tion of those writers who discuss "the gold problem" in our newspa- pers and journals reveal no better understanding of this "gold prob- lem" than they did about the mone- tary problems of 1o33-l934. It would be difficult to find a rarer collection of downright foolishness in lnone- tary discussion than we are witness ing today with respect to this sup posed problem"
 Just how long will be required for these discoverers of the gosd problem to realize that there is no such problem in this country, as 1t is widely conceived today, is an in. teresting question. One may sup. pose that the discussion will rage on until people are tired of writing, reading, and talking about 1t, then 1t will be forgotten, as most of the foolish arguments of 1933-1e34 are now forgotten, and we will pass on to the next fad in monetary illu- SionS.
 Any problems involved in our gold situation have to do wdth the war and our huge surplus reserves in our banking system. Regarding the latter Congress has not yet pro- vided adequate measures of control. Hitler will not destroy nor impair the "value" of OUT gold stock. A barter system Is not superior to, nor will it destroy, an exchange system based upon gold. Our gold holdings are not costly, as commonly alleged. If we exchange goods or credit for gold, We can, in turn, use it to buy other goods or credit. It is the most marketable commodity known. If we exchange credit for gold, no secur- ity for this credit is superior to gold.
 It is to be hoped that the Ameri-

FUNNY ABOUT
FLANNELS-THEY
ARE IN STYLE!
By AMY PORTER
Associated Press Fashion Editor

Lingerie is developing as many
independent ideas as hats. and
the woman who is due for an in
innate apparel gift this Christ
mas shouldn't be surprised if she
finds a pair of ruffled pantalooRs
dangling from the tree.
Even more conventional lingerie
and at-home costumes show new
style trends. Consider:
Military Motifs-A pale blue
cotton pique housecoat has a stiff
tand-up collar and self-fringe
epaulettes. Two-piece pajamas in
red and blue flannel are decorat-
ed with military braid. College
girl cottons-pajamas and house
coatS-are done in red, white and
blue, with patriotic motifs used
on a sleeve or the breast pocket
Chinese influence-The kimono
blouse with outstanding collar is
seen in both nightgowns and pa
jamas. in plain silk IT rayon rich
~ banded in embroidery, OF in
heavy brocaded silk.
Pretty Pretties - Elaborate
handmades are available in
smaller quantity this year than
last. because they are no longer
imported from France. But domeS-
! tic handwOrk, though more ex-
pensive, compares favorably in
quality. This year almost every
lacy nightgown has its matching
robe or jacket, done in chiffon OF
satin.
Old Fashioneds-Long Sleeved
nightgowns of the 1900 era are
extremely popular, in cotton
silk, or very fine wool, usually
edged in modest lace.
