WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

everything pertaining to womanly un-
derstanding of public affairs.
++*
James D. Preston, librarian Of the
United States Senate. claims to be the
patentee of a brand-new collecting
habit. He has gone In for water marks
on old documents like those which have
been gathering dust in the archives Of
the United States Capitol since the
earliest days Of the Republic. Preston
states that American paper manufac-
turers of ancient times built monuments
to themselves by producing texture
that has survived $50 years of time and
thereby permitted valuable state docu-
ments to be available in q high state Of
preservation. While the water mark Is
in most cases distinct and clear, Pres
ton says that the producers Of the
paper are yet to be identified. The de-
signs of the water marks are in all cases
artistic and unusual.
Prof. George Frederick Warren. whose
commodity dollar idea Is the bone and
sinew of the new Roosevelt monetary
policy, Is q native Of the Nebraska farm
belt and q product of the States uni
versity. Practically his entire life since
he took his Phi. D. at Cornell in 1905
as q professor Of agricultural economics
and farm management. He Is the au-
thor Of half . dozen books, but none
Of them deals with currency or finance.
In 1866 DR.. Warren was horticulturSt
at the New jersey State Experimental
Station. Prof. Warren came under MI.
RooSevelt's eye while the President was
Governor Of New York. He was In Eu-
rope last Summer looking into currency
questions on F. D. RS behalf. Now
that Prof Moley is devoting his talents
to journalism, Dr.. Warren comes near
to ranking as No. in the executive
brain trust.
The Ford-N. r A. feud Is expected
by most authorities in Washington to
lead sooner or later to the long awaited
showdown on the constitutionality Of
the recovery act in the Supreme Court
OF the United States. Some outstanding
legal authorities like Representative
James M Beck are persuaded that
N. r. A. will not survive Supreme Court
scrutiny. Contrary to that view, the
burden Of lay opinion, and among .
good many lawyers, too, is that the Su-
preme Court will give N. r. A. its ap-
proval, broadly on the grounds that 1t
IS emergency legislation Justified by the
state Of the times and the country's
needs, even though certain specific
phases Of the laws administration may
not pass muster.

had no previous relations. He insists

should ever be necessary.

presentations, all properly autographed,
which In the end have had q sheet re-
moved, and the book then presented to
another. Perhaps few such gifts ever
bore inscriptions thereafter.
The best inscriptions are those which
have to do with like minds, and call to
remembrance some mutual problem or
thought Of such minds.
Thus such small writings should never
be hurried affairs, or the work Of q mo-
may come time, and upon an occasion,
when few words jotted down, in the
heat Of the moment, will furnish the
best possible sort Of personal dedication,
or inscription.
II such an occasion presents itself,
one would be foolish not to yield to it.
The danger here, however, u the plain
danger Of the wise crack" 50 called.
After many days, will not these words
seem essentially silly7
This Is what every one must keep In
a book to a friend In the heat Of the
moment. Let him beware lest he re-
pent at leisure.
Nothing Is more disquieting than to
find one Of these books later. in the
home of ones friend, and to chance to
open 1t at the personal inscription, per-
haps all forgotten.
What! Did you write such a silly
sentence as that? It would have been
much better, one sees, to have stuck
closely to that old model, ITO John
Smith from Bill Jones'"
After all, one cannot do much better
than that. 1t has solidity, dignity,
everything that a good honest inscrip-
ton ought to have, especially II it be
indicted with more than usual care to
penmanShip.
While it Is never necessary to write so
painfully that ones handwriting Is dis
torted, nevertheless 1t is essential that
the operation be performed with due re-
gard to the fact that this is book and
maybe an expensive one, in which one
Is writing, not Just a mere sheet of
paper on which one Is privileged to try
out his penmanship.
There Is a medium point between the
hasty scrawl and the meticulous formal
Handwriting Of the average person.
Such handwriting Is not so careless
that others cannot read it, yet 1t never
borders on the steel engraving type
which seems to lack personality and
even humanity.
In such good handwriting-as good
as one possesses-an inscription may
be put down which does credit both to
donor and receiver. Let 1t embody as
much wit as one has use for, still it
must be in keeping with donor. recipi-
ent, and great time. whose relentless
pace shames and often invalidates all
our poor attempts to be humorous. No
doubt the best inscription Is one which
best reflects the man who writes 1t.

The Experiment Progresses.

