YELLOW SPRINGS. Ohio,
Jan. - G.N.s).-A half million
people are estimated to be liv-
ing comfortably in the United
States today without any money.
They are beneficiarieS Of the
rapidly growing barter plan"
which had its start in Los An
geles more than a year ago when
an unemployed dweller, finding
himself out of funds, walked out
to q truck farmer and said:
"Let me paint your fence in
exchange for some vegetables" !"
Has Gained Swiftly
In year his idea has devel-
Oped so swiftly that one cannot
guage the Importance Of this
plan on the country'S economic
history.
The Los Angeles man. like
everyone else, was concerned
about the curious condition Of the
country in which there is an
abundance of everything, yet mil
lions are in want.
Today from $50 to 500 sex
changes are operating where un-
employed are trading services for
goods, and goods for services.
The Way 1t Works
A woman may be glad to can
fruit in exchange for having a
dress made. The dressmaker may
be glad to make the dress, in ex-
change for having her roof
Inended. A carpenter may be
glad to mend the roof, in ex-
change for the services of a
dentist. The dentist may be
happy to fill teeth, in exchange
for having some fruit canned.
II such things as these can be
done among ourselves without the
use Of legal money, we may get
many things done that we can
not seem to afford now.
In this college and farming
community, when we found about
one-fourth Of the population was
living on Is cents day, we
formed a barter exchange some
three months ago. It has seemed
TO work.

M. Albright, who also. had been with the Park Service since its creation, from the superntendency of Yosemite National Park to be Director Although lit was light task to fill MT. Mathers offica' shoes, MT. Albright did it to the complete sats-
 faction of everybody He maintained the high stand ard set by MT. Maher for the service and for the administration of the parks. When he resigned a few weeks ago to accept a fine business offer, it was made known by Administration spokesmen that the resignation not political It directed by MT. Albrights personal wishes and not because
 the new Administration wanted to fill the place with one of its own selection.
 That politics played no part in the naming of a successor is evidenced in the appointment of Arno IB. Cammerer MT. Cammerer was Associate Di- rector under MT. Mather for many years. He con-
 tinued in that capacity under MT Albright. He
 helped both of them build up the service and estab
 fish the high reputation of its administration. He
 is as much integral part of the Mather system
 Mir Mather was and as MT Albright was Under
 his direction the continuance of the Mather tradi-
 tion in the countrys public parks is definitely assured.

NEW YORK, July 22.-Managing money so as to keep prices stable one of the bombshell proposals which President Roosevelt tossed into the World Economic confer ence-may involve almost anything from controlling production of con- modities to the more mysterious operations of monetary manipula- ton.
 This is because managing money means, in essence, managing prices, and the various factors which cause price changes are manifold.
 Changes Sometimes Deranging
 Advocates of the management policy hold that these changes, whether up or down, are dangerous for the economic system, especially when fluctuations are as violent as they have been.
 A rapid rise in prices may seri-- ously reduce the purchasing power of workers fixed wage, while a rapid decline may increase that purchasing power. At the same time, the rapid decline may reduce the income of the employer and he may be forced to discharge the worker. u'I
 A rapid decline in farm prices will make it harder for the farmer to pay debts incurred when prices were high because he will have to sell more produce to get the same number of dollars to retire these debts. Loan collection in dollars of higher purchasing power repre- sents a gain to the money lender. If prices rise drastically, the lender does not get as much purchasing power as he lent.
 Stable Prices Aim
 The expressed objective of a managed money system is to keep the purchasing power of the dollar stable so that neither the worker nor the seller nor the deDtOr nor the lender will receive the advan- tages or disadvantages due to un- practicable price swings. " A secondary objective is to keep groups of prices in proper relation ship so that one group of individ- uals will neither benefit nor suf- fer. Thus the administration is at tempting to raise farm prices so that they will be in approximately the same ratio with non-farm prices as before the war, farm prices having registered greater declines. s The administration further pro- poses to raise all prices to about the 1924-25 level so that debtors

Two Out of Three.
(New York Herald -Tribune)

American athletes gained two of the three major titles fought for in the British Isles in the week just ended The third went to Australia, leaving small comfort for the strictly homegrown talent
 Yet the defeat of Ellsworth Vines by Jack Craw- ford must be ranked great prize for the empire For in Vines this country undoubtedly possesses one of its great players If something remains to be perfected in his backhand, there is true tennis genius alike in his other strokes and in his tenn perament. Only truly great player could have mastered him at Wimbledon, and Crawfords victory ranks him clearly in the great tradition of his The Davis Cup matches take on a new interest, with American hopes distinctly less secure. At Forest Hills, in September, there should be battle worth travelling miles to see.
 The victory of Helen Wills Moody was almost a certainty. She has now equaed Miss Lenglens record of six championships, and not even Miss Rounds success in taking a set holds much threat for the future of the American champion Mrs. Moody has the power and the skill to go right on taking championships for a number of years to come if she chooses
 The victory of young Denny Shute at St.. Andrews could be claSSed surprise, except that golf is perennially full of surprises. There is no reliable dope" for a golf championship. What Shute lacks in experience-he has been pro" for only five years-he makes up in the all-around soundness of his game and especially in the per- lection of his iron shots that last test of great golfer. consolation prize goes to Scotland in any event. as Shute's father began as pro" at St. Andrews before shifting to this country Trad- tion apparently, holds in the game even if past performances do not.

TRIBUTE TO F. w. BRADLEY.

