GOODS. RATHER THAN MONEY,
SHOULD INTEREST WORLD
BY Chester H. ROwell

How did Britain manage the gold standard when
most of the gold to do with not in Britain but IN
America? 1IS
The answer is simple enough. 1t is matter, not OF
metal but of goods and credit Any nation the
gold standard if has balanced budget favorable bal
of trade and the confidence Of it's people and OF the
world that these conditions will continue.
The goods and the credit provide the gold to pay bal
and modern methods of banking and exchange elm
mate everything but the balances.
In all these things the world needs to learn to think in
terms of goods rather than of money Economists have al
done this but the people, because they measured their
transactions money tended to do the same with ma
tonal affairs.
Now that democracy has taken control of international
relations the sovereign people need to learn what the special
lists in these things always knew.
Consider for instance, the debts which, at last,
decisions be carried out which the people dsapprove
The French finally had to learn by dsusonng experience.
that the German debt would not be paid in money.

On John Prescott's face there was

Leslie herself was ignorant of all
the passions that were yelling up in
the brains of the three men. She
was ignorant of how the man with

in the dance. She was feeling for
the first time in her life, believe,
that great physical thrill that comes
when dancing with someone who
makes the dance the utmost poetical

TO BEATRICE SUMMERS,
CONTINUED

I sometimes wonder, Bee, if any
one ever realizes just what it is all
about-this life of ours.
l am almost sure that most Of us
go through it in a kind of dream
and when we think most that we
are shaping our own destiny we are
being piloted by an unseen Fate
toward something that we least de-
sire.
l am quite sure that Sydney Carl
ton. if he could help it, would not
be in love with the wife Of his best
friend. He is too decent man to
90 ahead knowingly with anything
of that kind. Indeed, am not sure
that he has ever acknowledged to
himself that he is in love with her.
Yet that night at that party his face
was an open book and no woman, if
she was at all interested, could be
in the same room with Sydney Car
ton and Leslie Prescott without
knowing his secret.
This is, with the exception of Les
lie. She is perfectly unconscious and
l don't believe that Mr.. Prescott
knows his best friend is in love with
his wife.
Strange isn't IL that the two most
interested parties in a gossip. Sc
cret or a scandal are the last to
recognize the fact that they arc the
crux of it?
For the one moment when Sydney
Carton saw Leslie in the arms of an
other man eagerly looking up into
his face as she was doing, he uncon-
sciously barred his heart to me as

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
MRS. RAZOR.BILL'S EGGS
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON


Mrs. Kittiwake and Polly Putin
and Mrs. Razor-Bill ate and ate and
ate" said Peter Penguin as he went
on with his story. "They were at
Mrs. Razor Bills to tea and she had
so many good things to eat, they
ate like pigs.
"'Do you have another clam! said
Mrs. Razor-Bill to Polly Putin, and
Polly didn't have to be coaxed twice.
"'Why. yes. if you please, Mrs.
Razor-Bill.' said Polly Putin They
are so nice and fresh and every
thing! Say, Mrs. Razor-Bill, don't
you keep your eggs pretty close to
the edge of this rock! If good
puff of wind came along they would
roll right off and get smashed. Then
you wouldn't have any children.
"'Oh. they are all right said Mrs.
Razor-Bill carelessly. DO have a
scallop!'
$50 Polly had scallop and Mrs.
Kittiwake had scallop and they all
had scallops."
Then what happened asked
Nancy and Nick eagerly.
Peter Penguin looked at them
wisely out of his funny little eyes.
"Im coming to that" he remarked
Then he went on:
"Well. while they were eating, a
little breeze sprang up. At first no
one noticed it much, but by and by
it blew SO hard that it blew a shrimp
right out of the shrimp dish.
my goodness! cried Mrs. Kitti-
wake. It's going to storm. Are
you sure those eggs of yours are
perfectly safe, Mrs. Razor-Bill?"
Perfectly said Mrs Razor Bill
calmly. "Have another prawn. They
are quite fresh. l gathered them
myself this morning.

But to transform this into the only
thing we want-that is, American
money, to be spent in America
France would have to export an
equal amount of goods, in excess of
its imports, and sell these goods. d.

PROTEIN THE WHEAT
MEAGURE
(La MOure Chronicle)

Ola Moure Chronicle)
The Chronicle has heard very
little about grain grades and

And we have a suspicion that the
explanation of this lies in the fact
that our wheat is coming more and
more to be bought and sold on the
basis of protein content than on
the basis Of grades.

FABLES ON HEALTH-
TO EXTRACT A SPLINTER

One of the most annoying of small
accidents is to have silver of wood
stuck into the flesh of the hand
Moreover the wound becomes very
painful if the silver is not removed.
Sometimes it is possible to remove
the silver with a needle or other
sharp instrument. But when the
silver is of soft wood this is very
difficult.
Steam may, however, be employed
without Inconvenience or pain, and
is very effective.
