Scrip And Barter Asssy ssb:t;t Ms.s

BY J. r. BRACKET
(By Associated PFeHs)

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-Always
on the hunt for more money, men
have made it out of everything
from fishhooks and cheese to gold
and faith in government.
Today, in some parts of ,Amerl-
ca, even the promise to pay in
goods and services is being made
into money. This is the money
used by the nations unemployed
in their barter and exchanges,
about $50 of which have been or
ganized in the United States since
the depression. This money is
scrip, simply a promises to pay the
bearer goods and services.
Yet. while the unemployed seek
to make more money, the United
States in recent months has had
more money in circulation than at
any time in it's history-that is,
more coins and bills. There is
more in circulation today than
there was in 1929. What is this
paradox?
AS Prof. Ray Rogers, of New
York University, points out, the
paradox is simply that the money
that circulates in the form of bills
and coins is but a fraction of the
total stuff that is used for money.
The major part of our money is
bank deposits.
No Shortage Of Money
On June 80, 1882, total bank de-
posits stood at $41,963,00 900
At the same time total bills and
coins in circulation totaled about
SIS, 500, 100000. If all the deposit
tors suddenly asked the banks for
their money it would be utterly
impossible to satisfy the demand.
There is no shortage of money;
rather, there is a shortage of cir
culation of money, Rogers says.
Professor Rogers explains that
the bills and coins amount in effect
to the nations change. The bank
deposits are the most important
money.
Money nowadays thus is based
largely on credit, on faith that de-
posts may be turned into bills and
coin and ultimately into gold--and
there is only some $12, 000.0OO,O00
of monetary gold in the whole
world. 'at
Swapping Came First

of thousands of years. First man

or goods for services, method he
has never completely ceased using.

backed by only 40 per cent gold,
and bank deposits, of course, have
a much smaller theoretical gold
value.
What the next step will be is a
puzzle for economists. The COM
plete elimination of gold has been
suggested by some as a possibility.
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale univer-
sity has urged the adoption of a
money based purely on faith, its
value regulated according to an
index of commodities.
Many economists doubt that
scrip will ever become a money of
national Importance, although its
use may spread as barter grows.
Suggest Energy Money
Two of the most revolutionary
of recent suggestions have been
for money based on electric en-
ergy and another for certificate
of exchange based on all energy.
Neither would have any value ex-
cept in exchange for goods.
But the opinion of the economist
of one of the nations largest banks
is that money will continue to
evolve through the same process of
trial and error that has brought it
to its present state.

Reddy had stepped as near to that
trap as he had dared and then jumped.
He had left a trail easy to follow and
that Dog was following it fast. This
was what Reddy wanted. The faster
he came the more likely he was to step
in that trap.
If he doesn't step in it or if it fails
to work I'll never see Mrs. Reddy and
the Old Pasture again." thought Reddy
and shivered. Il hate traps. I hate to
have any one caught in trap. I never
and 1 certainly do hate to make use
of it now. I wouldn't if I didn't just
have to-"
Out of the bushes burst the young
Dog He was Hound and had already
proved that he was well trained in fol-
lowing Foxes. He was a valuable Dog.
OF course, he had no business to be
hunting at this season of the year.
The truth Of the matter is that he had
slipped away from home and gone
hunting by himself His master knew
nothing about it. He was new to that
part of the country. He had been sent
and that was why Reddy Fox had not
recognized him at once.
Out of the bushes he burst. his nose
to the ground. his head lifting only
to bay his eagerness and pleasure in
the chase Out of the bushes he burst
and straight for those two big stones.
Would he stop when he reached them?
Would he make long jump as Reddy
had? Reddy shook all over as he
waited.
On came the Dog and without hesi-
tating started between those two big
stones. His clear, steady baying broke
into a sharp yelp, followed by more
yelps. He was thrown heels over head
and had been stopped short by that
wicked steel trap which now held fast
in its terrible jaws his right forefoot.
Reddy waited only long enough to
make sure that that Dog would not be
able to get out of that trap, then trot-
ted off a short distance and lay down
for the rest he had to have. He was
completely used up, was Reddy. Had
not that trap done its work, that Dog
would have caught and killed Reddy.
Il hated to do it. Yes, sir, hated
to do it." muttered Reddy. But I had
to. It was the only way. I hope his
master or some one will find him soon:
1t must hurt lot, to judge by the
sound of his voice. I'm sorry. 1 really
am. But what else could do?"
The Dog had been yelping Justify, but
now he was whining. After a while
Reddy stole back to where he could
see that Dog. The trap was fast to his
right forepaw. Every moment or two
he licked It. The chain of the trap
was fastened to small log Already
this had been dragged some distance.
But it was continually catching in
bushes and on stones. each time bring
ing the Dog up with a sharp. yelp OF
pain. At last it caught in such a way
that it held. The Dog could not pull
it loose.
Then he began to howl. He pointed
his nose to the sky and howled and 1t
seemed to Reddy that it was the most
mournful sound he ever had heard, for
in it were great pain. fear, hopeless
ness. Reddy wanted to get away from
it. He turned back toward home In the
Old Pasture.
Traps are hateful things, unfair
things, cruel things" said he.

