financial rock Of Gibraltar, and a
first mortgage on Gibraltar, is a
poor cripple, limping along at
1856 a pound. That loss of thirty
seven per cent in value doesn't
represent the real loss. For gold
in London costs 116h shillfngs an
ounce, whereas it used to cost only
85 shillings. For the first time in
a hundred years gold is at pre-
MUM in England. The pound is
actually worth about $500. "He
hath put down the mighty"
Just what this means the world
doesn't know yet, but it will find
out.
Paper money is only a nations
promise to pay. When people think
q nation isn't able to pay, the
value of its money drops like the
81. o. u" Of an insolvent individ-
ual.
No wonder the franc loses sixty
per cent of its value. France
must pay. every year, twenty bill
lions of francs, four thousand mil
lion dollars, to make up for war
loss. France has one-third the
population of this country, less
than one-third the wealth. II the
United States had to pay twelve
billions every year, thousand
million dollars every month in
definitely. what effect would 1t have
on our credit?
The nations of the world went
on a terrific debauch for five
years. Now they must pay for 1t.
Russia, with all her wild. dream
ers," seems to be financially. in q
stronger position than many other
nations. Lenine has taken all the,
gold In Russia, ACCOMPLISHING It IN
government hands. The endless
billions Of rubles printed by Boil
shevism are worth nothing. But
that same Bolshevism has under
lock and key a gigantic store OF
gold with which 1t can do real
business.
Reading that news from Russia
you read also that the United
States has shipped eighty millions
of dollars to Prague, and wonder
il this country can't wake up,
realize that Christmas has passed
and stop playing Santa Claus.
Italian lire may be down, but
the Italian people and Italian cour-
age are UP. They are going ahead
over there industrially with ex-
traordinary courage for d nation
that only a few months ago was
chopping down its forests for lack
OF coal.
Caproni has built flying ma
chine to carry one hundred passen-
gers for sightseeing on the Italian
lakes. The flying machine age is
really here.
AS though there had not been
enough violent deaths in five years
OF war, suicide has Increased ex-
traordinarily in all countries since
the war ended.
More than ive thousand killed
themselves in this country last
year. While war was raging, the
number Of suicides diminished
everywhere. That was because
the war was interesting, people
waited to see what would happen.
A scientific gentleman thinks we
have all lived before, but is puzzled
that We do not remember other
lives.
The week-old baby was alive
yesterday and the day before, but
doesn't know that, doesn't remem-
ber. He doesn't even know that
his toe is part OF himself, bites it
and howls. When he gets older he
remembers what happened yester-
day. To human beings In their in
tellectual infancy, death is like a
nights sleep to a baby. They for
get everything that happened be-
fore II.
We shall later carry conscious
ness through from one life to an
other, perhaps, ~and newspapers
will carry the headline:

Tampico, Feb. l3-(By mail)--
Two sources OF trouble confronted
allied interests in Tampico during
the war. They were the Germans
and the |. w. w. At many times
it appeared they were one and the
same. Petroleum was vital to the
allies conduct of the war and Ger
man agents strived, with radiealism
as a medium, to bostruct the flow OF
oil through allied channels.
All that is history, but it is inter-
esting today to observe the present
status of the Germans and their for
mer ally; to note how they have
Jared since the capitulation on the
western front.
The Germans ar still here, but the
support of an imperial government
has vanished and with it has gone a
considerable amount of the Teuton
self-assurance. All the Germans can
hope to do now-all they are trying
to do-is to regain bit of their old
trade and their old prestige.
The l. w. w. also is here. 1t is
not always referred to with that des-
ignation. 1t is sometimes called the
Communist party, or the left wing
of bolshevism, Under any name, how
ever. it's aims are the same. But
the German backing has deserted the
|. w. W., and today the movement
is neither German nor Mexican.
Rather it is an international organi-
cation, with Russian-American play
ing the leading role.

That Many Wives Have Other

In a survey Of family incomes, in

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-

our food is rich. Our blood is filled
with uric acid which the kidneys strive
to filter out, they weaken from over
work, become sluggish; the eliminatiye
tissues clog and the result is kidney

eral decline In health.

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; IL you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy, nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table,
spoonful In a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid Of

ness Is Halted In
Dublin.
TRAGEDY IS IMPENDING
People Gather Outside Prison Praying
For Jailed Political Offenders
Lord Mayor Asks Britain
to Intervene.

Dublin--All shops, public houses
and restaurants of Dublin are closed
and the hotel stats have quit work as
result of the general strike called
throughout Ireland as protest against
the treatment of political prisoners at
Mount Joy. No tram cars or trains
are running except few on the Great
Northern Ireland railway.
The strike is not in effect In Belfast
and the north OF Ireland. In Dublin
and throughout the west and south of
Ireland, however, business is at a
standstill. The vast crowd outside the
prison offered prayers for the hunger
strikers The lord mayor was official
ly informed at the prison that all the
prisoners we're very weak and that
anything might happen within few
hours.
Tragedy Feared.
The lord mayor and the high sheriff
thereupon telegraphed the chief secre
tary for Ireland in London, asking him
to intervene in the interest of peace
and humanity, stating that Dublin was
in fever of excitement and adding:
I'VE fear that dreadful tragedy is
impending"
Announcement of deaths among the
hunger strikers had been expected by
the people. AS the time went by and
the prisoners still survived, however,
expressions were heard among the
most devout elements in the crowd of
faith in the efficacy Of their prayers.
Traffic Tied Up.
Dublin is tied up more effectively by
the present strike than in the memora-
BILE anticonscription strike in 1918.
Even the postoffice service with the
exception of the telegraph department
is at standstill, no letters being de-
lvered. AS the workers left the Col
lege street postoffice armed detectives
rushed in and took possession OF the
building.
The general strike which began in
Ireland, except in Ulster. in sympathy
with the political prisoners here and
elsewhere, at first intended as a one
day demonstration. will be continued
indefinitely, a trades union manifesto
issued stated.
