Republican ledders expected Mr. Hoo- ver’s Des Molhes speech to start something, and it did; it started another European drive agains: the dolla, which might have had disastrous: @ffect. if the United States Was asi ifinaeinlly weak as the European financiers evidently supposed it to be from Mr. Hoover's speech. When Mf. Cooliige seeks to persuade the Amefican voters to underwrite another four-year political insurance policy fot Mf. Hoover, the voters eantiot fail to recall that the then President Coolidge was the priti- cipal cheer leader for the hot ait stock market in 1928, and theréfore is more or less a co-defendant in the people’s case against Mr, Hoover. Piles of the Toeal héwspapers are al- most as impértant for récord purposes as are trpnseriptions of deeds, mortgages and other jpublit documents. They should be kept in fireproof vaults.

Of every. hundred in- dustrial establishments burned in the last five years, 43 were not rebuilt. The waste was complete and absolute. The conquest of fire is‘simply the eon- quest of public ignorance, laxness.and..in- difference. Eath of us owes the community a duty—to eliminate the hazards" on our property. We cannot afford the luxury” of fire. A MONSTER SKELETON After being buried for ages in the fossil beds of noftheastern Utah; the largest skeleton ever discovered on land now stands in Carnegie Museum at Pittsburgh, a striking example of the monsters which roamed the earth during the Ages of Rep- tiles, many millions of years ago. This skeleton is that of a Brontosaurus, of the dinosaur order of reptiles, 100 f68t long and 20 feet high. In lifé the animal weighed perHaps 20 tons. Alongside of it an elephant would seem as small relatively as a dog beside a horse. The fossil bed from which it was taken is the most extensive deposit of dinosaurian and other reptilian remains ever discovered. Tt was found in 1919, and the site is under the protection of the National Park Service. More than 200 tons of bores and - other material of scientific value have been re- moved from study and exhibition, with very little duplication of specimens. According to a recent statement by the Park Service, it is the belief of scientists that these prehistoric animals were ori- ginally imbedded in & sand bar in some ancient river, This sand turtied into sand- stone and was ¢ovéred by thousands of feet of other strata-of rocks, the whole later hav- ing been forced into an upright position by a great volcanic upheaval, which left the fossil bed exposed on a mountain top. Through the patient labors of scientists who are continually exploring among such records preserved in the rocks, as well as among the ruins of ancient civilization, salient facts-in the world’s history which were totally unknown a few years ago are being brought to light. SILVER—YOUR PROBLEM The silver problem. isn’t a distant and remote matter that never touches the life and welfare of the average man. It’s everybody’s problem—and it’s your prob- lém.. Anything that affects international trade, the buying power of nations, and the free flow of commerce, affects every job, every industry, évery hoine. Silver is the medium of exchange of coun- tries comprising half the world’s people. When it has a fair value, those pedple buy goods from other countries and help keep the factory chimneys of all thé wofld smok- ing. When its value is depressed, as at pfesent, those pedple no lohget have the money with which to buy. | There isn’t enougft old ij éxistéiice to earry on world commerce—and no major | additional supplies are Known. [fi a stable world silver must have its plaeé as 4 money, and its value in relation ta gold must be definite and permanent.
