people do not miss this idea as al
together visionary. They prefer O

other scheme might work pretty
well.
What orthodox financiers like
about gold. they explain, Is that t
has an intrinsic value-in the arts
and, for instance, filling teeth
which does not fluctuate SO rapid
ly OF so far az values Of any sort
Of national wealth, such as crops,
real estate or warehousesful OF
weight on the scales.
Hence, 1t has stability, aS a

The financial folk refuse seriously
10 consider the theory that science
may. one day. knock the value out
Of the precious metals.
However, scientists speak of 1t as
possible.
Indeed. the French savant, Jolli-
vet Castelot. Is asking now for a
test OF a process by which he de-
clares he has produced synthetic
gold. exactly the same as natures.
Similar claims have been made
before.
None ever has been satisfactorily
verified, but science declares that
1t can be done-the right Jolt on
the rich atom is recognized as liza
Die to turn the trick any time.
The financiers themselves confess
that cheap gold would be no good
as money-and synthetic gold
would imply other synthetic metals.
Then what?
Treasury echo answers:
The fixing Of an index value ON
commodities generally.
"A wheat index, for example.
would hardly do; wheat prices vary
too widely with good and bad years.

tiles, but some hundreds Of them
could be jumbled together-wheat

Salt in Furnace.
LITTLE ordinary ice cream

A LITTLE ordinary ice cream salt
will 90 a long ways toward solv-
ing one of the problems of the home
owner. the problem of economically
heating his home.
The burning Of bituminous coal,
which, of course, is much cheaper than
anthracite, can be freed from one of
its principal drawbacks. excessive SCOT,
by the use of a handful Of salt now
and then when the interior Of the fur
mace becomes coated and the draft
somewhat curtailed.
For best results with the salt. the
fire should be built up to a good heat
and then the salt thrown on. After
a few minutes the interior Of the fur
mace will be found to have whitened
appreciably from the chemical action
of the burning salt. and shortly the
SCOT will be found TO have been almost
entirely removed.
Incidentally. keeping the ash pit free
from ashes to allow maximum velocity
of air through the ash pit, and running
the fire with the slide in the coaling
door open will aid materially In keeping
down the SCOT.

Akerson's verdicts on mystery novels.
Reading and fishing are President
Hoover's favorite vacation pastines. He
enjoys also an afternoon nap when a
surcease from official duties makes this
possible. The reading and mapping are
closely allied functions. the latter fol-
lowing the former with considerable
regularity. So much has been written
about Mr.. Hoover's piscatorial proclivl-
ties that little more need be said in
that connection. except that fishing Is
virtually his only sport. He is not ad-
dicted to golf or horseback riding, nor
to such indoor sports" as cards or
dancing.
Lieut.. Comdr. Joel Boone, the White
House physician, has found the Presl-
dents evasion of exercise serious prob
lem confronting the White House health
program. Mr. Hoover has no mechani-
cal horse, and 1t is extremely doubtful
that he would use one were 1t given
him. He finds some pleasure in walk
ing, but undoubtedly will have but little
opportunity to indulge in hikes In his
role as President. He shares with Mrs.
Hoover fondness for quiet little strolls

quented pathways are not so numerous

many works of biographical and travel
