More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

TO A CROW
If you believe that ball you snatched
The while you cawed your coarse
delight
Can by your better half be hatched
You really can't be very bright.
If man an egg could fabricate,
Are you so vain as to suppose
That by it's means he would create
More thievish crows?
If you imagine that in time
When with the autumn rains be-
dewed
The solid object of your crime
Will hatch and furnish you with
food,
! AS months drag by you'll change your
But you will watch beside it long
And hungrily before you find
That you are wrong.
if you perchance defend your theft
Providing you're not dead to
shame
By thinking that you may be deft
With practice at the ancient game.
Again you era lot of men
Have nursed that foolish hope be-
fore
And you will find it futile when
You see their score.
1 wonder why you took that ball.
1t marked my longest brassie snot,
I thrilled what time / watched it fall
And Dragged about the clout I'd got.
You seized it as it trimmed the cup
And basely flew away to hide
And no one saw you pick it up
They think L lied. ~

Stewards Washington Lettel
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer.

WASHINGTON = Financiers use so
many technical expressions that fre"
quently they're hard to understand.
For instance, they talk about sta
bilzing the franc"
They mean stabilizing the paper
franc. A gold franc is as good as
ever. Being gold, it's worth It's
weight in gold. But the paper franc
is worth next to nothing, unless some
government or some reliable bank
will pay a gold franc for it when it's
turned in.
So many gold francs are deposited
in the Bank of France. A cores
ponding number of paper francs are
issued against them and circulated.
"A few more paper francs may be
issued than there are gold francs on
deposit, for it isn't likely all the
paper francs will be presented, for
redemption, at once.
But suppose hundreds of times more
paper francs are issued than there
are gold francs to redeem them. Then
the paper franc slumps, for every
body knows they don't represent their
weight in gold. Nobody knows just
what they do represent. How can
paper francs like that be stabilized?
Germany did it by mortgaging
Germany-not in francs but marks.
She had hardly any gold at all but
she kept on issuing paper marks.
Presently they were no good at all.
The time came when she wanted to
Stabilize
Still having no gold, she thew her
paper marks, still supposedly backed
by gold, into the discard.
Then she began issuing new kind
of marks, backed, she pledged her
self, by the country's resources-its
land, it's Industries, its productive
capacity, everything.
