CINCINNATI, Ohio, Dec. 30.-
 There is much more in name even a middle name = than w. Shakespeare ever dreamed of, Da- v.d Byron Walker, 1135 East Third Street, learned in the Domestic Re- lations Division of the Hamilton County Court Of Common Pleas.
 Walker, who is AZ years old was before Judge Charles w Hoffman, seeking to be divorced from Martha Walker, 40, whom he married on Christmas Eve, 1910. He didn't get his divorce, but he did get fairly comprehensive legal education. II had to be comprehensive to cover the complications that arose when Judge Hoffman began probing into his marital status.
 Walker learned, among other things, that if you marry woman under one part of your name you must be divorced from her under that identical name or it doesn't count.
 Perhaps it would be simpler to go about his cllronologically.
 Byron Walker married Martha in 1910. In 1915 they separated. Wal ker joined the army during the World War. When he returned to

COMMISSIONER BELL MAKES GOOD
 HIS PLEDGE.

When Frank T. Bell, United States Commissioner of Fisheries in Alaska holding hearings last Summer he pledged every audience he had to give due and proper consideration to the claims of local fishermen and labor and to take into consideration, also the human Clement connected with the fish cries inoustry lie said plainly he believed that fishermen .ising in Alaska ought to have oppor- tuniJy To ply tleu ealing a. profit, and that persons residing ne4e ought be given work in the plants processing raw materials. He went further and declared lac would make an effort to help bring these talnga 4noI.
 While the 1854 lshes.es regulations just issued have been received nere in mere outline form which a necessarily limited to the main changes from existing regulations without going into ex- tended detail regarding them, it seems evident that MT. Bel has honestly endeavored to fulfill his pedge has permanently closed 93 fish traps, thus following policy lnaugurated few years ago. He has, however, gone beyond that He has opened fishing grounds that for several years have been closed to sene.s and other forms of movable gear. He has also opened for 30-day period a number Of bays and lnets into which spawning streams flow and in winch heretofore all commercial fishing prohibited.
 Undoubtedly trap reduction works to limit the total trap take and tends to make the canners dependent upon seine-caught fish The lib- eIalzation of the regulations affecting seines will throw open grounds to them and enable the seiners to take fish than in the past. There fore there ought to be increased demand for seine-caught fish and correspondingy increased take to meet the demand.
 Mir Bells authority does not extend to the shore plants of the canning industry He is with out power to induce it to employ local labor than in the past. He urge it and encourage it, and we are sure he be depended to do both
 In his first years regulations he has justified the favorable opinion entertained of him by Alas kans since his visit to the Territory few months ago. Succeeding years, hope will serve to strengthen this.

economic life is, for better worse. enormously increased for long time to come. Government service has taken on new prestige because 1t IS grappling with the vital problem of the national life not through political technic, but through new and business like administrative agencies.
 This is bureaucracy. It is also change in the economic balance of power corresponding to trend in the national economic evolution. The facts of the present situation require the development of co-ordinating mechanisrns of a or less perma nent nature which are neither political nor econ onic but mixture of both. To staff these agencies trained men and women needed. The dignity of Government service has increased because the role of the Government has changed The calber of recruit to Government service is changing in similar fashion.

There's Plenty in Name! So Byron Walker Learns
 As His Past Falls Apart

 Shortly thereafter Walker re- ceived a letter from Martha Wal ker, in Detroit, in which he learn ed that she was still his wife. July 2l, 1926, Freida Portner Walker ob- tained a divorce from David E. Walker. Still having Martha as a wife-in reserve, as it were-Wal- ker decided to divorce her. He sued as David B. Walker. The case came up for hearing recently.
 During the trial it developed that Byron, and not David B. Wal ker, had married Martha, so the case was dismissed because David B. Walker never was married to Martha, although David B. ano Byron are Cor should beO one man.
 Now, it appears, Walker must sue as Byron if he wants divorce from Martha. This is because Da- vid B. and Martha are not husband and wife, in the eyes of the law

American Labor.
(American Labor.)


 In the construction of railroads, canals, dams, harbors great industrial plants and towering build ings down in the muck and mud, in blistering deserts in icy winds high u Lhe steel skeletons of skyscrapers, American labor has never failed to complete the task assigned Labor has bridged rivers and tunneled our mountain ranges. The products of American labor the envy of peoples in other countries throughout the world. But American labor achieved its goal through of the tools and machines the genus of it's craftsmen and science created.
 American labor was never satisfied to continue at back-breakng toll if more effective ways could be devised to do the work at hand Speed and efficiency have always been displayed the big jobs handled by American labor. The mule skinner gave way to the motor truck driver In the mines and rock quarres pick and single and double jack ing gave way to the air drill. The handsaw in building work superseded by the power saw The rveting gun replaced the sedge hammer For every muscle -strainng task tool or machine has been produced that would do the work faster and better. volume could be written on the re- markabe advancement made in farm labor in this country
 Give American labor it's tools and it has no equal Take away it's tools and labor is showed back to the point from which it started Why should labor be hobbled? Why put a premium on retro gresson? You hear many absurd statements to the effect that American labor which its high living standards cannot compete with the cheap labor of other nations. Why should it enter such compe- ttion under rules imposed by those unable to think themselves out of archaic systems of toll?
 Labor has never failed. Our system of distrbut- ing the products of labor has failed. If those who employ labor efficient in overcoming diffi- culties as is American labor, there would be no such hard times have experienced during the last four years Labor resents reversion to man. killing hand labor. Its craftsmen would do worth while work in manner in which the workmen of no other land compete. And in that only lies prosperity and contentment for labor and as a result for the great majority of people
 To take away the tools and machinery of labor is unwise procedure. If abor's capacity to produce must be curtailed it can be done with the shorter working day, the shorter working week. There is no advantage to be gained by attempting to force curtailment in any other way. No permanent pros perity will come to the result of crippling one of the things that has made the nation great

