Mr.. Kohl Speaks

On Friday, February 18th, the

Supt. Kohl. His talk about health

educational and also interesting.
He stressed the fact that self n.y.

of all life functions. The main
rules necessary to carry out this
phase is that all students who use
the gym should bring their own
equipment as towels, tennis shoes,
etc. There are more rules that are
to be observed and any offender
will be inflicted with punishment.

Iehn.uman Once Held Sacred

Because Of its fondness for croco-
dies eggs the ichneuman, car
niyorous mammal Of northern AZ
RIGA, was held sacred by the an
cient Egyptians, for they believed
1t had been sent by their gods to
help them keep down the much
dreaded reptiles. Slightly larger
than the ordinary cat the ichneu-
man has also, since ancient times,
been used In Egypt to keep houses
free Of rats and other rodent pests.

Humidity in House.

Humidity in houses should be
from 80 to so per cent. but in most
houses it is probably 20 per cent
OF lower-too dry for health. The
drier the air. the more difficult it is
to heat a house, as moisture In the
air carries and retains heat. If
frost forms freely on the inside of
the glass there is probably enough
humidity; If there is no sign Of
frost the air is too dry.

Buried His Treasure in
Woods; Couldn't Find Il

It was in the bloody and turbu-
lent days of King Charles ! that a
stanch royalist, one Eustice Mann,
decided that his fortune would be
safer under ground than In strong
boxes where It might fall into the
hands Of Cromwell's forces, writes
correspondent in the New York
Herald Tribune. So at dead Of
night he dug hole in the little
wood on the island and buried his
treasure in true piratical style.
But quite obviously he forgot one
important item which, according to
tradition, the buccaneers never
overlooked. He quite neglected to
mark the hiding place Of his wealth
or to make a chart with crosses
and bearings and similar symbols
and cryptic ciphers. as all profess
sional treasure hiders should do.
AS a result of his carelessness
when, with the king again on the
British throne, friend Mann Shout
dered pick and shovel and entered
the coppice to disinter his fortune.
he discovered to his dismay that
brush and saplings and weeds and
grass had so altered the appearance
Of the patch Of woods that he
hadn't the remotest idea where he
had inferred the treasure. Although
he dug and dug, and although many
have searched the coppice since
then, poor Eustice Mann's treasure
still lies hidden in the mold Of
the Money Coppice," and If ever 1t
is found in all probability 1t viii
be by accident.

WARBURG ADVISES

Banker Says Statement on
Money 0biectives by New
Deal Vital.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSs.
SKYTOP, Pa, october 29.-JameS
p. Warburg. New York banker and
time financial adviser of the
Roosevelt administration, today Wis
ioned the key to further economic
recovery as clear statement by the
Government "of its basic principles"
and particularly its monetary objec-
tives.
The banker, vice chairman Of the
bank of the Manhattan Co.. New
York, told the Robert Morris ASso-
ciates, national organization of bank
loaning officers, that Government
mastery of money and credit ma
chinery actually would constitute
Specialization of the whole State"
He cited statements by Lenin and
G. D. H. Cole, British Socialist. in
proof that both Communists and
Socialists urge naturalization Of
banks and credit as the first step in
their efforts to gain control.
Picturing this control of money and
credit as leading to dictatorial form
of government, he declared very
much reduced standard of living If not
national bankruptcy" would result.
The banker, who assailed the N R.
A. and present Government trends in
a caustic speech last Wednesday in
Philadelphia. expressed qualification
with the favorable outcome" Of the
American Bankers Association con-
vention later in the week, following
an address by President Roosevelt on
Thursday.
Declaring 1t was not reasonable to
ask when the Government will re-
turn to fixed gold content. Warburg
urged that 1t state whether 1t in
tends ever to return to a fixed gold
ratio. or whether it is still contemplat-
ing thesidea of commodity dollar of
f1uctuating metal content"
1T seems fair" he stated, "to ask
whether it has any intention Of print
ing greenbacks under the Thomas
amendment, or whether 1t wants this
power repealed"
He urged the Government to allow
"ample time for discussion before
dllJ 10 HloAS w NAA nto ANA 1AANA
banking legislation.
A thorough tax reform, reduction of
extraordinary expenditures TO the
minimum required for actual relief" )"
and "unequivocal undertaking not to
invite collapse OF Government credit
by resorting to artificial measures in
the distribution of Government bonds, -
were advocated by Warburg.
"A political government which en-
ters actively into the economic field
without disclosing its basic principles, ="
he said, land without enlisting the
whole hearted supported of the bank
ing and business community, naturally
makes it impossible for any one to ap-
praise the risks involved in the most
ordinary business transaction"
Control over money and credit
should be vested neither in govern
ment nor in business, he stated, but
in an independent organism such as
the Federal Reserve System was in
tended to be-"
"At present, politics has interferred
50 much" he said, that the Federal
Reserve System is almost completely
under the domination Of the
Treasury"
