America's Plethora of Gold.?The Hen;ntment of Commerce reports that i since , Columbus discovered* America i about $]8,000.000,000 worth of gold has ! been mined, of which $10,000,000,000, an well as most of the pre-Columbian j stock, has been lost, worn out or used i in the arts. The remaining J8.000.000,- i 000 is money, in circulation or stored j in treasuries and banks. For all prac- ; tical financial purposes this is the i available gold stock of the world. The Federal Reserve Board's weekly ! statement shows that $3,098,300,000 of this gold is in the gold reserve in this country. It is growing fast, though not as fast as last year. There has been a j gain since Jan. 1 of $214,300,000, and ! the present figure is a new record. The ! actual amount of gold coin in the country, including non-active hoards not reportable, is considerably greater. | Even a year ago it was estimated by ' the director of the mint at $3,294,uuu,- 1 000. Xothing is more remarkable in re- \ cent finance than the explosion of the 1 old theory that vast reserves of gold | meant sound and stable conditions in : a country, or necessarily meant pros- ' perity. The two billions of gold lying 1 idle in the I'nited States treasury, be- ; yond their psychological effect in ; quieting the nerves of the uninstruct- | ed, are as useless to industry* as two j million idle men might be.

Bpt I have also seen the city grow up about our establishment, which extended from those few small buildings to its present fine capacity. And a good steady job of creative work is a lot of fun, after nil. isn't it?" The business over which she is executive head was founded by her father, L, S. Woodbury, about 30 years ago.
