allow American purchasers to com-bine in their buying, without regard to existing anti-trus- t laws, lie advo-cated the extension of the e act, which allows American producers to combine for the purpose of selling In export so as to penult the setting up of common purchasing lU'ct-elc- j by American Interests which utilize the monopolized foreign raw ma-terials. "Foreign monopolies or combinations are potentially or actually In control of prices and distribution of the fol-lowing commodities," Mr. Hoover's let-ter said , "Sisal for binding twine Is con-trolled through u combination of pro-ducers reinforced by legislative action of tfie Yuentnn government.

"It Is," said the bedposts. They did not say much. They were rather stiff and of few words. "The Dreamland King sends beauti-ful dieams, I know," the mattress con-tinued, "lie deserves the appreciation he gets. I am willing he should get it Quite willing. - "But I don't seem to get any appre-ciation at all. And many of my fam-ily suffer In the same way." "Sume with our family," said the bedposts. "i'ou see," said the mattress, "peo-ple are all tired out when they come to me. They're tired of staying awake. "Or If they are not all tired out at least they are feeling that they need a rest anyway and that a rest will be good for them. "Or if they do not think that about themselves some one else thinks It for them. "But they look forward to the dreams the Dreamland King may send thera. And they don't begin to ap-preciate that la the first place I make It so comfortable for them that they feci like seeing the Dreamland King and of hearing what he has to tell them. "They hardly ever say a kind word for the mattress and H Is Just a shame. "It Is seldom when you get up in the morning that yero hear thera says " 'Well, that comfortable mattress la Joy.' "Xo, they speak of a refreshing sreep and of how much better they feel and of pleasant dreams they have had but rbey don't say a word about me. "Once In a great while some one says when there seems to be no other conversation about If that Is the way one speaks of conversation that I'm a good, strong mattress and a comfort-able one. "But those times-- are-- very, very sel-dom. "Usually they are at dull times, such as housecleanlng time, when maybe I'm given a little bit of the springtime and am allowed out on some benches with a nice green lawn beneath and a nice blue sky above. "I need that little bit of springtime for my life la not very Joyous when you think that hardly a pleasant thing Is ever said of me when I keep on giv-ing all the rest nnd ease I cen." "They don't speak of us," said the bedposts. "And yet they'd be In a pret-- ty state of affairs If It weren't for us. "They wouldn't like to be on the ground, or on the floor.

Even If they don't appreciate us we will never let thera fall." "No," said the mattress. "And neither will I do any other way than I have always done. "Besides, you very seldom see' any-thing else, poor bedposts, and I do get 'aired,' as they call Itf, out the window. "Yes, I get a whiff of air and my .mattress self feels much better for It. And I'm changed and turned over every day or s, and that Is a great comfort. "I don't like being In just the same position ull the time. "No mattress does. Put I still think that-- mattress Is treated pretty badly when It gets so little credit fur what It does. "lint then, alas, such Is life t And I'd rather be a mattress than bed-posts. I like a lying-dow- n position. I could never bear It standing up all the time." "But we wouldn't want to be lying down," the bedposts said. "After all, there Is something to be said In our favor. And we wouldn't want to b nnd exposed to all kinds of weather." "I suppose the would hate to be Indoors all the time," the mattress said. "Yes, we all have our complaints, but I don't suppose, when It comes right down to it, we'd want to change places with anyone. I wouldn't even wunt to change duces with the Dreamland King. I could never be so advent tiresome, nor have so iiwmy "ideas:" Tortoite Shell Tortoise shell Is used ns veneering In fine cabinet work. It Is cut for such purpose in exactly the same man-ner ns any of the fine woods. There are two grades of thickness, the saw cut and the knife cut. The first, aver-Hiin- g from to of an Inch In thickness, Is cut with n small saw. The knife cut makes from 00 to 100 sheets to 'an Inch. The knife Is used something like a plane. The object is fixed on a table and the knlfe blade works back-ward und forward. Tortoise shell was formerly cut by band, about one-elght- h of nil Inch In thickness, and then planed. It may be softened by e heat ond may then be cut read-ily. Whales Face Extinction So many whales are now being killed off the coasts of South Africa that oppeals have been made to the Union government to restrict their tak-ing to the larger size males. A total of 700 whales In a year were killed by companies operating out of South African ports and in the nearby wa-ters. Whales are becoming scarcer and smaller as a result of unrestrict-ed slaughter and It Is now proposed to prohibit the killing of females and of all whales below a certain size, de-pendent on the species.
