4 ton, Colin reported TO General
Washington. The Commander in
Chief showed no elation. But his
face was no longer shadowed with
anxiety. he smiled when he thanked
the captain and gave him his hand
saying:
II have the pleasure to address
you for the first time as Colonel
Cabot My first order is that you
give yourself the rest you need.
After the arduous labors In which
your industry and valor have been
an example TO the troops, wish you
to retire to your room until you feel
restored. I think that Mrs. Wash
ington has something to say to you
In the library before you go above
stairs"
A little later Colin was sitting
with Lady Washington.
Pat must have gone away in a
British ship" he said.
"Yes. | have news for you," the
Lady answered with q smile. "You
will remember Nancy Woodbridge?'
"No man could forget that form
of Venus and those big dark eyes
and red cheeks and hair like SUD-
light" he answered, laughing.
"You stop!" she commanded with
look of mingled reproof and
amusement. Remember you must
behave yourselfl She is terribly
good-looking."

"Yes. Pat sent her here 1t was her

Colin took the letter and eagerly
broke its seal. 1t was from Pat and
it ran as follows:

Over Week End.

Despite frigid weather that stalled
motor cars, indianapolis and vi

visited twenty-seven makes of cars
stalled-not by the weather-at state

and today.
Some were in search of new mod

quietly dickered with statesmen for

The first two days of the auto
show, considering the near zero tenn
peratures, pleased R. H. Losey,
president of the indianapolis Auto
mobile Trade Association, with at

Billy Arnold, champion race driver,
is one of the headlights of interest
at the show as he converSeS with
well-wishers at the Plymouth booth
and assures one and all that he'll
be battling for the pole at the 1888

Baby racers in the booth of the
American Pushmobile Association
vie with Billy for interest. Ma
chimes, powered by gasoline, capable
of thirty-fve to forty miles an hour
are on display.
Movies, the Sinclair Oil Company's
dinosaur, and the black decorations
of the show with gold figures of ele-
plants and slaves bowling before
gods, are other features that attract
attention.
The show will be open daily from
10 a. m. to 1880 p. m. through Fri

by travelling north on Meridian street
to Thirty eighth street and thence
east to the show building. Street

OSWALD SPENGLER coined
~ his phrase, money as func-
ton" in 1917 as subversive a
phrase as capitalism has yet
heard.
That, because men Of the de-
clining west were invited to OBJ
serve that while they lived by one
money, hand money, the classical
coin. their millionaires lived by
another kind, mental money, book
money, so intangible that to try
to touch it would be to destroy
a civilization.
From his cloister in Germany,
Spengler was to witness strange
things. He was to see what can
happen when the money-thinkers,
their dream suddenly dispelled,
fall back on the hand money of
the people.
He was to see an initiation of
hand money in Germany after
the World war that became pure
dynamism, a pure Faustian eX-
pansion with only infnity as
limit.
Until in the end the very con-
ception of money was forgotten,
bushel of wheat being no longer
valued in terms of money, but
money being valued in terms of
wheat.
Germany ended the war owing
some seventy billion gold marks
of national debt. Despite defeat,
her mark averaged 17.18 cents in
1918, compared with 23.46 cents
at par.

I mean Great Britain's abandon
ment of the gold standard.
"~REAT BRITAIN'S action
" has had two single sonse-
quences. The first has been to
stop the decline of prices, meas
ured in terms of national curren-
cies over a considerable proper
ton of the world.
Second, departure of a group Of
nations from gold means the be-
ginning of a process toward the
restoration of economic equili-
brium.'
Sir Basil in his PLANNED
Money points out that the gold
standard got established more or
less by accident, makes it clear
England does not now want her
sterling to rise to parity.
This country and France are
the only two major countries now
on the gold standard. And
France is on gold with a depre-
ciated franc.
France let the franc slide from
parity of 1913 cents down to 1872
cents in 1927. She pegged it at
3.91 cents and returned to the
gold standard, the new franc
being worth only about one-f1fth
of the old franc in gold.
She thus wiped out 80 per cent
of her 38,5OO,OOO 900 franc internal
debt. She now has 3,292, 0OO, 900
in gold, 2712 per cent of the
worlds supply, compared with
only 1872 per cent in 1913. And
she has only 100000 men unem-
ployed
Thus France, guarding the in
terest of the nation as a whole
rather than that of any one class,
wiped out 80 per cent of the
wealth of her creditors, and be-
came prosperous.
Wheat, protected by a tariff, is
selling there oday for $1.25
bushel. 1t sells for so cents in the
United States.
Those who see depreciation of
the dollar in terms of gold as the
way out for America point to
France as the shining example
Of what initiation will do if wisely
controlled.

