That is the official value of each dol lar you earn and spend. Just what "value" means remains to be demon Btrated. One New York banker fig ures out that with gold up and the dollar down, the "bank credit" of- the United States could" be expanded to about "three hundred thousand mil lion dollars." That seems a good deal of money, If It be real money, or Is there any real money? The fact Is that we have something more than seven thousand million dollars in gold, after raising the "value" of gold from about twen ty to thirty-flve dollars an ounce. IIow that much gold can be spread out to cover $300,000,000,000 would puzzle a gold beater ' "With a humble and thankful heart" President Roosevelt tells the nation listening on the radio that he accepts the large sum raised to help poor chil dren suffering from Infantile paraly sis.

David Livingstone will he honored soon by a bronze statue to be erected in Victoria Falls l'ark, Southern Rhodesia, beside the great waterfall which he discovered in 1855. The noted explorer and missionary Is depicted with cane In one hand, Bible in the other, and field glasses at his side. The statue will be placed so that it constantly will be bathed with mist and spray from the roaring waterfall b"low. "Victoria falls is the most famous scenic attraction and one of the most unusual geographical features of the continent of Africa," says a bulletin from the National Geographic so ciety. "Geographers consider It one of the three greatest waterfalls In the world, rivaled only by Niagara in North America and Iguazu in South America. Although a score of other waterfalls excel it in height, Vic toria possesses many aspects which at once set it apart. Lacks Majesty of Niagara. "From Immemorial times an atmos phere of mystery and superstition has hung over these African fnlls. Liv ingston had the greatest difficulty In persuading his followers to accom pany him, as they believed the region to be the home of monsters and devils of destruction. Vestiges of these tra ditions still exist, although the Cape to-Calro railroad, which crosses the river less than half a mile below the falls, is rapidly dispelling them. "Notwithstanding the magnitude of Victoria falls, the first view of them Is disappointing. Although they are nearly a mile In width and 400 feet in height, the grandeur of their propor tions is eclipsed by the sudden dis appearance of the river, as it plunges into n narrow, rocky fissure extending across its entire width. Only at a single central point Is there a breach in this fissure through which the falls can be seen and appreciated in their full proportions, where the converg lng waters rush madly to the zigzag canyon below. "So restricted is this view that there is an entire absence of that awe inspiring and almost paralyzing effect which strikes the visitor dumb with wonder and amazement when Niagara Huge Quantities of Gas Wasted in Texas Fields Houston, Texas. ?

"No single visit can adequately re veal the fullness of their charm, but | ropeuted excursions must be made to their Islands and precipices, their grottos and palm gardens, their rain forests and projecting craps, their rainbows and cataracts and many sided views of their exquisite setting In the emerald framework of tropic forests, before their beauty can be appreciated. The fascination of dis covering new nnd hidden charms from different points of view grows on the visitor and becomes one of Its great est attractions. "As the rainy season commences In Right of Teacher to Paddle Upheld Lancaster, Pa. ? The right of a school teacher to administer an old-fashioned paddling to unruly students was upheld recently by a Jury In Quarter Sessions court when It acquitted Mrs. Ruth Weit zel, a country school teacher, of charges of spanking twelve-year old John NVasserleln. Hie youngster testified from thp stand that the teacher "broke a paddle on me and bounced me up and down on the chair, hard." Then schoolmates also testified. John was said to have become in volved in a light when he attempt ed to separate two other youths who were fighting. In charging the Jury, Judge Ben jamin C. Atless said: "I am still one of the old-fash ioned kind who believes that pad dling is necessary." Rhodesia In November and continues In