On this basis it is estimated that altogether 10,000,000,000 lei are being kept out of circulation, ,which sum is said to constitute 50 per cent. of all the money issued by the National Bank. The savings are hidden in stockings, cupboards, chests and drawers of small holders who have on an average less than $66 each.

A contrast between shipping of Lhe past and present was drawn fn' a New Brunswick branch of the Cana, dian Women's. Press Club. Relating reminiscences of a voyage from Saint 50 years ugo, when she was alsmall child, Miss Payson instanced the dif-! ference between a V/est Indian trip then and one today. "If the old days we went aboard | with the knowledge that it would be many days, or even weeks, if winds] were contrary, before we again trod dry land," she said, "hose were the days of real ro- mance, when the little ships could poke their way into small far har- bors, through coral reefs and up into maungrove-guarded river mouths, touching the seciuded places which the big ships can never reach, "I have in mind now.an inlet on a tropical island where our little ship lay for a week, a sandy reef to sea- ward, passed, and a low shore, all dismal smangrove growth. There were two ways of getting inland. One meant rowing up a small stream after pass: ing the mangroves. At the: other spot at which it was possible to land there was a road with one building of wood, a so-called 'store, and 'a cluster of huts like bee-hives, thie homes of the natives." Recalls Brig In her account of a child's remi- niscences, Miss. Payson told of the southern trip in her father's brig, tife Ceres Payson. It left Saint John with a load of lumber, piled high even on the decks and shutting out light from the cabin. Even in rough weather, although the load was higher than the rail, as If a wall rose between them and "the unfathomable depths ; below," said Miss Payson. One of the crew was washed overboard at night during stormy weather. if Delayed by hard going, the brig was still far from land on Christmas but Santa Claus visited the child never- the less. Among her gifts was a pair of slippers from the cook, "who was a shoemaker by irade. Anybody who couldn't get.a job, or who wanted to get to some other country, in those days could always ship as a cook. He didn't need to have any previous knowledge of cooking." After a long stormy trip the brig reached its island 'destination, sub- stituted the cargo of lumber for one home port. % ; mp Scottish Unemployed Receive Aid GLASGOW -- Seven Scotsmen are said to be on allotments in 1933 for every two in 1932 as « result of the activities of the Scottish National Union of Allotment Holders and the Society of Friends.
