OUR GOLD STOCK
GROWN VASTLY
Gold imports into the United
States in the fiscal year just ended
aggregate in round terms $650,000,000
or more than in any year except
"1917, when they aggregated $977,000,000.
The beginning of the war period
says a statement by The National
'City Bank of New York, saw a flood
.of gold pouring into the United
[/ States from Eurpoe which found her
stores of the yellow mqtal the quickest
means of paying for the supplies
which she must have from us, and
the quantity of gold entering the
United States in the fiscal year 1915,
the first full year of war, was $172,000,000
or more than in any earlier
year in the history of the country.
But that was only the beginning of
the gold flood, for in 1916 the total of
gold imports was $494,000,000 and
that of 1917 $977,000,000. Then we
began to -loan the Allies the funds
from which to make their purchases
in the United States and in 1918 the
??|,1 I.. 11 < _ cl> 1 or Ann -1
imjjui icii to ^i6u,wu,uuu, aim i
those of 1911) to $(>2,000,000. Butj
'with the cessation of our loans to Europe,
gold began to come again and
Avin $150,000,000 in the fiscal vear
1!)20 and $050,000,000 in the fiscal
year 1021, just named.
In fact the quantity of gold' imported
into the United States since
the beginning of the war is more
than half that imported during the
entire century since the records of
gold importations began. The very
earliest, official record of gold imports
began in 1821, and we have
thus at the end of the fiscal year
1921 a record of the full century's
imports of the yellow metal; the
amount imported from 1821 to the
end of the fiscal year 11)14 having
been $2,38(5,0*00,000, and from 11)14
to the end of the fiscal year 11)21
$2,080,000,000, making the grand total
imported during the century $5,010,000,000
of which 52 per cent entered
since the beginning of the war.
Of course, adds the bank's statement,
not all of the $2,030,000,000 of
gold imported since the beginning
of the war has remained with us, for
the gold exports in the same period
'(1914-1921) aggregated $1,435,000,'000,
leaving the net imports (in excess
of exports) for the entire period
1(11,4 Kioi c i Kin nnn nnn < ...Uiln ?iw.
J.M'f l./^L ^1) L i'VJ f WIIIIU llir
*$530,000,000 turned out by our own
mines during that period brings the
total additions to our gold stock since
1914, by importation and domestic
production, up to SI,725,000,000, of
which, however, nearly $300,000,000
has been used for industrial and scientific
purposes, leaving the net additions,
since 1914, to our gold available
for currency purposes about $1,350,000,000.
It is not surprising then
that the circulation statement of the
treasury department shows the total
stock of gold in the United States
on June 1, 1921, $3,175,000,000 against
$1,892,000,000 at the beginning of the
war.
What has the remainder of the
-world d9ne about gold for monetary
purposes meantime? The reports of
the director of the mint showing the
'"approximate stocks of money in the
principal countries of the world "put
the total of gold for all countries for
which statistics were available at $8,240.000,000
at the beginning of 1914
and $8,340,000,000 at the beginning of
1919, though the 1919 tabulation fails
to include figures for certain countries
which are known to have been
at that time about $500,000,000, suggesting
that the total of world's gold
stock at the piesent time is nearly
$9,000,000.000, though only a small
proportion of this is in actual corculalion,
most of it being held in banks
and public treasuries as a basis foi
the enormous paper circulation. ,
Thi> world total of approximately
$9,000,000,000 of gold stock available
for currency seems to add weight tc
the often expressed belief that onl\
about one-half of the world's gold
production passes into coin or be
comes a basis for currency, sincc
the known figures of go!<! productioi
from the discovery of America to the
present time show a grand aggregate
of 18,000,000,000, of which total about
one-half is now recorded as in existence,
either in the fjprm of coin or a:
a basis for circulation. Curiously, too
about one-half of this enormous tota
of $18,000,000,000 produced by th<
mines of the world has * been turnet
out since the famous gold versus silver
campaign of 1896, since the"record:
of world gold production show the to
tal outturn from 1890 to 1921 at $9,
335,000,000 out of a grand total o
$18,115,000,000 from 1492 to 1921.
