Vasco Improves.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 3.-Little Helen
Vasco will go home Friday to a mother
who now is convinced the operation
which removed the child's left eye was
"all for the best"
Mrs. John Vasco Of Hastings-on- -Hud-
son, who had opposed the operation so
bitterly that high court had to order
it, visited the little girl at hospital
here.
Judge George w. Smyth Of Westches-
ter Children's Court, who originally Or
dered the operation. said the mother
was happy and satisfied.
The operation was ordered because
physicians said malignant tumor be-

tain definite proportion of that weight.
1t is not distinguishable, as we think in
principle, from contract to deliver an
equal weight of bullion of equal
fineness"
Creditor May Claim Gold.
A second case handed down in the
same year by the Supreme Court, sub
stantially reiterated the same conclu-
sion. Three years later third case
was argued involving promissory note
which one individual gave to another
and which was payable in specie"
The court said:
Here the terms, in specie, are merely
descriptive of the kinds of dollars in
which the note is payable, there being
different kinds in circulation. recog-
nized by law. They mean that the des-
1gnated number of dollars in the note
shall be paid in SO many gold or silver
dollars of the coinage of the United
States. They have acquired this mean
ing by general usage among traders,
merchants and bankers. and are the
opposite of the terms, in currency,
which are used when it is desired to
make a note payable in paper money"
Stripped of legal technicalities, these
court trulings-maintain certain banking
uthorities-sustain the right of credi-
tor to claim payment either in coin or
specie where the contract calls for such
payments, or for an adjustment in the
amount payable under the contract to
give effect to the depreciation of cur
rency in terms of gold
Strictly speaking, therefore, it is
pointed out, at least $4,000, 100000 of
debt will be affected by any new de-
cision as to the validity of the gold
clause, If a test case Is brought.
Bankers Indignant.
Indignation was expressed in impor-
tant Wall Street international banking
quarters today over published comment
in London describing American refusal
to pay interest in gold on bonds held
abroad as a breach of contract.
One prominent banker said that at a
time when the United States had to
cease redeeming its own currency for
its own nationals in gold, 1t would be
manifestly unfair and wholly improp-
err to favor holders of bonds by pay
ing gold either at home or abroad.
It was explained that when Great
Britain left the gold standard more
than a year ago, holders of sterling Sc
curities had to take deprecated pounds
for both interest and dividends.
While a huge amount of American
securities are held abroad, variously
estimated in Wall Street at around
s2,000,000,000 worth these securities are

WASHINGTON, June %. - DON
aid Hubbard Sawyer is a Republican
and he doesn't care who knows it..
He also is such an expert civil en-
gineer that he holds the job as ad-
ministrator for the Roosevelt public
works program.
Sawyer's appointment is tenn
porary, contingent upon the admin
istration being able to find Demo-
crat who can do the job as we'll as
he does. Indications are, however,
that he will go down as the only
Republican official in this Democra-
tic regime.
That is because he is one of the
most eminently well-f1tted men in
the nation TO spend So 300, 100000 on
public building projects.
Built Traction Lines
He has built traction systems,
skyscrapers and army camps. He
has laid out cities and mapped
roads. He is as much at home be-
hind surveyors tripod as he is
behind mahogany desk.
In his new Office at the interior
department he has no vast expanse
OF mahogany before him. He uses
secondhand desk retrieved from a
clerk who moved out when he
moved in. He has two small rooms.
He works in one of them.
A pair of stenographers in the
otter Office steers a horde of job and
loan seekers away from their chief.
Between times the stenographers
answer the one telephone, which
rings constantly.
Sawyer Speaks Slowly
Sawyer is tall, lean and tanned.
He looks like the handsome engi-
neer in the movies, except that he
has curl of whitening hair which
bangles over his left eye He
brushes back the curl every now and
again but it always returns.
He speaks slowly, deliberately and
politely. That takes time because
there are scores of daily visitors
whom the stenographers can't head
off. Sawyer thus works usually from
$3.50 a. m. to 1890 p. m.
Recently he issued an appeal for
delegations of state and municipal
dignitaries to stay at home instead
of coming to see him for loans he
can't grant. He explained that I'M
der the law such loans first must be
approved by two engineers and one
administrator to be appointed in
each state. The latter still have not
been named. Sawyer said he hoped
the statement would keep some Wis
itors away.
Delegations Still Coming
Apparently they ignored it. The
delegations still are coming. A re-
cent one was headed by Mayor

