DOCTOR CAUGHT IN
SPEED TRAP ON HIS
WAY TO SAVE BABY

One of the latest victims of the
auto speed trap is DR.. II. B. Allen,
who, while on his way to treat baby
that had swallowed a whistle broke
the record in traffic violations.
The specialists figured it was a
case of breaking speed records or the
baby's life, and when the case came
up in court this morning Judge Fort
laid it over until Friday because
of the unusual circumstances.
The child had swallowed the whis-
tie and been brought from Plains
to the hospital in Americas. 1t was
in danger of death at any moment
from strangulations and DR.. Allen
did not hesitate in his de-
cision to get to the child as fast as
his machine would carry him.
He arrived in time to save the
baby's life.

BY ROY GIBBONS.

CHICAGO, August 21.,- We're
upward bound on prosperity's incline.
Big wages paid during tbr war once
more will become the order of the
day. Unemployment is soon to cease
entirely. Clear the Industrial decks
for an immediate .resRn9tionSof busi-
ness.
Thus says HaJbert P. Gillette, eds
itor of Engineering and Contracting,
and wen-known financial expert of
Chicago.
He bases his prognosis on these
factors:
Increase of per capita money
which must result from leveling our
tremendous gold reserve to a $3.50
basis with other currency
Booming Of wages in proportion
to the increase Of per capita money.
Complete returns to good times will
be fully accomplished within the
next three years, with conditions
steadily improving up to that time,
he says. But commodity prices, in
Guiding rents and other necessities,
will also reach new advanced level.
Judged by past business cycles,
we shall experience rising prices and
wages for the next two or three
years. / look to see a rise OF about
80 per possibly more-within
that time," Gillette says.
How 10 Figure 1t. ...
This must result, because our per
capita money in circulation has near
ly always equaled twice our per
capita gold. And at present our per
capita money is only so per cent
more than our per capita gold.
Therefore it is entirely safe to as
sumo that, as times improve and
federal reserve bank notes flow
back into circulation, our per capita
money will increase about one-third
above the present $49.17 level,
bringing it to about $65, or about
so per cent above the 1913 level.
In this manner, the normal ratio
of gold to money will be restored.
The process is automatic and might
well be called irrevocable.
And in ratio to the increase of
our per capita money our wage level,
too, will also rise 80 per cent, or 80

per- cent above 1914 standards.
Before wages rise, however,
wholesale prices will advance, as
they are more susceptible tif changes
in demand, and supply, Retail prices
will come next, and chen wages.
Z Common and unskilled labor will
be first to show a marked upward
trend. Already it has risen in many
localities. And average wholesale
prices have risen nine per cent, as
shown by government reports, since
the first of the present year.
The Controlling Factor.
As wages rise due to an increase
in per capita money, nothing can
effect a reduction of commodity
prices which l forecast will advance
from the present level of 150 above
the normal year of 1914, taken by
all statisticians as the 100 year, to
1S0 or 200 per cent-save an in
crease in productive efficiency.
'This will mean an increase of
probably 80 or 100 per cent above
the 1913 and 1914 year levels.
My method of arriving at such
conclusions very likely will seem new
to most economists because I have
taken only secondary notice Of bank
clearings as compared to per capita
money in comparison with wage
levels.
"But from my observation and re
search it has proved almost self
evident that per capita money, that
is the money per inhabitant in cir
culation in America, is, and always
has been, the controlling factor of
both wages and commodity prices.
Hence if per capita money IN
creases 20 per cent and if times are
normal .(neither good nor bad,) the
wage level will rise 20 per cent.
