Could You
PROVE IT.?

Suppose you should be asked to pay certain
bill for the second time. Could you prove that
you had previously paid it? Probably not.
Receipts are usually quickly lost.
Buff you have a Checking Account and
pay your bills by check you could prove the
payment at once, for a cancelled check is the
best of all receipts.

Artificial
Gold

German scientists are said TO
be close TO the discovery Of arti-
fetal gold. This problem In labor
atory research may be solved at
any Time.
The principle on which scien-
lists are working Is to gain con-
troll Of the positive and negative
eIectrons which seem 10 be at the
base Of all matter. The eIectrons
are always the same. Only their
varying movements and their
changing numbers make gold diff
ferent from any other element
IL the Germans succeed in their
quest and produce gold cheaper
than 1t can be mined, the worlds
money standard will be over.
thrown. IL might be necessary 10
discard metal money altogether.
For the same process for chang.
Ing lead into gold by rearranging
the primal electrons Of lead might
well produce platinum or any
other metal by rearranging the
eiectrons differently. All metals
would thus become interchange
able In the laboratory. Any mon
ey metal could be made from
cheaper elements at will.
The use Of money primarily Is
TO serve as n stable medium Of
exchange. The bootmaIser who
doesn't want 10 trade his boots
for any other commodity imme-
diately takes money for his boots.
The money Is a generally recog-
nized certificate that the boot
maker has done certain amount
OF work for which the community
