top edge.
The portion of textile above this di-
vided pocket should be sufficient for a
flap to fold over silver inclosed, and ex-
tend trifle over the pocket also. AT
one side there should be enough OF the
textile beyond the pocket to form side
flap. This wraps around the case bit
when silver is rolled up in it. 1t sup

stitchery, and initiating of the case.
For this ornamentation a pattern Is
offered which contains three designs, a
knife, fork and spoon each in full size.
An outlined medallion on each fiatWare

An American Goes To Geneva

Although the United States is not mem Der of the League of Nations we often CO., operate in its work. On the last day of the Congressional session just past. President Hoover signed measure providing for par ficipation of the United States in the Geneva narcotic conference in May. Another exam pie of our active interest in League projects is shown by the participation of Edward T. Hunt of the Department of Commerce in the Leagues investigation of the causes of eco homie depressons.
 Mir Hunt is secretary of President Hoovers committees on recent economic changes and on employment With the representatives of l4 European countries he is now at Geneva studying the various national and international factors in the present crisis with the hope of preventing its recurrence.
 At the first meeting of the conference. Mir Hunt emphasized the fact that factors govern ing the long duration of the present depres- sion should be studied as well as the original causes. He estimated that there are four and half or five million unemployed in the United States but stressed the improvement in business since the beginning of the new year.
 The world at large is thinking constantly of the two great questions of security and prosperity. With large-scae production in all civilized countries open markets and general purchasing power must prevail to bring pros- perity to all. It is gratifying that ali nations are beginning to realize this and are trying wholeheartedly to work out solution together

RAsKoB AND WILL HAYS
tsprinfie'd Republican)

Chairman Raskob might have weakened the charge that he owns the democratic party by virtue of being it's biggest money creditor by comparing his method of handling a deficit with Will Hays classic method.
 Chairman Raskob seems to have been so amateurish as to loan the money from his own pocket and make no secret of the fact. Chair man Hays in 1923, confronting q similar deficit incurred in the Hard- ing campaign, solicited heavy con- tributions from Harry Sinclair, now familiarly known as the prison mar tyr of Teapot Dome.
 Mir Sinclair was generosity itself with the assets in Liberty bonds of the fictitious Continental Trading company. He personally subscribed $75,000s to the party's deficit and then delivered to Chairman Hays $185.000 in bonds, this transaction being somewhat in the nature of q loan. It Is now an old story how Mir Hays distributed the bonds, espe- cialiy how Secretary Mellon shrewd- ly returned in the original package those sent to him. All this inside stuff finally became dreadfully em- sbarrassfng to Deacon Hays, as 1t be- came mixed up with the unfolding mysteries of the oil scandals.

Billions For Investment

There is plenty of investment money in this country. The market absorbed the recent big United States treasury notes without turn ing hair, and camored for more.
 Secretary Mellon wanted Sl.4o0. 0.000 in the spring financing program for war bonds and certificates of indebtedness. The S50O,- 100000 issue of } 3-8 per cent bonds was oversubscribed more than four times. The $500, 900. 900 one-year 2 per cent certificates were taken more than twice over. The S30O,- 100000 six-months' certificates were over- subscribed one-third. These rates of return would not, ordinarily. be considered attrac- tive.
 When banks. trust companies and individ- ual capitalists are eager to lend hundreds of millions for as little as l-2 or per cent interest. wouldn't you suppose there would be billions in this rich country available for financing legitimate business and sound real estate at 6 or per cent! Yet industry. trade and real estate are starving, and in thousands of cases bankrupting their owners. for lack of a little timely financial aid.

The Rabble-R Rousers

Writing in the Baltimore Sun--one of the most influential democratic newspapsrs-- Frank R. Kent subjects the "Anti-power pol iteians" to an interesting analysis.
 From now until the next presidential campaign" observes the astute Mir Kent. a great deal will be heard in congress and out about the power trust. Senators have made that their favorite phrase. mouth it daily... An issue is being made. though just what it is all about. where they are going and what is to be done when they get there is very vague indeed. In fact. there is about much of this power trust believing very hollow sound and those who shout the loudest seem to have the least lucid explanation.
 The whole discussion up to date has been sloppy and loose and vapid. At bottom the government ownership advocates are on one side. those opposed to government ownership on the other. No one has to be told in case like this on which side are the demsgogues and rabble-rousers. No one has to be told the character of their appeal
 Mir Kent may be harsh. but he is likewise just and discriminating. The campaign against many so-called power trusts has been filled from top to bottom. with cheap politics. empty accusations. downright misrepresenta- tions Regulation. in certain sections. may need jacking up-there may be records of abuses by individual power companies. But that is no excuse for damning an industry which is making an unprecedented eontribu- ton to American progress. The power issue. looked at through critical eyes. is merely bid for votes on the part of those politicians who believe that the public can be led by vocal caisthenics. t1rs