Walker, who, having obtained a divorce from David B. Walker when she was married to Byron Walker. would still be married to Byron if it were not for the fact that she never has been married to Byron because he was married to Martha when he went through the wedding ceremony with her.
 Therefore, although Martha Portner Walker has a divorce from David B. Walker, it isn't any good because she was never married to David B. Walker. And she does not need a divorce from Byron Walker because Byron Walker had wife when he sought to wed her and could not legally marry her Since she was not legally married to him she doesn't need a di- vorce.
 When all of this finally was ex- plained to David Byron Walker he walked from the court room nut tering that if he had some ham he would have some ham and eggs if he had some eggs.

THE DRIFT TO WASHINGTON.

Thoughtful residents of Washington and visitors to the National capital well have remarked on the change of personnel that is taking place there In the new agencies hastily thrown together to meet emergencies. there more young and of the sort that would be expected to enter the professions, business or banking. There are surprisingly many in these ranks who youthful gra iuates of colleges and schools of business ad- ministraton and who in the ordinary course would ent-r business profession without for moment con-idering taking Government job
 Of course, in part this is due to depressed conditions and unemployment in business. But in greater part the motivation of the drift to Wash ng.on is more fundamental. Young men and women

There is another broad cons.d- eration which, to the lay mind is impressive. So far as I know, the United States is the only country not on the gold standard where the advocates of sound money pro- fess to b:lieve that the exchange value of the currency in gold and other currencies is of no import ance provided it is fixed. Here alone it is said that it does not matter where we stabilize if only we stabilize. never heard of a responsible Briton who said that about ths pound. On the contrary the British have fairly precise opinions, not absolutely exact Of course, as to how valuable they can afford to let the pound be Why is it that the upholders of sound money in the United States are so unwilling to discuss the proper valuation of the dollar, and even in many cases profess not to regard the question as important? There is a good reason, think, and one with which it is easy to have a good deal of sympathy. They are afraid that if the ques- tion is debated, if stabilization is not effected in a hurry, the in- fiationists will get the upper hand As between the danger of stabiliz- ing at the wrong level and the danger of hog wild imitation they naturally. and rightly, prefer a blind stabilization.
 So at bottom we are faced with a political question: can the Pres ident keep his control throughout the monetary experiment? If he can, the operation of revaluing the dollar need arouse no more alarm than the equivalent operation in there are great dangers. Therefore. some thirty countries. If he cannot it seems to me that the first con- cern of those who wish to see satisfactory outcome must be to strengthen the Presidents hands by bringing to his support the great mass of moderate opinion.

gold policy hav= undoubtedly main- tained that prices respond auto matically and exactly to the gold value of the dollar, and it IS, of course, easy for the opponents of the policy to show that since Oc- tober 2l they have not responded. This debate does not throw much light on the real problem. For we do not learn what we should do about the currency by showing that some one else has made an extravagant claim. We can take it as certain, I believe, that monetary science is not an exact science. If it were, there would not be vio- lent differences of opinion among experts and among bankers as to what practical policy to pursue. And since there is no exact science men have to form their judgments on a consideration of broad re- suits over reasonably long periods of time.

Now it is open to any one to say that all of this would have hap pened anyway. But it is a most im- pressiye fact that since the dollar has followed the pound, there has been re covery approximately equal to the superdepression which occurred when it did not follow the pound It will, I think, be very hard to convince the lay mind that all of this is accident and CO., incidence.
 Now, I realize that these are rough generalizations and th a t dangerous and unwarranted in ferences might be drawn from them. For example, it does not at all follow that having had some recovery by bringing the dollar into line with the pound, both be- ing depreciated from gold between 90 and 40 per cent, that you can get more and more recovery by more and more debasement. You might get panic and collapse. But the inference is warranted, think. that the British have been justified by the results in depre-

Thus, we may ask ourselves, is it or is it not true that departure from the gold standard and low ering of the value of the currency in terms of gold has something to do with arresting the deflation and reviving business? We know that Great Britain left the gold stan- dard in September. 1881 And we know that between that date and June. 1892, which is usually re- garded as the low point of the world depression, the British index of manufacturing production rose. though very little Cit was 5 per cent). whereas the same index in the three leading gold countries fell 22 per cent for the United States. 9 per cent for France and IT per cent for Germany. Perhaps there was no causal connection be- tween adherence to the gold stan dard and continuing def'ation. but it was at least a most remarkable coincidence For it is a fact, that I believe cannot be disputed, that the gold standard countries sank to a depth of depression which the countries that abandoned gold es- caped.
 Now let us look at our experience after we abandoned gold and left the dollar to depreciate to about the amount which Britain allowed the pound to depreciate. We have seen that Britain to put it quite conservatively, remained at the level of prices and of production pre- vailing in September, 1881, whereas We sank to much lower depths. What has happened since the American dollar has followed the pound away from gold? It can be said broadly that we have re- covered the ground lost since 1881. Taking the Federal Reserve figures as a measure, we find that in Sep tember the adjusted index of ln- dustrial production was back where it was in June of 1881. that fac tory employment was back where it was in August, 1881, that pay rolls were back where they were in October, 1881, that freight car loadings were back where they were about November, 1881, that commodity prices were back to September, 1881, thu at common stocks were back at a point some where between September and No- vember, 1881. that the average price of bonds was nearer the level of November, 1881, than it was at any time while Britain was off and we weSe still on the gold stan dard.
