a Thorough Examination to Be
Made at Once.

Not Intended as "a Criticism OF the Work
of the Construction Department, But
as n Guarantee That No Point of
Safety BE Notwithstanding of the
National Commissioners.
CHICAGO, Sept. 10.-A local paper
says:
AT secret meeting of the board of
control oft he worlds Columbian exposi-
ton, held after the national commission
had adjourned, the following resolution,
In substance, was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED That the director general be
instructed to petition the secretary of war
of the Ulhtod States government to detail
two competent and skilled engineers--one
from the army and one from the navy--to
examine and report upon the strength Of
the foundation and superstructure of tho
various worlds fair buildings now in
course of construction.
While the proceedings Of the meeting
were intended to be kept secret, the fact
leaked out that the enational commission,
while not making public inquiry DUR
ing the session which closed Tuesday,
had resolved upon thorough investiga-
ton of the buildings being being erected
at jackson park. The act Of the build
ings and grounds committee few days
ago in enlarging the manufacturing and
liberal arts Building and adding great
annexes to machinery hall, all of which
had been published, aroused public at
tention.
Then the action Of the construction
department in suspending work on the
woman's building, the mines and mining
building and one or two other structures
until the foundations had been strength
ened intensified the feeling.
Monday night the ground and build
ing committee held one Of its usual ex-
ecutive meetings, and authorized the
chief of construction to enlarge and
strengthen the foundation of the big
manufactures and liberal arts building,
which covers thirty acres of ground to
meet the increased strain upon 1t, caused
by the recent changes in the super
structure. All these facts rendered the
action taken Tuesday evening by the
board of control, which represents the
federal government as well as the local
directory imperative.
Not Criticism.
One Of the commissioners said that tho
resolution implied no criticism of the
work of construction department, but
the national commission. as representa-
tive of the federal government and
various states, wished to make sure be-
yond q doubt that no point Of safety
was being overlooked.

Arsenical Poisoning.

Many green goods are dangerous. A
young city man is doomed to wear eye
glasses all his life by having manipu-
lated opera house tickets of green
hue, and then rubbed his eyes in amaze
ment at the way in which the public
paid the prices demanded. The green
that was upon the pasteboards and
tinted his hands got into his optics,
weakening them forever. A lady brought
to dressmaker a pattern having green
shade.
The seamstress worked very hard and
long upon it; her eyes became tired and
ached; she rubbed the left one often, the
result being that it was inflamed and
poisoned. But she kept at work, put a
shade over it, this having the effect of
straining and weakening the other eye,
until she became nearly blind. Both
cases are probably due to arsenical
poisoning. Instances have been men,
toned where members of households
were poisoned by the green in fancy
printed labels upon canned goods and in
wall paper. 1t would seem better to dis
card such shades of printed matter, wall
paper, dress patterns, and opera house
tickets, even though fashion suggest
them, than to run such risks.

The silver Dollar.

The story goes that the head of Liberty
on the Bland dollar was modelled from
the head of a fair Philadelphian, the
contour of whose features are purely
Grecian. Before the pattern was finally
decided upon, George Morgan, the en-
graver, sent it to the academy to get the
opinion of some artists as to its artistic
merits. The profile was criticised in
several particulars. chief among which
was regarded as too prominent chin
But the authorities at the mint thought
it one of the most beautiful types OF
faces that was ever submitted for the
head Of coin, and it was adopted. Mr..
Morgan, by the way, is an Englishman,
and some people insist that he has man
aged to declare his origin in the "Bland"
dollar. By holding the coin with the
date uppermost, and covering the figure
with the finger on line across the eye to
the hair, the profits develops likeness
of King George, the chin being his nose.
Holding the coin in the same position,
and covering the medallion ON line
from the chin to thu base of the cap, the
curl of the hair de, s,ops lion with its
nose facing left.

The Spirit of Eight Hours.

