Dollar Makers
BY GEORGE T. EAGER.

Many an outside observer is mystified
when he tries to reconcile the evidently
intense competition among food spe-
cialties with the steady profits shown
by the manufacturers and distributors
Of the well advertised lines. Can the
market absorb the great increase in the
number and variety of food specialties
available to the housewife?
The demand for variety in foods Is
caused by fundamental changes in

CHICAGO. October 25.-Vigorous ad-
vances swept wheat values more than
4 cents higher today, with the greatest
gains scored in late dealings.
Big margins demanded for specu-
lative transactions tended to keep the
general public from participating as
largely in grain trading as ordinarily.
The main factor was apparently the
new prices of gold under latest plans Of
President Roosevelt.
Wheat closed unsettled. 27sa31a cents

GOLD INITIATION
THEORY EXPLAINED
DEPRECATED Dollar SeeI
Here in President R00Se-
veIt's Program.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

President Roosevelts recent pro-
nouncement of world gold market in
the United States leads capital experts
to believe that he has but one thing
in mind-a deprecated dollar through
gold imitation.
How then does gold initiation op-
crate?
The answer, the consensus of experts
agree, is that gold imitation "a rising
gold price, operates, not by increasing
the currency, but by changing the
standard of value.
In those countries still on the gold
standard money in every form repre-
sents either gold itself, or of some
thing representing gold, or something
that can be exchanged into gold. IN
other words, gold has a COMMONLY
value of its own and it is acceptable
solely on that value, and in this re-
spect all money, everywhere. passes
on this same basis and for the same
reason.
Division Into Smaller Units.
Gold imitation theories operate by di-
viding the dollar into smaller units.
To use an illustrative figure: 1t op-
crates by dividing a bag OF potatoes
into smaller units So far as trans
actions go, half bag of potatoes will
purchase only half what the whole
bag did before because it circulates- on
its inherent value. But, supposing that
the half bag is given name-for in
stance. dollars-and thousands Of peo-
pie owe more dollars than they can
pay. and some presidential edict DEGREES
that half bag of potatoes instead OF
| whole bag shall constitute one dol
| lar. then it is elementary that the posi-
| tion of those who owe Is improved.
To carry out the hypothesis further
A horse worth 100 bags of potatoes
would then be worth 200 bags of pota
/ toes. called 5000 instead of S10O. and
each Of the 200 half bags would pay of
81 in debts
This is the theory Of gold imitation,
experts agree. Gold. having value OF
its own. by setting higher price for
!, the metal, and thus cheapenlng the
dollar. Is said to be exactly similar to
reducing the potatoes in the bag. The
same amount of potatoes would be nee
essary to purchase the horse, but 1t
would be called more dollars than be-
! fore imitation.
Relief for Debtors.
Some Government economists contend
! the sole object Of imitation is to pro-
vide relief for debtors-not necessarily
for the benefit of the debtors. but pri
nlarily because. until debts are dissi-
pated adequately to relieve the markets
from distressed selling to raise funds to
pay debts, there is no way to end price
declines.
In connection with President Roose-
velts resolve to helD the farmer. econo-
mists declare any kind of initiation will
accomplish this end by cheapening the
dollar On the other hand, however,
they declare, only gold initiation will aid
! industry. because industry must have a
staple or managed currency in order
that contracts must be made for future
consummation.

Boys Clubs Effective
In Crime Prevention

To the Editor of The Star:
I have been an avid reader of letters
to the editor published in your paper
and have been very surprised that the
question of crime prevention has not
been given more discussion-this is q
matter of great Importance, involving,
as it does, tremendous amount of
suffering and needless expense.
There are many methods Of crime
prevention being used. One of these,
which seems to be given minimum of
thought and yet promises q maximum
in results, is the boys club movement.
which starts at the bottom and works
up through education in good citizen
ship.
. To eliminate the thief, the gangster
and the bandit of tomorrow, more
thought should be given to the boy of
today.
Although there is no other organiza-
ton more intimately and effectively
in touch with the type of boy who is
actually on the borderline of delin-
quency, it is surprising to noe that
other cities are far ahead of Washing
ton in the number OF boys clubs IN
existence and in the number of boys
wholesomely and constructively served
by them. There is need in this city of
ours for a better understanding of this
work
Police Commissioner Mulrooney of
New York City, said: "One boys club
is worth a thousand policemens' clubs. {"

Czechoslovakian Chairs,
American Typewriters

To the Editor of The Star:
I read with interest statement OF
Representative Mrs. Florence P. Kahn
pointing to the circumstance that Amer
ican legislators sit on chairs made in
Czechoslovakia, and statements OF
others that employees in the new Com
merce Department Building do their
work on furnishings from Czecho-
slovakia.
May be allowed to point out that
Czechoslovak legislators and clerks are
using almost exclusively American type
writer's, American counting machines
and other Office equipment made in
America? May 1 also add that prac-
tically the whole population of Czecho-
slovakia eats California products on
tablecloths made of American cotton?
It may be of interest to know that
the balance of trade with the United
States is unfavorable to CZechoslovakia
in the ration Of 2:1.s If by any
chance this fact will Arouse Czecho-
slovak legislators, as it did Mrs. Kahn,
the resulting reduction Of mutual ex-
change Of goods will hardly act in
favor of American exports. The queS-
ton occurs how thankful for such an
action will be those who on both sides
of the Atlantic are still employed.
