vF we could believe the fanciful
story which Irishmen around Kill
larney are fond of telling, we should
/ conclude that the deepest OF all
lakes on our planet Is located In
Ireland
In his good Irish way, a guide told
me about the Devils Punch Bowl, a
small lake near the summit OF noun
tain in the Killarney region.
"This lake" he said. "is so deep that
no one could find out its depth until
an Australian visitor dived into it. He
kept going down until he reached Aus
tralia. Then he sent cablegram ask.
ing that his clothes be shipped to him.
/ repeated that playful story to an
audience of school children, and after
my talk boy raised his hand 70 ask
a question.
"That wouldn't be possible, would It.
even If the lake were as deep as that?"
I agreed with him that it would not
be possible, and let him give MS
reason to the other pupils.
ANY one going down into the earth
would have to stop going down when ne
reached the center, because gravity
would hold him there"
the story could not be true. For in
stance, the Australian would be
drowned long before he finished the
journey.
Even though such deep lake as that
does not exist, there are some very
deep lakes. Lake Baikal, in Russia, Is
the deepest fresh water lake; at one
point, it has depth of 5,400 feet. =.
Great Salt Lake is famous because 1t
has water so heavy that a person can
not sink in it-unless he dives from a
high point or holds heavy weights
while in the lake. 1t is dangerous to
dive into Great Salt Lake, because the
water is SO heavy that diver is likely
to injure his head when he strikes it.
The Dead Sea, on the border OF
Palestine, is really lake. 1t contains
salt water, but the strangest fact Is that
its surface is 1892 feet below the level
of the Mediterranean Sea!
Lake Superior is the largest fresh
water lake. 1t is fed by 200 rivers, ana
it covers more than twice as many
square miles as Switzerland. Its great

MY DEAR MRS. POST: Recently
A'A the daughter of one of my friends
was married. At the wedding I no
ticed that the usual order of seating
the brides family on one side Of the
church and the bridegroom's family op-
posite was changed, and the families
we're all together. In explanation
afterward she said that opposite sides
seemed to separate the families of the
new couple, rather than to draw them
together in friendliness" Would this
reason be logical enough to warrant a
straying from the old order?
Answer: Conventionally, no. In
this-or any other particular case
there is no reason why they cannot do
as they prefer.

Conquering Contract

The Gold Clause

The Gold Clause
 A considerable number of bonds of the United States call for payment in a gold dollar of present weight and fineness. This does not apply to Federal land bank bonds or mortgages nor to most of the mortgages of joint-stock land banks and life insurance companies. These agencies agree to pay their creditors in lawful money, and are therefore protected if they collect lawful money from their debtors.
 The problem today is not whether creditors will be paid in any particular brand of dol lar, but whether they will get anything. Sometimes they get less than nothing, for they get a non-inc,ome paying property with delinquent taxes. If the collar is revalued, Congress will probably invalidate such contracts, or if this is consid- cred unconstitutional, can cas- fly tax the profits derived from such a source by a suffic- tent amount to prevent collect ion.
 If the price level were re- stored, business would proceed, jobs would be available, tax payers would be relieved of feeding millions of unemployed and it would be easier to pay one-third more than the bond calls for than it is now to pay the present sum.
 The gold clause is probably of little value to any creditor, and even if enforced it is a min or matter when considering the innumerable effects of deflat- ion. Ten million unemployed io far nnora serious matter than the gold clause.
 If we continue to allow our whole price and debt structure to be based on accidental dis coveries of some one commod- |ity or the accidents of demand for it, we should not be sur, prised to see the social system
