OUTLINES STAMP SCRIP

On a given future date the gov

presenting them, provided that it
has 50 stamps affixed on the back.
A note without any stamps will be
void. If it has less than 50 stamps
the government should pay the hold

The money realized by the gov
eminent from the sale of stamps
will actually have paid the bonus.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ

COLD is now being mined at the
~ highest rate in the history Of
the world, DR.. Adolph Knopf, pro-
fessor of geology at Yale University,
reports.
The worlds output for 1854
reached 27,475,O00 ounces, he says.
This was worth $3.50, 100000. He
points out, however, that we must,
be careful in comparing this figure
with that for previous years because
of President Roosevelt's decree Of
1884 which raised the price of gold
from $20.67 an ounce to S35.
From 1890 onward, the worlds
annual output mounted steadily till
1915, when it attained $470, 100000"
Prof. Knopf writes in the current
issue of The Semitic Monthly.
Although it reached a peak in.
that year, the increase during the
previous 10 years had been small.
In other words. essentially an equi-
librium between resources and pro-
duction had been established.
n
l"THE World War then caused the
i purchasing power of gold to
diminish. Everything the miner used
increased in price, but the price of
his gold remained the same. Conse-
quently, the worlds production soon
began to dwindle. In the United
States it dwindled steadily from the
all-tine peak OF S101 100000 to
S45 100000 in 1927 and world pro-
duction declined to $320.000,000, al
most exactly proportional to the de-.
cline in the purchasing power of the
dollar"
THE low point of the worlds out
put O. gold was reached in 1922,
Prof. Knopf says, but it has been
increasing continuously since.
I'm the last few years, after so
many countries went off the gold
standard, production has been ac-
tolerated" he says. THE world
price of gold is determined In the
London market, and is now the
highest in the history of gold, IA
shillings per ounce"
Prof. Knopf states that in recent
years, most of the worlds gold has
been produced by three countries,
South Africa, the United States and
Canada. But in 1884, Russia forged
ahead to second place and Canada
dropped back to fourth.

OTHER OPINION
On Constitutional Change

IRep. Amlie, Wisconsin Progressive.1
It is almost certain that the
Roosevelt Administration will be
forced to bring out some sort of a
constitutional amendment de-
signed to legalize that which the
Supreme Court has declared illegal
but going no farther. An amend
ment of this kind would not give
the Congress the power necessary to
solve the economic problems of the
country.
Such an amendment. like the
Roosevelt policies generally, might
promise much, produce little and
merely prevent any fundamen-
tai change. Such an amendment
would be inadequate and in the
long run productive of more harm
than good.
If the great struggle to modernize
the Constitution Of the United
States is to be launched, we must be
on guard to see that it is not just
another Roosevelt slogan-half-
hearted compromise, or sham battle.

may be likened to the cdntractual
obligations of an old-fashiened FAM
lily to its separate members, where
the family must continue to live
and produce and consume as a unit
Certain members, for one reason OF
another, are axle to make loans to
the family as whole. and these
loans must be paid back out Of the
production of the family as a whole.
But in theory at least it makes
no difference how large are the
debts. since the wealth and standard
of living of the family will depend
upon what ali its members can pro-
duce, regardless Of which particular
members have a right to the greatel
share.
The real welfare of the family
or the nation-can be measured only
in terms Of goods and services pro-
diced and consumed or used, rather
than IA terms Of money.

- ton of scurvy, vitamin c is
rated one of the most important
substances to be found in foods.
Any one can ward of scurvy,
which heralds its coming by Pc
Rod Of pains like those of mild in
lection or rheumatic conditions. by
taking regularly small amount OF
vitamin c.
You must remember, in doing so,
that this is the most easily de-
stroyed of all vitamins. Fresh or
raw fruits and vegetables are more
certain to contain this vitamin
than other products treated in
various ways.
To secure the proper amount of
vitamin c, take, each day, either an
ounce Of orange, grapefruit, or
lemon juice; a pint of milk, or an
average portion of canned tomatoes,
raw cabbage, or onions.
Just for safetys sake, 1t might be
wiser to have several of these foods,
or to take fresh berries, apples,
bananas, peaches, green peas, or
pineapple, which are also rich in
this vitamin.
Incidentally. many fruit juices,
fruits, and vegetables can now be
canned and preserved in such way
that they retain their vitamin g
value.
IF your baby is fed artif1cially ON
= pasteurized milk mixtures, it
should have extra orange juice to
protect it from vitamin c deficiency.
A half teaspoonful of orange juice
is sufficient at first; but the amount
should be increased steadily so that
by the time baby is or 6 months
old. he is getting the juice of an
entire orange.
When orange juice isn't available
for the tot, the juice of cabbage,
turnips, or carrots, of strawberries
and similar fruits, and particularly
of tomatoes, will do as we'll.

require.
There are, by the way, chemical

that an excess of this vitamin will
do one any harm.

in this lineup and I believe my

place would jerk Gibbons, who is

with Joe Williams, who probably is
the ace of them all. It is the left
half back who carries the ball and
who has to be versatile. He is the
key man on any team. whether it is

SUGGESTS USE FOR
AAA TAX

=
AAA TAX
BY E. F.
According to the Supreme Court,
the AAA is unconstitutional. I'M
derstand the money collected and
paid to the farmer is illegal, but I
do not understand what right the
miller and packer have to this
money when they admit the tax was
paid by the consumer.
If we complained about the high
price of pork the butcher said 1t
was caused by the processing tax
which the packer added. A few
weeks ago the increased price Of
bread was blamed on the processing
tax. Recently Siebel G. Harris,
member of leading grain commits
sion firm, said Before making
sales without the processing tax in
cluded, millers will want to be alb
solutely satisfied they are on firm
ground"
In newspapers, all articles and
radio broadcasts, every one admitted
the tax always has been paid by the
consumer.
Since the Supreme Court rules
the money can not be used for the
purpose it was meant, I can not see
what claim the miller and the pack
er have to the money. 1t seems to
me the proper place for it would be
IN the United States Treasury as it
would be impossible to return it to
the rightful owners, the consumers.

easily changed in effect on many
nlomentous questions as could the
Republican majority of the Supreme
Court who are now interpreting it.
When Congress has the constitu-
tional power to enlarge the Supreme
Court and yet submits to the will
of the opposing political party, as
expressed by divided vote of to
on the AAA, we can not escape the
conclusion that Congress believes:
l. That the meaning of the Con-
stitution is a matter of indisputable
fact.
2. That the votes of the Supreme
Court majority are in no wise in
fluenced by partisan politics.
3. That the testimony of the Re-
public chief justice was incorrect.
In view of these facts it seems
somewhat cowardly for Congress to
confess that the people have the
right to pack Congress with repre-
sentatives to do their will, but not
the Supreme Court-that is sacred.
