Professor Fisher of Yale Sees Danger
In the Increase of Gold.

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 3.--Accord-
ing to a prophecy made by Irving
Fisher, professor of political economy
at Yale. to his students. the present
rise in prices in this country is a fore
runner of disastrous panic. He said
I'VE are headed toward financial
and industrial panic. Prices are ris-
ing with amazing rapidity, and the
chief cause is the increase in gold.
Within the past few years the discov-
cry Of gold in Africa, Alaska. Aus
tralia and parts Of the United States
has fairly glutted the market.
I'VE had a small panic in 1907. and
there was quick recovery because of
a timely influx Of still more gold
Present conditions are predication
that another is due in a few years.
One cannot tell just when it will come.
A swift rise in prices is an almost GER
tain forerunner of serious break"

its accompanying Aspiration. The student
opened the bedroom windows in the morning
for ventilation and drew deep breaths, think
ing strongly of Power Clean Air, Refresh
ment. Getting breakfast, she concentrated
on Joyful Service for others, the Upbuildng
of the Bodies, Strength, Nourishment, Re-
newal.
The bed making movements were lovely!
The mattress was lifted lightly above the
head and held a moment, while the student
thought Poise, Grace, Maintained Effort.
Flpping it over, she thought Dexterity;
then a deep breath or two, and Relaxation.
She spread the sheets with Precision, Purity,
Repose, as her motives.
There were even little couplets for certain
vexing tasks, and you realized as you read
that there was no need to don silk boomers
in a gym for the purpose of tossing med-
cine ball in order to timber up and grow
lissome and easy.
Here was the Cure right at home, and, far
fetched as the notion may seem to the I'm
thinking there is the germ of esthetic house
work in nutshell. 1t is the thought we put
into the task that makes it fine or ignoble.
Frying pancake is as grand thing as doing
Red Cross work on a battlefield.
1t is the wonderful intangible spirit that
conquers thrones and lays decaying dynas-
ties low, rather than bomb and battle and
bloodshed. And one day we shall conquer
the Ogre of kitchen work and, girding our
tresses under Grecian bands, and donning
snow white vestments of art such as sculp-
tors wear, we shall march upon the strong
hold of the Monster, singing our songs of
gladness at the wonders of a world that puts
forth its grains and fruits, its honey, grapes,
and wine, to feed and cheer and strengthen
those we love and minister to.
And we shall marvel at the clever minds
and def white hands that have been given
us to perform these miracles of Home!
