might logically have been expected.
The gold equivalent of the OK. because
infinitely more convenient. became the
accepted medium Of exchange. So

of gold actually came to be known as
an OK Then. slowly. the OK itself

finally passing completely out of the
picture. Gold by slow process of evo-
luton emerged not merely as the me-
dunn Of exchange, but also as the
standard Of value.
money did not follow this precise course
in every part of the world Thousands
Of commodities have served at various
times and in various places as the
standard of value and the medium Of
exchange. Slowly but surely, however,
this almost unconscious cropping for a
satisfactory form Of commodity money
has converged on the precious metals,
for they, more than any other COM
modities. possess the qualities most de-
sirable and necessary for that purpose.
Real Money Came Slowly.
There remained one step. however,
before what economists refer to as real
money" made its appearance. One Of
the requisites of real money" is that
it be "custonIarily received without
assaying or special tests of quality or
quantity" That was not true Of the
slater Of gold which, along with the
shekel, the mark. the pound and the
tael was strictly unit Of weight and
had to be measured out at each trans
action.
The transition of gold and silver from
the state Of commodity money" to real
money came with the introduction Of
coinage. Most historians think the
birthplace of coins was Lydia, an ancient
kingdom of Asia Minor noted for its
mineral wealth, where gold and silver
stamped ingots circulated as early as
the ninth century BIC. Coins were pro-
duced first, not by the king nor the
state, but by private merchants. This
period Of private coinage was brought to
an end when Gyges. most illustrious Of
all the Lydians. having amassed for
tune as a merchant, seized the crown
and at the same time claimed coinage
as a royal attribute Coinage today is
regarded as prerogative of the state,
or state agency, among all civilized
countries.
The notion that gold as a basis of
money is merely conventional sort Of
fetish-is totally fallacious. Gold has
come to its place of high esteem
throughout the world by natural selec-
ton, process Of elimination involving
the experiences of thousands of years
and of thousands of civilizations.

Public Works Administrator to
Hasten Expenditure of Funds
Allotted.

Secretary Ickes, public works admin
istrator, has ordered the Inauguration Of
day and night shifts in the Public
Works Administration to hasten the ex-
penditure of the 81 500 ,000. 900 already
allotted
The new schedule was to take effect
today. 1t was explained that the pres
ent schedule of day, night and Sunday
work by single shift is exhausting the
workers, and lack of adequate space
prohibits enlargement of the present
day force The use OF two shifts will
permit the utilization Of all existing IA
cilities for Fastening new public works.
Co. H. M. Waite last night urged
non-Federal organizations to hasten
their applications since Federal agencies
were seeking additional funds and
promising to spend them Immediately
if obtained.

FOR RETAIL CODE
Compact Likely to Receive
Presidential Favor With
in Few Days.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite the furore raised around the
pricc-control provisions Of the retail
code, there were indications today the
compact might receive presidential ap-
proval within few days.
With Hugh S. Johnson, the industrial
administrator. still at Walter Reed Hos
pital receiving treatment for an infec-
ton, other officials busied themselves
with the retail code and q number of
hearings.
Progress was made toward settling
wage rate disputes with the Alabama
and West Kentucky bituminous coal
operators who have refrained from
signing the coal code.
Hotel Hearing Continued.
hearing was continued on the pro-
posed code for the hotel industry. with
prospects for extensive revision after
William Green, president Of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, had declared
it offered hotel employees little improve
ment In wages and hours.
On the retail code 1t was not definite
whether the provisions requiring sub
stantially all retail trade sales be made
at or above minimum price represent
ing wholesale cost plus 10 per cent would
be approved by the President without
modification.
N. r. AS own economists and law
yers have been studying the provision
carefully and there has been manifest
extreme reluctance to sanction it, espe-
cially in the light Of protest from con-
sumner groups. which fear 1t may be-
come precedent for outright price
fixing
Officials said today. however. they
were surprised at the small volume
of objections filed since publication
of the revised agreement last week
Actually. they said. less than one-half
of l per cent of the communications
received were protests against this pro-
vision.
Aimed to End Practice.
Endorsement of this feature. repre-
Sented by the trade as being aimed
primarily to end the practice of selling
"loss leaders" which are standard
items sold below cost to attract Gus
toners. who may then be sold more
profitable goods. has come primarily
from small independent merchants.
The revised code has been made pub
lie, officials said. with the deliberate
idea Of drawing trade reaction. favor
able and unfavorable. SO sentiment OF
the unorganized storekeepers could be
ascertained and that. following ap-
proval of the code. it could not be said
that any interests had been denied
consideration.
For the past two weeks the code has
been under continuous consideration,
not only at the N r. A. but with Presi-
dent Roosevelt who was represented to-
day as already fully acquainted with all
angles involved.

"Yes, sir
