talk on his life in the marine training

was still at Mare Island, Lawrence
Oliver, and Howard odell in Cuba,
Howard Paul at Bremerton barracks
and Perry Soth at the Bremerton
powder magazine. Bill is doing guard
duty at the Pacific Coast torpedo sta
ton. After one look no one will dis
pute the statement that life in the
marines is good for man, as Bill has
gained forty pounds in weight and
says the others are just as well
padded.

largely to the mechanical occupations,
the United States will offer to teach
any trade or profession for which the
soldiers are best fitted.
Existing schools and colleges thru
out the country are to be utilized, but
it is expected the technical schools will
be more largely called upon for help.
The policy of the government will be
democratic and the soldiers will have
an opportunity, such as perhaps they
did not have in youth, to enter upon a
commercial, technical or professional
career. There will in all probability
be no time limit upon the men and
certainly no expense.

MONEY AND PRICES

The world is suffering from too
much money. If We accept the explain
alton given by economists, it's excess
OF currency rather than shortage OF
commodities that makes things cost
so much. And figures just published

ume of currency has grown, make the
rise in prices seem small in compari.

According to the London Statist, If
the average price of commodities in
: the year 1900 is represented by the
Index number rs, then prices in 1913
would he represented by s.. and prices
in 1917 by 40. Bradstreet's gives
about the same results The Bureau
OF Labor gives the advance as from
% In 1900 to 81 in 1913 and 1870 in
1877. There is thus substantial
agreement by the worlds leading au
thorlties that prices have slightly
more than double in the last II wears
Turning now to the increase in cur.
rency, we find that the total amount
OF gold money, silver money and un.
covered paper money in the world
has risensfr from $1,000 900 900 in 1900
to Sl36S0000 900 in 1913 and S24.6G0..
100000 in 1917. The volume of actual
currency has thus increased about 80
per cent. since 1913, and has increas.
! ed since 1900 somewhat more propor
tionally than prices have.
But to this actual currency. might
properly be added the increase of ma.
tlonal obligations, because they pass
current among financiers. and are al
ways available for obtaining curren.

$4,000, 100000 in 1900 to s43s40 0oo
in 1913 and $i06 900 900 900 in 1917. II /,
