Senate Bill Proposes
 Abolition of Gold Standard

Among the several measures introduced in the present Con- gress bearing on monetary is sues, the most drastic so far proposed is one by Senator Brookhart, (Rep.) of Iowa, to abolish the gold standard and tn base the standard of value in the United States on 1860 billionth of the national wealth as of July 1, 1881. The meas ure has been referred to the Senate committee on banking.
 This measure is in accord with a view held by many ec- onomic experts that the Unit ed States may be forced to forego the gold standard to maintain her trade with for eign countries. Twenty-four nations have now abandoned the gold standard, Portugal being the latest to announce her suspension of gold pay ments in international deal-
 ngs. As an example of the manner in which the United States is losing out in the mat :er of world trade, it was point ed out by Senator Dill a few lays ago that the Pacific Coast should be getting trade from China because of the boycott against Japanese goods. Instead, China's trade is now going to England and other European countries be- cause of their cheaper money.

SENATE MEASURE
 ID AID SILVER

A bill to create a United States Monetary Conference Committee and providing for the calling by the United States of an international mon- etary conference to discuss among other matters, the est tablishment of silver as a basis of currency and world ex- change has been introduced in the upper house of Congress by Senator Dill, of Washing ton.
 Senator Wheeler, of Mon- tana, has also introduced a bill to remonetize silver and pro- viding for the free coinage of silver on the basis of 16 to1 of gold. A companion bill has al so been intorduced in the house by Representative Ev- ans, of Montana. The spon- sors of the three measures are all Democrats.
 The Dill bill, which has been referred to the Senate finance committee, creates monetary conference committee of nine members, three of each to be named by the president, sen ate and house, to meet with representatives of other gov ernments which the United States may invite for the pur- pose of agreeing upon silver as a monetary basis, it's use in world exchange, and for the payment of debts in silver so long as those countries con- tinue to retain silver as :, standard of value for money.
 These measures represent constructive steps of the first magnitude with respect to sill yer, as they bring the silver issue squarely up to Congress, as we'll as to the administra- tion.
 Senator Shoot, of Utah, has also introduced a bill to permit foreign governments to pay their debts in silver at the cur rent market price. This meas ure, however, does not aim at increasing the monetary value of silver. On the contrary, it would maintain the white met al on a purely commodity bas- is by making it worth only "the current market price As a result the bill is being widely protested by opponents of silver remonetization.
 Senator Dill has also offer ed a suggestion that President Hoover propose at the Hague conference that other powers agree to place silver on a mon- etary and world exchange bas- is to help them pay their bills.
 Opposition to directly inflat- ing the value of silver or peg ging it at fixed monetary lev el was expressed by Dill in urging the use of silver at its commodity value in trade. This, he believed, would raise the value of silver of its own accord.

ALASKA MINERAL
 OUTPUT IN 1881
 GREATEST IN YEARS

ue DcpdTtIlcHI Ol tue lu- terior has issued some interest ing statements regarding the mineral production in Alaska during the year 1881, which show a total value of over $12,000,000. The total pro- duction of gold is estimated at $9,342,000,000 about $866,- 900 more than in 1880, and is greater than any year since 1919. The total value of gold produced since the early days amounts to almost $400,000,- 900.
 The gold recovered last year from placers totaled $4,706,- 900, and about 79 per cent of this was produced by dredges, of which there were 27 in op- eration.
 By far the largest amount of placer gold came from the Yu- kon region, with the Seward Peninsula region second. The other placer mining regions to- gether contributed less than one-tenth of the entire placer gold output of the territory, and in the order of their plac- CT production stood as follows: : Kuskokwim, Copper River, Cook Inlet-Susitna, Northwest ern Alaska, and Southeastern Alaska. The largest producer in the Yukon region was. the Fairbanks Exploration Co.,, and the largest one in the Sew ard Peninsula region was the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields at Nome. The bulk of the lode gold continued to come from Southeastern Alas ka, especially from the prop critics of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Go. in the Juneau district.
 The following table shows the sources of all minerals produced in 1881, as compared to similar production in 1880.

 S12.010,000 S13,S12, ,000 The value of the copper pro- duced from Alaska in 1881 is estimated to have been $1,- 712,000. This marks a decrease in value of more than $2, 2,500,- 900 from the corresponding value in 1880. Nearly 1,00,- 900 of this decrease in value may be attributed directly to the lower average price of copper in 1881 than in 1880. The low price not only had it's direct effect in the value of the output but also acted to restrict operations, so that the quantity produced fell off by an amount estimated as in ex- cess of 12,O00,000 pounds. The average selling prce of copper during the year, as computed by the Bureau of Mines, was 8.3 cents against 13 cents ir 1880. In 1881, as in former years, practically all the cop per came from two mines neal Kennecott, in the Copper Riv. CT region.
 The value of the silver pro duction in 1881 was only $99,, 900, as against $157, 300 in tht previous year. Two-thirds o1 the silver comes from the cop

case he actually made miniature automobiles
to show how the traffic will flow SO that there
will be no crossing of lines of cars and hence
no traffic jams. He is ah expert, swift and
sure and his models are correct to the last
detail.
"I can carve out about 80 or 80 automobiles
an hour" he says. Then I dip them in diff
ferent colored paint and they are ready to be
put on the roadways."
Rather surprisngly-his main tool in all his
construction is a safety razor!
Sometimes he has difficulties in obtaining
materials that will represent the things he Is
trying to show in miniature. Pipe models
were difficult to get, until he hit upon the
plan Of using spaghetti Now, painted and
coiled, strings of the favorte Italian food look
exactly like iron pipe. Weindorf tells one
amusing story about finding material:
"I was building a model with heavy iron
girders and I couldn't think of anything that
would represent rivetS. For several days I
pondered over the matter. Finally as I was
passing store, saw some small gum drops
in the window. They were just the thing,
knew at once, to use for rivetS.
"I went in and bought some, took them to
my workshop, put them on the model and
painted them. They looked exactly like rivet
heads. Then stored the model in closet for
a while. But when went to get it, something
had happened All the rivets were gone. The
rats had eaten them off,
OFTEN, to get exact details of an unfinished

tubes with flashlight, observing phases Of
construction that he might have missed. Oc-

tails which must be changed. Then he is forced
to start over again.
Perhaps his most remarkable piece of work
has been carving from cardboard model of a
fancy fligree ircn fence that stood in front of
an apartment house. He insists that all de-
tails must be exact.
His regular job takes up all his time through
a full day. Then he returns to his Long Island
City home from his workshop in Brooklyn-on
the subway-and goes to work in his studio
there.
AS a cartoonist and caricaturist he draws and
paints pictures that resemble those of the late

you hear all about it. perhaps it will seem
impossible-but it isn't. He has proved it.
For "a years weindorf has been with the

During most of this time he has been de-
signing subway models that are marvels of
accuracy, beauty and architecture.
He doesn't have an assistant. When he is

in the world who can take his place. he Is not
afraid of losing his iob-even in these troubled
times when jobs mean so much.
The second phase of his remarkable career
which has run concurrently with his regular
work, has made him artist whose caricatures,
paintings and sketches have won fame for him.
And until recently, over period of 10 years,
he taught architectural drawing in night school,
while doing his other work, supporting and
rearing family and travelling more than an
hour every day on the subway system he knows
so intimately!

an architect and was eventually licensed in
that profession. lis first job was as craftsman

The trend in the Government

$102.16, and the Treasury 414s,
a full half point at $105.O8.
