Financiers continue to worry about
the gold situation. They appear to
think that the metallic base of the
great credit structure which has been
built up as a result of the war may
collapse from overlooking. Probably
the danger is exaggerated. There is
always the credit of the nation to fall
back on. 1t stood the country in good
stead after the close OF the Civil war,
when gold was scarce, and the bonds
of the government were made the ba-
sis of the national bank currency.
United States bonds after the war
will stand in much higher favor thru
out the world than ever before and
might readily be accepted in settle
ment of international balances. At
tempts to create alarm among the
people over a diminished gold reserve
should be condemned instead of being
encouraged. The treasury and the
federal reserve banks can be trusted
to handle the money problem in a
manner to prevent any topping over
of the financial structure. If gold
become scarce, we will learn to dc
with less gold.

kers all accepted it without question.
Pafenthetically, it may be stated that
there are very few Quakers left among
the conscientious objectors in this
country, most of them having Joined
the Friends Reconstruction Unit 10
France.
Under this system several hundred
conscientious DIRECTORS were placed on
farms turnout the country during the
summer. They usually worked in
units. under a leader, and wherever II
was possible arrangements were made
for them to hold religious services.
Many such units are still at work. in
various farming districts, but they are
rapidly dwindling. The men remain
under military authority and receive
the pay of the ordinary private, in ad-
dition to their lodging and board. The
Warmer, on the other hand, pay the
government the standard local wage
for each man, which is usually con-
siderably more than $50 a month, and
the difference goes to the Red Cross
Many of the &C. O.'s' have been born
to agriculture and own farms of theiI
own, but the government will not per.
nit them to return to their homes OF
to give them any privileges not re-
ceived by the ordinary soldier. They
make good workers, for, curiously
enough, their conscientiousness ap-
pears to be consistent. They are hard
working, thrifty and industrious, and
if it were not for the i'll feeling thai
they arouse in patriotic rural com.
munit;es, the farm plan would un.
doubtedly be a huge success. But
under the circumstances, something
else must be found. Many officials Of
the war department even suspect thai
the &C. O." will be unwelcome in the
prisons and reform schools. too. Thus
it is beginning to look as if the only
opportunity to utilize the services Of
the conscientious objector is in an in
sane asylum. where the inmates are
unacquainted with his principles.

DINNER STORIES

In a certain office building, says
the Boston Post, saw the other day a
placard posted near the elevator call
ing attention to the necessity for con-
serving COAL and stating that in view
of such need:
Our elevator service will be re-
duced. Our lighting service will be
reduced. Our heating service will be
reduced"
At the bottom Of which some ten
ant had feelingly written:
will our rent be reduced. too?"
Sammy was not prone to over
exertion in the class room; therefore
his mother was both surprised and
delighted when he came home one
noon with the announcement, 81 got
one hundred this morning"
That's lovely, Sammy" exclaimed
his proud mother. What was it in 90
Fifty in reading and fifty in 'rith-
metic." was Sammy's reply.

FEDERAL ROAD BUILDING.

Having tried in various ways to in
duee the states to build a system of
hard surfaced roads, including the Of
fering of large subsidies. the govern
ment seems finally to have decided to
do the work itself, thru the postoffice
department.
The establishment Of interurban
auto truck routes for the transporta-
ton CT mail is going rapidly forward
east of the Mississippi under the di-
rection of the department. Scores of
routes have been laid out and are be-
ing installed as rapidly as possible.
The establishment of these routes is
not a Wartime measure designed to
relieve railway congestion, but is a
part of the permanent policy of the
department.
In the very important matter of
bringing the farm into touch with the
city the auto truck routes wiH serve a
purpose that will be appreciated by
every city dweller who wants fresh
eggs and vegetables brought to his
door direct from the farm. To the
farmer, also, the project is of great
interest, opening up as it does a mar
ket for his produce.
The postoffice department says to
the producer: Ship eggs, butter, milk,
cream, vegetables, fruit, dressed poul-
try, etc., from your door by parcel
post. Decrease waste, save time and
| increase output, eliminate excessive
handling and reduce damage.
The departments message to the
consumer is: Parcel post trucks de-
liver produce and fruit direct from
the farm to your door. Heated cars
are furnished in the winter, where
necessary, and iced containers during
the summer.
The authorities are seeking permits
sion from congress to expend large
sums from the profits of the undertake
ing in building first class highways
over the $500 miles of road the trucks
will traverse when the system is COM
plete east of the Mississippi
1t has been found that the trucks
can be counted on to earn an average
of at least $4,000 a year each, and
the department has requested congress
to authorize it to expend SO per cent
of the gross earnings for the construc-
ton and maintenance of the highways
on which the service is or may be es-
| tab1ished.
1t is planned to construct at a cost
of about $4,000 a mile a concrete or
brick paved road not less than sixteen
feet wide, not less than nine inches
top depth with heavy grouted under
foundation, thoroly underdrained for
the entire distance. No other type OF
road construction will Withstand the
exigencies of modern usage without
abnormal after expense for upkeep.
The department points out that g
judicious program, carefully worked
out, will be extremely valuable as 8
? national policy for the employment o,
thousands of returning victorious vet.
Grams. who will thoroly appreciate the
value of permanent highways as ex
emplified in France, and who can un
derstand the military value of sucl
roads as it is planned to construct.

The American dye industry is MAX
ing progress by leaps and bounds. The
complete stoppage of imports of coal
tar colors from Germany has brought
about precisely what was predicted in
this country. Gradually increasing the
variety of their products the manu-
facturers of dyes now report that in
1919 they will be equipped to deliver
dyes in large quantities fully as good
as those which Germany produces
The manufacture of dyes in all its
complexity may be regarded as fully

These are unusual times and the
government is calling upon every one
for unusual sacrifices. 1t calls upon
millions to leave their families, their
comfortable homes, their business; it
calls on thousands to go over the top
to their death. But the government
only calls on civilians to, save and to
lend. This, therefore. must be done to
the limit. Bonds bought by sacrifice