The position taken by the legislative
committee of the Washington Fedora
ton of Labor to Senator Plumb is
sound. Neither superintendent nor
workingmen should be permitted to vio-
late the spirit of the eight hour move
ment.
The committee take strong ground
against the practice of permitting work
men to work overtime and draw pay
therefor, and say that if this idea of per-
uniting favored workmen to get the
most of the work and the pay is to pre-
vail the whole law might as well be re-
pealed. The point of their argument is
this, that unless the eight hour system is
acted upon in its true spirit and the
workers limited to eight hours the pur-
pose of the law fails. The opportuni-
ties for intellectual and physical improve
ment are not afforded; the chances OF
employment for a larger number of men
do not follow. and there is no standard
or example set by the government which
might exert a moral influence over the
general conditions of employment
throughout the country.
The committee make the further point
that the necessity for reduction of the
hours of labor in all departments of in
dustry is now more urgent than ever be-
fore. The increased introduction of labor
saving machinery which, in the single
state of Massachusetts, is estimated to
equal the labor of 100, 900, 900 men, and
the constant pressure Of immigration
from all parts of the world have thrown
great numbers out of employment and
reduced wages in many instances.

the hearts Of our American bellies over
their coming. They are exquisite
dressers. and their costumes will be
maryels Of curiosity. Unlike most
ladies, they know exactly what is suited
to them. Some time ago they sent for
the chief designer OF the Paris house Of
The Nep York and Paris Young

forty costumes each. the cost Of which
will amount to thousands of pounds.

whole stock then existing, and after
this amount $3.50, 100000 was gold.
This raised the percentage of gold to
silver from thirty to about fifty per
cent Of the whole stock of both metals,
and that is now about the relative
amount of each, according to the best
authorities. With these facts in mind
it is not difficult to divine the philos
opby and utility of double Standard
viz. that rise 10 the value Of money,
caused by using only one metal IS the
legal standard of values, must produce
general fall in the price Of all com.
Notwithstanding silver--which
wor Id be the greatest evil which could
befall the world, and has in the las
fifteen years produced more misery than
war, famine or pestilence, which are
temporary evils, while the other is CON
tinuous aud increasing in intensity as
populations increase. Under a double
standard no such result could occur
except by the concurrent rise Of both
metals, which could not happen until
the production Of both was insufficient
to steady prices of commodities, and
then only in limited degree.
According to Jcrons-a distinguished
authority-ths purchasing power OF
money increased 145 per cent from
1909 with limited production Of both
metals and increasing demands for
money! until 1919, when the California
gold fields were opened, and after the
full effect Of the output of gold in 1865
it had only decreased fifteen per cent,
showing most ewphatically very de-
ficient supply Of money, far beyond the
power Of the new gold to fill. The
effect of the increase of money by the
great California gold output on the
commerce of Great Britain, France AMI
the United States was marvellous, dem
onstrating the tenefcent results OF that
new supply Of money, as shown BY the
following table of statistics. For
decades ending:

In 1874 they increased by nearly 10 per

Another fact in point is that for 10
years before England adopted the gold
standard her commerce increased fifty
per cent and her revenues ITO per cent,
while for Is years after its commerce
increased Only twenty eight per cent
and her revenues fell of th'rfy.two
per cent.
The Government of India in 1916
gave the following good reason for
keeping her minis open for silver while
so many were closed against il:
First-God has risen in value since
March, 1878, the year silver was de-
monetized.
Second-It is not shown that silver
has fallen as compared with comnod-
tiles in general, either 10 London or
India, during the same period; and the
London Economist OF October %, 1878,
said Of this minute: ''As whole, both
its conclusions and reasoning arc

In tho best way he knows how.
Tho vote shows that both Democrats and
Republicans were OF that sensible opinion.
He could not hold together his own party In
his support. and he united the Democracy
to robuke his impertinence. The chief
cause OF his defeat was that he could not
induce Republicans Of the strongest Repub-
