EXPANSION or
CURRENCY HAS
BORAH SUPPORT
Nation Must Act to Avert
Chaos and Disaster.
Says Senator.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press stan Correspondent


WASHINGTON, July 19.-sen-
ator William E. Borah Rep., Ida)
counseled the country today to turn
to currency expansion to avoid
chaos and disaster"
The $1,000 100000 expansion au-
thorized under the home loan bank
Dill is a start toward the honest
dollar" but should be only the be-
ginning, Borah told the United
Press in an exclusive interview. He
declared there could be much fur
ther" expansion without endanger-
ing the nations monetary system.
AS William Jennings Bryan in
1896 campaigned for free coinage of
silver to increase the amount of
money IN circulation, so Borah, lead
er OF the western progressives, now
argues for the same goal through
currency expansion. He said:
There is nothing ahead Of this
country but chaos and disaster UNI
less we boldly undertake to bring
prices back to what they were when
substantial portion of our cur
rency debts were obligated and sta
bilized them there We will say
back to the level of 1926.
We never can pay out under the
present program and under present
conditions. 1t is possible to sta
ollize prices by means of a proper
use OF money. I am of the opinion
that before we return in the au-
tumn, there will be general realiza-
ton that there must be a pro-
nounced expansion of the currency.
The definition of an honest dol
lar is merely dollar which can be
purchased by the same quantity of
commodities today as upon some
agreed previous date.
AN honest is a stable dollar.
1t Is a dollar which, when NOM
mated in contract, does not accen-
tuate the value of that contract by
the mere lapse of time"

''PORK PIE" HATS
NOT FOR SNIFFLERS

Those saucy little pork pie" hats
which perched daringly upon the
heads of beauties of the naughty COS
are back again.
Turned up all around and often
trimmed with tufts of fur, or feathers,
these little hats are worn well for
ward, leaving the starboard and aft
of the head exposed to the cruel winds
of winter. Those smart women, who
do not fear the cold. probably will
wear pork pies" but for those who
sniffle there are other models.
There is one in particular which
covers quite a bit of scalp. 1t really
is a combination of two smaller skull
caps, such as women have been wear
ing. One fits over the front of the
head and the other overlaps and COW
ers the back of the head.
One nice feature of winter Is that
no woman will be forced to wear a
hat because her neighbor does. There
will be fashions for all.
