MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1935, ) PARIS (UP) A nw monetary movement to force Lobi. Frencfi ; poutsslon in West EquatorSai AI rict, off the hell standard ti un derway, according to a dlspatcn received from Gaoua. commercial capital of that region. Following the footsteps of the United States, Great Britain and Belgium In abandoning the gold standard, export merchant, specu late and exchange agents have started attacking the cowry, the highly polished, thick, inall-lttte shell that Is used as nattve money from Timbuctu to the Oulf of Benin and throughout the whole basin of the Nlger-Benue. Collection Complicated The movement Is aald to have the support of French authorities as the ue of shell currency com plicates the collection of taxea. which are estimated for Oaoua. alone, at 150.000 francs annually or, at an averaee rate of exchange. 300.000,000 cowries. The cowry fluc tuates between 12 to 24 cowries per aou. With the increase of International trade In this far-off possession, many merchanta are beginning to realize the need of a more inter national money and are attempting to convince the natives that met alie and paper monies are Just as good as pretty shells even If they cannot be worn on strings about the neclc for adornment or charms. Wide Fluctuation In this connection, monetary ex perts point out that the shell stand rd of Lobl is In a constant state X fluctuation as It Is compelled h change In relation to the de mand for French money during those periods when taxes must be paid or roreifm i French currency. It is also influ enced by' gold production in the region. Despite this movement, however, the natives persist in buying and riling on the basis of these shells which come from the Maldive Is lands and are dlflicult to obtain In Lobl, an island territory wedded between the Oold and Ivory coBsts. Partisans of the shell standard em phasize that owing to the scarcity of shells In lobl It Is almost Im possible to have Inflation if only cowries are used as the accepted unit of exchange. Dislike French Francs The dispatch states that although French money Is often used in the market place at Gaoua, the natives immediately change the francs they receive into cowries at one of the several booths of franc ' and shell exchange agents before going home. Owing to the cheap primitive pur chases of the natives, even the French merchants are forced to ac cept shells as change for sous. The movement is being vigor ously opposed by native million aires in terms of shells as they fear abandonment of the shell standard would wipe out their for tunes. They have a tremendous in fluence on the natives In general and are given active support of cowry hoarders. This photo, with artist's touches, shows one of several architects plans for Orrgoas new rapitot The site Is a combination of the present capitol grounds, the Willamette ttniverstty campus and a part of Willson park. At thr top betwoea Vonct and State streets are tl; snpremc court and state office buildings. The white space in leff-conter is the present capitol grounds on which the harnetl state hoase stotKl. The squares at the bottom show locations of future uUs to balance with state build ings shown at top. To the right of Btatc street is present "Willamette campus veith Sweet land field at extreme right. This artist's plan is to re-Iocato State street, Imild the rapifo! o the site of the present university administration building and transform the present cnpltol grounds into a saaken garden. The area comprising the portion of WlUson Park and the WiliameUe campus is sufficient for nil futnre state building needs. This roomy site makes possihfe construction of a type of capi io, whose savings, in comparison with cost of a skyscraper style of structure on the present tiny capHot site, wilt pay a large part, if not ail, of the state's share of the Willamette site. 1 r- ..g LEKINGRAD (UP) An arctic ex-j Grandmother Thrice at 35 peditton of the Academy o History BUCHANAN, Mich.

RATS ARE RATED HH IIS PARIS (CP) If rata could be giwn Intelligence tests they would rate higher than the average man. the di rector of the Museum of Natural His tory at Le Havre believes.
