NEW PLAN OF ~ CASH VALUES 1 ADVANCED Increase in Prices Will Be Met With Elastic Currency Says Scientist BY EDWARD M. THIERRY (Copyright, 1928, NBA Service) N. ¥., July 29.—How would you like to have your pay envelope contain elastic money? Dol- lara that increased or decreased ox: actly as the cost of living slid up Money that stretched tn “We are drifting toward !t." rays Dr. Charies P. Steinmetz, prone! | ‘wizard and scientist. “Why not use the average price Index of commodities as the unit of monetary value instead of gold?" he asks. , Steinmets advanced the novel tdea tm an interview with NEA Service, discussing world economic flle, Rut fhe emphasized that he ia not making @ny apectacular recommendation nor ing as a cotnage crank. “Tt is a theoretical idea toward which the world gradually ts drift. fig.” he says, “you can’t Introduce much @ cataclymie thing abruptly. trend today is away money and the inflexible gold stand- ard and toward the price Index. fg the least suftable standard. Gold supply and money get out of alignment, particularly pressing needs of war. It ‘waant true that the price of things Fose, but that the price of gold fell. “The ideal aystem would be not so Many grains of gold to « dollar, but gold. The only thing Permanent is the average value of everything we use to live. Supposed to represent relative val- wes. You don't eat the gold—it tx the relative value of the things you need that counts.” Steinmetz pointed out that with a index dollar-unit the man who $20 a week in 1913 “normalcy” get $60 a week If the price shot up to 300—sautomatically, Without an actual increase in pay, AUTOMATIO ADJUSTMENT “It would be automatic adjust- ment,” he said. “The great difficulty fs that regulating such ‘index money’ * would require absolutely exact price index bulletins, perhaps weekly. Who could betrusted thus to regulate the Ration's business and the national Pocketbook? It would require an all- ‘wise central body. Maybe, as the rift goes on, future generations will Solve the problem.” Mentioning the proposal of Henry Fora and Thomas A. Edison to create “energy dollars’ by power de- velopment and land reciamation, Bteinmetz continued: “It doesn’t matter what we cali the money, or whether it Is backed ‘by gold or industrial development. ‘With the price index money we real. ly would be independent of what is back of it. “The dollar might still be #0 many rains of gold, but we would use the gold dollar multiplied by the price index. Business would be on that basis, for right now it is the basis Of all national activity. “Watch the curves of prices. Ad- Just money to the curves. Then we Will have stationary prosperity, with Mo periods of high prices or low prices. PRACTICAL EXAMPLE “If the 1913 dollar !s now 151 In the price index, say 220 last year, and perhaps less tomorrow, our money would be the same under this system—instead of the gold doliar being worth about 80 cents now, down to 25 cents three years ago, and nobody knows what tomorrow. “In hard times money was scarce apd it was hard to borrow. With ‘index money’ I could borrow $1,000 wud the lender, Instead of receiving back perhaps half that in actual pur. chasing power because times changed, would get exactly the right amount, tho | might be called $500 or $2,000. It would be fair to both of us. “The drift is toward the flexible prixe index standard of money and away from the arbitrary gold stand ard. “You see It In relations between employer and employe—in the in crease and decrease of wages, either automatic or in strikes and lockouts, “Public commissions are being guided by it, in wage adjustments and in gas, light, car and telephone rates.” Steinmetz declared he was not fathering the idea—merely digcusw ing it. And he wouldn’t hazard a guess how soon the money millen- nium might arrive! A NEW STIMULUS to trade be- tween Seattle and Mexico Is promised by Jone A.

She BY JACK JUNGMEYER LOS ANGELES, July %.—Edna Wallace Hopper is telling the world how to be a flapper at §2. She ought to know c ahe's looks 20, weighs 9% pounds, wears knee-length skirts, and hasn't a bit of «ray in her bobbed brown hair. “I'm touring the country,” Miss Hopper says, “to trpress on Amert- can women that they can, by tak. ing care, extend the appearance and spirit of their ‘teons over into the fifties and sixties. I use myself as the example, and my message chiefly for the flapper to encourage her in her sensible vanity.” Miss Hopper, who made her stage debut fn 1491, six months ago got tired of her old face and had a eur: geon provide a new one by an opern- tion to remove sag by stretching. “Despite all my care, a few wrinkles had appeared.” she said.

What shall I do? henner” Well, little Mine 18, it seems pretty evident that you jot im love with either man, You are having @ wonderful time because, Nke all women, you like to be admired and made much of. You say you would be unhappy if either of the two stopped caring for you. But wouldn't you be just an happy tf some other agreeable tu@ paid attention to you? It would not be fair to aay that handsome men never make good hus- bands. But tt may be just as well to remind you that a very handsome man ta likely to attract a whole lot of attention, whether he be your hus- band or not. And the question 4, you think you would be jealous of him because of attention? A good many people would say that a handsome man is likely to have more temptation than a plain one, too. This would be Just as true of the pretty and the plain woman, of course. The only really safe and sane an- awer you could make to yourself on this question of whom to marry would be, “Whom do I really lover” And if you can't make up your mind which of the two you love, it ts possible you don't love either. A very good way for a girl to de- cide between tio lovers is to send them both away for a time, Then she can have @ chance to figure out which of the two she would hate to think of never secing again, or which of the two she is more ancious to see. The only handsome or plain that a woman should consider in choosing a husband is the handsome or plain that describes the man’s character, see Dear Miss Grey: I am sending a recipe tor cherry olives, which one jof your readers asked for last week.

We look into the mirror, see wrinkles, and we begin to act wrinkled, J hy Just reversed the process. A woman is as old as she looks.” Miss Hopper continues to work at keeping young every day, #0 age can score no setback.
