THAT SUGAR RATION

Anybody who is finding it hard to
get along on two pounds Of sugar a
month, or who resents having to limit
his consumption to that figuress may
do well to ponder these facts:
The British people are not permit
ted. under any conditions. to use more
than two pounds month per person.
They seldom get that much. They
could have more. though, If they were
not lending us their ships TO carry our
troops and supplies to France.
The French people are allowed one
and one half-pounds apiece per month.
The Italians are allowed one pound
apiece.
None of them can possibly get as
much as their nominal ration amounts
to unless we save sugar for them by
contenting ourselves with two pounds.
AS President Wilson says, we are
sitting at common table with our
allies. All we are asked to do Is not
to dump the whole sugar bowl into
our own coffee. AS matters stand, we
still get more than anybody else at
the table. None of the other fellows
are complaining. Why should We?

ed for decades.
There is a so per cent increase this

nEMocRATIc TICKET
THE STANDARD OF value

There is probably nothing in this
scientific age so unscientific as the
way we reckon material values. We
use. as the standard of value, dollar
Ia certain quantity of gold without
doing anything to stabilize that stan
dard. We reckon all other forms Of
wealth by the value Of a unit which it,
self is continually changing. We let
the economic tail wag the dog.
AT present we are all witnessing,
and being affected by, the greatest
demonstration of this fact in all our
history. Prices of everything are
soaring: manq of them are already at
unprecedented heights There are
specific reasons for some of the in
creases. But when the whole plane Of
prices rises, in such nearly uniform
way II is self-evident that the general
rise is deceptive. and it is the dollar,
not the merchandise, that is changing.
1t is a change not of real value, but of
the system of counting by which we
estimate the value. Instead of calling
a thing worth two dollars. we we call
It worth three or four. And thereby
we upset our whole financial system.
We make 1t necessary to raise
wages and salaries over and over
again, in an effort to keep pace with
the rising cost of things as reckoned
In the cheapening gold dollar. We can
do that, after a fashion. But what we
cannot, or at least do not, do is to
make the corresponding changes in
loans, bank balances, etc.
1t is absolutely true that IL loan
you made five years ago is paid back
today. you get back only about half as
much as you loaned. That is fine for
the debtor, but not so fine for the
creditor. The wealth you draw out of
a bank today, though nominally the
same. is less than the wealth you de-
posted there last year or the year be-
fore.
Since the dollar which is cheap to-
day may conceivably be dearer here
after, the money you loan or deposit
today may come back to you with
greater purchasing power than it has
now, and thus return more than you
gave. But that. too, is one-sided
benefit, entailing the same old dis
turbance and confusion.
II we only had some absolute STAN
dard of value" automatically prevent
ing all this fluctuation. what bless
ing it would be in wartime especially.
A standard that would rate days
wages or a months salary not in
terms of changing dollars, but in
terms of the necessaries and COM
forts we look for. and which repre-
sent the real value. Maybe. when the
war is over, our financiers can work
out some such system.

CHEyRONs FOR THE NAVY

Wearing of war service and wound
cheyrons by enlisted men and officers
of the Navy has been authorized by
Secretary Daniels.
The chevrons authorized are SINH
lar to those adopted by the Army.
They may be worn on the left sleeve
to denote service and on the right
sleeve for wounds.
Three months service within the
submarine zone or on vessels which
have been torpedoed or fired upon by
enemy vessels entitle officers and men
to wear the service insignia. Naval
aviators in the United States who
have made actual flights in search of
enemy submarines are granted the
same privilege.
Wound chevrons may be worn for
each injury in action, providing the
wound was serious enough to require
medical attention. and for disable
ment by gas. Additional chevrons
will be awarded for wounds received
at different times.