No one seems to know exactly where
the Nations new monetary policy is
going, but last nights short communique
from the White House indicates it Is on
the way. Four days of fixing prices for
newly mined gold in the United States
In an effort to depreciate the value OF
the dollar and by this means hoist COM
modify price levels has apparently DEM
onstrated precisely nothing, unless it be
the fact that gold miners who sold their
gold to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation on Wednesday should have
waited until Saturday. Now the second
phase Of the experiment is about to
begin. The subject of conference at
the White House yesterday was "the
immediate setting up of machinery
under which the Government, under the
r. F. c., would be enabled to buy gold
In the foreign markets"
The purchase and sale of gold abroad
was one of the features of the plans
working toward managed currency"
as a policy-not an expedient-which
the President told the country about
Sunday a week ago But four days Of
domestic gold price fixing were tried as
0 starter. Instead of this raising the
price of gold on the world market, how
ever, the price of gold went down, and
instead Of depreciating the dollar on
foreign exchange, the dollar appre-
ciated.
The results of the first four days Of
domestic gold buying may be seen at a
glance as follows.

The second phase OF the experiment
In manipulating, or attempting TO
manipulate. the price of commodities
by manipulating the price OF gold Is
regarded by many as a more hazardous
undertaking than the first. The first
phase of the experiment has been FIX
ing the price Of newly mined gold In
the United States, and this newly
mined gold represents only about q
tenth of the worlds annual pro-
duction.
But when the United States, to buy
gold abroad, begins to sell its own
dollars and run down their exchange
value, the danger is that other nations
will feel called upon to retaliate, and
to retaliate by depreciating their own
currencies. On the other hand, they
may resort to gold embargoes. An
other possibility IS that the United
States Government may only buy gold
through arrangements with the CEN
tral banks OF other nations, avoiding
4 currency warfare and In some man
ner working toward stabilizing f1uc-
tuating exchange rates.
All Of that remains to be seen, when
the administration chooses to reveal
the full extent of its plans. In the
meantime, the experiment will be
watched with interest. 1t is only to
be hoped that the watching OF the
experiment, which means watching
the gyrations of our money standard,
win not serve to divert attention from
the highly important business OF re-
covery at home. The danger, of course,
IS that people will become more inter-
ested In waiting to see what will hap
Den to their money, with the possibility
Of profiting by speculation on its fluc-
tuations, than they will be in investing
1t or spending it and thus putting II
to work.

The new session Of Congress, beyond
a doubt, will bring q wide discussion
OF the N. r. A., the A. A. A. and the
long list OF other Government agencies
which have been set up by the admin
istration in conformity with the Iaws
passed at the special session dealing
with recovery. The N. r. A. has its
critics and they have become more and
more vocal In the last few weeks. The
showdown with Henry Ford and the de-
termination to boycott his products by
the Government unless he SIGNS the
automobile code and lives up to the
code has raised the back hair of a
lot OF people who are perfectly willing
to be led, but who do not like to be
driven. From patriotic motives they
are willing to 60 along with the N. r. A.
But the welding of a big stick or a
boycott does not sit well on their
stomachs. It does not take q lot to
raise political issue in this country.
The Ford incident may easily become
one. The recent editorial of william
Randolph Hearst, attacking the N. r. A.
ana al its works, is another indica-
uon tnat the Blue Eagle may come in
Tor criticism when Congress opens.

Magic Putter and Spectacular
Irons Give Him Title For
Third Time +

Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 14.-tR)-
Perched on the national professional
golf championship throne for the
third time, Gene Sarazen grinned one
of his wide victory smiles Monday
and chuckled.
"A washed-up golfer, eh?" he NUT
tered as he scanned accounts Of his
par breaking victory march, which
ended Sunday with 5-and-4 con-
quest over the stout-hearted Willie
Goggin of San Francisco in the finals
Of the championship drive over the
Blue Mound country club course.
With fire in his eye, he qualified
easily and then busted off Vincent
Eldred of Pittsburgh, Harry Cooper OF
Chicago, Ed Dudley of Wilmington,
Del, Johnny Farrell, former national
open champion, and, finally, Goggin,
to clinch the title for the third time
since 1922.
Sarazen Monday struck off for Tor
onto to compete in the Canadian
open.
Goggin fought great battle, but
was just outclassed. Striking with
a magic putter and spectacular irons.
sarazen drew away in the afternoon
after Goggin had held him to a bare
hole advantage in the morning and
ended four under par for the day to
gallop home with his conquest.