The club members sent for the life
size direction sheet. This pattern does
not allow for seams, so in cutting they
made seam allowance. Ordinarily
for a large quilt they used quarter
inch seam. That would prove too large
on this tiny quilt. so they allowed only
one-eighth of an inch.
Then. too, the quilt will not be sub
jected to the strain which comes when
large one is stretched faulty on
frame.
The club members used number so
or 60 thread for piecing quilts. They
were careful to have a good knot at the
beginning and two or three firm over
and-over stitches to finish off the seam.
If this was not done, the seams began
to pull apart.
The seams were all started in one
eighth of an inch from ends and from
sides. In a large quilt the depth in
was one-quarter Of an inch. If this
amount is left unsewn at the end. it
makes it possible to put pieces together

Uncommon Sense
White Collars

w YHEN times are not so good, 1t
n is a little more difficult to
wv get jobs, and many young
men suddenly discover that
dirt isn't dangerous. The
day when the white collar was regard
ed as the guarantee of gentility Is
rapidly passing:
Part Of the change Of feeling, which
began 80 or 40 years ago. was due to
the boys who were studying mechanics
had to get into their overalls and stay
there for four or five hours day.
They all found out, by and by, that
there was nothing poisonous about
grease and CRIME, and that they didn't
even feel degraded when their hands
and faces were not immaculate.

and the pompous papas who tell sonny
boy that it isn't quite gentlemanly to
wear greasy clothes while at work, and
that being seen on the street partially
concealed behind oil and SCOT Is
dreadful thing.
Once, when a reporter, I was sent
to get an interview from great
,vsicist, whose name is now known
on both sides Of the ocean and who
then was conducting series OF ex-
periments which later on earned him
wide fame.
I arrived at his laboratory during
the recess hour. when the students
had gone out for lunch. I saw lean,
spare man bending over a table who
turned toward me when I said Good
afternoon"
At first glance I. thought that he
belonged to another and darker race
than ours-I mistook him for the jan
itor or whatever they call the clean
up men in laboratories.
Where can I find the professor"
I asked
what professor" he countered.
Prof M said I.
That's my name" he said. "How
the hell did you get in here?"
When he found out, he told me, in
terms simple enough for an ignorant
man to understand. all I could grasp
about his experiment

He was completely unconscious OF

in and look at him curiously. Then
he explained that something had ex-
ploded when 1t shouldn't, and that he
was too near the apparatus when it
happened.
I wondered at the time what some of
the fussy people who admired this man
would have thought of him If they had
seen him with that black face and
those greasy and chemical-spotted
clothes
Then it occurred to me that what
such people thought would have made
no difference whatever to such a man,
and that, after all, people who would
be shocked at his appearance wouldn't
have opinions of any value.
