It has been the one standard medium of exchange. Senator Borah performed a service Much as we may worship at the shrine of gold, it does us no harm to recognize the disadvantages under which the world labors as the result of a standard which only two of the world’s nations can observe. A hint of Borah’s idea as to what might be done to relieve the situa- tion is contained in his reference to silver when he said: “I venture this opinion, that unless armaments are reduced so the burden is lifted, unless rep- arations are settled so that Eur- ope can start on economic recov- ery and unless silver is restored to the place it occupied prior to 1925, to restore to some extent the purchasing power of one-half the. world, there will not, in my judg- ment, be any ready return to prosperity. * = *” “I do not know how long the people will be willing to carry the burden they are now carrying, but we must not be unmindful of the fact that the masses everywhere, including our own country, are becoming restless. { “We do not accomplish things | generally in this country by revo- lution, but there can be no doubt. of a general feeling among the peoples that the governments are not meeting the task before them.” 1 him seriously, he had to be serious also. He had to say “uncle” in a voice loud enough to be heard and with sufficient sincerity to let “Uncle Joe” and the rest of the boys know he was sorry. It will be a long time before Huey resorts to that particular brand of pyrotechnics again. Inexcusable Slaughter The “sportsman” sometimes seems to be a peculiar sort of person. In the vicinity of Hoquiam, Wash., it was discovered not long ago that hunters have slaughtered nearly 350 elk in order to get their teeth. Trap- Pers and woodsmen have found scores of carcasses in the woods, each minus its teeth but with its meat utterly un- touched. The slaughter has practically wiped out a magnificent herd of one of North America’s finest wild creat- ures, It woul be interesting to know just what can be the mental processes of a man who could take part in that kind of “sport.”". The man who goes on a hunting trip, kills an elk, eats of its flesh and takes its head and ant- lers back to adorn the walls of his home is at least doing something comprehensible. But men who will butcher a whole herd just to get the animals’ teeth are almost beneath contempt. Editorial Comment Faditorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, Asserting that the United states|Capitol Construction Materials ‘and France, with a population of 170,000,000, owned about 70 per cent of the world’s gold compared to the 1,400,000,000 who hold the other 30 per cent, he continued: “It is significant that the ab- normal flow of gold into the United States and France marked the beginning of the fall of com- modity prices and the liquidation of securities. Deflation began then, is continuing and seems fair to go on. “It seems clear to me that the fright which still obtains was en- gendered by this gold disturbance. A fall in prices is like a glacier— ipoee started, it sweeps all before t. “I don’t know how to pay the gold indebtedness of the world so long as the gold is held by two nations. Debts must be paid either in gold, in kind or in serv ices. “While I am a believer in the protective tariff, it is obvious that our tariff will not permit pay- ment in kind. There is no oppor- ria to render payment by serv- “We are up against an impossi- ble situation unless there can be @ large supply of money. “England was forced off the gold standard last September. Dire prophecies were heard be- fore that occurred of what would (Grand Forks Herald) For many generations stone has been the chief material used in the construction of monumental build- ings, and there has become established a tradition in favor of the use of this material. But traditions change. Even the stone tradition was an in- novation. Another tradition has called for the use of the dome as the centerpiece of great public bulldings. That form, which characterized much of the ecclesiastical architecture of the Old World, is splendidly exempli- fied in the capitol at Washington and it has been copied, not always with happy results, in many of the other important public buildings in this country. Yet we are departing from that tradition. Probably some North Dakotans were shocked when they learned that the new capitol at Bismarck is not to be surmounted by a dome. Yet competent architects have designed for this purpose a building, beautiful and appropriate in every respect without even the suggestion of a dome, and the capitol commission has gives unanimous approval to this de- sign. In his discussion of capitol con- struction materials at the University a few days ago George A. Bangs, chairman of the North Dakota capi- tol commission, set forth some of the reasons which induced the commis- sion to have the specifications for the happen. It is the only bright Spot today on the horizon. That great nation which was commit- ted to the gold standard since. 1849 departed from it and it is the only nation today that seems to be on the road to recovery. “All of that seems proof of the come relist trom this ‘gold mene gold men- tality.” No citizen with the good of this nation at heart wants to sees con-|feced with brick, and with very sat- new capitol so drawn as to provide for bids on brick as well as stone fac-| _ since the earliest ages in some of the most palatial as well as some of the humblest buildings. Its durability ‘and its adaptability to various forms of design are beyond question. For our territory it is conceded to be less costly than stone. and beautiful buildings are istactory effect.

