Rumor this week about the adminis- tration's intention as to the currency says there will be no inflation and no devaluation of the dollar. Deduction from the rumor stops, in many cases, at this point. It is important, however, to take into account the concluding clause of the story, which says, in effect, “until after the industrial recovery act is fully under way.” Thus stated there is some foundation for the notion. The administration, nevertheless, is careful about committing itself. Inquiry by reporters in official quarters is answered by the cryptic statement that the rumor is a “hot weather story,” that there has been no change of policy. Facts in Middle Ground. As often, the facts beneath the rumor lie in the middle ground. The inference made by some that there will never be actual inflation and that the stand- ard dollar will at some future time again contain the same 2322 grains of gold is much too extreme. The in- ference the dollar will some tirge be ! stabilized at something like 16 grains —of gold is safer. The administration has never stated in so many words that the gold content of the dollar will be changed. Presi- dent Roosevelt's public announcements in this field have been in terms of the dollar’s “purchasing value.” This is not identical with gold content. What the administration wants, the intention that has been repeatedly and publicly proclaimed, is in effect that the dollar shall have a purchasing value approximately equal to that of about 1926. This is the same as saying that prices of goods on the average shall rise to about the level of 1926. | Mr. Roosevelt has not himself publicly mentioned the 1926 level, but others of the administration have. The 1926 level is much above the present. While attainment of roughly the 1926 level is the main economic ob- jective of the administraton, the in- tention is not to reach that level at once. Indeed, there was alarm some three weeks ago when prices seemed rising too rapidly. What is desired for the present is that prices should re- main about where they are, until after the industrial recovery act is thoroughly under way. The central objective of the industrial recovery act has to do with wages and not with prices of goods The program is that through higher wages and through greater employ- ment, large quantities of money, “pur- chasing power,” shall be put in the pockets of labor. ‘This purchasing power, the anticipation is, will imme- diately go into the retail shops and buy goods. This buying, so the ex- pectation gges, will cause prices of goods to risel It is at that point, some months from now, that the hope is to reach the 1926 level of prices. When reached, the purpose is to stabilize prices there. It is just possible that the desired | 1926 level might come about without action on the gold content of the dol- |lar and without inflation of currency. If, through the industrial recovery act and through all the Government’s con- crols of production of crops and other commodities, prices of goods should reach and keep the 1926 level, that would be full attainment of the admin- istration’s purpose. With the pi¥chas- ing power of the dollar the same as in 1926, there would be no necessity for changing the gold content of the dollar nor for direct inflation of the currency. Several “Ifs” Seen. In all this are several “ifs.” The fixed fact is that prices of goods must sometime reach the 1926 level. If they reach it through natural forces, every- body will be content. But that level | must sometime be reached. The ad- | ministration has in effect announced it. | The inflationists in Congress demand it. If that level should fail to arrive by natural forces, and if the President should then seem reluctant to use the powers of inflation Congress has con- ferred on him, Congress would probably decree mandatory inflation. i In that set of conditions, with prices remaining materially below the 1926 level, a caucus of Mr. Roosevelt's party | would indorse mandatory inflation. | Quite certainly, a majority of Congress would vote it. Whether two-thirds of Congress would vote it over a Presi- dential veto is less certain. It is hardly conceivable that, given the failure of prices to rise to the 1926 level, the President would so resist inflation as to_precipitate a veto situation. Understanding of this whole complex situation may be helped by visualizing the President as, so to speak, in a per- fectly legitimate sense, sitting on a broad safety-valve. At one time, as one condition tends to erupt, he must throw his weight on that point. From occa- sion to occasion he must shift his weight. Just now, the attempt is to keep prices of goods down and let wages g0 up. AFGHANS SEEk TERMS WITH MOHMAND TRIBES Officers Request Abandonment of Plans for Attack on Halimzais™ as Troops Move to Aid. By the Associated Press. SIMLA, India, August 3.