The esteem in which the late Frederick Worthe Bradley was held in San Francisco, where he cer cred his personal activities for so many year md in California. his lifelong home is voiced he following editorial from the San Francisl Bulletin:
 Frederick w. Bradley was a distinctive figure in California mining, virtually born into the industry to which he devoted his life with signal success Nevada City, the place of his birth, of the earliest mining camps and the date 1863, was in a time when the great wave started in '49 still was rolling westward. To his early background MT. Bradley added technical training and he became one of the pioneers in substantial mining operations in Alaska. For many years he has been recognized na- tionally as a mining authority of high rank. For his achievements in finding profitable methods of handling extremely low grade gold ores the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers awarded him the 1892 William Lawrence Saunders gold medal. His death takes from San Fran cisco a familiar and respected figure and mining loses strong and able character whose influence potent and sound.

MOVES ON BROAD
 FRONT

AS forecast in official statements several days ago. the Administration has moved to extend US fight against depression over front as broad as the nation That is what it's estabshment ol d general voluntary code of minimum wages ana shorter working hours" throughout the nations industry This only be made effective tnrougn it's acceptance by the industries themselves which cannot have been surprised at the action
 Several causes undoubtedly underlie the Admin isration's latest and in some ways it's boldest step Not the least of them is the delay that has been encountered in getting codes formulated by the industries their account. They have evident ly experienced difficulties in arriving at common agreement on the many phases involved. The vol untary code offered to them by Administrator John- son will undoubtedly aid in recovery while more elaborate codes being perfected by the industries Another of the factors certainly behind the Administrations latest step is the continued rise of commodity prices and other things without fully compensating wage scale advances and increase in employment This is a problem that has caused the President and his advisors worry than all of their other difficulties combined. Recently, Gen Johnson in a radio address warned against too rapid price lifting, declaring
 1 This is a dangerous business-this danger
 of runaway prices. There still about
 120OO0O0 unemployed in this country and
 even those who still have jobs are largely
 on much reduced means.
 Any wildcat prce-fting will have it's
 first bearing the very creature neces-
 sites of these unfortunates-their means to
 keep out hunger, thirst and cold. The Ad-
 mnistration simply will not stand for that,
 and do not expect to have any trouble
 about it.
 Food clothing. tobacco cotton, furniture. wool and many other commodities have made substantial gains in prices The slowness with which new avenues of employment were being opened to offset these undoubtedly played it's part in the Govern ment's establishment of the new code.
 By fixing limits to hours of employment jobs naturally will be opened for many of the millions still out of work By establishing minimum wages the reductions in hours of labor will not be per- mitted to lower wage scales.
 It is bold that the Administration has made It would have been better had the industries done it themselves Their failure to act promptly convinced the President that the Government had to act With his customary decision he acted with out hesitation upon that conviction. Again he has lived up to the country's conception of him a real leader.

MATTER TRADITION CONTINUES.

The National Park Service has had three Di- rectors since its creation by Franklin K Lane as Secretary of the Interior MT Lane induced Stephen T. Mather a successful business man of independent means to head the organization and to sell" the parks to the nation as public playgrounds. In a measure far beyond the expectations of all familiar with the working of Government bureaus MT.

who borrowed when that leVel pre- vailed may repay on the same basis, without a premium to lenders.
 Price, Supply Relation
 There are two major relation shis which make prices: supply of and demand for a commodity or commodities, and the supply of and demand for money.
 A large supply of a commodity tends to make its price low; a heavy demand tends to increase the price. A large supply of money usually means higher prices; a large demand for money, as when it is necessary to dump securities to get dollars ot pay debts, tends to lower prices.
 Thus, managing money an d prices involves actions which will affect these items. The farm ad- ministration now is attempting to reduce the supply of farm crops to raise prices. The administration as a whole is attempting to increase the supply of money
 When prices reach the desired level it will be possible, advocates of money management hold, to keep them there by continued man. agement.

Federal Racket Drive.
(New York World Telegraph

Further evidence that the Federal Department of Justice business in it's drive against rackets is Attorney General Cummingss selection of Joseph B. Keenan, Cleveland lawyer and experienced crime investigator, to be Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Federal war on racketeers and gang sters
 Announcing that he will strike at gang leader ship, some of which is intelligent, educated and expert" MT. Keenan says:
 Racketeering has been profession. Be-
 of the huge returns, it has brought
 into racketeerng from other lines Cf
 endeavor, including my own.
 That last, coming from a lawyer is courageous promising It has long been apparent that high legal skill is at the command of "big shot, racketeers not only to defend them in court after arrest but to guide them in disgusting and concealing coercve practices under pretense of legitimate business. Not few members of the Bar could give intimate, expert information about racket methods and about the loophoes in the law through which racketeers escape
 We recommend MT. Keenans statement to Bar Associations that may follow the recent example of the Federal Bar Association of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut in establishing committees for the repression of racketeering If the organized legal profession would devote careful study in the light of legal ethics to of the aid and advice racketeers get from lawyers, Federal and local authorities might be not little strengthened there by for the against rackets.
 In the last analysis no one knows better than the lawyer the weakness of the law. By that knowledge the lawyer well his client often greatly profits Will the organized Bar lend its full strength to the anti-racket moyement-even to the extent of revealing and condemning the unethical practices of some of its own members?

Washington's Easter Sunday pa
rades along Connecticut Avenue
and F Street were rained out
yesterday, drab raincoats a Id

splendent spring raiment and new,
shining shoes.
The day was one Of bitter dis
appointment to scores Of motor
lists who had driven hundreds Of
miles to see the far-famed cherry
blossoms around the Monument,
Tidal Basin and the roadway
around Hams Point. The rain
beat the blossoms from the trees
early in the day.
Despite the rain, roads leading
into Washington were crowded
most Of the day and police re-
ported many accidents, some Of
them serious. All indications are
that the annual fashion parades
will take place next 8 Sun day,
weather permitting.
