SILVER NATIoNALIzED

nationalized silver.
BY the terms of the order the Gov
eminent, under it's powers OF emil
nent domain, arbitrarily takes over
all silver bullion in the United States
as of August 9. Silver imports af-
ter that date are not included.
Neither is silver ore, foreign silver
coins and domestic silver coins. All
domestic holders of silver bullion are
directed to turn over to United
States minis all silver bullion In
their possession.
Holders of silver are given 80 days
within which to deliver it to the
mints.
Theoretically the Government will
pay $1.2929 plus an ounce for the
nationalized silver. Actually 1t Will
pay SO cents an ounce. The differ
ence is the deduction of 81 S-25 per
cent for seigniorage, brassage, COIN
age and other mint charges. The
individual who turns in silver bull
lion to the mint will receive either
in currency or minted silver the
equivalent of SO cents and ounce for
each ounce he surrenders.
A licensing system for the private
purchase of silver within the United
States will further enable the Gov
ernment to keep it's hands on the
supply and prevent the country be-
ing flooded with foreign silver.
Ample provision is made in the
Presidents Executive order making
silver the property of the Govern
ment for the acquisition by private
individuals of all silver legitimately
needed for use in arts and crafts and
industry.
Silver in the following forms is
exempted from the order: silver
coins, foreign or domestic silver OF
fineness of point eight or less; silver
held for industrial, professional or
artistic use; silver owned by a recog-
nized foreign government, foreign
bank, or the Bank of International
Settlement; silver in fabricated form
held for it's customary use and not
for it's value as bullion, and silver
held under license.
| Although silver is now a national
lied commodity, as is gold, it is new
ertheless on a materially different
status than is the yellow metal.
Silver coins will continue to be mint
ed, including the silver dollar. The
import of silver will be watched
carefully and any attempt to dump
it in this country will be immediate
ly stopped.
II was with considerable relief
that Mr.. Morgenthau made the an
nouncement. He has been under
heavy fire from the inflationists and
silverites for the past week or two
for what they charge is his failure to
fulfill the intent of Congress when it
passed laws regarding silver. His
first answer, delivered last week,
was in the assertion that large
amounts of paper currency, backed
by newly purchased silver, were be-
ing printed, and would shortly be is
sued. But the criticisms con-
tinued.

PEONIES FOR FALL SETTING
SHOULD BE ORDERED SOON

1t is not too early to make prep
arations for ordering varieties Of
peonies for fall setting, as September
and October are generally recognize
ed as the best months for planting
this flower, according to Walter R.
Ballard, specialist in landscape gar
defining for the Extension Service.
He says that healthy, vigorous stock,
with divisions of from three ito five
eyes, is preferable to smaller divi-
sions and advises setting them so
that the eyes are three or four inch
es below the surface of the ground.
A deep loan soil that is not too light
in texture is suitable.
Many beautiful varieties are un-
certain in their performance, Mr..
Ballard states, so that ratings,
glowing descriptions and prices are
not always the best guide as to value
in the garden. He recommends for
most all sections of Maryland a list
of IL varieties, which a peony grow
er in the vicinity of Washington, D.
c., has found by experience will give
consistent and dependable bloom.
This list includes four whites, Mrs.
Edward Harding, Kelways Glorious,
Frances Willard, and Alice Harding;
five pinks, Therese, Mons Jules Ellie,
Refine Hortense, Edwin c. Shaw,
and Walton Faxon; three reds, Phil
lipe Rivoire, Matilda Lewis, and
Richard Caryel. Some of these
varieties are somewhat expensive, he
states, but number can be secured
for less than one dollar.
This specialist adds that THE pc
ony is relatively free from pests ana
in addition to its beautiful flowers il
has excellent foliage throughout the
season. Plants from sandy soils
and from warm regions may have
the roots infested with nematodes.
Calls formed ON the roots by this
pest interfere with the growth

That Maryland's financial rating is
good is shown by the price realized
last week when $2,350,000 of four

stitutions, headed by the First Ma

Food prices will be materially
higher next year, says Secretary
wallace, but no shortage is expected.
The drought, which has driven
prospective food and feed supplies
down to the lowest point in 80 years,
is responsible.

