And | could share his deep despair,
For such grief I, too, had known.

LETTING THE DOLLAR DO 1T.

Prof Irving Fisher of Yale never tires of advocating
his adaptable dollar Recently he told the Federal cleo
trio railway commission that Americans are all barking
- the wrong tree the price problem High Cost of
DAis up the tree at which they are yelping franti
i x\le guilty Fixed-Weght Dollar is making his
/ another tree Prices, says the professor, are
upA, - for good because the world has more money
than it used 20 have Instead of trying to reduce prices
except assume the brazen high prices of profeer
ing pure and Simple-Prof Fisher would level up any
aggard prices whether of goods of service and then
start all over again with dollar varying in its weight
of gold but stationary in its purchasing price As prices
rise he would increase the number of grains of gold in
the dollar.
Suppose you are getting 500 a month now and you
and your employer agreed that it is fair pay in view
of the present purchasing power of dollar for the
services you are rendering. All right Now suppose
yer from now competent and duly authorized body
finds that the purchasing power of the dollar has de-
clned 10 per cent Instead of you and YOUR empover
getting by the over that extra So YOU striking or
he firing you Uncle Sam simply chucks 10 per cent more
gold into the dollar, andpresto! your 500 buys as
much the year before Instead of having us ATTEMPT
to overake increasing COSTS measured in fixed dollars
by getting dollars, an attempt that is prolific of
prohteerng and disorder, Prof Fisher would have us
overtake it by increasing the gold value of the dollar
de would have the dollar do all the chasing Now be-
cause we assume that dollar dollar when it is only
90 cents or something else have strikes rows quar-
res broken heads, bolshevsm and general demoraliza
ton and disorganizaton nthe myriad efforts to get
more dollars to Offset the higher cost of living. How
much SIMPLER would be to add few grains of gold TO
the dollar.

The Boarders.


"What no." exclaim the boarders,
bring forth the measley lot of
'profiteers and hoarders, and let them
all be shot," The boarders' grub is
scanty, it's slim and punk indeed, in
hosterly or shanty, wherever they
may feed. Their eyes become river
when they look round and see sick
ly slice of liver, a string bean and a
pea. The boarders' cheeks are sal
low, their eyes are full Of woe, their
waistlines show no tallow, they tot
ter as they go. Their lean ribs clank
together and ever, as they reel, they
wonder, wonder whether, they'll ever
have a meal. Bring FORTH" exclaim
the boarders, bent up with stomach

CONGRESS- May
INQUIRE into
Navy AWARDS

Washington, Dec. PA navy
congressional investigation, it was
indicated today, might result from
the controversy between Admiral
Sims and Secretary Daniels over
the awards Of distinguished service
medals in the navy.
The issue gained prominence
with the publication of letter
written by Admiral Sims to Secre-
tary Daniels, in which he declined
to accept his distinguished service
medal.
In his letter, Admiral Sims said
that Of the 10 officers recommend
ed by him for the distinguished
service medal only six received it.
He declared that q commanding
general present was more qualified
to Judge the relative merits of Of
ficers entitled to reward and that a
board Of awards system could not
be fair and that officers in impor-
tant administrative posts on shore
occupied relatively more RESPONSE
BILE positions than those serving at
sea.
Secretary Daniels, in his report
to the senate naval committee, said
the entire controversy resolved
around the question of which class
Of service-shore or sea-was more
important.

COAL DEALERS
HOLDING ON TO
CARS TOO LONG
See Possibility Of Second Shortage
Unless Empties are Released
Quickly.

Coal dealers of the tri-cities
without exception are cooperating
with the railway administration
and the mine operators in the mat
ter of releasing coal cars promptly.
according to c. B. Rodgers, federal
terminal director, at Davenport.
Railway officials in the central
western region today sounded a
note of warning against the posi-
bility of a second coal shortage un-
less dealers were more prompt in
the release of "empties." Com
plants were made that many deal
ers are holding the cars and paying
demurrage charges instead of re-
leasing the ''empties" and return
ing them to the mines.
Coal reaching the tri-cities is
being unloaded as rapidly as the
dealers can secure men. Federal
Terminal Manager Rodgers said.
No delays have been experienced
here in unloading the cars and en-
routing them back to the coal
fields.
Shipments Continue.
Fresh mined coal continues to
reach the tri-cities daily from the
Illinois fields. The Burlington line
brought in seven carloads during
the past 4S hours and the Rock
Island lines have delivered a num-
Der Of cars from the Mathervtlle
fields and other Illinois mining cen
ters.

diers' Home.

Atlanta, Ca. Dec. 24.-Bill Yopp,
former slave, held his annual re-
union at the soldiers home today
with the old warriors of the con-
federacy. and Bill brought along a
little gift for each Of them.
The aged negro has been pro-

with his own money and partly
from dimes collected around his
home near Macon. Last summer
the Georgia legislature, in making
appropriations for 1920, provided
a special fund to carry on Bills
work, and as this may be the last
time the old darky will play Santa
Claus at the home, Governor Dorsey
and other state officials arranged to
be present.
Master In Home.
Bill started his custom of bright
ening Christmas for the old SOL
diers when he returned to Georgia
10 years ago and found his old
master. Captain Thomas NJ. Yopp,
who was an inmate Of the home.
Captain Yopp tells a story of
how Bill, then his 15-year old body
servant, rescued him wounded from
the battlefields and nursed him
back to strength.