Each manifestation— whether in the upper or under crust—is in its way, typical of the times. Something of a gasp went about when, for instance, Doris Duke began appearing at ringside tables with groups of young women of approxi- mately her own age and social status. To be sure, the places frequented were such as the Pierette, the Park Casino and the Mayfair. All quite swanky, in their way, but also quasi-public. Even columnists find their way in. And the better known visitors from Hollywood and the Broadway stage are the chief spon- sors and supporters. ee 4 Like the Movies The city rats were soon reported scurrying from their gutters and cel- lars. Ransom and kidnap are the netherworld’s vogues at the moment. Just the other night word went around Broadway to keep an eye on Barbara Hutton’s armed guard. Miss Hutton was but recently back from a tour of the world. Despite her mil- lions she had wisely dodged fortune hunters and enjoyed those adven- tures that may be bought in travel. Yet, once back in her own Man- hattan, it was whispered that a well armored car followed Miss Hutton to the swank-spot where she met for an evening of social diversion.

Never was a child more protected. Heiress to countless millions, she lived like a fairy princess of the tales, Nurses, tutors, doctors, maids, dieti- cians were at her call. Once her to- bacco-king father presented the child with a private train. She grew up in the younger New- jport and Southampton set. Fre- lquently she was taken abroad by her mother. Now, suddenly, she has grown to j adolescence: a fresh and charming lyoungster, gay and effervescent, ap- pearing to enjoy each moment af- forded by Manhattan’s smarter clubs. es * Yet, it has been said, she frequent- ly came and went in taxicabs, with only a young escort to guard her current highway. Gay youth, unspoiled by wealth and position, seems to be her heritage at the moment. But they'll tell you that plain clothes men now trail her movements to guard against the danger of kid- napers playing for the higher stakes. ee # The Lower Depths Speaking of underworld matters, I was told the other evening that a certain block in a certain section of 47th street (west) has taken on the blackest of reputations during the last year.

The advance relieved the pressure on Amiens and was regarded as an important gain, although it was of a local nature. Canadian troops in the same sec- tor of the western front made slight, unimportant gains. Americans bri- gaded with the British were shelled heavily by the Germans, but no at- tack was made. Countless mustard gas shells were dropped in the Ameri- can sector.

Odd how sometimes everything seemed to go stale, he thought. He had been fighting off this feeling of futility for weeks. He awoke with it in the morning. During the day he seemed able to shake it off but when he was tired or when his brain lagged as it did now it re- turned in full force. “What I need is a holiday,” he told himself, He rose and strolled about restlessly, picking up small objects and putting them down. He supposed Ruth would be quite late. She was playing bridge at the Hamilton's and they had planned to go later to the clup to dance, He might as well go to bed but since he was not in the least disposed to sleep he wandered into the garden. He stood there gazing up at the cold, remote, inaccessible sky, as if it might provide an answer to his problem. It was a perfect fall night. There was a cool, high wind from the west and a strange stillness seemed to brood over all. It was always quiet there but tonight seemed especially so. Thus it was that when @ splitting sound suddenly rent.the stillness the listening man felt his nerves tingle with annoy- ance, There was a grinding of gears. There was, just once, a faint cry, Heath began to run in the direction of the noise, Down the lane he went, hatless, a tall man in a dinner suit. When he reached the intersec- tion of the main road he was breathless. He looked to right and left and for an instant could see one ARETE | '$3,000,000,000, was oversubscribed, it was announced in Washington. Removal of John K. Caldwell, U. 8. consul at Vladivostok, was demanded by the Soviet government. The state department in Washington immedi- ately announced that he would not be removed.

(Copyright, 1932, NEA Service, Inc.) produce symptoms dangerous to health and to life. Dusts may injure the human being in two ways: First, merely by their mechanical presence, clogging up the tissues and interfering with their activities. Second, through special sensitivi- ties, so that the individual responds with asthmatic symptoms or other signs of sensitivity. A special committee of the British government has recently reported the results of an investigation made in the cotton industry, particularly to determine the extent to which the lungs are injured. The dust liber- ated during the process of stripping and carding includes fragments of cotton hairs and of leaf and seed coat, various germs and fungi asso- ciated with the cotton and some mineral matter. The greatest amount of dust is the dust is due to lack of adequate cleaning of the cotton in blowing rooms, but most dust is due to failure to keep the machines clean and to remove dust which has settled on them. Examination of workers in the cot- ton industry showed merely an ordi- nary bronchitis due to irritation by the dust. There were, however, some cases of sensitivity to cotton. The use of proper ventilation, suction ap- paratus, and cleaning procedures will reduce greatly the amount of dis- comfort and ill health. The sickness rate from diseases of the nose and throat and lungs is much higher among workers in the carding room than among other op- eratives in the cotton industry. Of course, regular examinations of op- eratives ought to be made so that ‘symptoms could be controlled in their earliest stages. One exceedingly interesting fact de- termined in the investigation was the presence of a substance called his- tamine in the dust. Histamine is the protein which produces excep- tionally severe reactions in the hu- man body even when present in small amounts. No system of ventilation 17 Hurrah. found in Egyptian cotton.

Then a little way beyond he caught sight of a lean, grey- hound shape at the side of the road, He walked briskly in its di- rection. For a moment Heath thought the car was empty. Then just ahead he discovered what his nearsighted eyes had previously missed. Two tall, young figures. A girl and a man. Relief surged over him and anger, too. “Young fools,” he muttered. “I might have known there was noth- ing really wrong.” He started to return to his quiet garden when something about the girl's pose arrested him. A frag- ment of what she was saying reached him. “I tell you I'm not going. Noth- ing could induce me to!” eee ([HERE seemed to be something tremulous and appealing about the voice. Heath squared his shoul- ders. He was a shy man but a con- scientious one and he thought he had no choice. His long legs brought him in a few strides to the quarreling pair. “I beg your pardon,” he said quietly, addressing the girl whose face was only a white blur in the darkness. “Is there anything I can do? I thought I heard a crash—” He was shaken when the voice that answered proved to be that of his secretary. Trembling, excited, yet unmistakably Susan Carey's. “Mr. Heath!” that voice said, “I wonder if you would be so awfully good as to take me back to the Ackroyds. I’m staying there and the others have gone to another party and I have a raging head- ache.” Heath concealea his surprise. “I should be delighted,” he said, ig- noring her escort and wishing he had not left his eyeglasses on his study desk. These tall, young ruf- flans all looked alike.” , “I should be delighted,” he re- peated, The youth said something in a low voice, too low for Heath to hear, The older man waited, em- barrassed; Then ho felt a light touch on his arm. “Shall we start now?” Susan said, She was trembling. “You'd better keep hold of my arm,” he admonished her. “These roads are full of ruts if you're not familiar with them.

Then he and another boy fought. Oh, it was'horrible!” “Sounds rather rowdyish,” com- mented Heath dryly, eee IE whole affair offended his sense of fastidiousness, “I shouldn't have come,” the girl rushed on. “It was all a mistake, My aunt said so and she was right.” Piteously she demanded, “Do you suppose older people always know best?” “T've heard it said but I’m not sure it’s true.” “Well, anyhow, we were driving and he asked mo if I wi gaged to Ben.
