Secretary, American Bridge League
 It isn't often that psychic bidding pays. It is true that it does have its place in contract, but the tim ing must be perfect to avoid dis astrous results.
 Tn the recent national amateur pivot and progressive contract championship tournament of the American Bridge league, Mrs Ar thur J. Kerr of Tulsa, Okla, the hard luck player of the tourna- ment, did put in psychic bid that worked out very well. Tn addi- tion, the hand was well played.

n. Y. C, PLANS
JOBS FOR 800
Freight Car Handling Gain
May Bring Employment
at Rail Shops.

Increase in the business of Indi-
annapolis manufacturing concerns is
reflected in the gain in freight car
handling into and out of Indian
apolis, according to G. S. Brecount,
trainmaster for the Indianapolis
terminal of the New York Central
lines.
More freight cars were handled
last Saturday and the previous
Saturday at the Indianapolis termi-
nal than since Aug. %, 1881, &C
cording to Brecount.
He reported that on June II of
this year, there ware 1928 cars han
died and last Saturday the num-
Der totaled 1914. An unusual fea-
ture of the freight increase, Bre-
count said, is the demand of num-
Der of local manufacturers for Sun
day service.
Brecount said he has been in
formed that the New York Central
contemplates its largest program in
forty years at the freight car depart
ment of the Beech Grove shops that
alone will require about 900 men.
Carloadings showed a 40 per cent
increase in May over May of 1892
and the first twenty-five days of
June reveal a 80 per cent gain over
a corresponding period in 1882. The
April increase was about lis per
cent, Brecount said.

but admit that the decision which
confronts the American government
is one which it is not easy to make,
and that the difficulty of making
this decision explains all the super
fetal confusion of American policy.
XX7HAT is this decision which
w confronts the American gov
eminent? 1t is whether definitely
to revalue the dollar now or to
keep the dollar deprecated and
f1uctuating under the threat of a
future devaluation to an underlined
amount.
These are the two possible courses
we can take, and nothing else of any
consequence can or will be settled
here until our decision has been
reached
For the value which we ultimate
ly put upon the dollar will determine
the monetary policy of the other
nations. The first two weeks of the
conference have established this
important truth.
Although there is much talk about
returning to the gold standard, the
fact is that the effective monetary
standard of the world is the dollar
Our task is to weigh the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the two
policies: The policy of immediate
devaluation by a definite amount
and our present policy of fuctuating
depreciation under the threat of
eventual devaluation.
NTHAT is to be said for our pres
w ent policy? Chiefly, 1 think,
that until American prices have
risen to the point where costs and
prices are in working balance, no
one knows exactly how to value the
dollar in terms of gold.
Since we do not know how much
prices will rise in other countries, we
do not know how much, if at all, the
dollar needs to be deprecated, and
so we hesitate now to fix it's value
arbitrarily.
VIC 41lAS11O OCNd1QC IOO d1lQ
get too great rise in our prices. We
might devaiue too little and get too
small rise.
What is to be said for the oppo-
site policy: That of an immediate
definite devaluation The first
thing to be said for it is that an
American devaluation of Is to 80 per
cent would almost certainly bring
about devaluation in practically
every other country.
The effect of this should be to
raise not only American prices, but
world prices, and thus produce a
general upward movement every
where. If this were achieved, it
certainly would be to our advan-
tage, for obviously, though we must
raise our own prices in any event,
it would be far better if they did
not rise too much above prices else.
where.
The second advantage claimed for
immediate devaluation is that it
would avert the danger that the
present upward movement of prices
in the United States might be halt
ed suddenly by sharp rise in the
value of the dollar due to fall in
the value of sterling and Of the
franc
I do not know how real this dan
ger is, but many competent and
dlslnterested men believe that in
the autumn this danger will exist,
owing to the fact that at that sea-
son the exchanges tend to move
strongly against Europe.
This is question which ought to
be examined very carefully with
view to determining whether a def
mite devaluation this summer will or
will not provide a more solid foun-
dation for the advance of prices
than we now have from the threat
of eventual but indefinite devalua-
ton.
