A6 W STABILIZING FUND i F UIUMDUUBI szndom Whether Roosevelt Will Ex- tend Life of “Kitty” Being Debated. By the Associated Press. Two schools of thought are develop- ing as to what President Roosevelt should do next January 30 when he ‘must decide whether to continue the '$2,000,000,000 stabilization fund, which he jocularly calls the “kitty.” -~ One view, held by a number of ad- ministration officials, is that both the stabilization fund and the presidential authority to make further reductions 4n the weight of the gold dollar should ‘be maintained. Both the fund and the devaluation powers will expire January 30 unless the President proclaims that an eco- nomic emergency still exists and that they are needed for another year. Bargaining Power Cited. . Those who favor retaining these Powers argue that they would keep the “United States in a position to bargain effectively at any international con- ference which might be called to #tabilize foreign exchange. In some quarters outside the ad- ministration, however, it has been sug- gested that termination of the Presi- dent's devaluation powers would re- “move an element of uncertainty for Dusiness. ‘To this contention, officials reply that there is little apparent concern 3n business circles over the discre- tion which now rests with the Presi- dent and that business probably would be more alarmed at the effect & change of policy might have on the dollar's foreign value. Operations Kept Secret. - 'The stabilization fund was created dn January, 1934, so the Treasury, by buying and selling in the money markets, could regulate the foreign value of the dollar. Its operations ‘have been kept secret, but Secretary Morgenthau told a congressional com- mittee several months ago that the fund had made a profit. Treasury spokesmen say there has been little opportunity for losses in stabilization operations, adding that the dollar's worth abroad has been maintained well by the price at which this Government sells gold for ex- port. At the same time the stabilization fund was set up, President Roosevelt reduced the weight of the gold dol- lar to 59.06 per cent of its former weight. The authority which he still holds, and which he may retain an- other year beyond January 30, would permit him to make a further reduc- tion to 50 per cent. it i e S Births Reported.

A Washington party recently ar- rived at the hotel about 11 p.m. There was no one to be found downstairs, but on the desk ‘nas a register in which was desig cd what rooms were vacant.

He awakened one morning after a territying dream of fleeing from a locomotive whose boiler was about to explode, the blast seeming still to ring in his ears as he came back to consciousness. Reaching over to & table to light a cigarette, he noticed a watch showed it was about 5 'clock— & minute or so either way.

DVRING the first inter-American horse show here Col. C. L. Scott, the manager, seemed to think it a good idea.to explain each of the events in detail every day. the first time local audiences had seen certain types of competition, and he ‘believed it advisable to tell them all about the international horses, the riders and the courses. Consequently the colonel was glued to the microphone and spouting forth words of wisdom almost every minute a class was not going cn in the ring. This probably was a great help to the novitiates, but to Army officers and others who had known the American riders ever since they were in West Point and the horses since they were 'FRENCH & 8 Starting November 1 at 8 THE BERLITZ SCHOOL OF 1115 Conn, Ave. ~Relief For The Itching of Eczema 1t's wonderful Yhe way soothing, cool- Limited burning skin, even in severe cases.

A FORMER push cart pusher has taken up chicken farming and to his new job he has carried a theory of division of labor, to judge from the following conversation with a neighbor: “How many chickens have you?” the latter asked. “I only gotta two hen and wan-a- rooster. De rooster he no good. He justa eat and walk around and crow, 80 I set him.” “You set him?” “Sure. You come in da house and I show you.” The neighbor followed the former push cart pusher as he led the way into the hen house. On a nest in a box sat a rooster with each leg through a hole in the bottom of the box with s string tied around his legs so he could not rise. “I make him hatcha da eggs,” said the proud chicken raiser.
