The Amusement Question
By DOROTHY DIX

a stomach at peace with itself
and all the world.
Many a case of nervous break
down that comes to a man just
as he has success almost in hand
is wholly and entirely due to his
wife's mania for society. She's
rushed her husband from enter
tainment to entertainment when
he should have been resting and
recuperating at home, and he
simply collapses under the dou-
BILE strain of work and pleasure.
A Wrong View.
So the woman whose love for
her husband does not make her
willing to stay quietly at home
with him of evenings should be
prompted to do so by her inter-
est. If she wants to conserve his
energies and strength and in
crease his money earning power
and hurry him on the way to sue
cess. let her encourage him in
sticking to his own 1reside at
nights instead Of hunting up
amusement on the outside.
There Is no reason why any
woman in these days OF innu-
merable women's clubs, of hen
luncheons, of bridge whist par
ties, of matinees, Of afternoon
tango teas, who can't get all the
diversion that she is entitled to
have in the daytime. She does
not need evening parties to sus-
tain her spirits, in the cases
where her husband doesn't want
to go out after dinner.
OF course, many women, with
a virtuous air, say that they
don't enjoy things so much unless
their husbands are along, and
that therefore they prefer to go

lights and the movement of peo-
pie.
The wife wants a change from
the surroundings and the things
she's been doing all day, just as
the man wants a change from
what he has been doing all day,
and the environment that he has
been in, and the pity of it is that
these two desires are diametrical-
ly opposed to each other. Hence
these Quarrels and reproaches
and tears.
The man complains: My wife
is never satisfied unless she is
gadding about at night.
The woman walls: My husband
Is never willing to take me out
anywhere in the evening.
And both feel that they are very
much misused, and both are right
from their individual standpoint,
and both are utterly and entirely
SelIlSn, because eaCn refuses TO
look at the matter from the 9TH
er's point of view.
Certainly the man who has
been on a terrific strain all day
that taxed body and brain to the
very breaking point is entitled
to a quiet evenings rest at home
in which to build himself up to
meet the strenuous struggle OF
the next day. He needs 1t. What
Is more, he must have it if he is
to hold his own in the fierce COM
petition of modern business life.
No man whose wife drags him
around of evenings to theaters
and the opera and parties and
dances and late suppers where
he eats and drinks too much can
hold his own against the man
who comes to his work with
rested nerves and a brain cleared
with eight hours good sleep and

while at the same time the total
production Of the worlds ether
mines fell to s3oo,ooe, 900, which
was SIC, 900. 900 less than in 1909.
This state OF affairs, MI. Do
Launay AYERS, Is becoming more
strained every year, because
neither in the United StatsA nor
Australia, nor Canada are enough
new discoveries made to conpen-
safe for the gradual exhaustion Of
the old ones. The face Of the
world has been nearly overrun by
the gold seekers, and, except per-

I can not here enter into Mr..
DeLaunay's discussion of the CON
nection between abundance Of
gold and high cost Of living, or Of
the peculiar reasons why at the
present time. when the world 10

the gold supply. prices should
continue to soar. for all that
would demand an article by itset
But there are one or two other,
facts which he brings out that are
well worth knowing and storing
away in tho memory.
For instance. It is very inter
esting to lie told what proportion
Of the total annual supply Of gold
is turned aside from the money
vaults OF the great nations, and
used up in the arts of decora-
ton and personal display. for
jewelry, watches. etc. This ac-
cording to Mr.. DeLaunay,
amounts to from rs to 80 per
cent, or something more than
one-quarter Of the whole. Al
luxurious tastes spread. the pro
portion becomes larger. In an
other article, some time ago,
quoted what a weli-known stat
isucian said Of the annual dis
appearance Of gold in India, which
swallows up many millions that
are never seen in the form OF
money.
Another fact interesting to
know Is that the ratio of the
quantity Of gold held as money to
the paper money credits Of the
world tends to grow smaller
From 1902 to 1919 the total stock
of gold money Increased by about
100000, while the amount
of bank notes, etc, increased

world were suddenly called upon
to pay its debt in gold. 1t couldn't
So 49,

duce-is far greater than all its
gold is capable of representing.

By GARRETT P. SERVISS

n ER. L. DE LAUNAY, profess
wi sor in the School of Mines
and in the School of Roads
and Bridges, Paris, is one of the
worlds greatest authorities on
the subject of gold. He has not,
l believe, acquired any notable
quantity of gold for himself, but
he has accumulated an enormous
amount Of information about gold.
l have reason to think that if a
gold mine were offered to him,
= he would decline the gift, on the
ground that the care of it would
take too much valuable time.
Yet the time that he would
grudge to the work of getting gold
out of the earth he has willingly
devoted to the less patiently prof
table occupation of watching the
gold that others dig, in order to
see what is done with 1t, and
what finally becomes of 1t. Most
people have very little compre-
hension of this devotion to knowl-
edge, and no sympathy with It,
but everybody Is, nevertheless,
interested In its results, and I
venture to spread out some of
these results here, as 1 have gath
cred them from recent publica-
tons Of Mr.. De Laumay.
Perhaps only a mind of a GER
tain grain can really regard
knowledge as better than pelf, but
all will confess that the next most
pleasing thing to possessing a
great deal of gold ones self Is
knowing what others who do pos
sess it do with it, and what the
chances are that, as time goes
on, the world will have more or
less of 1t to be distributed among
its inhabitants.
Known Facts.
We all know that as the popu-
lation of the earth increases, and
the different peoples composing
it adopt more and more a COM
mon manner of life, which for
many of them means more luxu-
rious ways of living, the demand
for gold (the universal standard
of value) continually grows great
er. But many may be surprised
to learn that outside of the Trans
vaal the production of the gold
mines Is falling off so that as Mr..
De Launay puts 1t "the entire
world Is becoming more and more
dependent upon that little aurif-
erous -producing) corner of
it, the Witwatersrand."
Mr.. De Launay shows that tho
fact that the gold deposits Of the
world are being exhausted with
out new ones being discovered in
sufficient number to keep up the
rate Of supply has been obscured
by the immense productiveness of
South African mines which serv-
ed to mask the relative failure of
those in other parts Of the world.
Thus the annual production be-
came four and a half times az
great in 1910 as 1t had been in
1890, but 1t was the Witwaters-
rand which was chiefly RESPONSE
BILE for the increased total. In
1912 that favored spot of the
earth produced almost 40 per
cent of the nearly S5o0.o00,00

Former Lakeland
Lad Disappears
From Plant City

The friends of the Hostetter fam
lily, who now live at Plant City,
will regret to learn of thc sudden
disappearance of their oldest son,
Verden. Of the matter the Plant
City correspondent to the Tampa
Times says:
"Verden Hostetter, aged thirteen
years, son of Mr.. Hostetter of this
city, has been missing since seven
o'clock yesterday morning. Verden
and his brother, Everett, have been
in the habit of selling newspapers
about the city early in the morning
and returning home before school
time. Verden failed to return yes
terday, and when he did not appear
at either session of school his par
ents became anxious and sent his
brother Everett to notify Marshal
Vestel.
"The missing boy is thirteen years
of age; measures four feet, two and
one-hclf inches in height; has a
very pale, sallow complexion and big
brown eyes. Anyone seeing such a
boy will relieve the anxiety of his
parents by notifying Marshal YES
tel of the Plant City police"
