- - LET'S CODE THE LADIES

By the time that I myself got time to begin writing a code, found that they'd been written for practically every industry and in- dividual except my wife.
 So, true to the spirit of MIRA, have begun on one for her.
 Thus far I've only touched on the Unfair practices" section, and the first two paragraphs of that section read:
 Il. It shall be considered an un- fair practice to wait until we have company before showing me a new hat, dress or ct cetera, that has been purchased without any previ- ous knowledge.
 "2. It shall be considered an un- fair practice to serve lamb stew more than two CD meals running.
 That's all I can think of so far but I'm thinking of calling a public hearing of husbands so we can get the thing shaped up and sent to Roosevelt for approval. - Val C. sherman in Western Farm Life.

PATRIOTIC ORGANIZATION

Fifteen years ago Wrangell's su- preme interest lay in doing it's part with the rest of the nation to help win the World War. Individuals and organizations united to this end. Of the lodges then in Wrangell only the Redmen is still active.
 It seems appropriate at this time to reprint the following Sentinel ed- itorial written fifteen years ago this week by the late J. W. Prit- chett:
 "On the first page of this issue of the Sentinel will be found the re- production of an advertisement written by President Wilson. It is an unusual thing for the President of the United States to write an advertisement, but these are unus- ual times and they call for unusual acts.
 "The advertisement written by Presiednt Wilson is an appeal to
 
 Fourth Liberty Loan.
 "The advertisement is paid for by Stikine Tribe No. 5, Improved Order of Redmen-a patriotic or ganization, and the oldest lodge in existence of purely American origin. It was born in patriotism, nurtured in freedom and consecrated to lib- erty.
 "It will be remembered that on a certain important date in history a party of men disguised as Indians rushed down upon the wharf in Bos- ton and threw a cargo of tea over- board. The men who constituted the Boston Tea Party were members of the Sons of Liberty.
 "The Redmen's lodge is the di- rect lineal descendant of the Sons of Liberty who for more than ten years prior to the Declaration of Independence had by their active work paved the way for that im- mortal act.
 Coming down from the days of the American Revolution the Order Is today intensely patriotic and broadly American. Love of country and the conservation of Liberty are its guiding impulse in the present great world crisis.
 "The front page of this issue of the Sentinel is a graceful tribute from Wrangell Redmen to the great chief at Washington, and adds con- vincing evidence of their willing ness and determination to do their Liberty Loan a triumphant success. '

trarily We think that under certain circumstances it might be a good thing. But we feel that President Roosevelt and the federal govern ment are wise in refusing to be stampeded into imitation. If the step is taken, it must be taken carefully, and the exact steps must be cautiously worked out. It cannot be undertaken without a comprehensive plan to avoid excesses. We think 1t we'll that President Roosevelt is ap- parently relying on his financial ad- visors, rather than listening to the comments of well-meaning but igno- rant political advocates. (Colo.)

INITIATION PROSPECTS

Several United States senators are
 beginning to get impatient about in-
 flation. They want the government
 to do something immediately to raise the prices of all commodities, and
 the government will probably have
 to declare itself on the question soon-
 CT or later.
 So far the threat of imitation has
 proved as powerful as imitation itself. The national recovery act permits the president to initiate the currency. He has not done so yet, but the country has been sure that he will; therefore people have rushed to buy goods of all kinds, in order to get them at low market prices, before imitation shoots the quotations sharply up. At the present time the
 beat-the-inflation buying squirt seems to have spent itself, and the demand is being made that President Roose- welt take actual steps to initiate. The manner of imitation seems to be i'm material; some favor the printing of additional currency; others favor de- validating the dollar; large number
 in the West urge the remonetization of silver.
 But it is not such simple problem as it seems. In the first place, there is the horrible example of Germany. Austria and other countries after the war; the type of imitation used there
 shot the price of commodities up to unheard of levels, and money became almost worthless. The American in- flationist replies that such difficult ties can be avoided. Use controlled imitation, he says. But neither he nor anyone else can tell the govern
 ment exactly how imitation can be controlled. No government in recent l times has been able to exercise any
 c3atrol over imitation; the United States may well be wary.
 In the second place, the problem of buying power will not, as many people suggest, be solved by infla- tion.
 At the present time, prices of all commodities have risen to a certain extent; buying power has also risen through the hiring of new men and raising of wages through the MIRA program, but buying power has not risen as fast as commodity prices. Result: the workingman, who is also the consumer, does not benefit, but
 actually suffers, as long as the pres ent ratio between wages and prices continues. --. The process of imitation would
 force the prices of all goods upward
 immediately. Wages would also rise,
 but not so immediately. and not so high. The worker and consumer
 would be penalized further. Past history shows that wages invariably fall more quickly and to a lower
 level than prices; and also shows that wages invariably rise more
 slowly and not as high as prices
 Immediate imitation, without care- full weighing of the consequences, might be disastrous.
 We do not oppose imitation arbi-

