Washington.--^The Intricate part that gold has played in the affairs of civilization, and something of the romance that clings to the yellow metal, are disclosed by Frederick Sinipich in a communication to the National Geographic society. "When gold was used merely as a personal adornment. In plate, or In the decorative arts," be writes, "it swayed the destiny only of those who possessed It, as in Peru and Mexico, or when Rome paid chariot loads of It to the barbarians to save berself from being sacked. But when gold came In to wide use as money, to measure wagfes, prices, and the cost of living in all nations, then It began to influence the whole world. Tpriffs, the gold standard, foreign exchange and debts, arbitrage--gold brings tbem all into the picture of International' relations. Much Disappear* "Only about half of the wbfldfs gold production since the discovery of America/can now be definitely located. "Since 141)2 the world has mined ?22,413,757,117, as officially reported. Of this, about 80 per cent has been produced since 18tf0. "Itut today the world's nations hold, as monetary gold stock, only about $11,940,000,000. "The missing ten billions or more went, much of it, Just as in olden times. In 1931, for instance, of, roughly, $49,000,000 of gold mined in the United States alohe, about,$29,000,000 was consumed in Industry. In America today, it is the gold-beaters and the dentists who eliminate much gold from circulation. "Europe's gold when Columbus first sailed westward-amounted to less than some present-day family fortunes. Fart of this Europe had mined, part she had plundered from other lands. Some of her gold so gained was drained off in trade to India and the Orient. "India, in time, became the workUs greatest gold hoarder! 'The treasure sink of the world,' she has been called. Just how much gold is still hidden in the secret vaults-of her princes, nobody knows; from 1873 to 1^0, however, the records show that^raTlia Imported about $2,S00,()00,060 in gold. "In the monetary system of the United States the gold dollar, though not now made, is the" unit- of value; it weighs 25.8 grains and is 0.900 fine. "Gold coins of $.i, $10, and $20 are now minted, known as half, eag;les, eagles, and doublfe , eagles. Among workers in the mint, the eagle's picture is always called 'The Goose.' One thousand dollars.of United States gold coin weighs just 3.685 pounds avoirdupois, and at the mint 1 found it, is bar form, an easy handful. Increased Since World War. "Since the World war began the world has swiftly Increased its effective stock of gold. This has, in fact, grown by about $6,800,000,000 or 140 per cent, In the last 19 years. More gold Is being mined^ less has been used recently in the/ trades, and private hoardings are being surrendered in Italia. These are the chief causes of the increase. "Growth in the world's gold since 31922 has been largely due to increased, output In South Africa and Canada. Since 1929, however, our own goldminer yield has slightly increased. All gold mined in the world in 1932 Is estimated now at $460,000,000. "Most of the great gold strikes, say mining engineers, have probably been Jnade. The world has been more thoroughly prospected for gold than for any other metal. It may be vain, then, to hope tor another series of gold finds as rich as was Cripple Creek, the Lena, the Rand, or the Klondike. "Yet from year to year gold strike* of varying Importance are constantly recorded. Exciting tales of rich strikes, of dazzling fortunes exposed by one lucky stroke of the pick, th® spirit of adventure and romance that clings to the gold hunter's career, leave man Indefatigable in his search." .a H« Had Good T*«th Wife--But I enclosed a small file la that last pie I sent you, Bert.

Title could be given to all but the 3.5-lnch strip. ~ A friendly suit to quiet title has been filed by Joseph Latapie against Irene Holbrook and any other persons who may have claim to the tiny strip.
