THE GOLD SUPPLY AND
COMMODITY PRICES

The director Of the mint in COM
menting on his own preliminary fig
ures Of the gold production Of 1910,
which are s10,0o0,Ooo under other
and probably were reliable estimates,
declares ''the possibility of any en-
barrassing over-supply of gold, and
the attendant rise in prices predicted
by the economists, has been passed. !"
Some people think that we have al
ready had an embarrassing over sup
ply of glod since 1900, and that most
of our present financial and political
rise in prices" In 1880 the output
of gold was $11S,S4s.O0O. In 1906 it
was s254,576.0oo. In 1910 it was at
least $46O,0O0,000. Approximately
$36O,OOO,O00 year of gold is now
added to the worlds supply of money
against from s5O,oO0,00O to $75,OOO,-
600 a year previous to 1S9. If this
annual increment of monetary gold
should decline to quadruple what it
was In 1890 there would be some justi-
fication for the remarks of the Direc-
tor of the Mint.
Even if the worlds output Of gold
should remain stationary it is prob
able that commodity prices would
continue to rise for at least five years.
The Mississippi river does not cease
to rise when the rain fall ceases to
increase to fall. Likewise, we NAV
expect the price level to continue to
advance after the worlds output of
gold begins to decline materially.
AS a matter of fact, it is highly
probable not only that prices viii
continue to rise, but that the gold
output will continue to increase for
at least another decide.-Byron w.
Holt, in Moody's Magazine.

A gay gathering numbering over z;
couples undeterred by the unfavorable

Speidel's orchestra. while between the
numbers the musical inspiration was
furnished by Bentley's stringed or
chestra.
The cotillion march led by Miss
Grace Sheridan and Mr.. Poland, fol-
lowed by Miss Beers of South Nor

started at 8 O'Clock. 1t was past
midnight when the strains of the
Home, Sweet Home, waltz were
heard. During quite a few of the
dance numbers. all lights were dim

'The idea Of elements has been com
pletely destroyed by Ramsay's discov-
cry that copper, hitherto supposed to
be an elemental substance, could be,
resolved by radium into two separate
substances. Physicists hold the the
Dry that all matter is slowly decom-
posing, but in most cases so slowly
that it is difficult to watch the decom-
position. Ramsay used radium as an
explosive, to dynamite copper into
other things. It decomposes other
substances so rapidly that it sets free
a tremendous amount of energy. In
this fact lies one great expectation
of the scientific world.
"This property Of radium guarantees
to the world a source of energy that
surpasses anything that can be sup
piled by the combustion Of coal or by
any kind Of chemical action-more
than a million times surpasses it.
Some men of great imaginative power
have described situation when, de-
prived of its sources of heat and enr-
ergy, the human race will gradually
die out from cold and when on the
earth's surface will obtain conditions
similar to those on the face of the
moon. Thus scientists are confront
ed by the problem or unlocking the
energy contained in the atom, and
which becomes free upon the decom-
position Of the latter, as in all radio
active processes.
"As for radium itself, you can
weigh the same portion ten years af-
ter you have first weighted it and it's
loss will be infinitesimal. Yet the
energy set free is such that radium
itself is constantly several degrees
above the average temperature. Now
if we succeed in exploding the atoms
ergy we want
I consider this problem of supply
ing mankind with heat and energy
the most important that can be consid-
cred. and it is problem that can be
considered and it is problem of ac-
tuality. If it is solved in the line
begun by Ramsay, what need have we
for coal? There is no doubt that
the world has learned more about
physics and chemistry in the nine
years since radium was discovered
than it had learned in the thousand
years before. For one thing it learn
ed that most of what it had learned
hitherto has been based upon a mis-
conception, and radium has helped
scientists to get nearer the truth.
"I believe the time will come when
radium will be supplying the energy
and heat that are now being obtained
from ordinary fuel and more, and
there are many scientists who are
working to help bring that about"