for the farmer. For the pork turned
over to the Red Cross would displace
the supply which that organization
would have to buy anyhow, so that
the same old surplus would still be
with US.
So, once started on it's program of
getting the little pigs to market there
seems nothing for the government to
do but to feed the catfish and furnish
an official, if undesirable, odor for the
Century of Progress.
It will be noted that while disposing
of their pigs to Uncle Sam, the farm
ers are not availing themselves of the
administration invitation to sell
their brood sows to the government,
too. There is sound reasoning in this,
If the governments pig dumping pro-
gram temporarily raises the price of
hogs, the farmers, with their brood
sows on the job, will be ready to raise
another bumper crop of pigs next
spring crop to sell to the
government at premium prices. And
so on through the years.
All of which should remind us of
the old saying that it takes pretty
hefty man to life himself over the
fence by his own bootstraps.

AID TO EDUCATION

Strong pressure in favor of federal
aid to the country's public, schools
is expected at the next session of
Congress, as result of the financial
pinch education is experiencing from
the prolonged depression. That it is
an altogether desirable tendency is
unquestioned. @'r - :
Youth everywhere seek avenues
that will lead them onward and up
ward. They turn to schools and col
leges, often to find that the increased
tuition rates, abandoned courses, de-
creased opportunities for part-time
employment and empty loan funds
make more difficult their journey.
"The glory of Americas schools"
says DR.. John j. Tigert, former Unit
ed States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, now president of the University
of Florida, "seems to me to lie in the
fact that popular support is back of
them. The community with a pas
sion for learning will somehow pro-
vide facilities for it and utilize them,
for it must love them, or it would not
provide them, perhaps in the face of
difficulties"
DR.. Tigert, evidently, questions the
advisability of federal help for pub
lie schools.
Still, for all that, communities have
faced serious financial problems. Some
have piled up fiscal deficits. Many
have sought to solve their problems
as fairly and wisely as possible. 1t
were well, however, for some to pause
and reflect that as schools decrease
their budgets and their service, the in
creased idleness and misdirection of
the young will undoubtedly prove det-
rimental.
If necessary, we believe federal aid
for education should be given. Econ
omy in the expenditure of public funds
is necessary. Waste should not be toll
Grated. 1t is, however, vital to the
welfare of society that schools and the
means of enlightenment, culture and
spiritual growth, be not curtailed.
Many things are more costly in their
absence than when established and
maintained by public funds. One of
them is education.

TIGER GETS A JOLT

Commenting on the fact that "this
is bad day for political bosses," the
Baltimore Sun draws attention to the
severe jolt Tammany got last week in
the primaries. 80;
"In New York." says The Sun,
"Tammany, as the result of something
approaching a debacle, is confronted
by a revolt of number of its stall
warts and the loss of three of it's dis
trict leaders in addition to suffering
a singing defeat-that of its candi-
date for comptroller
Truly this does not seem to be
good year for political bosses. 1t has
become the fashion to throw scares
into the leaders who control city poll
tics. Tammany is one of the latest
to experience this sensation. Even
though the bosses did succeed in NOM
mating Mayor O'Brien, they are not
happy. The reason is that Frank j.
Prial won the nomination for comp
troller by plurality of $4,000. PriaI
was -Tammany.
There is more to this setback for
Tammany in New York. 1t is limited
that President Roosevelt may exert
pressure to have Mayor O'Brien with
draw in favor of Joseph V. Mckee,
who made such good record as act
ing-mayor when Jimmie Walker quit
rather suddenly. In the meanwhile,
more distressing to the Tammany
chieftains, the Fusion movement
headed by Major LaGuardia seems to
be making some progress. 1t is bound
to benefit by the seeming confusion
existing among the Tammanyites.
To lose primary election is an in
dication that Tammany is weakening
Tammany has big breaks in it's own
ranks. Tammany cannot afford pri-
mary failure such as this one was.
An army that is united can afford an
occasional failure, but Tammany, with
breaks in its own ranks, the worst
may be expected for the Tiger.