The share of the United States ii
the existing gold "monetary stock'
of the world has advanced from abou
22 per cent prior to the war to ap
proximately 37 per cent at the pres
*ent time, though this figure as t<
present conditions can only be i
rough approximation owing to thi
difficulty of obtaining late figures fo
certain countries, under the now ex
isting conditions. <

FISH A NUTRITIOUS (
AND APPETIZING FtJOD
' Many families during the war
formed the habit of having two or
three fish days a week and some of j
them have kept it up ever since.
Many others, if they" tried it, wjould
find that the use of more fish adds
pleasant, variety to the meals.
America has as good a fish supply ,
as any country in the world, say food
specialists of the United States De- j
partment of Agriculture, but Ameri- j
cans eat less fish than the people of (
many other countries. For instance, j
in England an average of OS pounds <
o? fish yearly for each person is i
eaten, while here the average is only i
18* pounds. -i
AH told, there are said to be r.bout 1
100 kinds of edible fish available in1
the United States, but most persons !
are familiar with not more than a
dozen. It is a good plan to try new
kinds of fish whenever there is an 1
opportunity and, if they are available !
in the local mal'ket, to suggest to the i
ii i i ? ? ?? - - -
nsnerman mat ne add them to his I
supply. Also, if fresh fish can not be 1
obtained, many kind& of salt, smoked, \
and canned fish can be shipped t>r.y-ji
where at any season of the voar. M
How To'Select A Fresh Fish.
Whenever possible, it is best to go|1
to the market and select fish. A |
fresh fish has full, bright eyes, bright '
red gills, firm flesh and a fresh odor. <
The flesh along the backbone should i
be examined with special care, be- i
jcause that is where a fish spoils first.
I Frozen fish should l>c bought in
that condition and thawed in a cool
j place just before cooking. Much of the
prejudice against frozen 'ish has
come, from the fact that it was thawed
out some time before it was sold.
Fish does not change in flavor and
food value so long as it remains
frozen, but it spoils very quickly after
it is thawed.
Broiled Fish.?Broiling over coals
or under the gas flame until brown
is a favorite way of preparing the
smaller fish. Fresh fish of 1 to 2
pound size, or smoked fish, such as
finnan haddic or white fish, are delicious
served in this way.
Wash the fish, split, season, dot
with fat, place on a greased bro'ler,
and broil until the flakes can be easily
separated. If a gas broiler is used,
place the rack several inches below
the flame in I brown. Sliced lemon
makes an attractive garnish and
gives additional flavor and food
\F!1 I I 1
tuiuvi
Boiled Fish.?Boiled fish is easily
prepared, and, when served with a
well-seasoned sauce, is delicious.
Cook whole or, if too large, cut in
pieces. Cover with boiling salted
water, but do not allow it to
boil rapidly, as hard boiling breaks
the fish. Cook for 10 minutes per
pound. Strong-flavored fish, such as
Carp, is improved by adding a half
cup of vinegar to the cooking water.
Baked fish.?Use the whale fish or
a piece from the middle of a large
one. If desired, stuff with mashed
potatoes, cooked rice, or bread crumbs
well seasoned. Cut gashes down the
back and insert strips of salt pork or
dot with .fat. Dredge with fine corn
and cook till tender, allowing 10 to
12 minutes a pound. Sometimes fish
is4mked in a tomato sauce or in milk
enough to cover the bottom of the
pu II.
Fried Fish.?Small fish may he
fried whole, larger ones should be
cut into pieces suitable for serving.
Roll the fish in corn meal or flour, or
dip it in batter, or in bread crumbs,
| egg, and again in crumbs. Fry in
deep fat, or in a small amount of fat
in a skillet. Fish fried in deep fat
. is less likely to be greasy than when
; fried in a pan.

QUEEN MARY
VISITS SLUMS
As Result Urges Change in
Housing of Londons
Poor People
If the toothsome slums that dis<race
London and other great
British cities are not swept away
luring the next few years and replaced
by dwellings in which the
working class can live. ..in comfort
*nd cleanliness and at ^rentals
within their means, it will certainly
ih* be the fault of King George
md Queen Mary, nor of the heir to
the throne, the Prince of Wales,
says a dispatch to the Baltimore I
Sun.
