IF GOLD WE'RE CHEAPER.

nonular writer, in a new mover
,o,,.es the central feature of his story
The discovery by some persons WORK
inc in secret of a method OF mahuide-
turing gold, and he makes a represent
tativa of the secret service say 'hat
the work must be stopped, at n cost
oven that of shooting the persons WI"
are engaged in this work. perhaps
some readers will wonde why 'hiS
should be thought necessary. 10 no"
manv persons has it ever occurred
that the discovery of IL way OF manu-
featuring gold cheaply, or the oisc"N-
erv of the metal in guam
titles. would he a calamity he extent
of which would stagger the
,;ono But this is what it Woul
mount to. If gold suddenly became
so plentiful as this prices would soar
in a unheard OF. Money
would be practically without Faiue'
and nobody would know no" m"c'
r. charge for anything. Every prom
issory note. every mortgage every
bond, every promise of any klho ~
nav money would become practlcallE
y~,lueless. Matured life insurance pol
icies would be as so much waste pa
per. Property held under contract
would he paid for at a fraction OF its
real value, the buyer obtaining the
nronerty for almost nothing. and the
seller receiving almost nothing Tor 1t.
Stocks and all other evidences or the
ownership OF property would soar IN
value. Those who had contracted 10
buy would be suddenly cnriched-on
paper, at least, and those who hhd
contracted to sell would he bankrupt.
stock exchanges would be the scenes
of wilder confusion than any "Black
Friday" in history has produced.
Banks would close their doors, for
there would be left for them no stable
foundation on which to base their
business. OF course all this would
be readjusted. Gold would he de-
monetized, and some other basis Of
value would be selected. Business
would he resumed, and the world
would continue to revolve. But mill
ions of people would have received
injuries from which they could never
ecover and it would take years. II
not generations to bring order out OF
the confusion. And all because gold
had become as common as lead.

IAN American motorist went to Ger.

with the German motor ambulances.
As the tourist watched the maneou-
Ners from a seat under a tree the axle
of one of the motor ambulances broke.
Instantly the men leaped out, ran into
the village. returned in a jiffy with a
new axle, fixed it in place with Won
derful skill, and teuffed-teuffed off
again, almost as good as new.
There's efficiency for YOU" said
the American admiringly. There's
German efficiency for you. No matter
what breaks, there's always a stock

"And praising the remarkable in

just witnessed, the tourist returned to

But he couldn't use it. The axle was
missing."-Everybody'sM Magazine.

tract was let to a responsible firm, and
that firm purchased its material, in
Guiding marble, and had it on the
ground. Nobody objected to II part
of the program. But all at once no
tice was served on the contractors
that the marble had been cut by non
union men, and that it could not be
permitted to go into the building. The
contractors protested that they knew
nothing about this. that they had not
been informed that there was any OBJ
lection to the use of this material, or
that there was anything irregular
stone-cutters union were as unyield-
ing as the material in which they
worked, and they said that regardless
of any lack of information on the part
Of the contractors, any attempt to use
the stone would result in the cessation
of all labor on the building. AS a
compromise they said that the thing
could be fixed by permitting union
men to redress h stone, which would
take about a quarter of an inch off it,
and would cost perhaps 100000. AT
this juncture the suggestion was Of
fered that the union men be permit
ted to %sandpaper the inner surfaces Of
the stone, which would preserve the
dignity Of the union. and be much
cheaper. Just how the matter was

Packer Disputes U. S.
Meat Price Table.

Here's the packers view Of the
Government estimate of the cost of
living in Atlanta.
Il do not believe the cost Of meats
is any higher in Atlanta than in any
other city in the United States of the
same size" says F. O. Miller. manager
OF the Atlanta branch OF Swift & Co.
81 am free to say, TOO, that until I
am convinced otherwise. I will cher
'sh the suspicion that the Government
figures as quoted in the table of prices
published Wednesday are wrong in
many instances.
"One thing is correct believe
Boston does pay more for beef than
any other city in the United States.
That is, the average Bostonian pays
more for his sirloin than the average
Chicagoan. The answer is that Bos-
ton now uses, and always has used,
the best grades Of beef obtainable.
Boston uses export beef. the fanciest
stuff killed The pork and beans
metropolis has a reputation among
packers as being the most 'choosey'
market for beef in the world.
How these Government figures
We're compiled is a mystery to me.
You won't catch man who is an
expert on meats saving that sirloin is
so many cents a pound He might
say sides from Fort Worth Of a Ger
tain weight and a certain grade We're
worth so much. On the other hand.
beef from Kansas City or from Chi
cago will cost more, and there are
many grades from each center.
"Atlanta's freight. OF course, gov
erns prices here. There may have
been a time when an average rate
was struck in a sort of haphazard
way and all points we're charged on
that basis Nowadays we compute
the freight on every piece OF beef and
add il to the actual cost of the meat.
So small a difference as cents a
hundred in a freight rate is COM
puted
You may rest assured, though. that
the difference is due mostly to the
grade of beef.
"One grocer buys a pork loin which
VIII cut into small fancy tlOhS. Anu
he sells to a trade which demands
that the account be carried on the
books for month, perhaps three
months Another grocer buys a loin
which cuts into big, heavy chops.
He sells for cash money His meat
costs him less. His expenses are less.
His risk is almost nothing. He can
sell cheaper, Of course
Then comes the Government inves-
tigator In the report. all pork chops
look alike You can't tell thing by
such figures.
4 see Boston is supposed to quote
butter, retail, at 80 cents, and New
York at 81 cents, while Atlanta quotes
40 cents.
THAT can't be right. We sell
world OF fancy table butter. All but
ter prices are computed on the basis
of the Elgin or New York board. The
freight must be added Butter is sold
on the narrowest Of profits. A 1O-Cent
discrepancy between Atlanta, say, and
New York or Boston is impossible
always supposing the stuff to be of
the same grade. Perhaps, like beef
and pork chops, all butter looks alike
