The ratio between gold and notes in the twenty:three countries and dol- onles whi¢h participated in the war fell from?71.3 per cent in July, 1914, to 158 per cent in November, 1918, and to 112 Iast December.. Among the elght principal neutrals the move- ment was the other way, their gold in- ereasing faster than their currency. The ratio rose from 443 per cent In 2914 to 59.9 per cent last December. From 1914 to lash December the ra- tlo of gold reserve !\J currency notes, the tables show. fell in France from 62 per cent to 9.6; in Great Britain from 134 to 229 per cent; in Italy from 70 per cent to 7.5; in the United States from 99.6 per cent to 52.3. While world paper currency was in- creasing seven-fold national debts, represented by bonds and other prom- fses to pay, rose from $40,000,000,000 to $260,000,000,000; bank deposits and the use of checks and other circulat- ing media made a corresponding ad- vance, while meantime gold produc- tion fell oft from $460,000,000 a year in 1914 to $350,000,000 in 1919.

One of the girls is to be married on the following \Wednesday, so, of course, her fiance does all in his power to rescue her. He is aided by the other four men, each trying to rescue his lady. Finally a doctor, a jvoman, discovers that the baby is omly af- flicted with a rash ‘capsed from the cutting of an eye-tooth. Needless to say, the girls, in great haste, throw things into their suftcases, and joy- fully motor home with the boys.
