PAPER MONEY FINANCE

We are continually in receipt Of letters, some of them from bankers, asking if it would not be a good plan for the government to issue several billions of paper money to pay war expenses. These correspondents sug- gest that it would "save interest" in crease the amout of money in circu- lation," increase bank deposits,
 make 1t easier to raise loans," etc., etc. It is strange how persistent are these ideas about the efficiency of flat money, because there never was trial which did not demonstrate that they are fallacies. Money in itself is an instrument of exchange, trade facility; it is not final compensation for anything. The government wants money with which to buy war sup plies and the people who sell the sup plies want money to buy things. The . satisfaction of all these wants de- pends upon production, and that de- bends upon the labor supply, together with efficient organization and equip ment. When the industries are al- ready operating at capacity, the out put cannot be increased by increasing the supply of money. Any further gains must come by improvements in organization, equipment or methods, and by shifting labor from non essen tials to essentials. It befogs and con fuses the whole subject to talk of re- lieving such a situation by printing money. More money or purchasing power in any form can only increase the competition for labor and mater ials, raising costs in terms of money and debt without making any more labor or materials available.
 One of our correspondents expresses the opinion that an additional billion dollars of legal tenders could be read ily floated upon the credit of the gov ernment and on present gold reserves. But what would one billion amount to in expenditures of twenty billions a year? It would be only a begin ning, and once a beginning was made there would be no logical stopping place. Arguments for each additional billion would be as strong as for the first The country would be launch { ed on a sea of paper money and all attempts to maintain parity with gold would have to be abandoned That would put our three billions of gold money practically out of use and this would make more irredeemable paper necessary. The more the letter de- preciated the greater the volume would have to be, in order to make the government purchases and to car " on the buSfness of the country. The cost of the war would be enormous lv increased, as the cost of our civil war was increased by the issue of the greenbacks.

ToDAYs ANNIVERSARY.

The body of Col. Henry Laurens, who died on his plantation near Charleston, S. c 125 years ago to- day, Dec. 8, 1792, was the first to be cremated in America In his will Col. Laurens, who had been a valiant officer in the American revolution, ex- pressed his desire for creation in the following language: q solemnly enjoin 1t upon my son, as an indis- pensable duty, that, as soon as he conveniently can after-rny decease, he cause my body to be wrapped in 12 yards of tow cloth, and burned until it is entirely consumed This re- quest was carried out, and marked the beginning of cremation on this side of the Atlantic, although it was not until 1876, after a half century of agitation, that the first modern cre- matory was built, at Washington, Pa. It was first used for the incineration of the body of Baron de Palm in De- cember, 1876. There are now eight crematories in Europe, the majority being in Italy and Germany.

Biu Pay for Fishermen.

A new high record for one days earnings in halibut fishing has been made by the American schooner, Di- rector, Captain Soriano, out of Prince Rupert, B. c. The former record, held by this vessel, was $30.70 per man per day. On the trip ended September Il, when the catch was marketed, the figures were advanced to $43.75 day for each man.
 The Director was gone from port eight days. It brought in 17,0O0 pounds of halibut, of which about 5000 pounds were first class. The rest was sec ond class, and brought half price. The first class fish was sold for 16% cents a pound. The amount received for the catch was $2,139. The expenses were $309-an unusual figure, as an extra supply of gear was taken along in case of emergency. The share of the yes gel amounted to $435.60, leaving $1,- S84.40 to be distributed among the

( STOCK MARKET ;
 

New York, Dec. 8-Opening- Prominent stocks were lower by frac- tions to a point at the dull opening of the, weekend session today, trans continental railroads, industrials and metals leading the decline. American Tobacco featured the specialties with break of 2 IA points. United States Steel reacted half a point and other equipments eased slightly with shippings The bond market was apathetic, bond issues displaying fur ther weakness. Liberty bonds hard ened.
 Closing-Dealings today were negli- gible, the turnover being the smallest of the year. The lower prices at the opening were partly overcome later. but the trading dragged near the end. A few prominent railroads yielded a point and some active i4dustrials lost as much, with 2 1-2 point decline in Brooklyn Transit. Many prominent stocks were not quoted at all. The closing was heavy. Sales, 100000 shares. Liberty As were quoted al 97.28 to 97.54 and the 1-2s at 98.7S to 98.S6.

Great Sword Not Unsheathed.

