George his own personal self went
there, the grand old place Is very

wanted the boy should feel the same.
No wonder! George was on the team

meets in this great school that we
chose it. We done so on account 1t

dog catchers. And besides all this,
we picked this one on acct of its

sons likely to derive the greatest ad-
vantage from these glasses are those
who are unable to wear continuously
simple correcting glasses Of the ordi-
nary type.
The telescope spectacles consist OF
two components, a large converging
front lens, and a smaller diverging
lens near the eye. The curvature of
the two components is such that when
the wearer looks at an object in a
direct line his vision will not in any
way be marred by distortion.
In these glasses, it is said, the size
of the retinal image Is increased

PRESIDENTIAL
PARDON RIGHT
IS CONTESTED
Grossrnan c onte m p t
Case is Made Test

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The power
OF the president to pardon in contempt
of court cases was brought before
the United States supreme court in
arguments in the case of Philip Cross
man of Chicago.
Grossman was convicted Of con-
tempt of court and sentenced to prison
by Chicago federal judge. Before he
started serving his term he was par
doned by President Coolidge. The
validity of the pardon was denied by
a federal court and Grossman was
held in custody by the warden Of the
jail. The government brought the case
to the supreme court Of the United
States for decision and Attorney Cen
eral Stone today argued in support Of
the unrestricted power Of the presi-
dent in exercising the right Of pardon.

Debt FUNDING

French Agreement to
Beat British
CspeeIaI 70 Ths DNIIy wOrksrl


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. ANDY
Mellon, multi-millionaire and secretary
of the treasury, reported yesterday to
the debt funding commission" on the
private conferences held between him
self and the French ambassador over
the debt owing the United States by
France. However, what was said was
held in strict secrecy and neither Mel
Ion nor any of the commission would
talk Evidently there is something
to conceal from the American masses
A feeler was put out, however, by
rumoring that altho the French have
made no offer to settle the debt and
have been waiting to see what Amer.
lea would offer them in terms. the
suggestion" has been made that the
debt be funded over period of so
years at a very low rate of interest.
This suggestion" is looked upon
favorably by American officials, who
now consider France as a part of ].
P. Morgan's colony and who wish to
make the debt owed to the American
government as light as possible SO
that Morgan's private loans will not
be injured.
Only one fly appears in the oint
ment. The British debt which Ameri.
ca funded for term of 81 years, may
be affected by reason of the notice
served by Britain at the time, to the
effect that if better terms were made
with any other nation, the British gov
eminent would act accordingly.

saloon.
Dog Fights Police.
A police squad, sent to investigate
the killing, was held at bay by
ferocious German police dog In the
saloon and a preliminary examina-
ton Of the body, police say, indicate
the dog may have played part in
the death. Four persons, connected
with the running Of the saloon, were
arrested and held for questioning. All
deny knowledge Of the staying.
The finding Of the body climaxed
"a hours during which police lines
frightened in an effort to end the reign
of crime in Chicago, the bandit fear
instilled over the city by recent kill
ings and crimes of violence, was re-
sponsible for two more deaths.
Police Mistaken for Thugs.

killed and two other officers were
wounded when Hugh A. Stewart, a
bank cashier, opened fire on the trio,
mistal5ing them for thugs, when their

Questions.
XKTRITE a review of the pamphlet,
wv in your own words, of from
500 to 1000 words, which will take up
and explain the following questions:
/. The nature of a commodity,
which is the elementary form of
wealth, and what determines the valu.
Of commodities.
2. An explanation of how the so
cially necessary labor time required
for their production determines the ra-
ito at which commodities exchange for
one another
3. Explain how the labor-power of
the worker becomes a commodity on
the market Of capitalism, and how the
value Of labor-power, being always
less than the value Of the product of
the labor, gives rise to surplus value
which is appropriated by the capital
ist-employer.
A. Explain how prices, being de-
termined in the long run by value and
always fluctuating around value, can
be made lower or higher by changes
in the methods of production.
5. Show how increases Of wages
of the workers result, not in increase
Of prices Of commodities generally,
but in the reduction in the volume Of
surplus value available for the capital
list; that the question of wages is a
question Of struggle between the
worker and his employer over the di.
vision Of the values created by the
labor Of the worker.
6. Explain why it is that the work
ing class benefits by a shortening of
the hours Of labor even more than by
an increase IN wages.
z. Show the points Of similarity,
and also the points Of difference In
the exploitation Of labor under (a)
slavery (b) serfdom, and (c) wages
system.
s. Show how the capitalist realiz-
es the surplus value appropriated from
the workers, by their transformation
into profit, by an exchange Of commo-
dities at their value.
8. Explain the division OF surplus
value, realized in general profit,
among the various circles of capital.
lists in the form of interest, rent, and
commercial or industrial profit, show
ing that all these forms of capitalist
income are mere subdivisions OF sur
plus value, being determined by the
amount Of surplus value available and
not themselves determining the
amount Of surplus value.
10. Explain the relation between
value and price; between wages and
price; between profit and price; be.
tween profit and wages; and how
changes In one OF these may or may
not result in changes IN the other.
