level he desires. As to that, we shall see what we shall see. There is no established and unanimous expert opinion for or against this theory. There are some econo- mists who think that the prics level cannot be manipulated by monetary devices. There are oth- CTS who think it can be manipu- lated, in different degree and at different times, by the expansion or contraction of credit. There are still others who maintain that the price of gold is decisive in the price level. The President has decided to try out the third the ory, and as the experiment is to be made, there is no point in try ing to bless it or damn it on purely theorietical grounds.
 This much can be said for it, I think. Economic history in the Nineteenth Century seems to show that the long periods of deflation have ended with the discovery of new gold. The deflation after the Napolsonic wars, and the thir- ty years of misery and revolution in Europe, did not cease until the great California gold production began. The deflation after the Civil War did not end until the South African gold discoveries in the nineties. Whether this is a coincidence or cause and effect, it is difficult to say It is fact that the best periods of the past hundred years have been the de- cades of rising prices following a marked increase in the gold sup ply Those who have the great est confidence in the President $ philosophy maintain that a re- valuation of gold will produce the same results as great, new dis coveries of gold. For myself, I do not know enough to say that they are mistaken.
 It can be said, too, think, that for our particular malady, which is the disparity of the price of raw materials, compared with fin ished goods, a manipulation of the price of gold may be quite effec- [ tive. The chief raw materials are
 priced in international markets in terms of gold or of sterling. Assuming that our action does not provoke international measures to counterbalance it, which it may there is some reason for thinking that it might have just the good result the President hopes for Moreover, our chances of making it work would seem to be better than would be those of a country interested primarily in exporting industrial goods. It can also be said that the risks of the experi- ment are less for us than for any other country. For we have an ample gold supply to use in order to keep the dollar from falling when we wish to steady it, and she dollar is naturally strong be- cause the balance of international payments is in our favor.
 So there is no good reason for letting fear distort a sober effort to make the experiment. succeed. But it must be obvious that the whole fate of the experiment depends upon the wisdom of those who administer it.

small part consists chiefly of mollusks, in-
 sects and crustaceans-seldom fish
 When next you see duck standing on
 its head in shoal water remember that it is
 not fishing but is sitting the soft mud bottom
 for fallen seeds and buried rootstocks, and
 tubers; and if it dives, even though the
 water is more than 10 feet deep unless it
 is a merganser, it is not pursuing fish but
 is grubbing the sand or mud bottom for
 choice bits of vegetable food
 That is the answer of the biologists of the Survey. And undoubtedly it holds good for mos of the ducks most of the time But these scientist! haven't taken into consideration the feeding habit! of certin ducks, particularly mallards that flocl along Alaska's coastne in the Fall season These have cultivated a taste for salmon eggs that il appalling few days on that diet and the ducks while unbelievably fat, smell to high heaven anC the flesh is so tainted as to be unpalatable

Nevertheless, the most important thing to fix in mind immediately is that, whatever may be ones theoretical opinions about money, some such system for controlling the dollar is, judging from foreign experience, a necessary step. But, of course, there is more to the Presidents plan that that. He has definitely committed himself to the theory that he can manage the dollar to bring about the price

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
WARM WIND

Uncle Wiggily could not forget
how he had been fooled into break
ing off icicles, made brown by mud
dy water, for sticks of wood at the
carrot roast to which he was in
vited by the animal children. I told
you that story last night.
Il certainly made a mistake,
said the rabbit gentleman telling
Mr.. Twistytail, his fat pig friend,
about it. Boy, o, boy! You should
have heard the brown icicies hiss
when I put them on the fire think
ing they were sticks of wood"
You ought to know ice when you
see it," grunted the pig. You have
been in the ice cave of Mr.. White
wash, the Polar Bear, often
enough

"Bue there were new icicles, the
first of the season. They were made
by that little North Pole elf, Jack
Frost"
Jack seems to have been around
last night" grunted Mr.. Twistytail.
1T is very cold this morning"
Yes, it is," agreed Mr.. Longears.
"And I wish it would get warmer.
It's too cold so early in the sea-
son. When I see Jack I'll ask him
not to make so much show and

ther, you know. When 1 started
away from the North Pole I was
sure there would be no more warm
weather down here. But the South
wind fooled me-"
Just as 1 was fooled with the
brown icicles that looked like
sticks of wood" laughed Mr.. Long
ears. But I rather like this warm
wind, Jack"
Il DON'T" sighed the North Pole
elf. II can't stand it. Haven't you

Uncle Wiggily, until this warm wind

My bungalow would not be cold
enough for you, Jack" said Mr..
Longears. But I'll tell you a fine
place to stay"
"Where?' asked Jack, eagerly,
trying to fan himself with a little
piece of ice he had picked up at the
duck pond But that ice was melt
ing fast. Where can I hide until
this warm wind stops blowing
I'm the ice cave of Mr.. White
wash, the Polar Bear answered
Uncle Wiggily. I'll take you there,
Jack. Mr.. Whitewash will let you
hide with him and sit on a cake Of
ice until the weather turns cold
again"
"Oh, joy!" cried Jack Frost. "Take
me there quickly, pleasel'
Uncle Wiggily led the way up the
hill to where Mr.. Whitewash had a
deep dark cave-where the cakes
of ice never melted.
Come in, Jack! Come in" he in
vited Mr.. Frost. I'll keep you cool
enough. And you, too, Uncle Wig
gily!"
Thank you, no. I like to be a
bit warm" said the rabbit. But take
care of Jack Frost" AS soon as Jack
was in the bears cold cave the lit
tie man was all right again. He
jumped around and sang and blew
out his cold breath. Uncle Wigglly
hoped down the hill to go home.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. - The
most mysterious man in Washing
ton is Prof. william FredrIck War
ren, noted agricultural authority
and author of the Presidents gold
buying plan.
He is never interviewed. he is
never photographed. He walks in
and out of back doors, quietly. He
has no listed telephone number
and until today, none but the
highest in official circles knew
even the location of his office.
After working on the task for
two weeks a diligent contributor
to this pillar finally discovered
him in his liar-behind some filing
cases in the bureau Of steamboat
inspection at the department of
commerce. This is how to find the
professor:
Elude the guard after working
hours in the commerce building.
Stroll down its lahrynthian corrid-
ors. Enter door number 1860.
Squeeze past the steamboat bur-
eau's files and come TO another
door. Behind it is the professor.
When he comes out, this is what
he probably will say

WHAT 4 COACH!

Lieutenant Tom Hamilton, of the
United States navy, is likely to face
courtmartial, or worse. Not from the
United States navy, in which his record
is an honorable one, but from the An
cient and Amalgamated Brotherhood of
Football Coaches.
The lieutenant committed high treason
Sunday when his team was playing
-roup of former Trojan stars at Long
beach. The eX-Trojans were tough lot
in a tough mood and they were knock
ing the tar out of the team which the
lieutenant coaches.
Along in the middle of the game when
numerous navy subs had failed to make
any gain against the foe, Lieutenant
Hamilton, sitting on the bench and pray
ing to NEPTUNE to do something with his
boys, suddenly decided to do that some
thing himself.
He summoned one of his players from
the field, and trotted out Lieutenant Tom
Hamilton as his substitute. Thereafter,
for the remainder of the game, the coach
was player on his own eleven, and while
they lost the contest it was not his fault.
He played hard and bang-up football
and deserved to win though defeat was
no disgrace.
There is no moral to this yarn. Per-
haps there is no good reason for writing
it, except that many who attend football
games have often wished that the coach
had to get in there and take it,. Lieu
tenant Tom Hamilton proved that there
is at least one coach in the country who
can take it, and dish it out too. Per-
haps football would be better if there
were more like him. However, We don't
look for many coaches to follow his eX-
ample.

room contributed something
With the exception of very
short book week play, the program
consisted of songs, poems. panto-
