U. s. TREASURER SEES ERROR IN SILVER SCHE ME
By HERBERT PLuMMER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Take it from w. o. Woods, Treasurer Of the United States, any time any body wants silver dollar for the paper dollar he has in his pos session. if he'll just call at the Treasury Department on the cor nsr of Pennsylvania Avenue and 18th Street, Washington, Woods will be tickled to death to see him."
 The Treasurer's invitation was issued after he had received a communication from a group of people in the western states in- forming him that group of 'sil- yer clubs" had been organized in that section.
 Membership in these clubs en- tails a pledge on the part of each to spurn all paper dollars and to use nothing but silver in monetary transactions.
 The idea is to create a greater demand for silver and increase the rrice of the commodity. Approval of the movement by Treasurer Woods was sought.

DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR

He wrote them saying they were on the wrong road. The fact that they used only silver dollars would help the situation not at all, he declared.
 "These people don't seem to realize" says Woods, that for ev- cry paper dollar we issue there's a silver dollar backing it up in the Treasury here at Washington
 f'Why we have actually coined s54O. .OO0 O00 in silver dollars. Of tlsat amount $485 100000 is stored away in the vaults of the Treas ury. Some $45 100000 is in actual circulation
 'In one room we have $50, 0,000,- GOO in silver dollars stored. A bag containing 1000 weighs 59 pounds. When we start to count all we have on hand it takes around six weeks with a large crew of men working steadily.
 Ut would be a big load off our shoulders to get rid of them
 Actually if everybody decided to exchange their paper dollars for the "cartwheels' it would not mean that the production of sil- yer would be increased thereby, the Treasurer asserted. No silver dol lars would increase activity. The result of such move would be to open the vaults of the Treasury, he said.
 The 485,00O,O00 stored there would be the silver put into cir culatlon.
 SAVING FOR UNCLE SAM
 Uncle Sam would welcome such a proposition, for it would mean an actual saving to him. Dollar bilfs cost him about penny each. The average life of the bill IS about nine months.
 The "cartwheel" continues ln circulation indefinitely.

and opened a broadside and an infant

raised and he was taken, indicted and
tried, and for lack of evidence-one
witness who testified positively to his

There is something decidedly wrong

Gone are the days Of Winter carni-
walls on Pennsylvania avenue, with
gaily caparisoned horses drawing smart
sleighs. bright with rugs and Winter
garments. making the most of the snow
that packed firmly on the stones of the
old pavement. They were an almost
regular institution. When the Avenue
was paved with asphalt the SHOWS
melted more quickly and sleighing be-
came rare. When Winter street clean

was removed as fast as it fell-if plans

Submarine Disaster Raises

''Subma rine disasters in the past IS
years have taken about 725 lives. Brit
ish submarines have lost heaviest, with
a total of 222 casualties, not counting
the toll Of the M-2, while other nation
alities have suffered as follows: jap

Giving similar attention to the his
tory of such craft, the New Castle News
says: The M-2 began her life as the
K-l9. The K class Of submarine has
had an unlucky history. The XII, K-4
and KIT were sunk in war time colli-

dent and the KS sank In the channel

Various theories about the M-2 are

The Skating Championship.

The United States has swept all other
nations aside in its triumphant progress
to the skating championships of the
Winter Olympic games now being
staged at Lake Placid, N. Y. In
winning the four major events of the
competition, at five hundred meters,
fifteen hundred meters, five thousand
meters and the ten thousand meters
final, America has demonstrated un-
disputed superiority on the ice. To
two young American boys must go the
entire credit. Irving Jaffee, who learned
to skate at an indoor rink near his
home in New York City, broke through
a field Of the fastest and most skillful
skaters of many nations to annex two
OF the events. Jack Shea, Dartmouth
sophomore. completed the overwhelming
victory for his country by winning the
other two.
1t now remains for the American
bobsled team to show its mettle in the
contests which start today on the fast
Mount van Hoevenberg course, which
has already accounted for serious in
juries to four of the German racers.
Inspiration aplenty has been given
them by the valiant deeds of their
colleagues in the skating championships.