There is no more 'urgent afterthe-war
question facing Great
liritajn than this one of housing, of
replacing the mean and dingy
hovels and rockeries, in which s#o
large a percentage of the masses of
the population are forced to exist
und for the occupancy of which
Lhey are fleeced by greedy landlords,
by homes in which they can
lake pride. Recent events have
lade it plain that no one realizes
mis more acutely than King George
unci his big hearted sympathetic
and extremly practical-minded consort,
Queen Mary.
The Queen, as a matter of fact
has been the prime mover of late in
bringing the question of better
housing of the working classes t >
the fore ivnd keeping it there and
her lead in this direction is already
being followed in a fashion that is
likely to have important results.
Once the war came to an end, the
strenuous Mayor of Bethnal Green
not tired of waiting till the London
County Council at its leisure got
ready to rebuild his district. With
a view to calling public attention
to the living conditions in Bethnal
Green, he delivered some weeks ago
nn address at the Church of St.
Martin's-in-the-Fields, which is one
of the most famous and historic in
London. This address did not mince
matters as to what had to be done
in Bethnal Green. Luckily for the?
needy dwellers in that region one of
those who read their Mayor's words
was Queen Mary. She read it with
interest that was combined with
horror and, perhaps, some shame. A
few hours after she had finished doing
so Col. Lewis was apprised that
the Queen would be pleased if he
would come to Buckingham Palace
and have a talk with her about the
whole subject of Bethnal Green.
At the end of Col. Lewis' talk the
Queen made a significant observation
which has been widely quoted.
"It is pretty clear to me," she said,
"that when I have visited the poorer
districts I have been taken mainly
to the highways and not to* the
byways."
Convinced that much had previously
been withheld from her, the
Queen, with characteristic promptitude,
determined to examine sorrn
of the "byways" forthwith. There
and then she decided to visit Bethnal
Green and see its very wors
side for herself, and that Col. Lewi,
should be her guide while on thi:
"slumming" trip. A few days latei
she was as good as her Word.
No one in Bethnal except the may
or, the town clerk and the sanitary in
spector of the district, John Foot, tin
.'atter as interesting a character a
the mayor himself, who accomnaniei
the Queen on her tour of inspection
knew that she was coming. At
tended only by one of her ladies-in
waiting, Lady Ampthill, and by th
private secretary, Harry Lloyd Vcj
r.ey, the Queen drove to Hethnii
i Green in a closed car which stoppe
near Rrady stioet, one of the poore.in
the district. There the Queei
who was veiled and dressed in olacl
with a small black toque, got ou

For the next hour and half, guided
by the mayor and two other local
officials, she walked through the
district, insisting 011 seeing the
worst that it had to show. One of
those worst things is Pereira street,
a desolate, dejected, pitiful alley,
which looks as if it suffered from
all the ills that bricks and mortar
are heir to.
Since th?u events have followed
one another with interesting repidity.
One of the first things that the
Queen did after her visit to the i
"byways" was to summon to Buck- I
ingham Palace Dr. Addison, president I
I of the local government board, the ?
jbody that divides with the London
County Council responsibility for the?
well-being of Londoners. The Queen
had a heart-to-heart talk with Dr.
Addison, and, report says, spoke her
mind with complete freedom. The $
president of the local government |
board, no doubt, was able to con- |
vince her Majesty that he was of
their conversation already, for he ?]
has since outlined in the House of \
n - -
vsonimons, a big housing bill for
England and Wales, which represents
part of the government policy t?
of reconstruction and social reform, y
and which has just been published. j
Briefly, this bill divides the countn
i into 11 Housing districts, to each of
j which a housing commissioner is to
,be appointed to faciliate the work
J of the local government board. Already
the schemes submitted involve
(proposals for the erection of 90,000 ?
;houses. This is all to the good, and
lit is highly probable that Dr. Addi- j"
'son was requested by the Queen to
("get on with it," as they say in
England, with all possible expedition
and dispatch.
Meanwhile, as a direct consequence
of the Queen's visit to Bethna'
Green, the 'London County Council
j has got a belated move on. and decided
to begin forthwith the clearance
of the Brady street slums there.
