BY F. TRUMAN WINsLOW

Monetary experts and econo-
mists here are checking my Bali
metallic Standard for possible
errors in my claim that as a
base for money circulation it is
superior to either gold or BIZ
metallism, in that it uses both
gold and silver in practically un-
limited amounts.
The most important difference
between bimetallism and the new
system is that under the Balti-
metallic Standard both gold and
silver will flow freely to the mint.
Neither metal can drive out the
other and the Government is pro-
tected against Gresham's eco
nonic law.
Lower Interest Costs
The new system has a great
advantage over the gold standard
because the circulating currency
will maintain more balanced pur-
chasing power and prevent radi-
cal fluctuations in foreign ex-
change.
The metallic backing Of circu-
lating currency is many times
greater than at present so that
the necessity for credit money
such as national bank and Fed
eral Reserve notes decreases re
sulting in a decrease OF interest
costs to the business.
Should the United States adopt
this system it would be possible
to secure trade advantages with
silver countries which would
triple the present exports.
West To Prosper
The western part of the United
States would become prosperous
due to the flow of money to the
silver mines and from that point
the new money would spread so
that the whole American industry
would benefit.
All other n lions would be
forced to adopt the new system
to protect their export markets
and the long dreamed of inter
national currency would become
an absolute certainty.

APPETITE 7

A sluggish appetite means a slug

called StdSiS, and see how quickly
listless, dropping boy or girl begins
to eat-and gain! The only "medi-
cine" such children need is pure,
unadulterated fig syrup.
California syrup of figs is doing
wonderful things for ailing, Sickly
children all over the United States.
If your baby, boy or girl, is bilious
-pale-faced and dull-eyed from
stipation-breath bad mornings,
tongue coated all the time-don't
give cathartics that weaken twenty

syrup of figs that doesn't disturb
either stomach or bowels, but does
act on the lower colon-where the
trouble lies.
Nature never has made a finer
laxative for children; they all love
the wholesome, fruity flavor of the
real California syrup of figs. It's
purely vegetable, but every druggist
has it all bottled, with directions.
Begin with it at once. Your child
will soon be eating better and feel

Fox Some folks like tC find out

Granny Fox taught Reddy when he
was little was that the more you
know about the affairs of other peo
pie. the greater is the chance that
sooner or later you will be able to
profit by your knowledge. So Reddy
Fox never willingly or knowingly
allows to slip by a chance to learn
something of his neighbors and their
affairs.
You remember how Johnny Chuck
had thought himself very clever In
making his new home In the corner
of the old stone wall because IL
would give him protection on both
sides. AT least that is the way IL
seemed to him. And you remem-
ber how Reddy Fox had discovered
that new house. And how he said
that IL couldn't suit him better pos
sibly. The reason IL suited Reddy
so was that he saw at a glance that
the wall was too high for Johnny
to see over even when he sat up. and
so 1t would be an easy matter to
creep up behind that wall and watch
for a chance to surprise Johnny.
OF course, al first Reddy had not
known that II was Johnny Chuck
who had built that house. He had

Groundhog as Prophet

The grounding or wOOdchuck, like
many another legendary figure has
been debunked.
After years of experiments with
woodchuckS and other alternating
animals the sum of conclusions Of
DR.. George T.. Johnson of the zoology
department of the Kansas State col
lege, is that these animals are likely
to wake up, yawn and perhaps step
out for breath of fresh air any time
before or after February ., known

If a warm spell has driven the
frost from the ground he is likely to
go out for Il little while If not, he
shakes himself, curls up again and
goes back to sleep without probably
bOthering even to look for his
shadow.
All of which, says Doctor Johnson,

Heroines
Betty Zane
By
LOUISE M. COMSTOCK

IN ITO Capt. Ebenezer Zane, fol-
lowing the westward trail estab-
lished fifty years before by Gov
ernor SpotswOOd and his Knights of
the Golden Horseshoe, settled at the
mouth of Wheeling Creek. in Ohio
county, Virginia. Here he prepared
a home and later brought to it his
family and his sister Elizabeth, a
pretty girl in her early teens, who
had had q year in school at Phila
delphia and learned her way about
in the society back East. Within
a few years other settlers followed
him, and but sixty feet from his
cabin door rose the stout wooden
stockade of Fort Henry.
In 1770, during the border war
fare that followed the Staying of the
Indian chief Cornstalk. a menacing
band of over four hundred Wyan
dots, headed by that strange white
man turned red, Simon Girty, rose
out of the surrounding forests and
descended upon the little garrison.
The settlement took refuge in the
stockade and prepared to meet the
attack. There were available exact
ly 40 fighting men. Thirteen of
them were dispatched under Capt.
Samuel Mason to DO battle with the
Indians outside the stockade. They
were massacred. Girty demanded
surrender. But Captain Zane de
termined to fight TO the finish rath
er than yield to that man."
For long days and weary nights
the seige continued. each passing
hour taking its costly toll of provi-
sions, ammunition, life. There came
time when there were but twelve
men left to defend the fort. And
then, to destroy what little hope was
left, came word that the supply of
ammunition was exhausted. The
only available supply was keg of
powder stored in the Zane cabin out.
side the stockade.
1t was Betty Zane, sixteen at the
time and fair to look upon, who vol
unteered to get it. Anxious faces
pressed to the portfolios to watch
her, as she slipped out of the gate
into the clearing. The red men
peering out of the protecting for.
est, stared in astonishment and for
got to fire. In safety Betty reached
the cabin and secured the precious
keg of powder. But her journey
was only half completed. AS she
started back the enemy, as II sud
denly realizing the significance OF
her errand, opened fire. Stumbling
under her burden, saved only by a
miracle from the rain of bullets and
arrows, Betty again crossed the
open space and reached the gate
and safety. With Its new supply
of powder Fort Henry held its own
until the next morning, when Colonel
McCollock brought aid from Short
Creek.
