Back in Operation
After FDR Victory

WASHINGTON, July 6. UP)-
The treasury, acting less than "a
hours after senate approval of the
monetary bill. today resumed pur-
chases of foreign silver, fixing the
new price at 3675 cents per ounce
The new silver price represented
drop of IL cents an ounce from
the buying price of last week and
81 cents below the figure in effect
prior to the temporary halt in the
monetary program brought by the
senate.
The fixing of the silver price was
the first step in placing the treasury
monetary operations back into status
similar to that before the senate
action, outcome of which was a
New Deal victory.
The bill, approved late yesterday
by the senate by four vote margin,
was sent to the White House early
this afternoon after Vice President
John N. Garner and Speaker Will

when, quite carelessly, he allowed
COW to step on his head. The
dirt was soft, or the chicks head
was hard, or fate was smiling just
then, because a large cash was
the only injury suffered.
Kinne, seeing the plight of the
gawky chick, lugged him, her or
it into the house, appropriated his

performed a surgical operation. A
few stitches, a few more agoniZed
cheeps, and everything was hunky-
dory again. A rooster-sized meal
of bran completed the chicks re-
