FAKE PRIZE SCHEMES

A rather ancient scheme for separating the un-
wary from their money is being worked again, both
in the United States and Canada, according to a
leading business mems magazine.
The plan is to insert an advertisement contain
ing a perfectly simple puzzle which anyone can
easily solve and offer prizes for correct solutions
A favorite prize is a building lot"
Of course, anyone who sends in solution of the
puzzle wins lot but he is informed that he Will
be expected to remit small sum-in case
S7.75-for the deed and other Incidental expenses
connected with the transfer of the property. The
''lot" is very small and the $7.75 fees alone would
net the seller around 5000 an acre for some worth
less land.
So. if the winner swallows that bait he is out
just $7.75 for the privilege of working the puzzle
while his name is passed along to other swindlers
as that of easy mark.
There are many perfectly legitimate prize offers
advertised in various periodicals, but those which
require payment of cash before the prize is de-
livered are generally fraudulent and should be
Shunned.--Taylorsville Times.

PRODUCTION PROBLEM STILL TO 81
SOLVED
(BY BRUCE CATION


Most of our energies today are devoted
TO the immediate problem of recovery TO
start the wheels turning again, to put IDLE
men to wor'., to set money flowing through
its old channels-theSe make up colossal
lob. Until it is accomplished, no one mas
time to think of much else.
But it is worth remembering that back
of it there lies still another problem; one
which took shape before the depression
began, and which will be around to plague
us long after the depression IS over.
1t is simply the fact that this efficient
and mechanical age continually Is finding
ways of using fewer men to make and do
more things,
chronological unemployment" is the
lengthy name that has been given this de-
velopment. Ten men can do job today
that would have taken 80 men a decade
ago. Tomorrow the job probably will be
done by five men. That's all there is to it,
But if the problem is stated easily, it
can be extraordinarily puzzling.
Every modern business operates und-r
the necessity of being as efficient as pos
sible. 1t has to do what it does in the
quickest. possible manner at the least pos
sible expense. If it can find machine 10
do the work that formerly was done by a
dozen men, it has to install it. If it can
arrange its operations so that one man can
do what two used to do, it must do so.
Temporarily, as a means of reducing un-
employment, we have made certain arbi-
trary moves to halt this process. The fed
eral railway co-ordinator for instance, has
refrained from instituting various consoli-
datiOnS in our railway set-up, because to
do so would throw men out of work.
For the time being, we probably can
continue to- swim against the tide in this
manner.
But this simply is lodging the problem.
Eventually, when full prosperity has re-
turned, We shall be forced to find a solu-
ton. The task won't DC easy.
On the one hand, we aim to make it pos
sible for every man who wants a job to
find oheoiOnthe other, the very nature Of
our productive machinery tends to white
down the total number of jobs.

RESUSCITATING DEMAND

The best hope of escape from the depression at
the present time is in the n1ationary measures
that have recently been adopted in the United
States.
So long as the depreciation of the dollar is main
tanned Subject of course to the appropriate cor
rectiOn for any change in the purchasing power of
god), the corresponding degree of economic &C
tivity will continue The increased orders given to
industry may be speculative in origin, but the in
creased incomes and demand generated are real.
Revival means the resuscitation of demand.
Each country separately can find the way out OF
the trade depression by so adjusting the purchas-
ing power of it's currency unit as to secure equiE-
brium between prices, wages and debts.
Revival, to be complete, requires enlargement
of demand in all countries
To seek rise of prices through a general re-
strcton of production would be to treat the prob
lem of poverty in the midst of plenty by eliminat-
ing the plenty instead of the pOverty.-R. G. Haw-
trey, in Trade Depression and the Way Out"

Remember. it arrived when the week was more

And the contents were recipes for dishes using

SEEKING THE IMPOSSIBLE

The effect of the present policy upon Europe
must depend upon the scale of American opera
tons. l can only express the belief that the dan
ger to the gold standard is being seriously under
stated in many of newspapers, and that the
ha-dozen countries still attached to gold would be
wise to cooperate not necessarily in maintaining
the standard, but in pursuing common policy,
which would include active cooperation with the
sterling group. Such policy would remove the Sc
rious danger to the world created by the present
currency policy of the United States. The Presi-
dent is being sadly misled In seeking a "stabe
commodity dollar by first deliberately creating in
stability and confusion, he is seeking the impossi-
ble.-Prof. j. H. Jones, in the Newsletter (Lon-

WAsHINGToN-You can under,
w stand the inside dog fights OF
this administration if you realize
that they're an inevitable by
product of the New Deal.
Appointments to emergency agen
cies and others have created many
liberal-COnservative divisions such
as existed in the supreme court
and the Senate. For II years the
administrative branch had been
overwhelmingly conservative ard
no other voices were heard.
Open-minded professors concerned
with the public interest, liberal
lawyers of the Brandeis-Frank-
fuTter school of thought, and pro-
gressive laymen of the Norris
LaFollette.Costigan stripe have
been iet into the government.
They think the present system
needs revamping and clash con-
Stantly with officials who favor
full freedom for industry and Its
profits.
Roosevelt, who usually leans left
ward in the pincheS, acts as a sort
Q! umpire, preferring temporarily
at least a balance betYeen the
forces.

Here's most Of the lineup-and
the SCOre-to date:
MIRA: Dominated by industry,
except for National Labor Board,
and despite Johnson's recent con-
cession OF labor representatives OF
code authorities. Industry gets its
codes through with few changes,
overriding laEG? and consumer

Agricultural Adjustment Admin

and consumer interest versus pack
ers and other food distributors.

comparatively smooth when we reached
the other side. We anchored inside Of
Sharps Island, but the fish at this par
ticular place evidently had been affected
by the rough water.
All we got was some small hardhead
and the spot constantly robbed our
hooks of their crab meat. So we moved
outside of the light house. and there We
hooked some big hardhead. And they
bit like they were hungry, but not fast
enough to suit our taste.
We observed four or five boats
farther out in the bay and moved
over close to them. At that place
the fish attacked our bait in the
usual hardhead style, and we
landed l3O. At $50 VIC headed
for Herring Bay.
We selected the big boat of the Ward
brothers at Herring Bay and had Capt.

we found plenty of fish.

recognition of a new worlds Class F

certificate filed by Nunneley in the
class within a week and the third time
he had exceeded the world mark within
this space of time.
At Syracuse N. Y, on July 3, Nun
neley set a new mark Of 48.78 miles per
hour to beat the 48596 miles per hour
record Horace Tennes of Chicago had
established at New Smyrna, Fla, last
March. In the Geneva regatta. on July
9, Nunneley hit 48807 miles an hour in
one heat. which exceeded his Syracuse
mark. but was just short of the one
tenth of a mile increase necessary for
a record certificate Ii the ensuing
heat, however. NunneIey clicked off the
