DEATH OF YOUTH
 HELD ACCIDENTAL
Deputy Coroner Believes Marinelli Fell From Win-
 dow of K. R. Station

As investigation of the death of Joseph Marinella, 25, of 75 Lin- wood street, entered the third day today, accidental death seemed the most probable verdict of au- thorities. Deputy. Coroner Walter w. Smyth, acting on the informa- ton at hand, believes that Mari. nelli leaned too far out the win dow 35 feet above the railroad station canopy, lost his balance, and fell.
 The time of the fall has been set by the deputy coroner as shortly before I:30. Marinelli must have lain there all night long as his body was not discovered till 5:30. Rushed to St Mary's hospital, he died few minutes after he had been taken down from the canopy by firemen.
 A friend of Marinelli's told the deputy coroner last night that it was the fall victims habit to sleep in the room at the railroad station whenever he missed the last bus for his home. The companion was with Marinelli until he entered the railroad station after midnight, Saturday night.

 Hunger marches, street fights, parades and demonstrations in Connecticut before city halls and the recently much-publicized Mem Nrial Day parade in Hartford were all led and directed by .Commu- nists. These operations are for training for the war to come.'
 'Parlor pinks,' including sev- eral misguided clergymen, viewed with alarm as is their custom, and denounced the brutality of the po- lice when the Memorial Day par ade was broken up. Perhaps if these misguided liberals knew that Communists claim credit for creating strikes affecting 1,000,0 900 workers in this country in: 1884. they would not be so hasty to rise to their defense"

 Yes, and downright dishonest, too, call it." snapped Pa Jones. "The government bond I bought back during the war days says payable in gold and now they not only refuse to make good on that promise, but they put you in jail if you happen to have gotten the gold!"

LEAGUE TRIES TO
 PREVENT BREAK
Dispute Between JugO- slavia, Hungary May G0
 to Special Reporter
BY WALLACE CARROLL Copyright. 1884, by United Press)

kCopyflgnt, 1VS4, by United FreSS)
 Geneva. December 2 = (UP) - The League of Nations council to- day took up the task of presenting a break ]. betweens Jugoslavia and Hungary in the hope their bitter dispute would be submitted to im- partial negotiators.
 League councillors hoped to ar- range an investigation. They also hoped to report on Jugoslavia's s complaint that Hungary sheltered the assassin of King Alexander and the Hungarian protest against Ju- goslavia's expulsion of Hungarian citizens.
 It was regarded as certain that when the council met formally there would be debate between Be- goljub Jevtic, Jugoslavian foreign minister, and Tibor Eckhardt, Hungary's league delegate.
 Councillors hoped to refer the dispute to a special reporter, either Captain Anthony Eden of Great Britain or Salvador De Madariaga of Spain. for a report to the Jan- uary council meeting.
 This would serve to postpone any assessment of blame until those most interested had had time to be- come calm.
 The plan was. if possible. to ar range for. a report by the special reporter first on Hungary's alleged moral responsibility for the Mar seiiles assassination and secondly on measures which would prevent repetition of the tactics used by the Marseilles assassins. These measures would include new extra dition laws, aimed at putting ter rorists into the criminal class, and new regulations and bills of rights for political exiles generally.
 The council meeting was called for today before Jugoslavia started the mass expulsions of .Hungarians. This session Is an extraordinary one convened to consider the Saar situation. and the Jugoclavian com- plaint that Hungary sheltered at the Jankapufta murder farm" of Croatian exiles the gang that plot ted King Alexander's murder.
 As the councillors planned their tactics before the meeting, the Hungarian Red Cross telegraphed International Red Cross headquart- CTS here appealing for dispatch of delegate to investigate the plight of the thousands of refugees.

