sidelights respecting Gen. Rafael

Leonides Trujillo, the President of the

1 republic. Trujillo began life aa a

private in the constabulary forces

in the island, long operated by the

United States Marines; rose to be

captain of it, and is now running the

country in the thoroughly efficient,

if somewhat hard-boiled, fashion of

a marine. Trujillo's first act when he

took office was to take away from all

the members of the Dominican House

and Senate their free government

automobiles; his next act to drop 500

supernumeraries off the official pay

roll. The depression in Santo Dom

ingo cut the state's revenue in half—

from $15,000,000 to $7,000,000, and

Trujillo found an empty treasury. But

now, thanks to Trujillo and to the

advice of his financial adviser, the

republic has a balanced budget and

is sweet, sanitary and safe.

The historic United States mint at

San Francisco is now antiquated and

to all intents and purposes obsolete.

It might have gone on and on in

genteel decay but for the fact that

with the rise in the paper money price

of gold and the resultant boom in

gold mining and boom in the gold

melting pots for gold teeth and wed

ding rings the Government mints

have had a new lease on life. And

the San Francisco mint physically

has been quite unequal to the strain.

This mint's gold hoard is being shifted

to the Denver mint and funds have

been allotted and plans are afoot

for the construction of a brand-new,

up-to-date mint in the city of the

Golden Gate.