famed question in regard to the re-
llgion OF the President of China. Mr..
Haskln In reply cited Chiany Kai-Shek,
although noting that he was no longer
President of China. He stated that
Chang Kai-Shek had married a
Christian Chinese woman and that
there were so many Christians in his
cabinet that he was generally ranked
as Christian. All of this is entirely
correct, but Mr.. Haskin did not state
that in October, $780, Chang Kai-Shek
was baptized into the Methodist Church
remember reading the announcement
of this in The Star
The Star also printed, about the time
the Manchurian situation began to be
acute. message from President Chang
Kai-Shek to the Christian people of the
world to the effect that in Christianity
lay the only hope for world peace.
Moreover I am informed by former
resident of China, who keeps in close
touch with Chinese affairs, especially
religious affairs, that not long before
his resignation the President called q
meeting at his home of missionaries
and Christian leaders for the purpose of
discussion and prayer as to his
Christian duty in the existing condi-
tions. And when he was asked what
they could do to help he replied: TRY
to help the Chinese people to keep con-
troll of themselves"
This seems the more significant in
that at one time Chang Kai-Shek was
intensely opposed to Christianity.

Salvation Army
Members Must Stand Apart

that he IS much wiser and better spir-
itually, morally and mentally for going

from being a recipient of that knowl-
edge? If so, he or she has either to
enter into the category of the hypo-
crite, made SO by the regulations. by
going to see the film in secret, or he
or SIZE becomes foolish in not welcom-
ing the means of education.
The army's position is clear enough.
We are a people set apart for special
service to God and humanity, following
the lines so securely laid down by the
founder OF the movement, a man whose
divine inspiration and insight are be-
coming more and more apparent as the
years progress. He saw the necessity
for Salvationists to be separate
people, clean cut from worldly pleas
ures and practices and devoted to the
task OF winning men and women to
God. Today it is as imperative as ever
that We should stand apart, even in
circumstances when the issue is not
quite as clear as in other cases, making
such sacrifices as are necessary in order
to maintain our position. No one is
forced into Salvation soldiership. It is
willing, joyful service in which we
are as much expected to observe the
whole rules as Is foot baller expected
to pay scrrpulous attention to the

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

to rediscover q prize passage cannot De
explained in so mechanical q fashion.
One found q certain thought. very
neatly put, In so and So. Tnere Is no
reasonable doubt that It was there.
The memory stands out too plain.
The only trouble Is to find 1t again!
The first line Of attack, that Of dip
ping around, down at the bottoms OF
certain pages, fails miserably.
There is nothing to do but bring up
the heavy artillery, and read the whole
book again, with the thought sought
uppermost, so that one will recognize
it when one sees it.
The campaign appears perfect.
1t cannot get away this time!
But there are several ways 1t can
escape. While the reader is holding
the thought securely in his mind,
maybe even bit of the exact wording,
the inherent interest of the work gets
in its old-time effect
The book interested the reader once.
1t can do 1t again, and it does. No
matter how tenaciouSly he holds to the
idea of finding the lost passage, the
bigger interest of the book as a book
causes him to forget the passage at
times. And, without doubt, just wher
ne SnOulo remember!
Il 4 *E
The second reason lost passage can
not be brought to light is that, OBJ
viouSly, 1t may not strike one at all q
second time.
The human mind Is a queer instru-
ment, and queerest, one may think, in
dealing with its own, which are
thoughts. Thoughts are more elusive
than soap bubbles in a wind. They
come, they glitter, they disappear
A reader brings more to a book than
is commonly believed. He brings him
self. The book is not all that Is there.
From some aspects it is not the most
important thing there. What the
reader does to the book is just as i'm
portant as what the book does to him.
Sometimes in reading the processes
of thought form up one way, another
time another way, so that the difference
between the two readings Is amazing
although the words are exactly the
same.
The third reason a sought passage
may not be found lies in the fact that
sometimes book may so educate a
reader that by the time he finishes II
his whole thought processes on the SUBJ
ject are changed.
He has revised them. himself, with
the authors help. The result Is, when
he goes back to the book a second
time, he does not see the authors
thoughts in exactly the same light he
did the first time.
A good book is like a symphony
| some passages will strike one as
glorious, at the first hearing. which q
, second reveals as commonplace
whereas this movement, this chapter
which sounds only blurry, at the second
hearing develops into the most ex-
quisite music Of the afternoon.
The plain fact is, as every reader
knows. that sometimes an interesting
quotation" will elude one and never
be found again. Perhaps it is just as
well. 1t is good to know, in small
affairs, that our searching is not al
ways fruitful. that we cannot always be
successful. Failure is Just as inherent
in the scheme of things as success
The great book of common sense
teaches one that.
