Sharp criticism of the monetary
views of James P. Warburg, prom
inent New York banker, is CON
tanned in a vigorous article by Sir
Henri w. A. Deterding entitled
Silver, Its international Position"
appearing in the current issue OF
Economic Forum.
Sir Henri, head Of the Royal
Dutch Shell interests, classifies
Mr.. Warburg among the interns
tional bankers, whom he bitterly
assails, along with the gold en-
thuSiast economists, for their posi-
ton to a silver policy which would
aid the Far East. Sir Henri de-
clared:
Bankers, like Mr.. Warburg,
lack the power of thinking from
q trade point of view, and their
whole attention is centered on
money as a metal, instead OF
considering it as a yardStick of
trade. The international bank
ers, in their concern over their
gold stocks of metal, have a
warped point Of view. The gold
policy has led to idle men, idle
factories and idle ships. The
real question we are up against
today is-'How can we improve
trade"
Sir Henri's references to Mr..
Warburg we're prompted by a pub
lished opinion of the banker ques-
tioning the intelligence of those
who argue that raising the price
of silver will benefit the silver
countries, particularly China. Mr..
Warburg had written why
should it be good for China to
raise her units value, if it is good
for the United States to depre.
ciate it's dollar?"
Outlines Events
The gold enthusiasts and inter-
national bankers, Sir Henri's ar
ticle points out, started the pres
ent monetary debacle soon after
the war, by Systematically forcing
the price of silver down by de-
monetization of their own silver
currency. India's transference to
a gold bullion standard further
deprecated silver, he says, and
helped bring on China's present
condition.
It is the contention of the
article, which the editors of Eco
nonlic Forum declare to be one
of the most forceful which has
recently appeared on the subject,
that purchasing power of the
masses in Asia can best be
achieved by the rehabilitation Of
silver. through a reasonable sta
bilization of it's value in relation
to gold"
Almost simultaneously with the
appearance of the article, the
editors of Economic Forum have
issued a book by Sir Arthur Sal.
ter. British economist, advancing
a view in many ways diametri-
cally opposed to Sir Henri's. Sir
Arthur'S book is entitled China
and Silver"

The latter was the lowest for

GAS Prices Raised
Sharply in Virqi11ia

RICHMOND, Va, June 1S.-
Protests to Governor George c.
Peery against what were described
as discriminatory prices Of gaso-
line in the Winchester area and
certain sections Of northern Vir.
ginia have been followed by price
advances to cause almost uniform
state. The price in the Peters,
burg area was advanced AZ cents
a few days ago, gasoline now
being about 20 cents a gallon
there.
A similar increase has just be-
come effective in the Richmond
district. It is estimated that the
increased price Of gasoline will
cost Richmond consumers approx
imately $750,000 a year.

Buyers were generally unwilling to
pay premiums for such deliveries,

substantial quantities.
It was considered likely that even
moderately favorable turn in general

have been brought more or less
unwillingly under the code for the
construction industry. It was the
contention Of these gentlemen
that the latter coue-with its four
principal divisions and many
minor divisions, covered the code
for the land development indus
try as well.
,Waverly Taylor was the one
who took the floor and impressed
Administrator Mcdugh, assisted
by Messrs. Cater, MCGUIRE, NUM-,
Barkin, and Chase, with the very
urgent need of separate code for
the land development industry.
The land development industry
Is no part Of the construction in.
dustry-Mr. Taylor plainly proved.
In the latter industry the builder
takes property already appraised
ct a market value, he Is usually
handed the specifications and
knows the program Of financing
involved in the construction and
has nothing to do but closely
scan his contracts and subcon
tracts.
The land developers problem is
different. He must first find the
suitable location for his subdivi.
sion. Then he must determine
the character Of construction to
be erected thereon. Next and most
important of all, he must arrange
the financing and take his
chances on having met the public
demand with his construction.
# there is a loss the land de-
veloper must bear it alone and if
there Is a profit it must be shared
with a number Of others who were
interested in the project.
Some Of the protestants de.
clared they had never heard Of
such an industry as the land de-
velopers and that the general con.
struction code met all necessary
requirements.
They were all very silent when
Mr.. Yalor finished, however.
Realtor William c. Miller, who
Is both a construction man and q
land developer, helped Mr.. Taylor
along somewhat. Mr.. Miller, 1t
will be remembered, is a member
Of the code authority for the con.
Struction industry and knows both
sides Of the case.
Others who spoke on behalf OF
the proposed code were j. c.
Nichols, Of Kansas City; H. E.
Gilbert, Baltimore; Daniel Craw'
ford, Philadelphia and Attorney
James C. Wilkes of this city.
OF course, Mr.. Cafritz was pres.
ent in the dual capacity of host
and land developed. Others in.
cluded Marshall Waple, of this
city. Jack Mowbray. Philip Lamb,

