AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS

In the early days of flying, if our
memory serves us correctly, most persons
involved in airplane accidents were killed
outright. At least, very large percent
age were. 1t was little surprising, there
fore, to read a recent report which states
that during the last few years only one out
of seven persons involved in airplane
crashes was fatally hurt.
Most surprising still is the statement
that of all those involved in air accidents
60 per cent received no injuries at all.
About Is per cent were killed. 10 per cent
were seriously injured and Is per cent
were only slightly hurt.
Causes of accidents have been
studied, resulting in the conclusion that
about 81 per cent were due to errors by
pilots; structural failures in planes caused
a little more than 9 per cent, motor
failures II per cent, while miscellaneous
and doubtful causes account for the re-
mainder.
During the three-year period covered
by the report there was total of 1894 &C
cidents recorded, involving 1858 persons
of whom lab were killed, 947 were
severely injured, 1896 received minor in
juries and 5,005 were unhurt.

MALARIA VS.. PARESIS

If we could only discover it, the>S
may be, as jacques declares in "As You
Like IT, some good in everything" 1t
is unquestionably true that much that is
good and useful has been found in most
unexpected quarters. For example, in
malaria germs.
For quite while experiments have
been made which have tended to show
that the germs of malaria retard the prog
ress of paresiS, or partial paralysis.
A report of cases made by DIR. Gill
lispie, hospital assistant at Binghampton,
N. Y, states that more than one-third of
the patients suffering from paresis at that
institution during recent months have been
so improved by the injection of malaria
germs into their blood that they have been
permitted to go to their homes.
DR.. Gillispie does not claim that this
treatment can be relied upon as a cure,
but among the cases treated all but about
one-third have shown a favorable re-
spouse. This is most hopeful indication
of progress toward control of one of the
most dreaded diseases which menaces
mankind.
The idea of setting one disease to
fight another is fascinating and may have
great possibilities as applied to therapeu
tics of the future.

KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here Just 10 Years
Ago Today AZ Taken From
The Files OF The Citizen

Hon. Jorge R. Ponce, Cuban
consul at Key West, who is at the
present time in Havana, reports
Cuba rapidly recovering from the
effects of the storm which passed
over the island several days ago
and left death and destruction IN
its wake. In a telegram TO Bolivar
Recio last night Mr.. Ponce asks
that Cuba's friends in Key West
be advised that the Island RePub-
lie has broken all records IN re-
covering from the most ire
mendous hurricane which has ever
struck North America. This mes
sage will be received with part
cular pleasure by all the people
in Key West, for every one SYM
pathizes with the calamity which
befell that friendly and progress
sive nation.

England and France but also with

This new plan has features that
require Qualification. When our coun-
try is on gold standard, the number
of gold dollars in an ounce of gold IS
fixed by law-aS. for example. at S35
per ounce. We had supposed that we
were on somewhat restricted gold
standard internationally (but on an
inconvertible paper standard inter-
nally) until this new announcement
appeared, for the reason that on jan
uary 81, 1884, the price of fine ounce
of gold in international exchange was
fixed at 1885, 10 T74CSk-
Now. according to this new plan.
the selling price of an ounce of gold
is to be on a day-to-day' basis. It
begins with a price of $35 per fine
ounce plus a One-quarter per cent
handling charge until further no.
tice" According to reliable press re-
ports as TO the Secretary's statements
regarding this new policy. he pointed
out that IF at any time it appeared
that the domestic situation was being
put at a disadvantage the Treasury
would feel at liberty to take appro-
pirate action"
What is this appropriate action?
Apparently it refers to changing the
price of gold-and this includes the
paper money price of gold.
The Secretary is also reported to
have said that "the purchase and sale
prices of gold may fuctuate." and
that this could be accomplished un-
der the law. without further devahia-
ton of the dollar" This means that
the price of gold is to be juggIed by
address questions 20 the al

| the Secretary as he sees fit. within the
limits of the Gold Reserve Act of
January. 1884. 1t also means that our
paper money will be at discount or
premium in terms of gold in accord
ance with the Secretary's discretion.
For some time monetary economists
have attempted to warn the people of
this country that there was a move
on foot to place US on a managed
paper currency system. and that this
Administration might slip such plan
over on the people before they could
be informed as to what it was all
about.
It seems quite probable that the
announced plan constitutes definite
