which there would be no escape, with
their real wages and standards Of liv-
ing falling steadily. Production, stimu-
lated by rising prices, would increase
rapidly. But with the decreased pur-
chasing power Of the fixed income and
OF the wage earning classes, there would
soon develop serious maladjustment
which would eventually result in col
lapse.
Farmer Worse on.
The farmer would appear, in the first
instance, to be the gamer. II his mort
gage were not payable in gold, he could
pay it OF in cheap currency. Rising
prices would be reflected in what he
received for his products. But the rise
in the prices of what he must buy would
soon Offset the gains. Furthermore, as
the values Of farm land rose through
the process Of imitation, new debts would
be incurred at the higher levels, and
when the final crash came the farmer
would find himself worse of than ever,
with a much heavier burden Of debt and
his markets destroyed.
While imitation at some stages in the
process and at some points appears
to correct some OF the evils arising dur
ing q period Of deflation, the one out
standing characteristic of the movement
Is that once started it soon becomes
completely out of control and pursues
an irresistible course until 1t collapses.
All experience teaches that whatever
the earlier appearance may be, all
classes are ultimately adversely affected
by the process of imitation and even
tually 1t results in ruin to the economic
life Of a nation and brings terrible dis
aster to all of its people
There is an alternative program,
which I have not the space to do more
than outline. II were In q position
to frame program, 1t would take
substantially the following form: first,
a balanced budget; second, an easy
money policy consistently pursued by
the principal central banks; third, a
definite attack on the debt problem, not
by wholesale treatment, but by setting
up adequate machinery to deal with
different categories Of debts; fourth, q
settlement OF the foreign debt question;
fifth, stabilization of world exchanges
by q return in the first instance to the
gold standard by the more important
commercial and industrial countries;
sixth, the lifting of arbitrary trade
barriers.
I believe that If these measures were
carried through in a broad and con-
structive spirit. the stimulus to world
economy would be so great that there
would be an immediate response in the
way of an industrial and commercial
expansion and a marked increase in
prices accompanied gradually by essen
tial readjuStments.

NEW YORK, January 23-The

today for Miss Elisabeth Marbdry, rs

failure.
A renowned leader in theatrical,
literary, political and civic life. she
nevertheless believed that any one of
millions of obscure housewives was

I have in mind, and with motherhood,
then it is better for her, if she has
talents and qualifications, to go out into
the world and find some occupation
that will prevent her from becoming
narrow, introSpective and unhappy"
Because Miss Marbury had talents
and went "out into the world" there
will be a notable funeral tomorrow.
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman is expected to
head huge gathering of distinguished
people who will go to st. Patrick's
Cathedral to pay tribute to the woman
who died yesterday of heart attack
Most people would have said that
Miss Marbury's was a full life. She
was member of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, agent for famous
authors, adviser to young talent, war
worker and woman leader.
IN a book called My Crystal Ball"
she told of her dealings with poets,
statesmen, dancers, generals play

j The ancient Chinese thinker, Con-
fucius, taught much about duty to-

was his hope that he should help his

rules, and the Chinese have followed
the rules too well. They have been
good. but not good enough. For the

We must not forget, however, that

Sending Coins Through Mail
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

in nickel or silver. But these "Shin
plasters," as this paper money was
derisively termed. have been out Of
circulation long time. Even with
them there was no Government guar
antee Of security. There was, however,
the natness ofpaper and the small size
Of the currency which made 1t difficult
to detect In letters.
Today many ways are used for pro-
lection In sending small coins through
the mail. It is imperative to observe
three things One is flatness. Another
Is close sealing Of envelopes so that no
crevices anywhere remain through which
coin could work its way out. The
third Is to secure the coins so that they
are not loose. The ingenuity which
readers of this paper use when seding
me coins is worthy Of mention. Let me
tell you of some Of them.
First Of all shall speak Of the
method the postal authorities cc,l the
safest, while, please remember, they 90
not stand back Of 1t. This is the use
Of coin cards in which there are cir
cular holes into which to fit the coins
Of different denominations under 50
cents. Across the back Of each card q
over the front Of the card to be pasted
down after the coin is inserted and
is to be mailed. In this way the coin
cannot slip out or work its way through
an envelope or be detected as a wee
lump In the sealed envelope.
Any person can make these circular
perforated cards. Remember to have
a card approximately the size Of the
envelope and have paper pasted across
front and finally across the back.
Another good way. and one which
causes but slight unevenness Of contents
Of an envelope is to paste narrow sur
geon's plaster in two directions over
the coin and to the letter paper thus
fastening 1t down firmly Transparent
mending paper is just as good rs sur
geon's plaster for this purpose, or any
narrow strips Of strong paper pasted
firmly over the coin and to the sta
tionery. This is favorite method Of
readers. Another way is to put the
coin in an inclosed envelope. The flap
Is folded over the envelope carefully,
but not stuck down, of course. The
folded envelope is inclosed in the letter
in its outer envelope Still another way
to prevent coin slipping about In let
tiers is to cut two Sits in cardboard
and run the coin under them. If the
coin fits tightly it will not work its
way out, otherwise 1t will.
