from the banks, with resultant weakening of the nations fi- nancial structure.
 If permitted to function nor mally, the supply of gold is more than adequate to meet demands, but when the de- mands for gold in exchange for currency reach a point where they threaten to absorb the 40 per cent of gold behind the notes and to leave unpayable millions of dollars of curren- cy-represented by the ap- proximately 60 per cent more paper than there is gold there obviously must occur a general weakening of the mon- etary system, as each dollar of gold taken out of circulation removes the backing, or secur- ity from $2.50 worth of cur rency.

A three-story concrete exter- for, with frame interior, hotel is to be constructed in Hyder, according to announcements of Seattle and Alaskan capitalists made recently in Seattle. The hotel will be called the "Suth- erland" and will have rooms on the ground floor for business concerns, with two upper floors for accommodation of the travel ing public, and will be steam heated and electric lighted. The plans call for construction of 40 rooms. It is to be ready for occupancy by June 15 and the estimated cost will be $50,- 900, the reports said.

That the tunnel on the Inde- pendence is, and has been for some time, in a solid body of high grade milling ore, with a large proportion that can be sorted and shipped without milling, is the word brought down this week by Jack Fitz- gerald, who went up to see how Owney McFadden and Eli Watland, who are driving the tunnel, are getting along.

 Harry Hummel and Harold Johnson were down this week from the Cripple Creek prop erty, where they are driving a tunnel. The tunnel is in 45 feet and the ore is showing heavier mineraliz a ion as depth is gained. Judge James Wickersham, J. w. Kehoe and Lockie McKinnon of Juneau, and Commissioner John w. Frame of Hyder, are interested in the property.

Gold A Yardstick

Modern finance Is more or less of a mystery to the average person, hence we are not sur prised at the many inquiries made as to the reasons why the recent withdrawals of gold by individuals from the nat ions banks not only precipited the so-called "bank holiday" but also imperilled our entire financial structure.
 Many persons cannot under stand how it can be that with more than a third of all the worlds gold in our possession the metal must be so carefully conserved in order to avoid some sort of financial disaster.
 The answer, reduced to the simplest terms, is that gold is no longer a general financial commodity as it was several decades ago, but has become a sort of financial yardstick- a measure of wealth by which virtually all other concrete val ues are measured. The metal no longer circulates generally. The average man seldom sees, let alone owns, a gold piece. The nations gold is held in the banks as the security or back ing for the great volume of paper currency which forms the ordinary money of com merce.
 A major portion of this cur rency, however, is redeemable in gold on demand, so that a holder of gold notes can go to the bank and demand and re- ceive gold for his paper money. Coupled with this is the fact that there is much more gold backed paper money in circu- lation than there is actual gold to secure it on the basis of dol lar for dollar. The normal gold reserve for federal reserve bank notes is 40 per cent, whereas there is issued against each dollar in gold around $2.50 in paper currency.
 Thus if all holders of federal | reserve currency should de- mand gold for their paper, the amount of gol d available would not be adequate to meet the demand by more than one third.
 This was what was happen ing when the President de- clared the national bank holi- day; the effect of which was to prevent withdrawals of gold

If the rank and file of those Japanese and Chinese armies ever find out what all the shooting is about it will be real news to them.

 Democracy is a form of gov ernment in which those who holler the loudest get what they want.
 One nice thing about that bank holiday was that debtors got an even break with cred itors.

Goodman, New Open Golf King,
Like Jones, Hagen and Ouimet,
Is Self-Made; Started as Caddy

his play with a mashie and mashie-
niblic been equaled The manner in
which he dropped his approaches dead
to the pins left all of the great pro-
fessionals gasping.
The soundness of Goodman's short
game will make him a championship
contender for years to come. Only %
years of age and just starting to put on
some muchly needed weight, his long
game will improve, although it is good
enough at the moment.
GOODMAN learned a very valuable
" lesson in winning the Open That
was never ease up" or in the
parlance of the gaming tables, never
give sucker a break" Goodman did
net collapse en- the fourth round, when
he almost lost the title, and neither did
he wilt from the intense heat. But
after going into the fourth round with
four holes Of the final match in three
under par. he attempted to play safe.
The writer has seen other great golfers
meet with disaster from the same rea-
son. Keep hitting the ball." is the
advice any old campaigner will give a
young golfer and Johnny will remember
that in the future.
Goodman lost the 1882 national anna
teur title to c. Ross Somerville for the
same reason. Leading two up at the
end of 81 holes, Goodman attempted
to play conservatively. His shots be-
gan to slip and Somerville snatched the
lead to win. Having learned that les
son, Goodman will play out the string
in the future. Had he done so at North
Shore, he might have shattered the low
scoring mark of 286, held by Chick
Evans and Gene Sarazen A IA on the
final round would have done that trick,
but Goodman did not hit the ball
Goodman is the second smallest man
ever to win the national open cham
pionship. Perhaps he is even smaller
than Cyril Walker. the 1924 champion,
and his only rival for place in the
midget class of golf After seeing
Goodman win, the writer knows what
Bob Jones meant when he argued that
a golfer Is not an athlete. A Dempsey
physique is no good to a golfer unless
he has form and the shots. Goodman
has those requisites.

six stars returning to de-
~ fend their National Col
legiate Athletic Association
track and field records at Soldier
Field Saturday only Ralph Met
calfe, Marquette's Negro sprint
marvel, figures as a certain re-
peater.
Metcalfe won both the 100 and 220
yard dashes year ago, and more than
ever appears to be the best sprinter in
the country, if not in the world.
Chief interest will center around the
attempt of Glenn Cunningham Of Kan
sas, the country's greatest miller, to win
the half mile and the mile against rare
competition. Charles Hornbostel of In
diana will oppose him in both races, and
In the half mile blazing Ben Eastman
of Stanford will be ready for his best
effort of the season.
Jack Keller of Ohio State, winner Of
the 22O-yard low hurdles last year In
227 seconds, and second in the l20-
yard highs. will face all kinds Of star
performers this year.
The other two defending champions,
Willis Ward, Michigan's Negro all-around
star, in the high jump and Irving Seeley
of Illinois in the pole vault, are up
against stiff battles to repeat.
Ward faces Bob Van Osdel of South
ern California; Duncan McNaughton,
another Trojan, who won the event in