HERE, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE WHAT THE EDITORS OF THIS STATE AND ELSEWHERE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS. THAT AND THE OTHER THING

R. Kent, the Washington corre- spondent of the Baltimore Sun. bears down rather severely on Chairman Raskob, but even MT Kent grants that, in his financing of the demo- cratic national committees deficit he has done nothing sinister" Mir Kent Is sound in his contention that Q great political party should not be so far under the control of single multimillionaire who foots the bills, yet he should be more critical than he has been of democrats in general who seem gratified that there Is a Raskob willing these days to carry the party's deficit around with him.
 The chances are 100 to that Mir Raskob will never get his money back. And he will not only be out financially. he will be out politically as soon the the next democratic presidential candidate has an oppor- tunity to pick new chairman and campaign manager.

A Whale Of A Difference

Only definite revolt on the part of the higher gasoline taxes. The record of past years is Illuminating. The tax was first introduced in Oregon in 1919. with rate of one cent gallon New Mexico established the two cent tax in 1920. and by 1923 seven states had three cent rate. Arkansas introduced the four cent levy the following year and in 1926 Kentucky and South Carolina raised the ante to five cents Then in 1929, three states joined to establish the present peak rate of six cents. Now rumblings are being heard of tax rates of eight or ten cents or more. to be levied in the future. A large percentage of the legislatures meeting this year are giving consideration 10 increases.
 No other tax has ever increased SO fast: and no other commodity. with the possible exception of few iuxuries such as eigsrets, has ever had SO great tax levied against it. And high rates are not the end of the motor isfs grievance. In various states his money has been used for sea walls schools and gov ernment buildings. waterways general tax reduction and even oyster conservation. All of these purposes may be lsudable but they cer- tainly should not be paid for out of money spent by citizens for gasoline.
 No relief will ever come from our legis- lstors of their own volition. They are thor oughly impressed with the idea that the protorist wiIl stand for almost anything. It is up to the public. to parsphrase well-known advertisement. to show their officials what 2 whale of difference just few cents make.

The Volume of Trade

Quantity production Of mefehandise has greatly reduced the price of many kinds of goods. The little shops have somshow had to reduce their costs to keep in the game. It is the same in the distribution of eommodi- ties through stofes There is great deal of quantity distribution now. through large or- gsnizstions, and the smaller concerns have to meet this competition. This does not mean that the smaller stores are going to be driven out. There is always chance for them to make good. either by specially close attention to the needs of the trade, or by making drives to increase sales on certain lines
 If q small store can sell two or. three times as much of certain line as stores of its type usually do. it will probably handle those lines 90 efficiently that it can compete with bigger concerns and survive after many other small stores have quit. The problem. then. is how to get that relatively large distribution on few lines. The concerns that just take what comes naturally. which simply open up and swait for customers to recon, mend them. or depend on the customers who come in by chance. usually wait long time before they get it. and the majority never get it at all.
 Advertising is the means by which such store, if it delivers good goods for a fair price. can get this enlarged distribution on some or all of its lines. and stay in the game when less active concerns find business un- profitable. It does not have to use large amount of advertising. Some regular space. where it carries its message constantly to the public, will get attention. If it has things to sell worth buying. and will tell the public about them. it will get business. Its volume of trade will greatly exceed that of stores of it's own type. and it's chances for profit and enlargement will be excellent

Eternal Pursuit of Gold

The news of some days ago that new and valuable strike of gold had been made about l50 miles north of Vancouver. British Columbia. is one more item in history of human effort that runs back to earliest eivili- zation. A crowd of people have now joined this new gold rush. similar to tens of thou sands of such rushes in past years. @
 The human race has been feverishly pur- suing gold since earliest history. The aneisnts regarded it as the purest metal contained in our planet. and one of the most absorbing pursuits of ancient scientists was that of the old alchemists. who wore out their lives in futile attempts to change over baser metals into gold. The settlement of our country owes much to the hunt for gold. The ex- plorers did not ordinarily ind much. but they discovered fertile spots where people settled and raised products that brought them more wealth than the gold seekers ever located.
 The settlement of the Pacific coast states was hastened by the gold discoveries in Cali fornia. Had it not been for those discoveries. these states might have remained in the hands of the early Spanish settlers and perhaps they would have continued permanently part of
 Mexico.
 The more easily reached supplies of gold are somewhat exhausted. The worlds busi- ness depends on gold. which is more suitable than any other substance to constitute money The growing scarcity of this metal leads to renewed efforts to find it. and wild mountains and nearly inaccessible deserts are eombed over by adventurous prospectors
 A scarcity of gold means low prices for products. which constitutes dseouraging in- fuenee on business. so that the work of gold seeking is something that should be eneour- aged 5r