—Three | Afghan officers were reported today to be treating with chieftain§ of the Mohmand tribe in an effort to persuade the tribesmen to abandon any plans to attack the friendly Halimzais. A brigade from Peshgwar was march- ing to the Northwest Frontier to help the Halimzais in the event of an attack, but it was reported the Afghans’ peace overtures were likely to be successful _ Meanwhile, four squadrons of Brit- ish airplanes were standing by, follow- , | ing two bombardments of Kotkai, a vil- lage of the Bajauri tribe, allies of the Mohmands, whom the British seek to compel to give up three agitators against the King of Afghanistan. Further ground operations awaited the completion of a track into the area for wheeled transport cars. Code Application Asked by Youth Who Mows Lawn By the Associated Press. With many kinds of workers getting wage raises under the Recovery Administration, Wirt Atmar, jr. of East Texas wants to know if something can't be done for the boy who mows grass. “This new ‘blanket code’ in- cludes nearly every phase of work,” the 16-year-old wrote Ad- ministrator Hugh 8. Johnson, “and the employers, and the em- ployes except we, the younger generation, the lawn-keepers. “I was wondering if an addi- tional clause could be put in this code to provide for shorter work- ing hours for us, and especially a salary which we do not receive at present, because our employers (our parents) have not given the latter matter any consideration.” ‘Wirt said that in the part of ‘Texas where he lives the grass grows all year, “thus making me stayya few feet behind a small mac] better known as & lawn- mower.” Missing Death by an Eyelash AUTO DRIVER HAS NARROW ESCAPE IN RACE AT SHARON, PA.

The text of the amendment to the cotton textile industry’s code of fair competition providing for Industrial Relations Boards to settle controversies between labor and capital follows: “To make proper provision with re- gard to the stretch-out (or specializa- tion) system or any other problem of working conditfons ‘in the cotton tex- tile industry, it is provided: | “1. There shall be constituted by ap- | pointment of the administrator, a Cot- ton Textile National Industrial Rela- tions Board. to be composed of three members, one to be nominated by the Cotton Textile Industry Committee to | represent the employers, one to be nominated by the Labor Advisory Board of the National Recovery Ad- ministration to represent the employes and a third to be selected by the na- tional recovery administrator.

The administrator, upon the nomination of the Cotton Textile Na- | tional Industrial Relations Board. shall | appoint, in each State in which the | cotton textile industry operates, a State Cotton Textile Industrial Relations Board composed of three members, one of whom shall be selected from the el ployers of the cotton textile industry, one from the employes of the cotton textile industry and a third to repre- sent the public. “3. Whenever, in any textile cotton mill a controversy shall arise between em- ployer and employes as to the stretch- out (or specialization) system or any other problem of working conditions, the employer and the employes may estab- lish in such mill an Industrial Rela- tlons Committee chosen from the man- agement and the employes of the mill | and on which tne employer and em- | ployes shall have equal representation of not more than three representatives each. If such a committee is not other- wise established, the employer or_the employe, or both. may apply to the State ¥ndustrial Relations Board for assist- | ance and co-operation in the establish- ment in such mill of such Industrial Relations Committee. The term of service of each such mill committee shall be limited to the adjustment of such controversy, or problem of work- ing conditions for the adjustment of which the committee was created.

RIPLEY. o« HAT were you doing to- night when the lights went out?” Prof. Ford- | ney inquired of Simon | Barrett. | “Why, I was in my study writing,” responded the art connoisseur. “No one else in the house? “No, I was alone. My wife was at the opera and the servants had an evening out.” Fordney com- pared his own ac- curate timepiece with the electric clock on the mag- nificent radio. They both read 12:31. Then he asked: “What did you do when you found yours#if in darkness?” “Well, I was in a bit of a panic... T've always had an intense fear of the dark, but I man- aged to locate a flashlight and ran to the cellar. I found that the electric switch controll- ing this part of the house had been thrown off. I fumbled with it a bit nervously, put it up again and after searching the cellar came back here. Although I thought I had closed the door on leaving, it was partially open when I returned. The lights were on, of course. The safe door stood open and I found Mrs. Barrett's jewels had been stolen!” “How long were you away from the room?” '; ot more than seven or eight min- utes.” “What was the value of the jewels?” ::About $50,000.” ertainly. “H'mmm,” mused Fordney. “After returning to the room, did you touch anything but the phone?” “Why, no. That is, just the pen and paper . . . thought I'd try and finish the letter I was writing.” “Come,” Barrett,” Fordney admon- ished, “your story doesn’t hold at all. ‘Where did you put the jewels?” Why did Fordney suspect Barrett of faking the robbery?

