PARIS, February 24—According to | conservative estimates there are two Dbiilion francs in gold coins hidden away in the traditional “old stock- fng” of the French people, and if France had this hidden gold at its @isposal the country’s financlal situa- tion would be distinctly improve Every kind of appeal but one h been made to induce the holders to let the state have their hoarded colns, and, during the war, much was recuperated under patriotic influences, What remalns seems to form an wnattainable residue as far as the state is concerned. Every now and then, however, cases come before the courts wherein people are condemned for going round the country buying up 20-franc pieces, which they induce the hoarders to surrender in return | for from 40 to 50 fran Their real value is more like 70 francs, but this traffic is illegal and dealers in it need high rates of profit. Jose Thery, a financial writer, is advising the state to offer enough paper for gold to bring out this two dillion. Theoreticians, he says, will be shocked at the idea of the state admitting its 20-franc gold coln is worth more than its 20-franc bill. The humblest fleld laborer knows this, so what harm can the state’s sdmission do? he asks. Dyes Make Rugs Famous.

LOCAL GUARD HELD DESERVING OF PAY Record Among Best in Coun- try—Training Effect Is Cited. The suggestion that the deficiency appropriation of $1,300.000 to cover armory drill pay for members of tha National Guard throughout the United States during the remainder of the flscal vear, not be disbursed has brought forth an announcement that the local and nearby citizen soldlery in particular, deserve better treatment. Attentlon is directed to the fact that the 29th Natlonal Guard Divis- | fon, commanded by Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, a lifelong Washingtonian. and composed of the Natfonal Guard troops of the District of Columbia Maryland and Virginia, is the first of the National Guard divisions not Umited to one State to complete Its organization. Particularly is this true of the division staff, which has been organized and has functioned as such for a year or more. The 29th Division staff, made up of officers located in widely scattered points throughout Maryland and Vir- ginia, as well as in this city, not only assembled here for conference, instruction camps at Virginii Beach, Va., last Summer. Throughout the Winter regular divis- ion staff instruction has been the rule, ior instructor, an officer of the Regular Army and a graduate of the Leavenworth School, lternating his visits among Baltimore, Rich- mond and this city Tuesday evenings. An elaborate maneuver was hild aturday, from 1 o'clock p.m, to 7 b'elock p.m., most of the division staft officers belng present, those from out of town coming at thelr own ex- pense. The 20th Division is under the direct supervision of 3d Corps Area head- quarters, located in Baltimore. The diviston has its “G-1'* “G-2," “G-3" and “G-4" and other heads of de- partments, organized and functloning, the idea being that should hostilitles be declared_tomorrow the 29th Natonal Guard Division could take the field with its administrative machinery moving smoothly, without lost motion and without loss of time in getting the motor started. The program last Summer. was in the The plan for the coming out- door effort provides for the active co- operation of the Signal Corps and the ngineer Corps. Combat positions in the fleld will be established, with sig- nal communication in operation. Mes- ages will be recelved and answers sent, the conditions of actual warfare being simulated as closely as possi- ble in time of peace. £ As explained, the 28th Division is declared to be the first of the Na- tional Guard divisions composed of units not all of which are located within the borders of one State to organize and function. “The effort has make the 29th Division a model for the entire country,” Maj. Gen. Stephan sald to- day. ‘““This city is the Capital of the Jation. Washington is honored by having the headquarters of the divi- sion allocated to it. “We are frightfully handicapped by lack of armory facilities, but are hoping that Congress, at its next ses- sion, will come to our rellef with an appropriation for a suitable structure. We cannot believe that such a blow will be struck now as to deprive us of the armory drill pay, so sorely needed. Should we be compelled to eliminate even a few of the remain- ing armory drills scheduled for the balance of the fiscal year, the im- portant work in the fleld the coming Summer will suffer from a severe handicap. “We want an armory for the Na- tional Guard of the District of Co- lumbla that will be a model for the entire country, and we want the 29th National Guard Division, with head- quarters at the National Capltal, to be the outstanding organization of its kind in the United States. We are doing everything in our power to at- tain the ends mentioned, but we need encouragement and we need help.

