VACATION IN HOSPITAL

Dad Martin of the Radio station de- .idcd that he would take vacation yesterday. lie further decided after
 or no thought and considerable action to spend his vacation in the hospital. The reason Dad choose the hospital was this. Yesterday while en- gagged in hoisting several gasoline lrums from one place to another, Dad who has been reading about the Mara .hon games, suddenly developed the idea that he could break the worlds
 ecord for standing broad jump. He was standing on one drum and the record jump he contemplated making, was ..0al the drum on which he was standing to another. He made the jump. We have witnesses who will swear to it. The distance is not offic- tally recorded, but the fact that the top of the drum was slippery is re- corded, particularly so on the back of Dad, whose feet slipped when he land ed on the far drum.
 Thus the hospital for Dad. A noble windup after completing all the hard work for the coming winter.

WASTE MAKES WANT

The gold mining industry will be completely shut down unless construc- tive aid is provided without delay, in which event it will take years to de- velop a normal output of gold at a very much greater expense. To allow the gold mines of the United States to cave in and fill with water entails a waste of developed gold resources, which in a most critical hour of fin ancial need will cause want. No argu- ment can be made in favor of waste.
 .'ne time to act is now before the n- dustry is shut down.

In addition to paying the exchange discount. which in the case of the French industrial consumer of gold would amount to 100 per cent more in francs than the price paid before the war, the French government has i'm posed sunptuary tax for the use of gold in the fabrication of articles (other than money) of 60 francs per hectogram (S3.73 per. fine ounce) by aw of June 9, 1920. Previous to that late the guarantee tax was 37 francs, 5O centimes per hectogram. The Fren- ch Government justifies this tax in a formal document transmitted by the United States Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, as follows: Moreover this tax, striking as it does uxury goods, or unessential articles, enters into the category of a sumptu- ary tax, the levying of which is ad- .nitted by all economists as a legiti- nate procedure"
 GOLD STANDARD PROTECTED
 It is important that the gold min ing industry be kept alive for fear hat with greatly reduced production shere will be difficulty in retaining the gold standard during a popular campaign for credit restriction ac- companied by declining prices. The continued depletion of the gold stock by excess exportation and industrial use will seriously impair the public confidence in the Nations finance and currency unless normal gold output is insured.

Since the industrial consumers of gold are the only ones in the country .cceiving raw material at the pre-war price, while the general increase in all commodities was 112 per cent in 1919 IS compared with 1914, it is evident that they are being heavily subsidized. Mir. McTadden emphasizes that the' imposition of this excise tax merely adjusts the cost and price equation be- tween the producer of new gold and he consumer of gold in the industrial arts, and is free from all monetary entanelements. A free gold market is maintained under the provisions of thi., bill for the reason that the excise tax is collected on the finished pro- duct as sold, and not upon the bullion which is sold to the manufacturers. I,...-re is nothing in the bill which in any way alters the number of grains in the standard dollsr. the unit of our monetary system. Tine biii creates the governmental machinery by which the consumer of gold in the industrial arts may pay more nearly the cost of pro- duci;, for his raw material. The ssin,Gius to the gold producer speci- fic.l in this bill is equal to the excise TX i.lposed, and is no greater than She exchange praTium paid by Great "ritain in the latter part of 1919 to he South African producer, whose op- r.ta;nm conditions are more favorable ynan those m the United States.

YANKEES NOW SEEKING
, PARK FOR NEXT YEAR

NEW YORK. May 15.-The owners
Of the New York Yankees are casting
about for site for new home for
the local American Leaguers today.
The New York National League
baseball club has notified Colonels
Ruppert and Huston that the Polo
Grounds will be usod exclusively by
the Giants after this year. Colonel
RUPERT indicated today that the ac-
tion of the Giants was a startling sur
prise, inasmuch as the Yankee own
crs claim to have had verbal under
standing to the effect that a long
term lease on the Brush stadium
would be granted them.
This understanding, however. was
with Harry Hampstead, formerly
president of the Giants. Tho Yankees
have been paying $4,000 year for
the privilege of playing on the Polo
Grounds
1t is Understood that Colonel Rup-
pert has options on several sites and
expects to make preparations at once
for the purchase OF the best site avail
able and start building operations
within the next few months.

CURED on August Ia last. Since then

Browns.

trimmed the Indians. In his losing
streak Harper lost two games to the