 movement is asserting that in case this plan fails nothing remains but chaos. While such a statement may spur some people to further action by placing fear in their hearts, it is very likely that it will really do more harm than good, by adding to any feeling of uncertainty as to the future which may remain in the country. In fact it will and is al- ready causing the average person to save up for rainy day, and this is hurting retail business.
 In the first place the statement is undoubtedly an exaggeration. There is no reason to assume that if the MIRA movement should unex- pectedly fail to fulfill all of it's ad- vance promises, that we are due for nothing but anarchy and chaos. By thinking back a little we can re- member that the country was slowly and painfully working it's way to- ward recovery even before the MIRA program was inaugurated. The first faint signs that we had crossed the broad valley at the bottom of the depression came over a year ago when the stock market hit bottom and started a slow climb. It is true that this climb halted, due to the uncertainties of the political cam paign, and the political stagnation which ensued between the election and the inauguration, but it is not to be forgotten that stocks did not descend again to the levels of July, 1882. Then after the bank holiday there was an undoubted reversal. Confidence replaced fear and we started on the upgrade. Many peo- pie went back to work, carloadings increased, hoarding of money almost ceased, and the various indices of business indicated that we were on the verge of a major upturn. All of this, it is to be remembered, got un- der way before the MIRA was put into effect.
 Of course every American hopes the MIRA will succeed and believes that it will do so. Everyone is put ting a shoulder to the wheel to make the movement a success. Party lines have been buried, many conservative business leaders have swallowed such doubts as they may have had, and everyone, high and low, is sup porting the administration. No pres ident in peace times has ever had more generous support on the part of the people and better cooperation from the business interests of the country.
 The American people are going ahead and doing their best It is unnecessary to try to spur them on by threatening them with chaos in case the present plan fails. It occurs to us that President Roosevelt him. self said that if some of his plans didn't work he would try something else; that he did not expect to make a hit every time he went to bat. Europe is going ahead, and is i'm proving economically and there is no indication that England or France or Italy are slipping into chaos though they are not using the re- covery plan. Why then should this happen to America alone.
 What America wants to do is to get back to normal, but 1t wants to get there by constitutional, not bull dozing methods. If the present plans bring this about, all we'll and good and every American is behind them. But to say that if they fail nothing but chaos is ahead is to create un- necessary doubt and fear-to' weak en our faith in America.-Ex

First steps toward elimination
from state normal schools of what
Professor Kenneth Williams calls
nonsense courses in educational
technique have been launched by
the state department of education on
orders from Governor Paul V.
McNutt.
George c. Cole, superintendent of
public instruction. announced today
that survey of all educational
courses has begun at both Ball State
Teachers college, Muncie, and Terre
Haute Teachers college.
Ordering of the survey. in charge
of Harry Elder, registrar, follows
a series of disclosures in The Times.
Purpose is to eliminate non-es-
sential and duplicative courses, he
declared.
A similar survey may be made
later at Indiana university school of
education.
After its completion, the state
board of education may take some
action on the petition of more than

CHICAGO. Nov. 10.-An outbreak
of amoebic dysentery. a rare tropical
disease which has resulted in fifteen
deaths here recently, is under con-
troll, health officials said today.
Source of the disease was traced
to several hotels and restaurants
here by DR.. Herman N. Bundenson
president of the Chicago board of
health. Dr. r. B. Spencer, United
States public health service expert
was here to aid in eliminating the
source.
The situation entirely and COM
pletely is under control. and there
is no need for any alarm whatso-
ever" DR.. Bundenson said in a
statement.
Since the outbreak. about 100 per
sons have been reported affected in
Chicago and throughout the coun-
try, DR.. Bundensen said.
Health officials checked guest lists
of hotels, and sent warnings TO more
than $4,000 persons, many of them
worlds fair visitors, who have been
exposed to the disease while here.
They were advised TO consult their
local physicians.
The disease. common in the
tropics. rarely appears in this part
of the world, health officials said.
1t does not develop until about three
weeks after exposure. The disease
is spread by individuals who have
it or who are carriers of. the para
site and who handle food.

have co-operated in controlling the
disorder and voluntarily have can
