 noticed in an issue of the Mining Record, a committee re- ported that gold should be rais- ed in value from its present price of S35 an ounce to $4l.34 an ounce. Reasons should be given for such statement. I think you will find by figuring that it should be $24O an ounce.
 All the gold in the worlds vaults is only one-haf billion ounces. Onehalf billion ounces at S20 an ounce equals only 10 bill lion dollars. and at S35 an ounce only 17l2 billion dollars. Accord ing to U. s. A. figures this is all the money the world is allowed. Gold is the worlds money mea- sure or the worlds monetary barometer and for posperity in the U. s. A. We must have S60 per capita in circulation.
 In 1919 and 1920 and up till the House of Morgan ordered the fearless and drastic defation of our U. s. A. currency, we had S60 each per capita circulation, 7l2 billion dollars of money in cir culation in U.S.A.. 75 billion dol lars of banking credit and 400 billion dollars total worth.
 Fixes Value of Property
 Per capita money in circulation fixes the value of all property. As gold is scarce and the worlds mines are not producing enough annually to supply the trade, the only remedy is to revalue the one half billion ounce world supply. We have to stabil.z5 worlds per capita of $6O each for the worlds two billion people, or in other words, establish a 120 billion dol lar metallic base similar to what France did in 1926,
 | France revalued gold to $l60 an ounce by daut;ng the gold con tent of her franc from five grains to three-four.hs of one grain gold. Consequently, We must do likewise to get back to prosper ity. The worlds gold supply and the worlds population must be figured n by each nation and when gold is thus revalued to es- tabliSh 6 metal worlds money base of l20 billion dollars, all o;h T perpl2X.ng prot' ems will adjus: themselves.

eral hundred customers classed as miscellaneous, so that the total of gas customers of all types in Con- necticut runs close to 100000.
 12 Companies
 A large industry is required to furnish service to these customers The gas industry generally has been compared with the big steel indus try. In fact, it is even larger than steel. Connecticut is served with gas by 12 public utility companiese and one municipal gas and electric de- partment. The six companies whose exclusive business is the manufac- ture and sale of gas have total as- sets, including their plants and dis tribution systems, amounting to well over $30,000,000, but this does not include many more millions inves- ted by the electric and gas com- panies in gas plants and equip .ment. Nor does it include equip ment operated by the Connecticut Coke Company at New Haven from which a large part of the states gas supply is derived.
 Connecticuts gas industry is largely owned by Connecticut citi- zens. The six exclusively gas con- panies are owned by nearly $500 stockholders of whom close to $500 live in Connecticut. The gas and electric companies have more than 18,000 stockholders of whom more than 16,000 reside in this state. Ten Billion Feet!
 Sales of manufactured gas in Con- necticut run annually to approxi- mately ten billion cubic feet. The greatest amount of the states gas is consumed by domestic customers for cooking, water heating, room heating and refrigeration, and for general house heating although the employment of gas heat in indus trial and commercial establishments has been forging rapidly ahead from year to year and last year reached its record total. Due to the general business reversal the total amount of gas used industrially and com- mercially has fallen somewhat be- hind the previous year in recent months, but is expected to resume it's upward march when business re- covery is resumed.

62 Cities In State
 Now Serviced By Gas
275,OOO Residential Meters Tell Story of Increasing
 Dependence Upon Gas for All Purposes

Sixty-two Connecticut cities and towns, having a total population ac- cording to then 1930 census of ap- proximately 100000 people, now have gas service, it is shown in re- ports on file with the Public Util- ities Commission. This does not mean that 100000 people in the state are actually within reach of gas service, since many of them live in outlying, rural sections of the towns to which 1t has not been found feasible to extend gas mains.
 It does mean, however, that well over 100000 Connecticut people employ gas in their homes, for the total of residential meters is listed at 275,000 and an average of four people per family is very conserva- tive. In addition, there are more than 16,000 industrial and commer- cial gas users in the state, and sev-

GROWERS PUZZLED
 BY x DISEASE
COnnecticut's Peach Crops Suffering From Mysteri=
 Ous Blight

Peach growing in Connecticut is attended by many hazards. When trees escape bitter winter weather and late frosts, the growers may still find foliage yellowing prematurely and the fruit of no consequence. This condition may be due to bor- CTS, to undernourishment, or to dis ease, according to E. M. Stoddard, pomologistc at the Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station at New Haven. And while great deal is known about the control of borers, un- dernourishment and some of the diseases are a more difficult prob- l lem.
 Peculiar Disease
 For the past five years MT. Stod- dard has been working on the K disease" of peach, mysterious trouble that seems to be peculiar to Connecticut. This year the dis ease has continued to spread into new areas.
 "If it increases at the present rate, | 1t will soon become serious menace to the peach industry in Copnecti- cut and possibly to any other peach growing section into which it may spread" 1Ar. Stoddard writes in sta- ton circular 122 which is now ready for distribution. The circular de- scribes the disease, where it has been found and with what results, and what has been found about its prevention or control. Although it is a free publication, it will be sent only to persons who write for copies
 The X disease was first discovered here in 1883 and has been the sub ject of investigation ever since From its first appearance 1t has spread rapidly especially in the cen- tral part of the state, and in some orchards under observation the average percentage of trees infected has increased from in 1884 to 70 in 1887.
 Following
 A premature yellowing of the foli- age, beginning about mid-June, is usually the first visible symptom of x disease. This appears on a single branch or part of the tree, the circular states. Later the spots in the leaves become brittle, the tissue dries up and falls out, giving the foliage very ragged appearance. At the same time the fruit may fall. If it clings to the branch it is worth less and the pit is undeveloped. This performance has been repeated sea- son after season. Although no trees under observation have died as re- suit of thetrouble, thetree and fruit are of no value.
 Many lines of investigation have been carried out to discover where the disease comes from and how it spreads. One discovery that seems to be of great importance is that chokecherries have the same dis ease and that it is carried from the chokecherry to the peace. This in- dicates that the destruction of chokecherries from the vicinity of peach orchards is an important measure, MT. Goddard writes. Also the immediate removal of diseased trees is recommended.
 Circular 122 is a summation of the work that has been done on X disease. The stations continuing the research and more detailed re- port will be published later.

