U. S. Currency Tops
With $25 Billions
In Gold In Storage
Washington (U.R One hun
dred years ago California and
the world echoed to the cry of
"gold." But long before the
American discovery at Sutter's
mill men had fought and had
schemed to get gold and keep it.
Indestructible by heat, mois
ture or corrosive action, found
in virtually every corner of the
globe, gold for ages has been a
standard of value.
Today the fascination of gold
is still unchallenged, although
metals are far scantier arid val
ued even more highly. Not its
scarcity, but its very indestruc
tability and fairly general avail
ability have lifted gold to its
eminence.
But in the ages gold has been
knowh and used, no nation ever
piled up anything comparable to
the 700,000,000 ounces owned by
the United States and priced at
nearly $25,000,000,000.
Started in 1934
The United States started on
its way to being the world's
champion gold owner in Janu
ary, 1934, when the treasury
buying price for newly-mined
gold was raised to $35 and ounce
from $20.67.
At the same time gold was de
monetized and it became illegal
for Americans to use gold coins
or keep possession of currency
redeemable in gold. A whole
generation of Americans since
has grown up without a glimpse
of those $5 and $10 gold pieces
indulgent relatives sometimes
handed out at Christmas.
The greatest gold hoard in his
tory, held by the United States
at Ft. Knox, Ky., in the mints,
and the assay offices, has made
the American dollar king of the
market-place
Since business men every
where know the United States
owns about 60 per cent of the
world's gold, the dollar finds
ready acceptance.
Questions Raised
Many experts insist the United
States should be returned to a
free circulation of gold inter
nally, but others believe that
prohibiting gold ownership is
the best way to prevent gold
hoarding panics.
Women Adopt Tweeds
For Many Occasions;
Types Are Explained
New York (U.R) Amercian
women are getting as tweed-conscious
as their husbands.
Chances are that before the
current season is over the wom
en will be able to give their
husbands some helpful hints on
buying and caring for the
tweeds they've been wearing
for sporty occasions for years.
The difference between a Don
egal tweed and a Harris tweed,
for instance, is one little-known
fact that the average woman
could tell her tweed-wearing
husband.
A real Harris tweed has noth
ing to do with the name of a
firm or a man. It comes from
Harris Island, where the tweeds
are hand-woven. For centuries
the people of this island, one
of the two large islands in the
Outer Hebrides, have carded,
spun, woven and dyed the wool
tweed. Smoky grays, greens and
browns are the most character
istic Harris tweed colors.
Real Donegal
' A real Donegal tweed is a soft,
light weight tweed made from
nubby yarn, with tiny white
blue, green and red nubs at ir
regular intervals in the fabric.
The name comes from a moun
tain section in Northern Ireland,
where the true Donegal tweed
is woven. It can be a close
weave, or loosely woven of
large, soft yarn.
Any shopper interested in
Donegal tweed should remem
ber that there also is very fine
Donegal-type tweed on the mar
ket. It's similar in appearance,
but made from wool grown in
all parts of the world.
Shetland cloth, another popu
lar tweed, is a soft, loose weave,
light weight and with a silky
finish. Shetland cloth - comes
from a halfwild animal more
like a goat than a sheep which
lives In the Shetland Islands just
north of Ireland.
- There are tweeds of weights
and weaves to fit almost all coat,
suit and dress needs. The
weights range from seven and
one-half ounces to 18 ounces a
yard.
Unlike their husbands, worn
en can turn twcod into a dress
up outfit this season by com
bining it with velvet. Or, like
Hattie Carnegie, they can add
rhinestone buttons to the jacket
of a dress-up tweed suit for town
wear.
Good tweeds seem to have an
almost indefinite life, if proper
ly cared for. Tweed fabric
shouldn't be pressed too often.
It tends to mat down the tex
ture, at least temporarily. If it's
allowed to hang in the closet for
24 hours between wearings.
wool's natural resilience will
cause it to spring back into
shape.