WHITC0MB
OBJECTS TO
KING INCREASE

By vote of three to one, Joseph
Whitcomb, dissenting, the board of
Health voted, last night, to pay John
T. King, collector of the city garbage
81 per ton for the collection and bur-
ial of the refuse, instead of the con-
tract price of SO cents, while garbage
is being buried in trenches in the
Lakeview home farm. This action
follows a communication from Mr..
King to the effect that he could not
afford to continue the delivery of gar
bage and it's burial under the present
conditions at the old price of so cents.
Commissioner Whitcomb was emphatic
in his objection to pay the increased
price, terming the demand ridiculous
and declaring it was an injustice up
on the taxpayers. Mr.. King recently
commun: Gated with the board notify
ing it that the price must be doubled
because of the longer haul bad condi-
ton of the roads, and additional la
Dor. He contracted for the delivery Of
the garbage to the plant of the By
Products Co., but the recent discon-
tinnuance of the plant, owing to the
refusal of the Bridgeport By-Products
Co. to continue it's contract, led to the
necessity of burying the garbage. Com
missioner Whitcomb showed that he
proposes to closely scrutinize the adj
ministration of affairs of the depart
ment by his attitude on other bills
that came before the board for consid-
Grafton. Two of them were referred
to DR.. G. W. Osborn, the president.
and Commissioner Whitcomb for in-
vestigation. They were bills for D$44
and $50 respectively for insurance on
the Isolation Hospital. worth $4,000
and the slaughter house, worth $4,000.
Commissioner Bogart and Commission
er Whitcomb clashed over the payment
of the bills. In their controversy,
Commissioner Whitcomb, one Of the
new appointees declared he proposed
to see that the city's business is ad-
ministered as economically as private
business affairs. He objected to pay
ment Of bill for $3.50 for livery, car
riage hire incurred by Commissioner
Bogart during a visit to the slaugh-
ter house. A tilt arose over the work
of the supply committee, of which Mr..
Bogart is the active member, but it
closed with the understanding that the
entire board will scrutinize the bills.
The board accepted Charles C..
Fischer's $4,000 bond to guarantee his
fulfillment of the garbage contract.
DR.. Osborn announced that DR.. Zones
and % other dentists had agreed to
care for the teeth of two children
each. DR.. Sherman and instructor
Went were appointed to select the
candidates

MAY AMALGAMATE CLUBS.
Three Local Racing Pigeon Clubs
MAY Be United in One.

A movement is on foot to amalgaulate
the three racing pigeon clubs Of WASH
ington. having for its object great reduc-
ton in individual expenses and the crea-
ton Of a big prize fund Of not less than
800 in 1913. The promoters Of the enter
prise have shown the clubs the fallacy Of
all expenses being paid in triplicate. in
asmuch as one expense would suffice.
There are upwards of from forty to
fifty fanciers affiEated with the clubs In
the National Capital. and q like number
who await some inducement to join an or
ganisation. With forty members paying no
more than the present dues into one organ
ization to be managed along the lines OUT
lined. not less than 800 would be approprts
only a six-bird loft entry. which not only
greatly reduces actual flying expenseA
but will prevent the inevitable WAterioo0
which are generally experienced At leaA4
once year, as never more than one.
third or one-half Of a members racing
team will be on tho wing at the same
time. In addition to the races there viii
be training flights from distances up to
500 miles. for which the record will be
given.
There may be only one drawback to the
proposed amalgamation, and with the
splendid prospects in view this is hoped
to be overcome. No fancier either in
Washington or on the Atlantic coast but
who will admit that the mountainous
course raced by the Washington racing
pigeon is the best test to which a rae
ing pigeon has ever been gagged. A fear
Of the heavy losses which the course en-
tails to birds of mediocre quality and
Lack Of condition has kept the timid own
er from adopting the ideal route.
However. 1t seems only logical that
bird OF real merit should be entitled to
the rich prizes which are to be competed
for in 1913. Racing pigeons which over
come all obstacles do not come home with
''the BUNCH" but home on their own in
tuition. and not winners Of mere bobbing
matches. In other words where races
are won by seconds it is purely a matter
Of luck-loft position. wind and quick en-
trance to the loft are of more import
than actual merit.
At a meeting to be held this evening at
7b1 9Th street southeast all racing pig
con fanciers are invited, and II is hoped
that arrangements can be completed for
the amalagamation before the coming
young bird races. in order that $50 may
be appropriated for prizes for these
events.