PA JONES WONDERS WHAT DOLLARS VALUE REALLY IS TO-DAY

"Yes, and we owed a $i,500 mortgage on the house and $500 to yholesaie hs1ses." laughed John. Jr. II guess we're pretty even 6n that. But in general the idea seems all right to me.
 Most debts were contracted when things were high in dollars. |.So this devaluation, by cutting tna amount Of gold to a dollar, tends to make things such as sugar atid wheat worth more in dollars (even if they stay the same in gOidl and make it possible to pay off some Of the debts.
 ..And you'll agree, Dad, that un- til the country gets out of debt some, it'll never be the same" The declared object of the Roosevelt administration in asking (and getting) from Congress power to devalue the gold dollar was to make 1t such a. dollar that "those who owe money can repay with the same kind of dollar which they borrowed"
 7, President Roosevelt further said he wanted to continue to adjust the dollar 50 that it will have about the same buying power ill goods a generation hence as it has to-day. That means, a dollar would buy about the same number of bushels of wheat, or pairs of shoes next year as it does to-day. It might be equal to less Cor more) gold. That is managed currency" the kind of dollar we now have.
 AIDS FOREIGN TRADE
 "You notice foreign trade gained quite a bit last year, too," John, Jr, pointed out. That's mostly be- cause our dollar being cheaper in terms of gold, some countries can now afford to deal in it, when they couldn't before, because 1t took too many francs or pounds or lira to equal a dollar.
 Its pretty hard in the world to- day to have dollar that hasn't got some reasonable relation to money in other countries.'
 T suppose so." grumbled Pa Jones. "But what I'm afraid of is that we'll get 1t too much like some of those foreign currencies and just depreciate 1t on down. ward until 1t isn't worth anything. That's what we've got to watch!" Copyright, 1884, NEA Service, Inc.
 NEXT: Security and Exchange Regulation-JOnes, Jr, thinks of taking a little flyer in National Doughnut, and Pa explains how the government has taken 8 hand in that, too.

WOMAN SERIOUSLY
 INJURED.BY AUTO
Mrs DiLeOne Given Splen- did Chance of :,
 Recovery

After a comparatively comfort able night, Mrs Mary 'DiLeone, .53, of Meriline avenue, victim of an auto accident early last night, was conceded an excellent chance for recovery at St Mary's hospital. X-rays were taken this morning to determine the exact extent of in- juries which have been diagnosed as possible fractures of the right hip and right leg. She Is also suf- fering from a scalp wound.
 Mrs DiLeone was injured at 6 o'clock last night when struck by q car operated by Romeo Dumouchel of 345 Highland avenue at a spot near the underpass on the Cheshire road. She was crossing the street at the time of the accident.
 Dumouchel told Deputy Coroner w. w. Smyth that he was blinded by the lights of oncoming cars and did not see the woman in time to avoid having the car strike her.

Tell the truth, l never gave It a thought until two years ago. Since then I've thought a lot. It took me a long time to realize that g. dollar isn't something fixed in Scripture, but just something that congress creates. "The Constitution gives congress power to coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin ..s.' Why, gosh, that means con- gress could, declare wooden nickels legal and they would be !" They'd be legal all right, but nobody'd take 'em," smiled John, Jr. <: Money regulation seems to be 8 combination between what the government wants to do and what people will do.
 PEOPLE HAVE SAY-SO
 T remember in that course we had in high school, when French money was inflated before the revolution there, they had the death penalty for anyone who took the persmoney for less than the value printed on it. But that didn't stop it sliding to practically zero.
 Congress has the power to regulate money, all right, but the money must be real or people won't take it. The powers linn ited by facts even if not by law"
 Now, for instance" Pa re- sumed thoughtfully. "A dollar was always dollar up to the beginning of 1888, because you could always get certain amount of gold from the government for one ."
 "Yes, you could" interrupted John, Jr. But what we forget was that maybe that certain

amount of gold wasn't as fixed as we thought. Gold is just a commodity, rising and falling in value with demand and scarcity, just like lead or oil.
 AAlso, there's lot of inter- national speculation in 1t, and. the price is affected by how much different countries have of it."
 GOLD VALUE FLUCTUATES
 T see that gold varies in value, all right.'' said Pa Jones, a little testify. "But it's the most stable thing there is, and we hung to 1t for years. and kept the dollar the best money in the world"
 "All right. But in Depe4nber, 1892, you know gold waA very high and prices were very low This was. partly due, I suppose, to large supplies of goods with nobody buying, but also due partly to the high price of gold by itself.i Anyway, the point is, the rela- tionship between a gold dollar and a pound of sugar was all out of kilter. and a customer who had been owing you for five years for 100 pounds of sugar would be pay ing you for maybe 200 pounds of sugar if he paid the debt in gold dollars in 1882.
 You'll admit you'd have been even if you got only half as much gold as the bill called for"
 DISHONEST, SAYS DAD
 "Huh! Don't think I didn't cut a lot of those bills in half to settle 'em, tool" murmured Pa Jones.
 "Sure, Dad, but most people didn't" continued John, Jr. .'So that's when we went off the gold
