HOWELLS.

Tomorrow William Dean Howells.
dean of American literature, will
reach the age of fourscore years. Mr..
Howells is a native of the Middle
West. He was born at Martins
Ferry, Ohio, in 1897, the son of Will
liam Cooper and Mary Dean Howells.
When he was still small child his
parents moved to Hamilton. and it
was there that he grew up, living the
free life of an American boy whose
seasons are marked by marble-play-
ing, kite-flying, and skating-the life
he has described in "A Boys Town"
His father was a country editor, anu
the future writer served his appren-
ticeship in the world of letters as
compositor, as editor, and as CORE
spondent of several Ohio newspapers.
In 1881 he was appointed U. s.
consul at Venice. when he began his
intimate relations with Italian liter
allure. He held this post until 1865,
and it was in 1852 that he was mar
ried in Paris to Miss Elmer G. Mead,

tor of the On. Y. Nation"
From 1872 to 1881 he was editor

Number of Fires in Topeka
Steadily on the Increase.

With the prolonged dry spell and
the overwhelming prevalence or
shingle roofs in the residence district
of Topeka there is needed only a night
of high wind and a spark from a
chimney to provide Topeka with a
replica of the devastating conflagra-
tons of Salem, Mass, in 1915, or the
fires in Nashville. Tenn. and Chelsea,
Mass, last year. according to Joseph
Hanlon, fire chief.
And should such a wind storm arise
there will be no difficulty about the
spark from the chimney. for out of
i49 alarms this year fifty-five have
resulted from this cause.
Topeka is now in the midst of a
time of high potential danger of such

In wind storm heavy shingle has
been known to blow two or three
blocks away to start another fire.
! FIRES are occurring in Topeka this
year with an alarming frequency ac-
eording to Hanlon. There have been

WIFE USED DIAMONDS

CHEAP DOLLARS.

The general judgment of economists
will probably agree, says the Boston
Transcript, that Professor Irving
Fisher is right in assigning large
share of the recent increase in gen.
eral prices to the coincident increase
in the supply of gold money. "Other
elements of the problem being equal,
it must be seIf-evident that an article
which serves as the measure of all
values must have also its own
value, it's own price: and that as with
q superabundance of the supply of
that article it's own value must dimin-
ish, the relative value of the articles
whose value it serves to measure must
Increase What then, has become
of that 'immutability" of the gold dol
lar of which so much was heard in
the days of Populism and the free
silver agitation? Gold was held up
as a fixed standard of value and one
that nothing could change by the fl
nancial experts of the country. Bry-
an and his followers knew better. They
thought there was not enough gold
then and wanted to help out with
silver
Their remedy probably was no
worse than Fishers. The chief diff
ference between the high cost of liv-
ing and the high cost of dollars is that
each affects a different class of per-
sons.
Professor Fisher has a scheme to
meet and discount the effect of the
depreciation of gold through super
abundance. His plan is to increase
the weight of the dollar and it's null
tiple coins in the ratio of the deprecia-
ton of gold. This is a very interest
ing suggestion, continues the Tran
script, but surely the establishment
of something like an automatic ratio
between the weight of the coin-the
| amount of gold in 1t and the public
present extraordinary and well-nigh
| insuperable difficulties, especially if
the weighing of the coin had to be
matter of congressional legislation
at every step. Naturally the heavier
dollar, as carrying greater purchas-
ing power, would be welcome to the
public, but the public would scarcely
welcome as q task associated with the
performance of its electoral function,
the setting in motion of the Iegisia-
tive and administrative wheels to
bring about the shifting adjustment
of the coins weight to the amount of
| gold in circulation.