After Years of Controversy State Standard Now Ready for Post Of- fice Department Collection. By the Assoclated Press TOPEKA, Kans.,, March 28.—Kansas, the last of the States without an offi- clal flag, 1s now ready to add its standard to the collection on display at the Post Office Department in Wash- ington. After a controversy extend- ing oven 10 years, the State Legisla- ture has adopted a design proffered by the Women's Relief Corps The new State banner 15 of solid blue, bearing at its center & sunflower, whose petals inclose and surround the State seal. Above the sunflower is the word Kansas. Thus was the sunflower given offi- clal approval as the State flower along with the State banner, and this year, too, the meadow lark was elected State bird by the school ohil- dren of Kansas. Wheat and the gun- flower vied with each other for the honor when the legislators debated the adoption of the flag, but the House of Representatives upheld the name of the Sunflower State despite the popularity of Kansas' motto: “Kan- sas Grows the Best Wheat in the World."” Selection of a flag deslgn has been a controversial Issue in every Legisla- ture for a decade. The two rival pa- triotic organizations, the D. A. R. and the Women's Relief Corps, G. A. R. auxiliary, have contended with every Legislature for the adoption of their designs. HONDURAS TO ASK LOAN. Financial Agent Named to Get Funds in This Country. TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, March 28.—Juan R. Lopez has been appoint- ed financial agent and Intrusted with the task of negotlating a loan In the United States The government desires to raise enough money to pay the Honduran internal and foreign debt and to pro- vide funds for continuation of the interoceanic raflway. The new constitution provides that the government must bulld a certain section of this system each year until the road is completed. Col. Sherrill has beaches of this type under consideration (Continued froim First Page.) in the new water system for the Dis- trict, and some use must be found for these hasins and the biy area which they in part cover. Each of the basins—which are separated by a dividing wall—has un area of 115374 square feet on its floor. They are 20 feet deep—entirely too deep for safe bathing—but it is pointed out that if one or both of thess basins should be usel for bath- ing purposes, it would not be neces- sary to fill entirely and the water could be made any depth desired. They are of concrete construction. Further, it would be possible to make a sloping floor from one end or side of the basin, so that shallow water would be available for the small chil- dren and non-swimmers. Would Serve Purpose. Something must be done with these basins, it is said, after the new water system has been put into use in 1927. A suggestion has been made that they be turned into an athletic stadium, with the wall separating them torn down, and that the entire area be given over to athletic flelds. But if the District Is to proceed with the construction of bathing beaches, it would appear that one or part of one of these basins could well be used for that purpose. The reser- voir is close by Rock Creek Park and accessible to thousands of per- sons. Tn discussing bathing beaches Col. Sherrill said that if this plan of artificial beaches Is followed, un- doubtedly one should be constructed in Potomac Park, whers, he said, there is ample room. It may be that such @ beach might be provided on Columbia Island, where a basin could readily be hollowed out. Other beaches, he sald, should be constructed In different sections of the city, In the northeast, for example, #0 that the people in all parts of Washington would be able to enjoy bathing and swimming during the Summer months, The withdrawal of the use of the bathing beach in the Tidal Basin has put the District back many years, so far as outdoor bathing is concerned. Some solution of the problem is eager- 1y awaited. Hundreds—thousands—ot men and boys will use the river this Summer for bathing purposes, disre- garding the dangers of drowning In unsupervised swimming and ignoring warnings against disease, which may be contracted from swimming in al- leged polluted waters. Other large municipalities in this country situated on rivers and lakes have undertaken to solve the problem of possible pollu- tion of the waters, so that their peo- ple may use the waters S0 conven- fently at hand. Congrese will doubt- less consider this problem with great care. The Potomac River shore in Vir- ginla above the Key Bridge is very beautiful. The acquisition of that part ¢f the river bank for park pur- » has been agitated from time to time in the past. The National Capital Park Commission created by “ongress to add to the park system of Washington has its first appro- priation, $600,000, to expend this year. It will have an appropriation each year for this purpose. It is not un- likely that the commission eventu- ally will give consideration to the proposal to include these pallisades of the Potomac in the park system. If it does so, admirable places for bathing and swimming could be lo- cated along the shore, provided steps were taken to prevent pollution of the waters of the river. Others Have Beaches. In many of the {nland cities of the country, and also in some bordering on rivers and the coast, large arti- ficial bathing beaches, such as pro- posed by Col. Sherrill have been con- structed and are used with much satisfaction by the people. These artificial beaches and pools are kept in hygienic condition. They have been carefully built and in many forms. Some of the cities which have con- structed bathing beaches for the use of the people are Omaha, Nebr.; Fort Worth, Tex.; Pittsburg, Kan: Kan- s#as City, Mo.; Memphis, Tenn.; Min- neapolls, Minn.; Lawrence, Mass. Scores of othera have their pools and beaches, too. The most popular pools, it {s sald, are those which provide both wading and swimming. Some are constructed with the deep part in the center and with sloping floors all around. Figures Are Cited. Stanley Pinel, in a pamphlet on outdoor swimming pools, published by the Jowa State College of Agri- culture and Mechanic Arts, says that as a result of a study made of sev- eral swimming pools that each swimmer requires a mini- mum of 20 to 50 square feet of area in which to swim, depending on the type of pool. Those whiah are used only for swimming must provide a greater area per person bathing. Several State boards of health have held that there should be 800 gallons of water for each person using a pool at one time. In any ordinary pool there is much more than this amount of water provided, Mr. Pinel said. The problem in Washington is to afford the maximum use of the facili- ties for bathing with the minimum of danger. With no large municipal bathing beaches, and the river avail- able—even though polluted—the bath- ing will be largely limited to men and boys, and the women and little chil- dren will be unable to take part. The Board of Trade, through its public health committee, headed by Dr. Percy Hickling, has looked into the bathing problem since the recent action of Congress, and has adopted recom- mendations of that committee 1ooking to construction of a large municipal swimming pool to be used in conjunc- tion with the small pools already in existence. ‘WDATF to Broadcast Ball Scores.

Valuable archeological discoveries in the form of Orfental gold coins and a seal of a Persian monarch, either of King Artaxerxes I, who relgned 465-424 B. C, or Artaxerxes 11, who was monarch from 359-338 B. C, have been brought to light by sclentists In a survey of material packed away and forgotten in store- rooms and vaults of Russian mu- seums. The Russian information bu- reau made this announcement tonight based on information received from the joint information bureau in Moscow. The seal, chaloedony, deplots the king, in war raiment, leading three prisoners, th whole being framed with bran a date palm. A Perslan ins on the seal reads: ption “I am Artaxarxes, the Great King.” The seal will be exhibited in the Oriental section of the Fine Arts Museum in Moscow. The Orfental coins uncovered con- sisted chlefly of colns of the “Golden Horde,” the name _given to the Tartars under Batu Khan, grandson of Jenghiz Khan, who established @ Tartar dynasty in Russia in the thir- teenth century. A glazed vessel in which the coins were found hes an Arabic inscrip- tion to the effect that the coins were the property of a man who lived in the later days of the Golden Horde and who had suffered financial re- verses, but bequeathed the remainder of his wealth for purposes of educa- tion. The insoription also included carved on a cylinder of | | 1osses several phrases. Twelve hundred of the best pre served coins were said to have been placed among colleciions in th Historical Museum {n Moscow. SUES SECRETARY WORK.
