Ibn saud has encouraged the Arabs
and has even melted them to rebel

them any official assistance. The rea-
son for this, 50 at least British OBJ

want to risk an open conflict with
Great Britain until British forces are
deeply engaged either in a conflict
in Europe or mass rebellion in In

than likely that the mobile forces Of

Transjordania and Iraq to assist their

s. ~ H, WHAT tangled web
we weave, when first we
practice to deceive" was
~ not spoken of self-decep-
ton, but it might well have been.
Certainly we are learning thoroughly
the lesson that depressions and booms
cannot be regulated by manipulating
the monetary thermostat. Changing
the size Of the dollar doesn't guaran-
tee the unemployed job; but it may
increase the tax rate
Speaking for an administration
which fears boom. Chairman Eccles
recently expressed his view that none
tary policy is only single instru-
ment for controlling-or attempting
to control-booms and depressions.
That was as true in 1888 as it Is. in
1887. Yet how numerous and in
1uential were those who thought that
by a simple change in the price Of
gold, or by the far-fetched rehabilita-
ton OF silver, the depression would be
overcome and happiness reign.
We followed their advice. We
changed our currency system. We did
many other things as we'll, to speed
up spending and to raise prices. Now
times are better-very much better.
Doubtless many OF the things which
were done in Washington deserve
credit for the fact that recovery has
not been longer postponed, that un-
employment Is not greater than it is.
Yet in rectifying old unbalances we
have created new evils, distortions
which are bound to cause us trouble.
They are already troubling us. Due
to few strokes Of the pen, few
printed pages, surprising changes are
under way-changes which too few
were wise enough to foresee in the
turbulent days Of 1898.
Imagine a modern Rip Van Wrinkle,
doing drowsily under tree in 1890.
In his lap is copy Of the report of
the League OF Nations gold delegation,
signed by the best experts the League
was able to find. Concerning the out
look for gold production, the delegation
gloomily concluded:
Il" Unless new and unexpected
sources of supply are discovered, the
decline in the output of gold is likely
to continue at an accelerated rate after
1910, as the South African mines,
which account for over so per cent Of
the present annual production, become
gradually exhausted"
This statement was accompanied by
a table estimating decline in the
world output of gold from $404 000, 900
in 1890 to 370,o0o,0oO by 1889
Gold Production Increased.
Now it is 1887 and Rip Van Wrinkle
is stirring in his unsound dreams
Well may he rub his eyes as he picks
up newspaper, for here is the 1887
world production of gold not decreased,
but increased in terms OF ounces. The
metal has been taken out Of hand-to-
hand circulation everywhere. India
has disgorged it by the hundreds Of
millions. It has been revalued so as to
effect, the world over, a 10 per cent
increase in the purchasing power Of

 Runaway Goes To Sea
 Richard King was born in Orange County, N. J., in 1921, found himself apprenticed at 10 to a jeweler, didn't like it, and casually ran away.
 He slowed away on a vessel bound for Mobile and, with some thing of the luck which pursued him throughout his life, happened to find one of the few kindly men who in those days went down to rough seas on rough ships. The captain liked the boy, sent him to school and later taught him the trade of steamboat explaining and how to trade Shrewdly.
 King fought in the Seminole War and the Mexican War and became acquainted with that unbelievably sluggish and unattractive Rio Grande, with its sagebrush borders, its quicksand and its preposterous meanderings. He met schooners at the mouth and brought their car- goes 40 miles up the stream to sun- baked Brownsville where handful of people lived in houses with adobe walls two feet thick.
 Hunting A Home
 On one of his trips to the border town the young steamboat captain met Henrietta Chamberlain, whose slightly impractical father was oc- cupied with the discouraging task of enticing Mexicans to church at an hour which seriously interfered with their siestas.
 A few meetings with Miss Hem rietta convinced King that steam boat explaining was too lonely, and one day he rode away with young army officer named Robert E. Lee. After several days through chapar- ral and mesquite, road runners, ar- madillos. and flatheaded rattle snakes, they came to a gently rol- ling country on the coastal plains. King looked about him.
 "We've come far enough he said.
 He bought his first land-75, ,00o acres-in 1852 and soon thereafter married Miss Henrietta.
 Realizes SO-Year Dream
 King had an idea. First he want cd a home. Then he wanted to &C., quire all the land from the Nueces river to the Rio Grande, quite a si9able tract. On that land he wanted to raise cattle and become rich. He knew nothing about cat-

 He built his first home in 1854. on the acreage he had bought, and he dated his empire from that time. He called his first home Santa Gertrudis and now, more than SC years later, Santa Gertrudis stands for the largest ranch in the world, for a magnificent new breed of cat- tie and for a private empire.
