SUBSIDY FOR GOLD
 PRODUCTION OPPOSED

LONDON, Feb. (by Associated Press).-"A subsidy for the produc- ticn of gold appears to us to be fun damentally unsound," reports the gold production committee, consisting of Lords Inchcape, Sir Thomas Elliott, Sir Charles Addis and w. H. N Goschen.
 Early last year committee called the gold producers committee ad- vised the chancellor of the Anehequer that unless the gold producing Indus try was helped, the already diminish ing supply of gold must suffer. and that the maintenance of the present gold standard of value might be met by special grant of some kind.
 The gold production committee, as quoted above, does not approve a subsidy, and further says the gold production of the empire rose steadily from s51,O00,00O in 1910 to s59,OOO,- 900 in 1917. Although there has been a decline since, it is regarded as due to natural causes and decreased labor efficiency caused by the war

.IDITAROD GOLD { BROUGHT OUT
 BY DOG SEEDS

ANCHORAGE, Feb. 2 Especial to the Daily Times) Lone thousand, three hundred pounds of gold, valued at $300,000, recently passed through Anchorage on it's way from Iditarod to Seattle. In charge of Robert Grif- ifs, the veteran Wells Fargo Express messenger, the treasure, packed in heavy wooden boxes and loaded on three dog sleds, was twenty days en route from Iditarod to Anchorage. The trip over the trail from Iditarod to Matanuska, where the party boarded a train on the government railroad, was slow and arduous on account of the weather At roadhouse on Happy river the travellers were storm-bound seven days.
 As result of the difficulties and delays on the trail between Iditarod and Matanuska MT. Griffis, who for several years has transported gold for the Wells Fargo Express Com pany from the Interior to the Coast, did not realize much, if any, profit on his journey this season. He un- dertook the moving of the metal from Iditarod to Seward at $1.25 pound His expenses on the trip this year practically equaled his compensation
 The gold is owned by banks and dredge operators in the Iditarod coun- try. To get it to the States they in trusted it, as is customary every year, to the express company. At Seward MT. Griffis delivered the treasure to an agent of the company, and by him it was sent by steamship to the Wells Fargo office in Seattle.

SIXAIRPLANES
 FOR STATION
 TO WESTWARD

Six airplanes, including possibly a dirigible of the Zeppelin type, are planned for the aviation base to be established at Seward as part of the extensive system of aerial coast de fense patrol The airplanes for the base will probably be what are called triplanes, which have developed 16O miles an hour.
 Several months ago the Associated Press dispatches contained the in. formation that Seward had been des. ignated as one of the aviation bases of the aerial coast defense patrol sys. tenn of the United States.
 A recent copy of the Commercial and Financial Chronicle of New York city gives an article regarding the aerial coast defense system, and con. tains the information, received from the department at Washington. of what will be established at Seward.
 Regarding the fleet of dirigibles to be included in the new system, the Chronicle says:
 "The fleet of dirigibles will include four huge ships of the rigid type, cost. ing $1,500,000 each; twelve smaller balloons, to cost about $25O,OO0 each, and a number of still smaller type,
 
 costing about $25,000 each"
 In commenting upon the ninety sta tions planned the Chronicle says:
 "The operation of the coastal sta ticns would require $3,O0O,OOO more and experimental stations another $3,O0O,O0O"

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. z (by Asso- clsted Press).-"Don't spoil the boys when the come back was the plea of Russell c. Lowell of the federal board of vocational education when he spoke here recently.
 MT. Lowell said he thought that some of those who had been maimed In the war were spoiled for the future by being feted too much and adOred as heroes when they reached their own home towns. He cited several cases were young men had practically refused to undertake to learn new trades after being united by their wounds for continuing at their old trades, because, they said, they did not need to work now.
 After time, MT. Lowell declared, man tires of such idleness and false honor, and he either becomes men, tally sick and Respondent or gets quite crooked in his methods and be- gins preying upon people instead of trying to earn living.
 MT. Lowell stated that one of the chief difficulties the federal educa- tional system is encountering is that of getting hold of the maimed men vixen they have returned to this coun- try. They filter back to their own districts and, unless properly taught to start life anew, are apt to reach a mental stage where it is difficult to get them to overcome the real diff1- culties which exist in the re-educa- tion in trades.

 This fact, together with an island coffee crop of only half of what it was last year, and a heavy demand from Spain and Cuba, has sent up prices throughout the island.
 The coffee market here began jump ing week or two ago and it has been going up ever since. Retailers found the price almost doubled over night, and the restaurants last week raised their prices to 10 cents cup.
 San Juan dealers say coffee is likely to go higher than the present price of A cents retail if the outside de- mand continues as strong as now.

MAGIC IN GOLD AND HUM0R
How Happy Combination of the Two
Put End to "Run" on Famous
English Bank.

A story is told, with some reserva-
ton, by a London paper, concerning
the grandfather of the well-known
Quaker peer, Lord Peckover. The
story goes that, during run on the
bank of which he was principal, at
one time known as that of Gurney,
Birkbeck. Peckover & Co., he exhibit
ed. within sight Of the counter, bags
full of gold, surmounted by peck
measure, also filled with sovereigns.
"You see," he explained to the de-
positors anxious. to draw their BAL
ances, that there is enough money
for you all, and a peck over" This Is
said to have terminated the run. Such
is the magic Of gold, and of humor.
One feels by no means certain that
stacks of "fvers" would have achieved
the same happy result. Or, to revert
to the time of George III, when the
sum of twopence was represented by
q solid two-ounce coin, would a large
pile of these weighty "cartwheels"
have allayed the fears Of the small
depositor? No! Not even a ware
