CIRCULATION OF
MONEY TIGHTENS
AS PRICES DROP
Peak Reached, Figures of
Treasury and PubIica-
ton Show,
BY DIR. LEWIS HANEY
Director Bureau Business Research.
New York University.

ANCN "a
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-One of the
most interesting statements of the
week is that Of Secretary Mellon. who
says prices have practically reached
the peak and that, aside from steel,
the trend is slightly downward. A
prominent publication calculates the
price level fell one point last week and
the various index numbers have shown
little change for two months.
The recent report of the Treasury
Department showed the average per
capita circulation Of money declined
from $42.S1 in December to $40.74 In
January. This MAJ mean the smaller
volume Of money, which tends to
make money worth while, is partly re
sponsible for checking the price ad-
vance. When a dollar in money is
scarcer it is more valuable and It will
buy more boods-which is the same as
saying prices are lower.
Supply and Demand
But this Is far from saying all
prices are down. The world short
age Of wool and cotton makes the
price of the chief textiles. The great
demand for steel, lumber and other
building materials advances those
products. The excess sugar supply
has been so reduced that firm sugar
prices are likely, though no scarcity
exists and consequently not much
increase is expected. This is true Of
copper and zinc.
The law of supply and demand Is
grimly working out its solution OF
the bad adjustments caused by the
war. The production Of certain com.
modities was neglected and now We
must encourage their producers by
paying more. Other commodities
among which IS wheat-were pro
duced in abnormal quantities, and the
low prices are tending to force their
producers to shift into other fields
or to produce more cheaply.
The general price level IS an
average Of all prices. 1t expresses
the relative value OF money in com
parison with a bill OF goods Of all
kinds. If It is advancing, the average
business man makes money, because
the margin between his selling price
and his cost price IS assured; II it IS
declining the effect IS opposite.
Large Volume OF Goods
Now we have come to a point
where the Vlume Of goods put on the
market Is unquestionably large. Rail
way tonnage is breaking all records
and mills are working at capacity.
This great physical volume Of trade
Is tending to increase the total supply
on the market and thus check the
price advance. It IS also reducing the
intensity of demand, as customers
most urgent wants are supplied. The
diminished purchasing power OF
foreign nations Is reinforcing these
tendencies in tine case Of commodities
Of which we produce a surplus, such
as wheat.
Economic analysis shows Mellon
may be right. It shows, above all,
that what we need is for every pro-
Queer to study his business intelligent
ly, to adjust his output to market
conditions-to produce what is in
most demand. =

CEMENT BLOCK PLANTS

Lucien Lewis Forecasts Strong Spring

mally much heavier months.
"Our two plants are running at fun

Of the last few days has delayed work

Cement blocks are being used more

NeuritiS
Says His Prescription Completely
Banishes All Rheumatic Pain
and Twinges---Is Guaranteed.
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poison
Starts to Leave the System Within
Twenty-four Hours.

Every druggist in this county is au-
thorized to say to every rheumatic
sufferer that if a full pint bottle of
ALLENRHU, the sure c%onqueror Of
rheumatism, does not show the way to
stop the agony, reduce swollen joints
and do away with even the slightest
twinge of rheumatic pain, he will
gladly return your money without CON-
ment.
ALLENRHU has been tried and
tested for years, and really marvellous
results have been accomplished in the
most sever cases where the suffering
and agony was intense and piteous
and where the patient was helpless.
Mr.. James H. Allen, the ~discoverer
Of ALLENRHU, who for many years
suffered the torments of acute rheu-
matism, desires all sufferers to know
that he does not want a cent of any
ones money unless ALLENRHU de-
cisively conquers this worst Of all dis
eases, and he has instructed druggists
to guarantee it as above in every in

TRY CELLAR IN
THUNDER STORM
l~nnumerable SUperstitions Exist
as to What to Do in an
Electrical Storm.

Washington. d. C.-Death By light
ming is an act of Providence, and the
ways of Providence are mysterious and
past finding out. Hence the innumer-
able superstitions as to what to do or
what not to do in an electrical storm.
to guard ones self against the flaming
flashes that carry death and destruc-
ton.
Grandmother used to plump herself
mo the middle of a huge f~eatherbed
and cover up her head when the storm
god ruled the heavens and threatened
the earth, and she deluded herself with
the belief that that vas the very safest
place in the world for her. Perhaps IT
is true that no one was ever killed by
lightning WHO had taken refuge in a
~fcatherbed, but scientists agree tina
the feathers have nothing to do with
the immunity enjoyed by those who re-
pose thereon. So don't feel helpless
and hopeless If you are afraid Of
lightning and haven't a featherhed in
the house. No me has in these days of
modern mattresses, and the statistics
as to deaths by lightning are just about
what they used to be.
Lightning Follows Humidity.
Then there's that other idea about
putting your hands on a window pane
Oh the theory that glass is a noncon-
ductor.
People who would not stand at an
oren window, or at an open door, on
tie theory that a draft is a conductor,
viii close the window and drape them
selves against the glass as the best pre-
c.Gtlon they can possibly take.
As a matter of fact, the window,
open or closed, is decidedly a bad place
to be in an electrical storm. The light
mig will not follow a draft. It fol-
lows the stratum of air having the
greatest relative humidity, and there is
no evidence that air currents have any
thing to do with humidity.
But if lightning chances to strike the
side of a house or other building, the
chances are it will enter the window as
the point of least resistance, and the
thin sheet of glass will count for moth
ing in the path of the tremendous
force of a thunderbolt. Open door
ways. or closed doors, unless they are
of steel or extremely thick, are also
10 be avoided, according to the ex-
perts.

Not Likely to Be Hit.

Perhaps the best advice that may be
offered those who live in constant fear
Of lightning is-forget 1t If Jove aims
q t%hunderbolt at you, the chances are
that he will get you, no matter where
you are or what you may be doing to
safeguard yourself, but you. may find
a deal of comfort in the mortality rec
ordS which show that the odds are
about 100000 to l that you will escape
the fate you dread. Moreover, 1t Is
well to zeal in mind hat if you are
killed by lightning you will know
anything about it, unless you wake up
in the hereafter with a good memory
for events in the world you have just
quilted. Hou will see the flash
that gets you nor hear the crash that
accompanies it.
Lightning does inexplicable things.
Not long ago a man was killed on one
of the Washington golf courses by a
bolt that came, not out of a clear sky,
exactly, but out of one that was not
especially threatening or ominous. He
WAS in a fiat, open place, and less than
loo yards from him was a tall tree
The best of experts would have ad-
vised him not TO AXE refuge under the
tree. and that the safest place for him
was in the open. And yet If he had
been under the tree he would probably
have escaped his fate. Or, on the other
hand, was it possible for him to es-
cape his fate? That is a question such
as theologians and philosophers and
scientists ponder over and debate, and,
