The Yugoslavian National Bank ha.s just bought a bar of home-pro-duced gold for tlie first time. It looks like a bar of laundry soap, weighs about 16 pounds, and is worth 250,000 dinars. One could put four such bars in a satchel and be a millionaire. To the bank it is worth four times its metal value,’ because for every gold, dinar the bank has it can issue four paper dinars.
Telephone users made 15,300,000 calls per week last year in London alone. This is 1,000,000 a week more than in 1932.
