to relieve distress as far as humanity
possible They We're up against Mother
Nature in one of her petulant moods, and
offsetting her pranks is seldom an easy

Solution of the problems presented by
the water shortage offered opportunity
for a great diversity of opinion. In these
there was minimum of selfishness and
a genuine desire on the part of most to

The valley "came through" as it al

had its beneficial side should certainly
not be overlooked. 1t forced cleanup

at present seems like loss.

NEW HIGH LEVEL
Present Total Largest
Since First Week of 1892
as Rise Continues.
BY the Associated Press.

% ttlS hooONAobC0 EAOoos
NEW YORK, April 19.-Bank clear
ings rose even above the high level
Of last week, reaching the largest total
that has appeared ON the records
since the first week of January, 1882.
The total this week for all leading
cities in the United States, as report
ed to Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, was
$5,9s1 ,131 900, or 82.1 per cent larger
than that for the same week of last
year.
At New York City, clearings were

while the total of S1,695, 427 900 for
all centers outside of New York was
higher by 81 per cent.
The large gain this week over a
year ago was in part due to the in
terruption at that time by the Easter
holidays. Furthermore, the recession
caused by the banking disturbances
then continued to be reflected In
banking operations. Settlements
through the banks at many cities this
week have exceeded those of any pre-
cedlng week for the past two years.
The total is in excess of that for the
preceding week this year by $27I, 4s2,-

Relief Is Talked
On Broader Scale
For Home Owners
BY the Associated Press.

.
The Governments home loan agen-
cies are working along q program
they believe will relieve distressed
home owners, even though they fall
outside the emergency coverage of the
Home Owners Loan Corporation.
Under legislation now before Con-
gress no home owner not in distress
before the middle of 1888 might ap-
peal for aid from the H. o. L. c.
This provision, 1t is said authori-
tatively. was sought to prevent claims
OF distress from persons not actually
In need Of aid.
However. through building and loan
associations and Federal savings and
loan associations-the local building
and loan groups receiving aid from
the Government-special efforts are
being made to help deserving cases,
no matter when they occur.
Officials find that in most cases
1t Is possible to work out a program
to help an owner who has fallen in
trouble through illness in the family
or sudden loss Of job, for example.
This assistance, officials hope, will
result in constant check on the
distress situation as 1t arises. No
definite scheme has been laid out yet,
however.

FIRST YEAR ENDS
WITH NEW DOLLAR
Results on Price Structure
and Future Course
Still Uncertain.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.

AoooCldIco EEceo EluduClhl EultoEs
tCopyright, 1884, by the Associated Press)
NEW YORK, April 19.-On this
first birthday of the new dollar. the
world of finance is chiefly interested
in what this dollar is going to look
like on its second birthday.
The monetary doctors widely agree
that the dollar will not buy as much
a year from now, as it will today.
Whether it will contain less gold, or
even some silver, remains mote ques-
tons.
The dollar informally left. the gold
standard March 4, 1898, when the
Federal Reserve Bank ceased redeem
ing paper currency with gold, but it
was April 10, year ago, that former
Treasury Secretary Woodin formally
announced the dollar was no longer a
gold dollar, but managed dollar.
Our monetary unit now finds itself
on a modified gold bullion Standard
1884 model" according to Secretary
Morgenthau-and stripped from Is 8
grains of gold, nine-tenths fine, to
Is 5/2l grains.
Under legislation enacted last May,
and last January, the President may
increase the amount of gold in the
dollar tr1fie. that is, to 1548 grains,
and may decrease it substantially. in
TACT to as little as 1873 grains.
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Morgenthau have made it clear that
they wish to continue with the pres
ent dollar of is 5/21 grains, for the
time being.
In the meantime. the silver bloc in
Congress is agitating for greater mon
etary use Of silver. The administra-
ton has been cool to most of the sill
yer proposals, and usually welI-in-
formed quarters assert that any man
oatory silver legislation of extreme
monetary moment would be vetoed.
80, barring unexpected DEVELOPMENTS
In silver, the future of the dollar is
Wioely expected to depend largely upon
whether the President decides to cut
the gold content further. and upon the
adjustment of the general price level
TO the reduction in the gold content of
the currency already executed.
Although the dollars gold content
has been cut nearly Al per cent, the
currency has as yet shown no such
shrinkage IN purchasing power. The
Bureau of Labor index of commodity
prices for March shows a gain of only
2212 per cent owe a year earlier.
But this is probably substantially
larger than the rea- increase in the
cost of living to date. since rising
prices percolate but slowly into such
relatively fixed but important items as
rents, medical costs and insurance. As
a matter Of fact. the National Indus
trial Conference Boards index for the
cost of living, from March, 1893, to
March, 1884, shows an increase Of
only 9.3 per cent.
And even though the gold content
Of the dollar be not further reduced,
many economists agree, although
opinion is far from unanimous, that
general price levels. over a period of
a few years, will adjust themselves to
the new value of gold. So if this is
true. the present gold bullion dollar
would show substantial decrease in
purchasing power. probably by next
April 10. regardless of whether it is
diluted with silver, or stripped of more
gold.

Cases of Measles In the County;
Treatment Suggested

There have been several cases of
measles in Loeb Lynn recently and an
outbreak in Bloomington, due to the
infection being introduced among the
school by visitors from outside the
county, according to DR.. E. c. Peck,
health officer.
In Loeb Lynn the first case was a
visitor from Westernport, little boy
who went to the Loeb Lynn school for
two days and then broke out with the
measles. No physician was notified of
the illness until about three weeks
later when the Health Officer found
two infants in the family i'll of bron-
cho pneumonia as a complication of
measles. One of these infants died
Thanksgiving day.
Measles has spread from the adj
jacent towns in Allegany county into
Bloomington and there are 20 cases
reported from that community at this
time. None Of the patients appears
to be very seriously i'll, it was stated.
parents and teachers should be on
the watch for this disease" DR.. Peck
said, "and should regard every child
with a cold with suspicion, especially
if a frequent soft cough and red eyes
are present. The disease is contag-
ious for several days before the rash
appears.
eff it is known that a young baby
of six months to two years of age has
been exposed to measles, physician
should be consulted Immediately, as
serum is now available which may be
purchased or prepared from the

Getty Browning Given Praise In
North Carolina Newspaper

Speaking of R. Getty Browning,
former Garrett countian, as the
"Soft-spoken highway engineer, who
was the moving factor in hard
campaign that brought a $16,000,000
Parkway over the Mountains into
North Carolina" two page illustrated
article in the News and Observer, of
Raleigh, North Carolina, issue Of
Sunday, November 10, gives him
much of the credit for getting the
highway approved by the Secretary
of State, Harold L. Ickes, and the
Public Works Administration.
Mr.. Getty is brother of Richard
Browning and Miss Margaret Brown
ing, of Oakland, a son of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard T. Browning,
and has been in highway engineering
work for over 20 years. A graduate
of the University of Maryland, he
became connected with the highway
commission of Maryland and in 1921
went to North Carolina. He is now
in charge of the locating and claims
department of that state.
The Observer said that modest
and unassuming, Mr.. Browning
worked quietly, but how we'll he
wrought is now a matter of record"
The newspaper gives an entire page
to the story of the highway which
will be built during the next several
years. Mr.. Browning will have
charge of the bulk of the prepare
tory work.
