Those whose incomes are fixed. by
previous contracts or by custom suffer
most. If the cost of living doubles
the real power Of dollars to purchase
q living is cut in two. In such q case
the man who receives payment for
4 debt contracted in q fixed number
of dollars suffers as though he were
really paid only so cents on the dollar
with the cost Of living unchanged.
At the end Of this war millions of
people in the United States will own
bonds. war savings certificates and
insurance. the total value running into
many billions Of dollars. All of these
sums will be iRaddition to the billions
Of savings in the form of bank de-
posts or in the form Of mortgages or
bonds. Any variation in the unit in
which savings are expressed affects the
interests Of the owner Of those savings.
With millions of people to be affect
ed and hundreds Of billions of dollars
stipulated in contracts otherwise
fixed or understood. it becomes mat
ter Of grave concern as to what the
dollar" in these contracts and under
standings is to be.
What is needed is to stabilize Or
standardiZe, the dollar just as we
have already standardized the yard
stick.
A stable dollar should always be
equivalent in value to a certain amount
of commodities. The United States
Bureau of Statistics collects price
quotations which show that, with our
present unstable dollar. a given group
of important commodities costs, now
more now less than a dollar, depend
ing on fluctuations in supply and de-
mand. including especially the supply
and demand Of gold. The figure which
indicates how the price level rises or
falls is the Index number"
The gold dollar is now fixed in
weight and therefore variable in pur-
chasing power and therefore variable
in weight.
The heavier or the lighter the gold
dollar the more or the less will be its
purchasing power. 1t follows that if
we add new grains of gold 70 the dol
lar just fast enough. to compensate
for the loss in purchasing power Of
gold. we shall have q fully ''compen-
stated dollar"

RECORD SALARY
Chief Funmaker Among the
Half Hundred In Big Circus
Said to Get $500 a
Week.

Halls 4 hundred clowns from
nirthiand's fertile field have been as
sembled this season by the man.
agement Of the Hagenbeck-Walla
circus which comes to Omaha Mon
day, June 80, for performance. at
2 and s p. m. and a two-mile long
street parade at 10 o'clock in the
morning.
One Of the most interesting of
these clowns is Arthur Borella.
known the world over as the
Here's Me" clown. This is Borel-
las trade mark and for 20 years it
has been his slogan and by-word
Whenever he appears on the hippo
drome track he shouts these words.
Little tots know him, for he has
inveigled cheer and happiness into
the hearts of millions of them.
Beneath lBorella's makeup Of
vernlillion and white there is a sober
face that on downtown street
corner one would pick for a banker
or business man. He dresses neatly
and there is an air OF polish AND
bearing in his manners which stands
in vivid contrast to the foolishly
funny fellow who cavots in the big
arena csnt working the hap-stioks
and making fire crackers do their
full duty
Mr.. Borella is the originator Of
many clown novelties. He is the
first person to introduce success
fully base ball pantomine, and il
was he who conceived the idea Of
having a goose follow him about
the track on a supposedly trip to
the frontier as a soldier. This sea-
son Borella has burlesque which
he calls Chicken" and il promises
TO break all records as laugh
dispenser and a crouch chaser.
Arthur Borella is the highest paid
clown in the world. His salary is
$500 per week and all expenses
Only once in all the history Of
circus was this eclipsed and this
was by the immortal Dan Rice. VINO
once received salary OF $1,000 per
week.

AUSTR|ANS MAY
GET COMPLETE
PACT SATURDAY
All Meetings Of Council of
Four Postponed Until Re-
turn of President Wilson
\ From Belgium.

Paris, June ls.-(By Associated
Press.)-No decisions were reached
at yesterdays sessions OF the ooun-
Gil of four, and all reserved sub
jects were put over until Friday
when it was hoped that final dispo-
sition will be made of them. The
missing clauses Of the Austrian
treaty may be delivered TO DR.. Kari
Renner, chief OF the Austrian mis-
sion, on Saturday.
The Austrian observations re-
spending to the .fragnentary treaty
first communicated TO the Austrian
delegation were today undergoing
translation for submission to the
council OF four. They make a doou-
nent formidable in size.
The Austrian reply will be made
public only in connection with the
allies rejoinder. which may not be
sent until the Austrians have had
an opportunity TO reply to the miss
ing sections OF the treaty. Vienna
newspapers, according to dis
patches from Basic, print dis
patches stating that DR.. Kari Rem
ner, head of the Austrian peace
mission, in his note to the peace
conference, protested against the
detachment of territory from Ger
man-Austria. He is reported to have
declared that them German-Aus-
trian state would form a second
Alsace-Lorraine, doubly greater in
size"
DR.. ~Renner is said to have de-
clared that the incorporation. OF ter
.ritory Of German-Austria in the
Czecho- Slovak state is in contra
diction to the principles proclaimed
by the allies, and he pointed on,
that the German-Austrian state and
the organization of the provinces
was effected on the principle that
the sovereign will of the people is
the creative force of state. Com
plant is made that German states
near the Alps would be deprived OF
defense and means of existence.