the form of tropical showers until April, the best time to see the falls Is In May. when the seething torrents are at their flood. November also has Its attractions, when the river is low, for then the chasm Is comparatively free from mist, disclosing vistas and views of the great abyss of rare beauty, which before were wholly ob scured by the whirling columns of spray. "The bridge of the Cape-to-Cnlro railroad Is the favorite point selected by artists, as the picture through the narrow gap at Hanger Point exhibits the full extent of the angry waters as they leap from the precipices to i the abyss below. "There is a hotel near the railway. From its verandas an observer can behold a magnificent panorama of the cunyon and IJatoka gorge. A walk j of half a mile brings one to the 'place j where the rain Is born,' as the na- , tlves call the Rain forest. This Is a | phenomenon of rare bounty and in- | terest, especially to the botanist, for ' here the tropic heat and constantly i falling spray produce a wealth of , vegetation of wonderful luxuriance ! and variety. "Hut the most thrilling scene Is ; from the eastern extremity of the I Rain forest at Danger point, where the treacherous vines and grasses, clinging to the rocks with hungry, des perate roots, tempt one to the very verge of the precipitate cliffs that seem to tremble with the terrific ( shock of the cataract. So dense here j at times Is the mass of vapor hurled from the seething cauldron that the sun'B rays can no longer penetrate It, and complete darkness envelops one as he Is deluged by the downpour, while the terrific thunder of the falls drbwns all other sounds and makes his own voice Inaudible." One Failure Laid to Scotland Yard Only XS Record for 1933 Shows but One Crime Unsolved. London. ? Scotland Ynrd hnd only one unsolved murder during 1933, n year which In all probability will be recorded as the most memorable In the history of the Metropolitan police force. Although the policies of Lord Tren chard, commissioner of police, have been violently assailed and ridiculed In the press and by caricaturists, progress has been made with his unique schemes of reorganization. The year saw the beginning of what will prove to be a complete reor ganization of the whole Scotland Yard's administration. But what has been of more interna tional importance is Its Initiation of plans for closer co-operation between BEST GIRL PLAYER 1 1 oro In America's ranking girl ton nlH player, MIrs Itonnle Miller of Hov orly Hills, Calif.

For the first time In history Scot land Yard officers dew to Amsterdam ! to meet and co-operate with officers from Belgium, France and Germany, and In so doing brought to Justice a clever gang of International thieves. The success of the Idea was not confined to forgers. The whole rami fication of international crime was dis cussed, and a "working arrangement," In code, of course, was established, which provides the different police forces with n complete Itinerary of International jewel thieves. Throughout the year there were 21 murders, 15 of them occurring In the first half of the year. Eleven other cases were thowe of murder and suicide. The remainder were mainly the murders of children, which aroused Intense public feeling. On one or two occasions durlnh the year gunmen made their appearance, but Ihelr careers were brief and their sentences long, one receiving 14 years' penal servitude for shooting at a po liceman. Apart from actual crime, the great est Interest was In the alterations that took place within the force Itself. Lord Trencliard continued the work begun by Lord Hyng of "cleaning" the force, and during the year many offi cers, some of high rank, were dls. miss' 1 from the force. Scientist Seeks Snake Venom for Cancer Cu*-e Itnmhay. ? A French scientist, Robert Hemardlnquer has arrived here with tm unenviable task to perform. Ffe wants to collect a kilogram ? roughly Just over two pounds ? of ?nake venom. Kxperlments in the Pasteur Institute In Paris have led HclentlstH to hope that siuike venom may be used suc cessfully In treatment of cancer. The poison, mixed with other drugs, Is Injected Into the Infected part. Aa yet, Investigations are In the experi mental stage, and more venom Is need ed to continue the work.