Stubborn InvasiCn of Household
Pest Scheduled For This Season
Every indication points to the COM
ing season being one of the worst
we have had for years as far as
that great household nuisance, the
ant, is concerned. The unusual
rains the past winter, followed by
the early warm weather provide an
ideal combination for activity
among ants. There is no need,
however, for housewives to be ap-
prehensive in this connection, be-
cause although the ant is a terrible
nuisance, he is apparently an easy
fellow to control. All that is neces-
sary, is to spread that magic REM
edy, Kellogg's Ant Paste, where
ants are accustomed to enter the
house, and the speed with which
they leave is nothing short of
phenomenal. Do not make the
mistake, therefore, of ordering SIM
ply an ant remedy, but insist upon
the old, reliable Kellogg's Ant
Paste, which can be obtained at all
druggists. Order a package now.

Dairymen of the valley will be

George L. Winwright, assistant farm
advisor, that Secretary Henry Wal
lace is meeting with representatives
of the dairymen of the state on
June 2, in Sacramento, where they
hope to discuss with him Califor-
MAS dairy problems.
Both houses of congress have
recently passed a bill providing for
an appropriation of $50,000.000 for
elimination of diseased cattle and
for purchase of dairy products to
be used in emergency relief work.
At the recent meeting OF the
board of directors for the Califor-
mia Dairy council, held in San Luis
Obispo, DR.. C. u. Duckworth, as
sistant state director of agriculture,
reviewed the present t. b. situation
and outlined possible developments
which, from his view point, would
be likely to prove detrimental to
the welfare of the industry.
He referred to the steadily grow
ing number of localities in which
the sale is prohibited of any milk,
cream, or manufactured dairy pro-
ducts of any kind, not derived
from non-reacting tuberulin tested
cows, mentioning the San Bernar-
dino county ordinance. He said

mo, the job you'll get me will last

I'll be back on the breadline again. y
All this time, Bennett stared at
me through steely grey eyes which
had the widest look in them I've
ever seen in any man. His face was
flushed and his dark hair v9s toss
ed and rumpled. He was shaking
like a leaf.

According to information receiv-
ed by c. B. Collins, county super
intendent of schools, certain asso-
Citations are starting a drive to
"get rid of fixed charges" which,
according to the letter from the
c. T. A, is another way of cutting
school support.
The association points out that
the state average for maintining
child in the elementary schools
is but 45 cents per day, and Sc
cents per day for a high school
student.

SACRAMENTO. May 81. U.P)-
Charles G. Johnson, steadfastly
clinging to his faith in his young
est and best beloved child, pointed
today to what he considered new
flaws in the police assertion that
Virginia johnson killed herself.
While excerpts from the popular
debutante IS diary indicated a shat
tered romance, johnson, state
treasurer and candidate for COVER
nor, insisted she had been murder
ed.
New evidence included the fact a
partially-filled jug of inflammable
. fluid found near Virginia IS char
red body had not come from the
johnson home. the politician said.
Furthermore he said youth queS-
toned by police had not told all
he knew about the death.
johnson, aided by Dr. Z. 0.
Heinrich, prominent criminologist,
pursued an independent investiga-
tion of the tragedy. Police closed
their case with an assertion that
Virginia, i'll and disappointed in
love, had poured kerosene On her
dress and applied match.
Heinrich, after spending a day
examining evidence, returned to his
Berkeley laboratory. He planned to
return here Saturday or Sunday to
continue the investigation.
Neither suicide nor murder was
impossible or improbable in this
case,' the famous scientific detec-
tive said.
Examination of Miss Johnson S
diary showed young man named
Pat" sent her a note telling her
that "all is over between US.
A pSychiatrist revealed that the
girl was suffering from nervous dis
orders and had developed a psyche
sis based. on fears of becoming un-
conscious, of trouble with ceveral
boys, and of her sisters approach
ing motherhood.