Its physical “getting” and environment are ideal as a Summer resort, where rest, relaxation and enjoyable play is made to pay! Situated high up in the great Alleghany Mountains; with an elevation of 3,350 feet above sea level, on the Monterey Mountain, in the lovely Monterey Valley, where mosqui- toes, malaria, hay fever, typhoid and humidity are ‘“unknown quantities.” “Monterey,” the county seat of Highland County, enjoys the en- viable distinction of being the “only” town and county in the State lying between two National Forests—the “Shenandoah” on the east and the “Monongahela™ on the west. The county literally “hugs” one and “kisses” the other! “Monterey” is an incorporated town, with every modern con- venjence—paved streets, electric lights, sewage and water works system. The water is clear, cold, “pure” and healthful, and is piped by gravity from Monterey Mountain spring to the town. The water is State tested! Two modern hotels, gcod restaurants and many fine tour- ists’ hcmes, all with baths, cater to a refined class of vacationists and extend every helpful courtesy to visitors. Fresh vegetables, grown in native gardens; fruits and berries; rich cream. butter, milk, eggs. juicy steaks, old country ham. fried chicken, hot biscuits and delicicus spoon bread are served to guests in generous portiors. And the “price you pay” is most reason- able! Highland County in earth structure is a “replica” of the world-famed “Switzerland,” with the sole exception that its eleva- tion is not as high. However, its enthralling, soul - stirring “scenery” will bear favorable comparison. Here the Great Architect of the Universe has lavished unsurpassed “natural beauty” upon this richly-blessed section. as yet practically unknown to the outside world! One of the many “wonderful” things to see, four miles from the town. is “Sounding Knob,” the monarch of the mighty Alle- ghanies, 4,685 feet elevation. Within a half mile stands the somewhat smaller but appealing Trimble’s Knob. And. just® on the outskirts of this lcvely “Swiss village,” beautified with splendid shade trees and green lawns, stands the lofty “Jack” Moun- tain, as a commanding sentinel keeping watch over the pic- ley below. A most " of the town and surrounding valley may be had from this vantage point. It is one of “infinite” grandeur! Highland County derives its name from its great elevation. varying from 2.000 to 4,685 feet! In contour it is mearly a square and contains 422 square miles. ‘The surface is mountainous, greatly broken by sinuous, twist- ings. magnificent streams of rushing, gushing, pure water for cattle and the gamest cf game fish—pike, speckled trout and black bass! These streams have rock and sandy bottoms, with many beautiful pools and never- failing springs which “feed” the James and Potomac Rivers. It is one ef the very few counties “unspoiled” by a railroad! Within fifteen minutes’ drive from Monterey lies the “Crab- bottom Valley,” the finest “blue grass” section in the State, and, surely, one of the most picturssque and fertile in the United States! ‘The soil of this famcus natural “show place” is mainly limestone. Stock raising and grazing is the principal industry. In fact, the grazing quality of the land can- not be surpassed anywhere. Some of the finest, heaviest “pure-bred” cattle are taken directly from pasture and ex- ported to Europe. The county ranks second in number and fine quality of sheep. “Blue grass” equal to that of the best lands orflf(enlucky is indigenous to the 50 The large groves of “sugar maple trees” with exquisitely green leaves doing their “curtsey” is something to “write home about.” “Sweets to the sweet!" Pure maple sugar cakes and syrup are made in season from the “sugar water” of these mag- nificent trees, finding a ready market in Eastern cities. ‘The tourist who “just loves” Nature's jewels may revel in the great variety and loveliness of the gorgeous rhododendron, mountain laurel, azalea, dogwood, lupin, arbutus, red-berry and Alpine evergreens. ‘The clean, “dry,” bracing air acts as “Nature’s tonic,” injects new life, new ideas, causing the “old” to feel “young” and the “young” to feel “romantic”!