Church of Historic Memory St. Peter's, Bermuda, Oldest English House of Worship in America, Has Associations Dear to the Hearts of American People. St. Peter's parish church, in Ber muda, is the oldest English church in America. It was In this church that the beautiful Nea of Tom Moore's poems was married In 1803, one of her sons later becoming rec tor of the church. Nea was Hester Louisa Tucker and became the wife of William Tucker. Marrying a man of her own surname brought no 111 j to her, thus frustrating the old su perstition. Several months after her mar riage, Tom Moore, the Irish poet, arrived in Bermuda as registrar of the admiralty court there. St. George's at that time being the most heavily fortified position In the west ern hemisphere. Moore met Mrs. Tucker, who was only "sixteen, at | a ball given In his honor by Gover- ; nor and Mrs. Mitchell In the gov- [ ernor's palatial home. He was Im mediately smitten with the beauty ! of t lie young lady and did not hesl- j tate to tell her ho. "Believe Me If j All Those Endearing Young Charms," still one of the world's best loved songs, was written about her by the young Irishman, and one Sunday | morning In old St. Peter's they both remained in the clitirch after the conclusion of the service and Moore went to the organ and sang his neu song to young Mrs. Tucker. At the time the Tuckers lived In the "Alley of Limes," as Moore called It. The narrow street is now called Cumberland lane. The ruins of the old Tucker house are less than five minutes walk from St. Peter's church. Rev. Alexander Richardson was the pastor of the church during the Tom Moore-Xea romance, which was | no more than the admiration of a j poet for a beauty who filled him with 1 poetic inspiration and the pride and satisfaction of a young woman who was singled out for fame by a man who had already achieved it. Reverend Mr. Richardson was a picturesque figure in St. George's, which is more Spanish than Eng lish In appearance. He was pastor of St. Peter's, with the exception of a lapse of five years, from 17,r>r> to 180r>, quitting In 1772 because his salary was Ave years In arrears, but returning In 1778 '.pon the payment of all arrears to him. Dr. It. I.. Tuck er, son of Nea Tucker, was pastor from 1830 to 1SGS. Part of the communion service of St. Peter's dates from lG2f>. The large chalice, the flagons and the paten, were the gifts of William 111, In 1007. The font was brought there In 178*2, but dates back to 1550. The three candelabra are among the most beautiful furnishings of the church. The one near the altar was Installed In 1817. The one to the left was found by the present pastor among discarded material in the bel fry. The third, hung in the nave, once diffused its light In the old gov ernment house. The altar and altar rail are of hewn cedar, built by the colony's first governor, Richard Moore, who was a ship's carpenter. They are as old as the oldest portion of the church. The weather vane, which top. the clock steeple, once showed how the wind blew on the premises of Wil liam Pitt, famous British statesman. In the cemetery surrounding the church on three sides are many In teresting tombs. One holds the re mains of an American warrior, Rich ard Sutherland Dale, son of Com modore Richard Dale of Philadel phia, who was wounded in the en gagement between the United States frigate President and a squadron of Rritish shifts on January 1;", 1Sir>. The stone "records the tribute of his parents' gratitude to -those In habitants of St. George's whose gen erous and tender sympathy prompt ed the kindest attentions to their son while living and honored him when dead." To thp right of the church stands the William Tucker tomb, which con tains the remains of the once beau tiful Nea, known In her youth as the "Rose of the Isles." Read the "Ads'7 but don't ignore medical opinion if you want to -relieve constipation gently and safely -take the exact dose suited to your need -avoid danger of bowel strain A doctor will tell you that the care less use of harsh laxatives will often do more harm than good. Harsh laxatives often drain the system, weaken the bowel muscles, and even affect the liver and kidneys. Fortunately, the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Can Constipation be safely relieved? "Yes!" say medical men. "Yes!" say. thousands who have followed this sensible medical advice: 1. Select a good liquid laxative. 2 Take the dose that you find suited to your system. 3. Gradually reduce the dose until bowels are moving regularly without assistance. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a prescriptional preparation contain ing senna, a natural vegetable laxa tive which relieves constipation gently and safely. Why not try it? Some pill or tablet may be more convenient to carry. But there is no "convenience" in any cathartic that's taken bo frequently, you must carry it wherever you go! What is the "Rifcht" Laxative? In buying any laxative, rrad the. label. Not the claims, but the contents. If it contains doubtful drugs, don't take it. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin contains no mineral drugs. By using it, you avoid danger of strain. How many dimes and quarters are spent on "popular" laxatives! How quickly they count up, if you frequently use habit-forming helps! A bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin would Rave you money ? and bring you real relief. Why Doctors give a Hquid laxatlvo The hnhitunl use of harsh salts, or powerful drugs in the highly concent rated form of pills or tablets is risky. The properly prepared liquid laxative will bring n perfect movement without discomfort or injury. You need not take a "double dose" a day or two later.
