WHAT BECOMES OF
THE GOLD SUPLUS

That the country is absorbing
more gold each year is true, but
the gold is not going into use in
the form Of money. More than a
third Of the total production of
new gold now goes into the arts
and manufactures, or industrial
consumption" as it is technically
termed, says the WASHINGTON Post.
Ten years ago the proportion
put to this use was only about
one-ffth of the total production,
Of SIS, 100000 while last year the
amount was S34, 100000, or
nearly double that of ten years
ago, leaving $62, 100000 for
coinage and other purposes. As
the balance for the first year of
the decade was $50, 900, 900, it is
seen that increased production had
added very little to the amount
available for coinage.
AS fact, $500, 900, 900 worth of
the yellow metal has been diverted
to industrial uses, which accounts
for about the whole excess of the
yield between 1901. when it stood
at $7S,U00,000 and 1919 it, when
had risen to 500, 900, 900. 1t is
claimed o. course, that the diver
sion of the $500, OOO,O 600 mentioned
has added an average of $26, 900,
600 a year to the cost of living, but
on the other hard it might be
urged with equal cogency that
keeping it out of the coinage had
the effect Of keeping the gold
dollar from becoming still
Cheaper"

STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES
VISITS COUNTY INFIRMARY

TO the Honorable County Court oi
! ST. Francois County:
We, the members of the State
| Board of Charities and Corrections
take the liberty to address your
lions and improvements of the st.
Francois County Infirmary.
We wish, first, to commend you
and the people of this county for
the establishment of so good an in
stitution as you have maintained
here for several years. We wish
further to commend you for select
| ing as Superintendent man mani
Testing so intelligent an interest in
his work as your Mr.. T. j Short.
For pauper population the size
of the one In st. Francois county il
is our observation that your work
has been of Il very high standard.
1t was eur pleasure to visit this
| institution on yesterday afternoon
| May 81 aud we wish to make few
recommendations on the basis of
our observations at that time. In
the first place 1t is highly desirable
! that Mr.. and Mrs. Short be prOvid-
ed with an assistant whose duties
would be that of nurse In the in
| stitutiOn. This nurse should he Il
man, AS there are numerous rough
| duties to be performed about the in
| stitution The work is evidently
beyond the capacity of one man to
perform, and there is an unusual
number of bed cases. At the same
time we would call your attention
to the fact that those counties
which are attempting to maintain SO
high class an institution as yours
are providing special nurse EN-
plOyees In the aims houses.
In the second place, we would call
your attention to the matter of en-
larging the Inflrmary. The present
building was erected very economi-
cHlly without considering the mum
Der who probably need to be con
signed there. A county with the
population of st. Francois usually
erects much larger buildings. As
further evidence of this point we
need only call your attention to the
fact that the mems living room is
already being used AS dormitory
for bed patients and that even then
the institution is crowded. A very
feasible plan for two-story addi-
ton, in the rear. was suggested by
your superintendent, and so far as
our brief consideration of this plan
justifies we are inclined to think
that this plan is the most feasible
one. We have often noted one de-
ticiency in the st. Francois County
Infirmary, namely, the need of pro-
viding aims houses with facilities
for negroes who are at present on
the pension list.
In the altered plans Of the build
ing, when the addition IL made, we
wish to emphasize the need of II
special hospital ward, the present
mems living room being restored
to its Origiuel purpose.
Very respectfully submitted,
STATE BOARD OF CHARITIES
AND CORRECTIONS.
