By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
EVANSTON. Ill, November 8.-Mrs.
Ida B. Wise Smith, national president
OF the Women's Christian Temperance
Union, said today the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment meant the sa-
loon was back.
She called it "a tragic error" and said
the moral forces of the country must
mobilize In campaign of education in
the effects of liquor and in a movement
for tine determination of the liquor
traffic"
Mrs. Wise Smith, who succeeded Mrs.
Ella Boole as national head Of the tenn
perance organization. said after repeal
there will be more liquor consumed,
more drunkenness, more drunken driv-
ing, more deaths from automobile acci-
dents"
She asserted money which had been
spent on housekeeping budgets would
be spent liquor
She charged that repeal was accom-
pilshed largely by the capture of the
metropolitan press and the moving pic
ture industry as well as by propaganda
direct TO the homes Of the country via
radio broadcasts.
There has scarcely been true state
ment made about prohibition on the
wet side of the argument in the place
of fact and argument there has been
a campaign Of ridicule against the dry
leaders and campaign of falsehoods
against the results of prohibition.

return OF prohibition,
Having been thrown out Of both Re-

Expert Advocates New
 Gold-Silver Currency

In a recent informative dis cussion of financial and eco- homie conditions, Professor G. F. Warren, one of the nations most distinguished economists, declares that joint use of gold and silver in metal coinage, known as 'symmetallism," would not only enable the fix ing of commodity prices at any desired level but also would produce a currency more sta- ble than gold alone. He says:
 By adopting bimetallism or symmetallism it is possible to set any price level that is de- sired.
 If silver is, remonetized, il should certainly be done by symmetallism, as proposed by the great English economist, Alfred Marshall. This propos- al is now receiving consider able attention in England. It is very simple. Instead of having a dollar exchange for 23.22 grains of. gold it would ex- change for some given weight of gold plus a given weight of silver.
 Since two commodities are more stable than one, and since silver production is less cratic than gold production, such a money would be more stable than gold. If once established, it would work in the same way in which the gold standard works, except for greater sta- bility."
