THE PRICE OF SILVER AFTER
PlTTMAN ACT.

At the present rate Of government
purchases OF silver at 81 per ounce
under the terms of the Pittman act,
the 2O7OOOOOO ounces required will
have been purchased before the end
of 1928. In fact, il will probably be
much sooner, for silver producers will
naturally endeavor to increase then
output in order to take advantage Of
the high price before the expiration
of the law. Another condition that
win materially shorten the time as
far as producers are concerned was
recently pointed out by smelter rep
resentative. The smelters will dis
continue paying 81 an ounce two or
three months before the purchases are
completed by the government in order
to give them time to smelt, refine and
dispose of the silver they have on /
hand at the price fixed by the Pitt
man law. From this it appears that
the silver producer will not be fav-
ored with 81 an ounce later than the
first of August or September 1t is
therefore evident that unless some-
thing is done to maintain the price of
silver after the government ceases to
purchase, silver will drop to the open
market level of about Go cents per
ounce. and probably lower on account
Of the large increase in the amount of
silver to be absorbed.
The friends of silver have been Civ /
ing much attention to the situation e
and various plans have been proposed S
to maintain the price if possible at 81 j
per ounce. The best solution, and the s
one which we believe will eventually t
be adopted. is an agreement among b
the leading nations of the world es- S
tablishing a fixed price for silver, but v
manifestly this can not be accomplish 1
ed while the present chaotic condition e
prevails in Europe. Recognizing this p
it is proposed by the silver IL
producers to organize an export as o
which would control the d
of silver produced in the n
United States Canada and Mexico, II
about four-hfths of the a
silver produced in the world. Such an Il
it is contended would be m
lble to regulate the world price, which fc

Owen Burns vice president of the Board of Education, is not simply a prosaic business man. He is a dap bier in verse. Between the events Of a busy lifetime. he finds time to write a little poetry. His muse, though dit tie cultivated. has a quality of its own, and far worse verse is printed in magazines and paid for by check. -
 Owen Burns is by origin an Irish man, though he was born in America, and has in a highly developed form that romantic and imaginative quality of mind which is supposed to eharac- terize the Irishman. His life has not been devoted to literary pursuits, but to manufa cture. He was for many years the head of the shot-shen de- pertinent of the Union Metallic Cart ridge Company, and he did a great deal to develop the shot shell to it's present high form. Those who work ed under him were largely girls. Whether or not it was his long aSso- ciation with femininfty that turned his mind to poetry. not even he knows. At any rate Owen Burns combined in tense practicahty with his poetic gifts.
 As the devoted husband and head of a family the muse of Owen Burns has freque ntly been attuned to donnes- tic subjects, Not a few of his poems in this area have been printed in The Times. Here is a verse from a poem, entitled, ITO My Wife: Peace. foolish heart, the shadows fall
 behind,
 Where yesterday they cast their length
 before,
 Hold fast my hand, help me the way to
 find.
 For we are stumbling, Love. toward the
 dark shore,
 Whose waters stretch away beyond my
 ken,
 And I am fearful, Love. faiths lights
 burn low.
 Lend me your strength. Love, just as
 you did when
 Our lives were young, in youths sweet
 long ago"
 And here are three little verses to Baby" which have a quality and a beauty and a spirit of resignation all their own:
 Leave her hair as it was 'twixt a tangle
 and curl Fold her hands over her breast, And over the blue of her bright winsome
 eyes, Close the curtains of rest. Pale and cold are the lips that yesterday

Extracts From Poems By Owen Burns

"A. Man. are among the best written upon this subject:
 Because he dared to uphold the laws,
 And righteous deeds of earnest men, An humble scribe lends to his cause
 The tribute of his scribbling pen. And seeks to wake truths sounding lyfe, And te n of mu5g 5 Rs Res ei9g tds dssire read
 Prompts~llim to lift brothers load.
 The pathway straight toward high Who bid the civic conscience wake.
 To labor for a common veal.
 And dares enforce Gods and mans And never, stops to seek and ask And many an honest soul unnamed
 That shrank beneath misfortune's Has felt the grip of that strong hand
 Quick reached to lift theSman who's And many scoundrel shrunk in dread.
 When blazing through Novembers With victory's garland on his head. :.
 Roosevelts stern face famed on his
 sight.
 Let honor guard the paths he trod
 And civic pride preserve his name, What better passport to his God, what greater tribute nlS IaTle'
 This verse is from a poem entitled Memorial Day.:
 Flushed for them the nuskets rattle,
 Flushed for them the cannons' roar. Their cause judged; the God of Battle
 Guards their sleep forevermore. Memory breeding aye and ever,
 Sad-eyed, weeps above their heads, Sealed their lips. Oh. never, never,
 Hush nor veX the slumbering dead. Tread lightly now, our duties over,
 Let our flowers a, sentry keep, Through the verdure> of the clover,
 Let their heaven-lent colorS peep. Sound the call. We may not tarry. Other duties call away, But while love lives we will carry
 Flowers to deck their graves in May"
 This poet seldom utters a gloomy thought. In the little volume of poems he has assembled there is only one of this quality. which he has call ed "A Pessimistic Mood"
 In his lighter verse he has not scorned to deal with a matter so tri- vial as a kiss in Lines Suggested by Your Asking Did I Think Kissing reated Love-.

An Absurd Notion
 Dear Miss Fairfax:

Don't you think that If he really loves me or if there Is any man in hirp he would get Q position outside of an office? I don,4 mean that he should work so vary hard. but only that an office is far a girl and not big, strong husky feI- low. CABcrnE
 Where did you get your absurd mo- ton about office work? Do you mean to suggest that the bank presidents heads of corporations, lawyers edft ors and all the vast category of men who do desk work" are doing Iess than regular mans work? If vol, write seriously, it is high time that you did little sane thinking and made some attempt to broaden your mind and your knowledge of what ia the worlds work and who are the men who do it.
