The Future Of Silver

The silver producer of the United

Regarding dollar silver" The Engi-
neering and Mining Journal states; ;
Compared with 1913 prices, lead has
increased 9l per cent silver at (SD, %
per cent: zinc "a per cent; and copper
and tin have increased 2l per cent.
silver producers should, therefore,
feel fairly well satisfied IL the price
remains within reasonable range OF
81. The decline has taken place as n
result Of both decreased demand AMI
an increased supply. In
creases in the supply are caused by the
retirement OF much silver coinage IN
Europe. it being replaced by base
metals and paper. This is melted and
finds a market through London.
Purchase Of silver up to an aggregate
amount Of 20T. 100000 OF. by the United
States Government is provided for un-
der the Pittman act, with the metal ct
81 per oz. During the war $500, 100000
worth Of silver dollars was melted
and this will lR replaced. All metal
so purchased by the Government must
be wholly produced in this country

sold to the Government the price could
not drop below 81 for about three
years. However should demand from
other sources fall off materian. II
might be possible that foreign silver
would sell for T5c or 50o while Ameri

can producers were receiving the fixed
price Of 81.
The situation may be summed up rs
follows:
Under the present laws, silver pro
duced wholly in this country will sell
at 81 per oz. or better, for at least
three years. Foreign silver will, In
all liwhhood, sell at the same rate ms
the domestic product. If however an
industrial depression should develop,
n pronounced curtaimlent Of the de
mnnd might result and foreign silver
might drop below 81 possibly In two
years but hardly in one year
American silver producers are, there
fore, in an excellent position. They are
assured Of Il fixed price for their prod
uct for at least three years to come
and probably five, aud will doubtless
experience a gradual reduction in their

VETS MAD ABOUT ESCAPE
OF RICH DRAFT DESERTER

The War Department is facing an
angry baruge Of protest from the
American Legion and other sources
over the escape of Grover Cleveland
Bergdoll, draft-dodger extraordinary
who was supposed TO be doing five
years In the military prison at Fort
jay, New York. The process by which
the millionaire Stacker was let out with
two non-commissoncd Officers as

Of explaining.
Bergdoll escaped from two guards In
his home in Philadelphia. A story Of

Rewards aggregating more than
$4,000 have been offered for the fugi-
tive's arrest and military and Depart
ment Of Justice agents are securing the
country for him. His mother, who has
always been very active in his behalf
says he is crazy. Perhaps that accounts
for his ability TO get out Of jail and
away from two military guards.
When the news Of Bergdolrs escape

IL has been pretty generally agreed
that there are five essential elements
in normal family life: LIST Health. 2nd
Education. 3rd Employment, 4 Spiritual
Welfare, . Recreation. Just as there
are certain necessary elements in fam

in community life. Every community
should provide for its citizens these
five elements, and in addition there
should be central welfare agency to
see that these standards Of family life

STOP ACTION TO
WIDEN STREET
Property Owners on Ohio Pro-
test Present Resolution.

All action on a resolution to resurface
and widen Ohio street from Delaware to
East streets, was postponed bys members
of the board of works today after a com
mittee Of property holders demonstrated
against the provisions In the resolution.
They requested the board to widen the
street and order the street car company
to place a line in operation on Ohio
street with a double track.
1t was suggested that property owners
not be required to have an eighteen-foot
strip in the center of the street resur-
faced, bat that this should be left open
for parking space until street car tracks
were installed.
George Lemaux, president of the
board, said he favored the suggestions
and was of the opinion that, the street
car line should be installed.
1t was brought to the attention of the
board, however, that plans are now un-
der consideration by Mayor Jewett for
the establishment of crOss-town line on
Michigan street to take care of interur-
ban traffic and it was thought that this
measure will relieve the necessity for the
Ohio street line.
Action was postponed until May 26 in
order to give the board an opportunity
to consider all phases of the improve-
ment.
The board ordered plans prepared for
the Improvement of Tacoma avenue, from
Michigan street to st. Clair street; the
