“STABLE MONEY LEAGUE” ‘PLANNED BY NOTED MEN ‘Will Confer Here Saturday to Pre- vent Fluctuation of Values and Establish Price Levels. Fluctuating money means for and levels values stabilizing _price will be discussed by bankers, business men and economists at a conference to be held here Saturday toward the formation of a “stable money league.” The list of men promoting the league includes the following: Frank O. Lowden, former Governor of llli- nois; George Foster Peabody, director of the Federal Resrve Bank, York; Alton B. Parker, former justice, court of appeals of New York; Irving Fisher of Yale University; J. R. Commons, former president of the American Economic Association; Eu- gene Pomeroy, attorney, of New York and Washington; Jeremiah Jenks, economist; John H. Wigmore, dean of law, Northwestern TUniversity: Benja- min Ide Wheeler and David Starr Jordan of Californis A. E. Adams, president First National k, Youngstown, Ohio: John B. Ppresident Washington Loan Company, Washington, D. D. Kent, president Merch: tional Bank, Passaic, N. McCune Lindsay, president Academy of Political Science; Gifford Pinchot. and A. B. Farquhar, first president of United States Chamber of Commerce. A preliminary statement, issued by the organization committee, explains the purpose of the league, in part, as follows: “The proposed stable money leag is the outgrowth of nearly 100 years of scientific criticism of civilization's greatest tool—money. Every standard has been stabilized except the stand- ard of purchasing power. Dollars, pounds, francs—all fluctuate and al- ways have fluctuated widely. Acute minds have long known that this need not be so. During and since the re- cent war the dollar has danced so ‘wildly up hill and down that business men, housewives, wage earners, statesmen—all are now aroused about the why of it and how to stop it. We all want a dollar which will buy a dollar’'s worth of the necessaries of life at all times. That is, we want a stable purchasing unit. The stable money league is the first organized llthle to define and secure such a unit. “The league will start uncommited to any other. Its ome object will be the ultimate stabilization of the dol- lar. With this aim it will seek to investigate all posstble methods and only when necessary to take a defi. nite attitude toward proposed legi: lation need it decide on its policy with regard to any plan.” RESTAURANT MEN WILL HONOR MISS ROBERTSON The Washington Restaurant Asso- ciation will tender an informal recep- tion to Representative Alice Robert- son of Oklahoma, at Rauscher’s, June 20 at 8:30 p.m. .Incidentally, this is the occasion of the annual meeting of !he executive committee of the Nati Restaurant Association.

Every school child ought to have one of those yp-to-daite maps being distributed by *The Star for 75 cents each. ‘What good does it do a child to follow ‘“current events,” read about Silesia and other places, if they mean but names to him? If he has the proper sort of map, his study will be vitalized, places made familiar to him. and the world as a whole take on a familiar aspect. . Not only children, but “grown-ups” as well, need this map. They are much in the same boat as the chil- dren—there is a great difference be. tween a mere name and the knowl- edge of what the name represents, where the country or other place is located, what is the population, etc. There is no work involved in flnflln. places on this new map. It poss an instantaneous finder which mlk:u A child can find Albia Chase Presby- in a moment.

How happy we should be to know that wars would come no more, that no new Hin- | denberg would go to splash around in gore. I thought, when® war was at its height, that when the war was done, there would be left on earth no wight who'd want to pack a gun. I thought we'd had enough of groans, the war fans to deter,| for all the world was sick of bones and death and blood and fur. Now while the nations all profess a strong desire for peace, they boost the same old martial mess and war spiels never cease. “We’d dump our armament to- day,” one monarch sadly yips. “but there’s a king across the way who's bm!dmg countless ships. He’s building guns and submarines to multiply his power, and we would surely %plll the beans if we relaxed an hour.” The king across the way re- marks, “I can’t disarm alone, for there are sundry royal sharks who’d like to lift my throne. 1 have to build my guns and boats if T would keep my throne; I do not long for others’ goats, but I would hold my own.” And so the old, old game proteeds, and will till time is done, and this poor foolish planet speeds no more around the sun.