Druidica1 rites and ceremonies marked the opening of the great Welsh festival of the year, the Eisteddfod, which was held recently at Birken- head. The Gorsedd circle of stones with the tall Logan pillar was set up in the center of the large park of the city and nearly all the addresses were delivered in Welsh. On account of the war the arch ruled that the great sword should not be unsheathed with the challenge 'Ts 1t peace" and a challenging note was blown on the bugle instead. A message received from the Welsh brigade fighting in France was greeted with tumultuous applause. Premier Lloyd George wis ited the gathering and made an ad- dress in the mother tongue.

A ROAD PAVED WITH IRON.

William G. Shepherd, representative of Everybody's Magazine in Russia, motored over unique highway in the course of his visit to the Russian city Kronstadt, which he describes in the December issue:
 "Our automobile passed two miles over such a roadway as no tire-maker ever conceived; 1t was made of iron castings that looked like cog wheels, lair on their sides, with the cogs in- terIapping.
 He says this road is one hundred and five years old.' explained Maxi menko (the guide). It was laid in the old days for heavy cannon, and it's as good as new"

Whence Came canaries?

The origin of the canary is obscure. It seems probable that captive cana ries were first secured from the Ca nary islands, the group with which they have 50 long been popularly as- sociated. There are in Europe, how ever, two closely allied forms from which the domesticated canary may have come. One of these, the bird that is recognized as the "wild. ca nary" Is found in some of the Canary islands, Madeira and the Azores. The other form, called the serin finch, ranges through southern Eu- rope and northern Africa, extending eastward into Palestine and Asia Mi- nor. In the wild state these forms are very similar in color.

The 'History of the World" in French, published in 1491, and the Cologne Chronicle" of 1499, both great volumes, have many fine cuts, some of them carefully colored by hand. The "Ship of Fools" published in 1488, is a very well-known work, many of the illustrations having been reproduced in many other books, and is crammed full of illustrations.

How Mme. eernhardt Goes Shopping

Sarah Bernhardt is woman who dislikes shopping through and through, and had she her way she never would be annoyed by going into store. She rarely does go, but at that she prob ably buys more than a dozen other women who practically live in the shops. She has the frilly fancy things which she is desirous of brought to her door where she can make her selection in peace and comfort with no one urg- ing her to buy and no one looking hurt or grabbed because she didn't buy.

INVENTOR SUES
SHIPPING men

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-John
Lawson, Leslie Comyn, Graeme Nc
Donald, Alan Mcdonald and Kenneth
Mcdonald, all shipping men, and AT
! torney Harry Mckenzie were MADE De
| PENDANTS in a suit for $4,000 damages
| filed in the United States district
court here today by Attorneys John
| l.. McNab and Timothy Healy in be
| half of forster Fernandez, Swedish
naval architect, who charges that the
defendants imprisoned him and OBJ
tanned under duress and threats
against his life, plans dealing with his
inventions concerning the construc'
ton of concrete ships.
Graeme Mcdonald is made defen-
dant in another suit for $4,000 dam
ages, which charges him with assault
and battery on Fernandez.
According to the complaint, the at
tack and imprisonment occurred In
the office of the San Francisco Ship
building Company at 80 q alifornlla
street, on October%23 The defendants
are interested in this company.
According to Fernandez, who was IN
| the employ of the concern at the time
as a naval architect, directing the con.
struction of a concrete ship at Red
wood City, upon his refusal to give up
the plans and specifications of his in
vention, Greene Mcdonald knocked
nm down and kicked him in the face.
Following this, lie declares heywas de,
tanned in the company's private OF
INV Hpfpn.
dants, who, he asserts, forcibly seized
papers in connection with his inVen'
ton, taking them from his person and
from his drafting room. .-
Late in the afternoon, according to
Fernandez, he was placed in an auto
mobile and taken by John Lawson to
his home at Redwood Highland, where
he was subjected to further threats.
Fernandez has an international rep
utation in shipping circles as an IN
ventor in concrete ship construction.
He came here four years ago. Six
months ago the San Francisco Ship
building Company was organized to
construct concrete ships under the di-
rection of Fernandez. Behind the new
concern are the Union Iron Works, the
Balfour, Guthrie Company, the
Comyn- Mackail Company, the Stand
ard Oil Company, and the Pope-Talbot
Company.
During his employment with the
San Francisco Shipbuildirg Company
Fernandez says he evolved new ideas
in concrete shipbuilding, which, upon
his employers failing to offer him any
encouragement, he says he offered to
other shipping men, who Incorporated
the Golden Gate Shipbuilding Com
pany. ... -.= ~. =.
Discovering this fact, the officials
of the San Francisco Shipbuilding
Company, according to Fernandez,
took the means complained Of in his
suit to get possession of his new
specifications. ..".* -.