the customary supply of sirloin
steaks and pork chops" Wallace de-
clared, 'but there will be plenty OF
food to keep everyone in the best Of

NO AID FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION

What is to become of our boosted
institutions if 100000 children
scattered throughout the United
States are to be longer denied the OPP
portunity of attending school? In
but three to six weeks the schools
will begin to open in the more pros
porous communities, but what of
schools in the subnormal sections of
the country? What steps are being
taken right now to give the children,
the future citizens of this nation, in
the backward sections equal oppor-
tunity with the more fortunate to
prepare for life's serious problems in
the struggle for existence?
1t is up to the President. Educa-
tional and other groups fairly repre-
sentative of great cross section of
our people met in Washington last
spring and made an appeal to Con-
gress and the President through
committee members for federal aid
to the stricken public schools.
This committee succeeded in OBJ
tanning hearings before the House
Committee on Education. A bill
was favorably reported to the House
setting aside $75,000,0O0 of the
huge relief fund for school relief.
That measure died abornlng princi-
pally because a certain strong mi
nority group in the committee in
sisted that the appropriation should
be made available to private and
parochial schools. Some took the
wise position that it were better to
make no appropriation than to open
the U. s. Treasury for the support of
private education. However, edu-
Gators and others who took part in
the meeting last spring expressed
the belief that the President would
authorize the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration, headed by
Mr.. Harry L. Hopkins, who appeared
at the committee hearings, to set
aside 1OO,O0O,000 to relieve, at
least in a meager way, the public
school crisis.
| 1t ought not to require harping
and preaching to the President to
have him understand just how nee
essary education is to a wholesome
carrying on of democratic institu-
lions, and more especially the work
ing of those institutions in the deli
cate completely of the age in which
we now live. But again, it is only
three to six weeks until the schools
should be opened everywhere and all
we are having dinned into our ears
is AAA, CCC, MIRA, PWA, federal
control of electric power, and not a
word from the President about the
greatest essential to the smooth
working Of all these intricate pro-
jects he is attempting to establish.
Of course it is quite necessary that
the industrial, commercial, agricul-
tural and other pursuits be placed on
prosperous basis for many obvious
reasons. However, since the Presi-
dent is struggling to put these ma
ltional activities on their feet, why
lshould the friends Of public schools
be required to preach to him from
the mountain top on the crisis in ed
ucation, only to hear their own ech-
oes as they rebound from the adam
ant walls of the White House?-

NEW PLAN TO GIVE JOBS IS

Elimination of Grade Cross ings Will Employ Thou
 sands of Men

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The grade crossing elimination plan costing upwards of $250,000, 900 and capable of putting thousands of men to work, took on more definite form yesterday as new Public Works program.
 Just how much money will be required to eliminate all grade crossings is problematical but the Bureau of Public Roads has fur nished plans which will call for the expenditure of one quarter of a billion dollars.
 Secretary of Interior Ickes and Joseph B. Eastman, Federal Co., ordinator of Transportation, are heartily back of such a plan.
 About 35 percent of the cost will go to labor and the remainder for material in grade crossing elim- ination to render the highways safer.
 During the first seven months of this year, 827 persons were killed and 2,313 were injured in 20,063 avcidents.

TREKKINC BACK ONCE MORE TO
 CAPITOL HILL
Senators and Representa- tives Return to Washing
 ton After Ele ction
By HERBERT HUMMER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. - With elections out of the way, Capitol Hill, out of the news limelight for weeks, may be expected to come into it's own once again.
 State and Congressional district returns hardly had been tabulat- ed, before the eyes of the success ful turned toward Washington January 3, 1885, the day the 74th Congress will be convened, still is weeks off, but those destined to take part in what has been her aided as the most important ses- sion in history have arrived early.
 Time was when a member of Congress looked forward to the day when Congress was adjourn ed sine die and he could go home In those days (before the new deal") the political community of the capital disintegrated when a session was brought to a close.
 Senators and Representatives caught the first train out of the city. Within a week or so even the press galleries "on the hill' closed down and newsmen assign ed there were transferred to down. town coverage.