The West player in today's hand
could have saved a great many
points if he had employed this con-
vention, allowing the bidding to
reach the second round before he
entered it.
The Bidding
East and West were vulnerable,
North and South not vulnerable.
South opened with one spade, a
bid which scarcely would be juSti-
fled by his holding except for the
strong major suit.
West held three and one-half
high card tricks and a flve-card
biddable suit, so he felt justified in
bidding two clubs. North promptly
doubled and that closed the auc-
ton.
The Play
North selected the nine of hearts
as an opening lead. The ten was
played from dum1y and South won
with the jack, returning the queen
of spades. The declarer covered
and north won with the ace.
He followed with the nine of
spades, and when dummy did not
cover, the lead was allowed to hold.
His next lead was the eight of
hearts, which dummy also refused
to cover. North, being still in the
lead, led his last spade and the de-
clarer ruffed with the deuce of
clubs.
Declarer now led a small diamond
to dummy's jack and South won
with the king, returning small
club. Declarer played low and
North won with the ten spot.
He threw the lead back with a
diamond and the declarer could not
avoid the loss of two more CLUB
tricks. His contract was defeated
three tricks for a penalty of 900
points.
If West had elected to pass, in
stead of bidding two clubs, he would
have learned that the majority of
strength was in the North and South
hands and that a defensive bid
could not be made safely.
However, when holding three and
one-half high card tricks, he must
be assured that East will not allow
the hand to be played at one spade
even though North is willing.
In today'S hand, North held the
balance of strength and a disastrous
penalty resulted.

of industrial bonds had to accept

these legal settlements were made,
of course, in the new gold mark,
with par of 1882 cents.
Why Germany INDUCED in such
weird initiation still is something
of an international mystery. The
French explanation is that the
Republican leaders were deter
mined to wreck the country's
earning power so that reparations
could not be accepted.

Il fords terrifying picture of
what modern imitation can become
if it gets out of hand, or if it gets
in the wrong hands.
And yet America finds such eX-
perts as j. Maynard Keynes, the
noted British economist, and Sir
Basil P. Blackett, director of the
Bank Of England, defending infla-
ton as a world necessity.
The English pound sterling de-
preciated like other European cur
rencies following the war. 1t fell
to a low of $3.841 (par, $4,000 in
1921.
England, guardian of the gold
standard, borrowed 5000, OOO,O 900
from the United States Federal
Reserve bank, $1OO,OOO,O0O from the
House of Morgan, and pushed
the pound sterling back to par,
returning to gold payments in
May, 1925.
She had to do this, 1t was
claimed at the time, to preserve
the dominance of sterling in the
great markets of the world.
But on Sept. 81, 1881, she had to
leave the gold standard again, and
now a growing school of her lead
ers contend that this was for the
benefit of both England and the
worId-in short that worldwide
depreciation of money and raising
of price levels is necessary.
Hear Keynes, writing in 1882 in
THE Worlds Economic Crisis:
There has been a still recent and,
in my judgment, most blessed
event, of which we have not yet
had time to gain the full benefit.

900 more than when the war be-
gan. Her paper circulation had
averaged 1894 million marks in
1913, well secured by gold, and
the circulation had not been in
creased dangerously during the
war.
NOW, however, with her bust
' ness men clamoring for
money with which to rehabilitate,
imitation began. In 1919 the mark
dropped to $40 cents. In 1920 to
It's cents.
The more money the reichs-
bank printed, the more was need
ed. The mark dropped to 1.21
cents in 1921 and to 23-1OOth of
a cent the next year. The cry for
more money was unceasing. By
now the reichsbank had 1873
printing Offices busy making
marks and it took thirty paper
factories to supply the necessary
paper.
In December, 1923, there were
496,507, 424,771, 973,774,000 marks in
circulation. And even that was
not enough.
On Oct. Is, 1923, ten billion
reichsmarkS were worth slightly
more than cents. Three days
later they were worth IA cents.
BY Nov. that year it took
100 billion marks to buy penny'S
worth of food. Finally it vanished
into nothingneSS.
In other cases of imitation it has
been possible to trace concretely
what was the effect on workers,
debtors and employers. In the
Germany of 1923 changes in value
could be figured only by calculus.
Every experience became fam
tastic. Railroads would sell tickets
for only fifty miles of travel at
time; at the end Of fifty miles
the traveller would have to buy
another ticket at the new value
of the mark.
There is a story of a man who
made a short trip, which cost him
100000 marks. His return a few
hours later cost 100000 marks. 1t
is recorded that men paid off
100000 mortgages with less than
500 in real money.
Workmen got their wages at the
end of the day and raced to the
grocer to convert it into food,
only to find time after time that
the mark had so deprecated since
morning that the total would buy
only a loaf of bread.
THERE was little unemploy-
Il ment during the early stages
of the inflation-only 222,410 per-