HEAT WAvEs!. Little Odd Sidelights on Present Hot Spell in Water
 bury, Vicin-
 ity.:

Ten days ago, Waterbury was complaining about incessant rains that fell day after day. But today rain would have been well comed as the city gasped through the ninth day of torrid temper atures.
 With the mercury at 96 de- grees at 1 o'clock this afternoon, the 100 mark wasn't far away. It looked like close race at press hour.
 In the East End section several enterprising small boys set up a stand near WPA project and dispensed home made lemonade : at two cents a glass. They re- ported that business was heavy.
 Few persons ventured down town except those obliged to. Waves of heat rose from side walks that were almost steaming.
 The weatherman offers some in- volved explanation about the hot spell being caused by prevailing southwesterly winds, but all that MT. Average Man cares about is that it's HOT.
 One of those optimistic guys was goiEg around causing trouble this morning with the bright remark: Remember a couple of years ago when it was over a hundred de- grees for four days in row?"
 Taverns reported heavy busi- ness, as perspiring Brass Cityites sought to drive away their thirst by consuming foaming beakers of beer. Soda fountain and drug store proprietors were also smiling, with business being rushing.
 Cheer notes: Katydids are re- ported being heard in outlying sections. Tradition has it that the first frost comes six. weeks after the katydids are first heard in the summer.

PARIS, Nov. 22.-Oral assurances
OF French-German collaboration
were exchanged at Berchtesgaden
today while increasing opposition,
the result of Nazi anti-Jewish
violence, was apparent here to put
ting such an agreement in writing.
It remained uncertain whether the
project of a written understanding,
toward which French and German
statesmen have been working since
the Munich conference of Septem-
ber 20, would be abandoned.
In some French quarters it was
felt that reaction in France to the
renewed anti-Semitism in Germany
made the atmosphere unpropitious
for further steps toward paper
accord at this time.
The new French Ambassador to
Germany, Robert Coulondre, pre-
senting his credentials at Berchtes-
gaden, made speech that had been
studied and approved by Premier
Daladier's government before the
envoy left Paris. Chancellor Hitler,
in reply, stressed the main subjects
on which an accord had been sought.

incentive taxation
Would Aid Job|ess,
Says Publisher
Profit-Shorine Plan
Endorsed by Head
Of Curtis Co.

Incentive taxation on American
industry would result in absorption
Of major portion of the Nations S
unemployment, it was predicted to-
day before a special Senate COM
mittee by Walter D. Fuller, president
Of the Curtis Publishing Co.
Appearing in support OF industrial
profit sharing plans, the publishing
executive told subcommittee of the
Senate Finance Committee:
THE most important thing we
can do for the workers of this coun-
try is to get them back to work.
Then we should pay them as much
as economically practicable.
obviously, there are possibilities
for the use of tax incentives as direct
aids In the relief of unemployment. !"
Urges Careful Study.
Emphasizing that such proposals
should be carefully weighed before
being applied. Mr.. Fuller suggested
inst a1e cosnnittee solicit the CO.
operation OF such national associa-
tions as the American Institute Of
Accountants and the Controllers
Institute of America.
Incentive tax studies naight be
made with particular value in the
building and heavy machinery in
dustries. Mr.. Fuller added. As for
profit-sharing plans in themselves,
he suggested cooperative study with
the National Association Of Manu-
facturers and the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States.
w. 6. Marshall. vice president of
Westinghouse Electric & Manufac-
turing Co., whose company has a
prof1t-sharing program, told the
committee it has been found mu-
tually satisfactory and beneficial to
management and to workers.
Mr.. Marshall conceded in response
to a question that the company,s
wage adjustment" system was a
"loss sharing" as well as a profit
sharing" plan.
Base Rate Is Fixed.
A base rate" Is fixed for the wage
OF each employe, he explained.
When company earnings go above
5000 900 within three month period,
wages are boosted PEI cent for
each 100000 in excess of that figure.
A deduction is made at the same
rate when earnings fall below
$6OO,OOO for the quarter.
Any cut, Mr. Marshall said, is in
the number of hours worked, not
in the pay per hour, and employees
making $l25 month or less are not
subjected to deductions.
In actual operation, he said, the
plan added 10 5/6 per cent to wages
in 1896 and 1873 per cent in 1887.
Letters indorsing the profit -shar-
ing principle and the committees s
efforts to encourage its widespread
application were received from the
1ngersoll-Rand Co., Safeway Stores,
Hartford Electric Light Co. and As
sociated Employers, Inc, of Texas.
In his testimony, Mr.. Fuller said
that companies should be allowed
to charge of more for depreciation
