by initiating currency and repudiating
debts as Germany and Russia have
done. Such a course relieves the fu-
ture generation on one hand but takes
the entire cost of the war out of the
present generation and out of the ac-
cumuiated labor of the past. Such a
move amounts to a capital tax and
reduces every one to a starvation
scale of living. 1t is better in the
long run to spread the cost out over
TWO or three generations
Now. how about these gold re-
serves! III money and credit are in
creased more rapidly than the supply
or goods prices tend to rise, but such
an increase is made by increasing
credit and loaninG money that must
oe paid back. If you borrow $1,000. for
instance, and spend 1t for the things
you want your immediate purchasing
power has been increased by $1,000
your producing power remains prac-
tlcally the same. Later on, however,
when the loan comes due your normal
purchasing power is reduced by this
SI,ooO, which you cannot spend, but,
which you must pay back. Any alb
normal imitation OF credit then in
creases purchasing power for the mo-
ment but reduces 1t later on. Nothing
is gained.
With the whole civilized world
racing several years of eight-hour
production with seven, six, or five
hour purchasing power. I am inclined
TO believe that the broad downward
trend of commodity prices which his
tory would suggest may be expected.
Value of Dollar.
This means that your dollar will
be worth more as the years go by
and is distinctly encouraging to in
vestors. If you had invested $1,000
in per cent fifty-year bond in 1900
and had sold it in 1920 you would
have suffered loss from two factors
First, you would not have received
$1,000 for your bond, but instead
around $3.50 as bonds We're then SELL
ing on a $40 basis. Secondly, your
dollar in 1920 would not buy nearly
as much as it would have inl900. The

nescribes Striking Example" of
Il Concrete Construction Project.

with lumber being consumed in
the United States six times as fast
as 1t is being grown, ut is absolutely
essential for architects to study and
specify new lumber-saving construc-
tion methods, Snowden Ashford, for
mer municipal architect of the Dis
trict. told a large audience of archi-
tects and builders in an illustrated
address at the Cosmos Club this
week.
Not only is the nations strictly
United lumber supply being exhaust
cd unnecessarily by the construction
# wooden houses where concrete or
rick dwellings, would be cheaper in
ne long run, but an enormous
mount of lumber, amounting to bill
Ions of feet, is wasted even in the
construction of non-wooden struc-
lures, Mr.. Ashford asserted
AS a striking example of this he
lowed stereopticon photographs of

Nuse being built here, where the tenn
brary forming of wood represented

Concrete is obviously the one ma

Federation of Women's Clubs and
re Russell Sage Foundation. Mr..
Ashford then added that unintelli-
sat methods of using concrete have
h3mpered its adaptation to a great
e.ient.
lie outlined the methods of several
- systems of concrete construc-
adaptable to any type of con-
tie building work, which not only
ct the cost problem, but also give
-" superior results to lumber and
other building materials and al less
cot. and without wasting lumber in
TIE construction process.
ihe first system entails the fabrica-
N OF concrete walls in horizontal
ition, the completed wall then be-
O.. hoiSted to it's permanent vertical
s;ition and locked with the adjoin-
walls. This system, he explained,
S away with the need of tenpor-
wooden forming which becomes
ste, and alsG makes possible the
80 OF cheaper sag or cinder concrete,
the same time providing an air
Int and moistureproof wall. This
TEN has been successfully used
tvre in Washington, demonstrating
rings beth in first cost and also in

.rse, Mr.. Ashford added. Reference
w. made to an overlapping aad inter
iC"king steel form which takes the
II, ce of the clumsy wooden form and
. o avoids the waste of lumber and

ger. and also the development of

SAVAGE LOSES
TO ALEXANDER

Vie Alexander, the clever colored
heavyweight from Los Angeles,
defeated Kid Savage of Mexicali
for the second time this year at
! the bull ring in Mexicali yesterday
i afternoon, getting the decision al
the end Of 20 rounds.
1t was no easy victory for Alex.
ander, as Savage kept battling him
every step of the way, and was in
good condition at the end of the
fight. The latter evidently wish
ed to make good impression after
his l&y-off of several weeks, and
at all times showed Il willingness
to mix things up.
Alexander found the going par
ticularlv rough in the ninth round
when Savage cloutcd him around
the ring. Tho blood flowed from
the colored boy s mouth and he was
plainly in distress. He managed to
weather the round, however, and
rested during the next few rounds,
being content to take things as
easily as possible.
In the l4th round Alexander
started piling up the lead that won
him the fight. In that round he had
Savage ratified and inflicted con-
siderable punishment, cutting q
cash in the white man = forehead
The punishment he had taken slow
ed Savage up for the next few
rounds though he tried to rush Alex
andcrin the last round, the colored
boy drove him off, and took the
offensive.
The fight was marrcd by consid-
cradle clinching, both scrappehs
showing Il willingness to rest on the
other fellow S shoulders, much to
the annoyance of the spectators who
time and again urged Capt. Stev-
ems, the referee, to break the men.
Savage fought much better
fight than in his former appear,
anee against Alexander.
The preliminary fights were un-
interesting, Kid Ontario getting the
decision over Young Lavina IN the
semi-final after four rounds of slow
going. In the opening fight, Young
McCarty of Brawley took the dcci-
sion from Moreno of Monrovia,
neither battler showing any boxing
skill.
Previous to the main event, the
announcer read telegram from
Floyd Johnson, challenging the win
ner of the fight and fans 'hope to

For several years these corners
have been dangerous points, not
only for strangers unfamiliar with

highway frequently. The curves
are practically right angles, and
more than one car has met disas.

work should be completed in day
