San Francisco, Oct. II (AP)--Fan-

roared through timber and brush in
widely scattered sections of northern
California, leaving behind three dead
and untold property damage.
Thirteen men and children were cut
off from -escuers by fires in Placer

destroyed most of the hamlet of

Only the sudden change of the
wind and the valient work of volun-

other widely scattered towns.
Some two thousand fire fighters,
including WPA Workers, fire ward
ems fifty firemen, and volunteers,
fought the flames which unofficial
estimates said would cause damages
in the millions of dollars.
Firemen saved the Antioch hospital
in the San Francisco bay area.
Flames swept to the very door of
the hospital in which were 10 patients
and two new born babes.

es. The true cause was the wasteful
and inefficient public spending dur
ing her reconstruction period. Be
ginning in 1919, the German treasury
paid out far more than it collected
in taxes. When GeEmany's credit
was exhausted and she could no long
er borrow to meet her bills, she was
forced to the desperate resort of print
ing paper money.
In November 1923, Germany wiped
out her worthless paper money and
established a new currency in the
ratio of one new mark to one trillion
of the old paper marks! Just before
the new currency was established,
the cost of living was more than one
trillion times the pre-war level. From
our standpoint, the most alarming
fact about Germany's initiation is that
it all started with exactly the same
type of public spending that is going
on in this country today. Politics and
