Half Way Off Gold America has gone only half the way off the gold standard, economists tell us, and should continue its march be- fore we get into trouble. Some persons think that, because gold no longer is our standard of money, it is relatively valueless. The fact is that gold is worth much more now than when it was the basis for our coinage at $20.67 an ounce. Nevertheless, this is the price in the United States because we have not revised that portion of our law and have set up no gold market in which the yellow metal may be sold. Lon- don has such a market and is paying about $9 an ounce more than our own treasury. The result is to stimulate the pur- chase of gold from the United States. ‘The treasury sells it at the standard Price, far below the world figure. Here's what a leading economist says about it: “We are placing a premium on gold consumption, and offering an induce- ment to smuggle gold out of the coun- try. The present policy prevents American gold producers from re- ceiving the world price for their prod- uct. Whereas other nations stimulate and bonus their gold-producing in- dustry, our country is throttling it. “The simple remedy for this entire situation would be the establishment of a free market in which the actual foliar price of gold could reflect it- self from day to day. This would protect the stocks now on hand in the Treasury. It would stimulate in- creased production. It would require all those buying and selling gold for industrial purposes to pay its market. price, as is being done by the gold- using industries of every other coun- A good many persons, prejudiced against gold, had hoped that we were through with it, but such is not the case. It is a commodity which we need and should be handled like any other commodity. It would seem that the government would do well to set up a carefully-controlled market so through the forests in the hands of painted priests; he has a secure place in a remote wilderness pantheon. Here, surely, is about as unusual a kkind of fame as any white man ever attained; and it leads one into fruit- less but interesting speculation about the originals of other, more widely- known gods of the old days, because it sheds such a revealing light on the way in which primitive people form their myths. When we first get acquainted with primitive myths, most of us wonder how people could be so inventive; and the answer, apparently, is that they aren’t, Myths aren’t invented; they are built up unconsciously about frameworks of fact. Odin, Hercules, 50 | Quetzalcoati—back of all of these 50 shadowy figures, you may be sure, move the ghosts of very real men who by their wisdom or strength or luck once made profound impressions on the minds of their fellows. In a world which has problems enough of its own all of this is of very small importance, to be sure. But it is interesting to get a first-hand look at the way mythology comes into be- ing. Making the Law Ridiculous Probably no government ever exist- ed which did not occasionally make the mistake of getting a prime ass on its payroll. It isn’t often, how- ever, that one finds bureaucratic asininity carried quite to the heights attained by that deputy federal game warden in Indiana who arrested one Foster Lewis for befriending a bird with a broken wing. The bird in question was a redbird. Lewis found it in his back yard, crippled, and nursed it back to health. He took such good care of it that it refused to fly away, when it got well —being @ smart bird, apparently, and knowing a good thing when it saw it. But the redbird, as a migratory bird, is protected by federal law, and it is illegal to possess one. So a de- puty federal game warden has ar- rested Lewis for violating a federal statute! Somewhere in Uncle Sam's service there must be someone with brains enough to release Lewis with immed- jate apologies—and to release the game warden with a good swift kick. Editorial Comment Editorials 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, Without ‘Going Latin’ (New York World-Telegram) Are prohibitionist morals bending under the strain? Only a couple of months ago two women prohibition leaders sent an earnest protest to federal Director of the Budget Lewis W. Douglas against the proposed financing of public works with liquor taxes. They ex- pressed horror at such use of revenue a “that which debauches the peo- Yet here is no less a prohibitionist than Fred A.

And besides, why make any unnec- essary tests of their honesty? Why Not? The farm administration ponders a Proposal to ship wheat to Asia in order to avoid pressure on our eastern markets, and well it should. There can be no good reason for glutting the domestic market further to the dis- tress of producers both in the middle west and the Pacific coast. On the contrary there is every good reason for shipping this bread grain to our yellow brothers on the other side of the globe. They will be quite as likely to pay for it as some of our other creditors—and besides they need it, Famine besets them. Thou- sands of their people are dying from Jack of food. ‘Need has little weight in the market man and the legislature to refuse this city state financial aid on the ground that the city can and should Put $3,500,000 a month into its cof- fers by a stiff city sales tax on beer. Mr. Victor cites beer statistics with zeal worthy of a repealist. So even the Anti-Saloon League begins to discern a certain virtue in necessity—new chapter in the long record of prohibition hypocrisy! How differently European nations treat basic human foibles—even the gambling instinct. France now frank- ly plans to help balance its budget by authorizing a great national lottery. The lottery will be as honestly con- ducted as the gayernment itself can make it. Citizens are invited to “take a chance”—and aid their na- tional treasury. Lotteries, public or private, in the United States are barred. Federal law rigidly closes the mails to them. ‘The constitutions of this and other States specifically forbid them. We never officially approve or even ac- cept the gambling instinct as such. What we are so vigorously and en- thusiastically taxing just now on the stock exchange—and proposing to tax more—of course, has nothing to do with gambling. No, indeed! If it Place, The vocabulary of business has passed it by, but the fact that a thing is sorely needed is, in many cases, rea- son enough for supplying it. If the brotherhood of man is ever to have ® real chance someone must begin trying to apply it. Why not the ‘United States with its wheat surplus? How Mythology Is Formed The savage tribes in some of the northernmost jungles of South Amer- had we couldn't tolerate it for a mo- ment! By the same token, nobody ever bets on horse races in this state —so how could the state government recognize and tax a human weakness which officially does not exist? This is not @ plea for lotteries or for encouragement of gambling. There is no reason why the United States should “go Latin” in this re- Spect.

For a good many years explorers have been collecting carved wooden staffs bearing this odd image; a white man in old-fashioned dress, often carved with genuine skill, with minor details of costume faithfully rendered. Medicine men used such staffs exten- sively, believing that all manner of diseases could be cured with them. Naturally, somebody got curious about it all, and a long investigation has finally dug up the explanation, More than 200 years ago @ Scotch colony was settled on the coast of the Gulf of San Blas. A doctor, William Patterson, was the leading spirit in the venture. He was evidently a skill- ed and conscientious physician, and ‘Be worked many cures among his bar- baric native neighbors. As a result, the simple savages can- onized him when he died—or, rather, they raised him to a position of god- hood. Members of his own race long since forgot all about him, but he re- mains today a potent legend in the Cistant jungles. His likeness goes rather than suppress certain unsup- Pressible human impulses might do us no harm. Economic stress is persuading us to be more liberal in many directions. It has helped get rid of prohibition. We hope it is going to convince us that race track betting has not exactly vanished under prohibitory laws, and that to legalize and tax it is better than to fool ourselves about it. A people becomes no more vicious in becoming less hypocritical On the contrary. North America, with one-twelfth of the world’s people, uses about one- half of all the timber consumed in the world. The College of Law, University of Cincinnatt, is the oldest west of the Alleghenies and fourth oldest in the United States.

Address Dr. William Brady, THE IODIN RATION MAKES ‘EM FEEL BETTER A correspondent reports: I am a middle aged woman, of ‘average general health. My main trouble has been chronic rhinitis with very frequent acute attacks. These would last so long and occur so often that they seemed continuous. I have consulted various physicians about the trouble, but never got any satis- faction. A year ago last March I started to take your iodin ra- tion... . and again for the month of June—a daily dose each third month, as you sug- gested. I had no acute attack in July or August, but early in Sep- tember a violent one. I was ter- ribly disappointed, but later de- lighted when it lasted only ten days. Since then I have not had an acute attack, and tho this may be only a coincidence, if I continue free of the trouble one would be almost compelled to credit the relief to the treatment. Another writes: For four days the middle of May I sneezed, wept and blew. Regular attack of chronic hay fever, nasal asthma or what have you? Then i saw in your column the suggestion that a drop of iodin in water might help acute coryza. I took it and the attack ceased promptly. This for what it is worth. And a third: Started taking your idoin ra- tion eight months ago and here are my findings: Vitality considerably improved. Bowels perfect. Skin looks clearer an@ more lifelike. Last but not least, amenorrhea of 14 months standing is corrected, and the function is now regular for the first time in nine years. Only one fault I can find with it—I have gained 8 pounds in weight. A friend who started on the iodin ration at the same time I did has gained 10 pounds, and we were both plenty plump to be- gin with. Several other correspondents have reported that they have obtained re- Yef from chronic recurring coryza (frequent acute rhinitis) since they began taking the iodin ration. For all I know all of these testi- monials might well have been signed by John J. Coincidence. I do know that too much idoin or fodid is likely to bring on iodism, and one of the characteristic signs of jodism is an intense coryza—redden- ing of the eyes, irritation and run- ning at the nose, for all the world as tho the patient has taken cri. (Or, as they say in England, a “cold in the head.”) Certain individuals who happen to have an idiosyncrasy, de- velop this characteristic iodism if they receive even moderate medicinal doses of iodin or any iodid. ‘The coryza of fodism is not at all identical with ordinary acute infec- tious coryza. It is not an illness of the body with feverishness and gen- HOW MANY YEARS HAS FRANCE HELD THE DAVIS OF THIS HOLD IN THE CuP ? US. ARMY ? PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D.

Is the Tooth “Dead?” Many dentists are advising that dead teeth (from which the nerve has been removed) are sources of infec- tion and should be removed. (G. G. M) Answer—That is crude dentistry. Removal of the pulp (or “nerve,” as the old timer called it) does not necessarily mean that the tooth is dead. It may still be nourished, alive ‘and serve a useful purpose in the jaw. Only when there is presumptive evi- dence that the particular tooth is causing trouble should it be removed. (Copyright 1933, John F. Dille Co.) IN l NEW YORK By PAUL HARRISON New York, July 29.—In a city pro- verbially aloof and inhospitable to the average stranger within its gaies, it is likely that Harry Rabin, newsboy, has built up more good-will for Go- tham than all the welcoming commit- tees and official receptionists put to- gether. Rabin isn’t exactly a boy; his next birthday will be his fifty-seventh. He stands at the Lexington Avenue en- trance to Grand Central Station, sells papers at lightning speed, directs strangers on their way, minds their luggage, holds their dogs and carries on an almost continuous conversation. ‘There's something about him that in- vites chat and confidence. He be- lieves he knows thousands of people by name — even traveling men and buyers who come to town at long in- tervals, Gene Tunney, who has an office nearby, is one of Rabin’s friends. ‘They talk about the Tunney’s Con- necticut place. Betty Worth, one of the most dazzling of the young stage players tells him about the summer theater. John Cobden, the big realty man, always assures him that business is looking up. Tammany leaders make wry remarks about reformers, Sports- men give him tips on horses, though Se doesn’t bet. William F. Kenny [Face him cigars. Newspaper men hurrying on assignments tell him whether they're off to the latest kid- naping or new deals in Washington. These and many more, when they have time, pause to exclaim over the latest picture of the Rabin children. The girls, one 10 and one 7, already are acrobatic dancers and are in de- mand for private entertainments. The baby boy is natural-born hoofer too, according to Gene Howard, veteran chorus trainer who’s coaching the girls. Rabin isn’t sure he wants them to go on the stage, though. He him- self trouped -with a Gus Edwards show thirty years ago, but gave it up to go back to selling papers — and meeting interesting people, A COP AND HIS STAGE FRIENDS Over at Forty-eighth Street and Fifth Avenue there’s another unsung celebrity and cheerer-upper. He's Michael O'Connor, the traffic cop.

And Wee and Leventhal are brewing another re- vival. Or you might have a try for that stock company job.” ...
