Dr. Julian S. Miller of the Charlotte Oh
server observes that this country should
not expect to recover as long as it does
nothing about the evil of grooming. DIR.
Miller does not say so, but we suppose the
reference is to radio grooming, because that
is the grooming that appears to be most dill
ficult to suppress. Where the irate citizen
comes in personal contact with the crooner
the same can be put out of his misery with
a crack on the head; but no way has beer
devised to kill the radio croOner by wire

REAL FORCES BEHIND OUR MONEY
POLICY
5y BRUCE CATION

The S--aryeS- thing about the long argu-
--r- over the governments monetary pol
lev : mai 50 many Of the arguers seen,
70 De ring 10 conduct the debate IN 4
vacuum.
What We are getting IS. in the main, an
academic discussion OF the relative values
Of money which Is anchored firmly to an
;rlmu-ab.e gold base and money which IS
flexible. It is an argument. for the most
part. which might just as well have been
held in 1923 as in 1888.
Most Of the time the surging waves Of
public unrest which make up the back
ground Of all this argument get ignored
entirely. We get plenty of scholarly expo
sirions on the way initiation starts and the
things il does before it stops, and plenty Of
historical analyses of what happened III
Germany and Russia, but very little men,
ton Of the way in which recent economic
developments have put pressure on our
social fabric.
A monetary policy doesn't come into be-
ing in a void. 1t is the product of innU-
merable forces. The economic laws in the
textbooks may be important; so, too, are
farmers sunk in debt, home-ownerS bur
dened with mortgages they cannot carry,
cities that stand on the edge of bank
ruptcy.
All those things produce dissatisfaction
with an inflexible currency system. This
dissatisfaction may be illogical, mistaken
and highly unwiSe; nevertheless, it is the
prime factor in the situation, and any at
tempt to settle the soundness or unsound-
ness of our monetary policy is worse than
useless if it fails to take it into account.
Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma an
nounced the other day that three different
congressional money groups would COM
bine to put through mandatory initiation
law this winter, if the dollar should be sta
bilized at a devaluation of less than 80
per cent.
That statement is the tip-off on the real
issue of the day.
If the administration should adopt the
course urged by the Sound money group,
it simply would be asking for an explosion.
All the inflationary sentiment in Congress
and there is lot of it, reflecting the
sentiment of the people back hOme-would
get up steam to blow the lid off. The
chances are very good that it would do so.

PILE SUFFERERS
live IN SHADOW
OF THE KNIFE!

If you want to be rid Of the tor
ment of piles without an operation,
throw away your laxative drugs.
Generally it is abuse and neglect Of
your bowels that causes bleeding,
itching, aching piles in the first
place, and as long as you continue
to irritate the delicate membranes
with laxatives you are living in the
very shadow of the surgeons knife.
Start Cream of Nujol treatment
instead, stop the irritation, and take
the first step toward the relief Of
pile suffering.
This newborn Of Nujol is specially
suited to sufferers from piles. 1t
soothes and heals the delicate bowel
membranes and makes you IS regu-
lar as clockwork without any in
reference with your work or play.
It is delicious to take, and will
cost you only few cents day. Buy
it at any drug counter.
Start the new harmless Cream Of
Nujol treatment at once. Give it a
real test. Stop at your druggists
and get a bottle tonight.

CUTS
SAVE $4,000

Reductions in the basic rates
charged for electricity will save
Montgomery and Prince Georges
county towns approximately
$500 annually in street lighting.
The rate change was announced
yesterday with bills sent by the
Potomac Electric Power Company
to the towns with which it has
street lighting contracts.
In some instances, the reduc-
tions will amount to as much. as
10 per cent, and less in others.
Company officials said it would
be virtually impossible to strike
an average percentage of reduc-
tion because of the wide variety
Of lighting equipment used.
The Prince Georges county
communities affected by the re-
duction are: Bladensburg, Brent
wood, Colmar Manor, Cottage
City, Edmondston, Hyattsville,
: Mt. Rainier, North Brentwood,
Riverdale, University Park, Cap
itol Heights, Marlboro. Maryland'
Park and Seat Pleasant.
The Arlington County Public
Utilities Commission shortly will
review electric rates with a view
to obtaining lowered costs for
consumers. It is expected the
survey will be started within
three weeks.
The action Of the utilities body
Is based on a recent report pre-
pared for a number of Virginia
communities which advised &C
ton against power companies to
compel them to cut their rates.

TRAGEDY IS REVEALED

THE tragedies of history usually are ex-
pressible in terms of things that did not
happen.
Publication of secret messages in the dip
lomatic files at washington shows that Ger
many and Austria sought to make peace in
January, 1918, and that their effort failed be-
cause they were unwilling to surrender to the
entire American program.
Chancellor Hertling of Germany. it is re-
corded, told the reichstag a fortnight after
President Wilson had published his famous
fourteen points that Germany could make
peace on that program-with certain excep-
tons
Germany, said the chancellor, could not
agree to those points involving overseas COL
onies, evacuation of occupied territories and
creation of free Poland The other points
Germany could accept.
It is worth while glancing briefly at that
program.
The fourteen points called for open peace
covenants and an end of secret treaties. re-
moyal of trade barriers, freedom of the seas.
disarmament, readjustment of colonial claims
IN the interests Of the inhabitants of colon
lied territories, evacuation of all occupied
French, Russian and Belgian territory, restor-
alton of Alsace-Lorraine, realgnment of
Italian frontiers, autonomy for Austro-Hun-
garian minorities, evacuation of occupied ter
ritorieS in the Balkans, autonomy for minor
tiles in Turkey, an independent Poland and
the organization Of a League of Nations.
Germany, then, was ready to accept most
OF these items-but the ones she was not
ready TO accept were in some ways the most
important OF all
At that point of time-the dawn of 1873
Germany's rulers felt it wiser TO stake every
thing on last offensive rather than to sur
render on those crucial points.
Similarly, the allied leaders preferred to go
on with the war rather than to recede from
their original demands.
Those decisions were a death sentence for

Why this is so We do not know, but We
know that it is. We know that the average
individual family, or community not only is
very susceptible to fads punches, whins and
beliefs, but Will go far in their behalf
Looking back over the last twenty years,
we know that our entrance into the European

THIRTY-SIX THIS YEAR!

MORE than 100000 monthly revenue
was coming into the United States treas
ury as the fiscal year closed merely from the
legalized sale Of 80 per cent beer. This is
yearly rate Of $1200OO.000-a goodly sum.
But, remember, this is from beer alone.
Repeal Of the eighteenth amendment. lifting
the ban from wines and spirits and permitting
beer Of higher alcoholic content will mean
federal revenue estimated at S15O0, O00O 900.
Put these figures alongside the current fed
eral deficit Of S1,75OO00000 and realize the
compelling argument for speedy repeal
Remember also what President Roosevelt
said in his message to congress on public works
and unemployment taxes:
Whenever the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment now pending before the states
shall have been ratified and the repeal of the
Volstead act effected the e-prohibition
revenue laws then automatically would go into
effect and yield enough wholly to eliminate
these temporary unemployment taxes.
When facts and figures thus plainly show
what repeal will do toward reducing deficits
and easing tax burdens for the people of the
entire nation why should any state choose to
dawdle or delay over the process of ratifca-
ton?
Self-interest as well as patriotism demands
that each and every state shall ratify as
speedily as its laws will permit.
Why don't Montana, Missouri, Florida and
Utah, for example, get busy and fix their vot-
ing days?
Why shouldn't other states bestir them
selves to find special legal means by which
they can vote and call conventions before the
end Of the present year?
We think President Roosevelt might well
broadcast to the country a reminder that pres
ent conditions and impending tax loads make
it the DUTY Of a state to hasten its action
for repeal.
It is possible for at least thirty seven states
to act before Jan. l next. Sixteen already
have voted for repeal Thirty-six are needed.
Instead Of neekly specializing whether re-
peal must or must not wait until 1884, rouse
up and tell the states that millions of tax
payers, their own included, demand the job be
done in 1893, and the benefits secured without
one months needless delay.
Sound THIS call, Mr. President, and earn
the heartfelt thanks of the nation.

BACK AGAIN

TUST when we'd begun to think it was as
dead as pee-wee golf, up hobs our old
friend, Technocracy, as fresh as a daisy.
1t springs into print like a Democratic
convention, with rebel yell, right and left
wing and a frst-cass row.
At a Chicago hotel the movement was all
set for a getaway under joint auspices of the
National archaeological Congress and the
Continental Convention on Technocracy.
Suddenly emerged a menace" in the familiar
figure of Howard Scott Technocracy'S head
man was accused by the Technologists of hav-
ing gone Bolshevik
He insisted complained technologist,
"on taking the platform and announced that
bayonetS would be used, if necessary to put
over Technocracy. We objected to this method
and sent for the house detective Professor
Scott left, however, before the detective got
to the room"
Clarence Darrow, scheduled for a banquet
speech, was "tickled to death" that the affair
was called off. It was, he said, too hot for
an argument"
We agree with Mr.. Darrow.

functions.
Under Roosevelt plans, hunger is handled
by a separate, expertly manned relief admin
istration under Harry l. Hopkins Construc-
ton loans are administered by Colonel Don
Sawyers public works administration, Farm
relief is under the department Of agriculture.
Railroad loans now must be passed upon by
Rail Co-Ordinator Eastman
The R. F. C. now owes the United States
treasury some $1,9O8 100000, including the
$500 100000 treasury subscription to the corpo-
rations capital stock
Perhaps it is too early to write this expert
ment's obituary When-or if-the govern
ment gets back the money, it will be time
fairly to appraise its benefits. But that the
scheme was fundamentally wrong in ideals
and execution few now can doubt.
It's hunger relief loans were niggardly and
badly distributed. The secrecy in administer
ing bank relief in its first five months, the
100000 loan to the bank of Mr.. Dawes the
Missouri Pacific loan to relieve New York
bankers, these and other near scandals lent
color to charges of favoritism and politics.
Chiefly, it's failure lay in its false concep-
ton of what America needed to restore pros
perity The R. F C. was founded on the be-
lief that if sufficient federal money were
poured into industry from the top, prosperity
eventually would seep through to the masses.
That mistake cost billions Of dollars and a
year full of human misery.
The Roosevelt way is to pump buying power
in at the bottom in the form of higher wages,
shorter hours, and job relief through public
works This is the theory behind the national
recovery act. 1t is beginning to work.

EMOTIONS MAKE HISTORY

XXTHEN all is said and done the fate OF
w country, race or civilization is deter
mined by the number and yigor of its people.
Human efficiency outweighs every other kind.
No machine, no system, no plan can count for
much, except as its serves to produce strong
men and women
The trouble is that we do not know exactly
what strength implies. 1t certainly includes
something besides physique, and there are
reasons to believe that it includes something
beyond sheer intelligence.
The mere ability to do things is not enough
to guarantee the well-being of an individual
or community. What people want to do is
generally of more consequence than what they
can 90. In the long run, human destiny is a
matter of dreams, hopes, and aspirations.
According to purely scientific deductions,
Sparta should not only have outlived Athens,
but should have made greater contributions to
