He said that reduc- tion gold output would be fraught with grave dangers the country and to business
 So urgent the necessity of keeping the gold production up to normal and to increase il if possible, that gold mining was placed in the essential industry classification, and Congress was urged consider the question of raising the price of gold of giving bonus to gold producers

Death Toll of the Water

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 The appalling number of deaths by drowning this summer should emphasize the off-repeated ing against river dangers. The lamentatable Springfield, Mass, where II members of boys club perished, for example
 No normal person be blamed for desiring to take a plunge in the cool waters of rivers and fakes during this kind of weather, or for wanting to take ride in motor boat rowboat or light canoe. The lure of the water is strong. But the dangers connected with these pleasures should be kept constantly in mind. Many people already have drowned this year. and in practically every re ported instance the victim either has been unable to swim has been indiscreet.
 We meet and women every day who admit that they do know how to swim This is crm- inal ignorance for individuals it themselves, to tie community to life in general acquire a sense, upon each of It is a terrible thing, an inexcusabe thing, when a strong young drowns because he has failed to learn swim. Far worse is it to contemplate the death of a little child who go down because the only people who happen to hear their cries of distress per who cannot swim.
 The knowledge of how to swim should be made compulsory. The art is easily learned in youth, is not difficult to learn at any time of life, but ally boys left to take chance girls receive the immemorial doggere admonition in response their request Mother may 1 go out swim?'
 Any one is likely at time to fall into deep water and at such time life will almost certainly be dependent upon ones ability to swim.
