DIVORCE CASES IN
 SUPERIOR COURT
Two Decisions Handed Down To-day By Judge
 Newell Jennings

Two decisions affecting divorce proceedings were rendered in su- perior court to-day by Judge Newell Jennings. He accepts the report of State Referee Isaac Wolfe and orders a divorce grant cd to Irene r. Fowler against Clyde c. Fowler but reduces the weekly payments the husband IS ordered to pay from $7 as recom- mended by tho referee to $b.
 In the matter of the application of Mrs Jennie P. Looser seeking custody of her daughter, he orders the child to be kept by the hus- band, Joseph P. Looser until the divorce is heard. The divorce &C., ton is pendign in court. :.
 Mrs Looser deserted her husband and II year old child and made no serious efforts to see her during her very important adolscent years Judge Jennings finds. The mothers interference has been detrimental to the chiid's welfare, the decision adds, The child is ordered to be kept at the home of the fathers sister, Mrs Taylor at Bristol, where the child apparently is content.
 If the visits of the mother result in unpleasantness any party can bring the matter to the courts af- tentlon. The mother may visit the child every other week after Sat- urday, october 2Sth. without in' reference, tho decision states.

Noted Econon1ist Has Approued President
Royal Meeker Strongly Upholds the Sound Money
 Policies Advocated By Chief Executive

The disastrous inflations of 1919- 1920 and of 1927-29 occurred un- der the regime of the gold stand- ard. The even more disastrous de- flations of 1920-1921 and of 1929. 1888 were aggravated instead of being checked by the gold stand ard. The president has stated un- equivocally many times that he inc tends to restore the level of prices so as to relieve debtors of some part of the unjust debt burden which has been created by the ex- banded dollar.
 After the unjust debt burdens created by the unstable and appre- ciated gold dollar have been re- moved in part, then and only then Is the president willing to stabilize the buying power of the dollar by tying 1t fast, not to Q gold stand ard which changes in value as the .inconstant moon," but to a man. aged gold standard which will be managed 50 as to keep the com. modity buying power of the dollar as nearly constant as possible.
 Some bewildered 'experts" have condemned the presidents pro. posal to manage the currency be. cause no such thing has ever been done before. This is an error. Tn fact, the gold standard is and always has been Q manager stand ard, although the management hai usually been huugling and ineffec- tive because the managing wae done sometimes by unintelligent governments intent on borrowins cheapiy and sometimes by private bankers and financiers intent on their own profits and indifferent to the effects of their policies upon prices, business and employment.
 Sweden has had . managed standard" for more than two years. The price level has varied less than one per cent since the government set out deliberately to keep the value of the Krone from fluctuat- ing.
 It will be much easier for the United States to maintain the level

 The effect of the presidents forceful and timely address should be very beneficial to business of all kinds.

 New Haven, Conn, October 24 = (UP) President Roosevelt has again declared emphatically that currency rehabilitation is an es- sential part of the National Re. covery program.
 His message should give courage to all advocates of sound money. He Is neither an inflationist nor a deflationist. He pronounces for Q stable currency set upon Q sound basis.
 His most significant words were the following:
 Finally I repeat what have said on many occasions, that ever since last March the definite policy of the government has been to re- store commodity price levels. !. |. When we have restored the price level we shall seek to establish and maintain dollar which will not change its purchasing and debt paying power during the succeed. ing generation.
 He added: "This is . policy not an expedient. It is not to be used merely to offset . temporary fall in prices. We are thus continuing to move toward . managed cur. rency."
 These words seem crystal clear and unambiguous but 1t is reported that certain bankers, financiers, orthodox economists and other "experts" are bewildered and much disturbed by them. This can be only because they do not under. stand the essence of the gold standard and what constitutes a sound and stable monetary stand- ard or a managed currency system. The president knows full well that the gold standard of itself Is any, thing but . sound and stable stand-
