You could feed your horses and yourself at the same time. Horses have given place to the automobile and the filling station takes the place of the wagon-shed, while the food ob tainable along the highways^varies, as a rule, from bad to worse. A 8k any motor tourist how many places he found to oat where the food was really palatable. He'll remember them all: it is no tax on the memory! j With everything else becoming standardized, th<^ movement to stan- ! dardize roadside food stations so that U.? motourisit can be sure, before try hm luck, of what he is going to get, was bound to come. One of the big j oil companies, operating its own gas- i oline filling stations, has made a deal j with a large restaurant organization ! which operates a chain of eaiting places in many part? of the country. Light lunches of good quality and real coffee are to be served at the filling stations. I can think of noth ing better calculated to encouropp motor touring. GOLD With their money depreciated and their nation off the gold standard, the ? people of England are showing their patriotism, by turning in their gold jewelry and ornament? to be melted up for money. One noble duke gave up his coronet, worth $50,000 in coin but many times that in sentimental association. Of course, the people who are doing this get the bullion value of their gold in the form of bank notes., but tt strengthens their nation's financial position because it puts the gold where it can be weighed and counted as a basis' for currency, which is im possible when it is in private hands. ? Gold is useless except as, a basis of money. Thq, debate on the Glass Steigall bill, just enacted, disclosed the fact that only a part of America's gold reserve, the largest in the world, , was available for monetary purposes, owing to a defect in the original Fed eral Reserve Law. The new law remedies that defect, and we won't have to give up our coronets, yet a while, to keep our currency issues up in stiff icient volume for business needs. 1 -.ni-"? SILVER Talk about restoring silver to its place as a basis of money is being heard everywhere. The latest move in this direction is the introduction in Congress by Representative Som ers of Brooklyn of-A resolution for an International conference on silver. I am not sure that I agree with my friend Rene Leon, regarded as the foremost authority on silver, that the J demonetization of silver by the Brit ish government in India in 1926 is at the bottom of all of the world's pre-^ sent economic trouble, but I do be lieve that the legalization of silver, up to a reasonable (percentage of gold, as a basis for currency, would help to stabilize finance and business. At any rate, as I have often said before in this column, silver is some thing interesting to watch. DUCKS It looks as if the Twentieth Amend ment to the Constitution of the United States would be one which would change the date of President ial inaugurations and eliminate "lame ducks" from Congress. As things are now, we elect a , new President and OongveM ',n Novem ber b<*t their term of office does not begin until Maich 4 the next year. In the meant' me, the old Congress holds a session in which defeated members, know.i as "lame ducks"* still sit. This is * ".fang^er from the old stage-coach, horpfcback days of slow travel. It used to take three or foul months to get to Washington. . Both houses of Congress have agreed to submit a Constitutional amendment making January 3 the dale for Con press to meet with only the newly elected members sitting, and the new President to take office on tfanuary 20 Instead of on Mfurch "?'* . This probably cannot become ef fective before 1986, as it is not likely enough states will ratify It to put !t Into for MM. AMERICA While the' "Star-Spangled Banner" is the official national anthem of the United States, many more people can sing "America," the familar song beginning "My country, 'tis of Thee'. That was written just 100 years ago, jn 1882, by the Rev. Sam ueU Francis Smith, who was then a theologcal student. He discovered an old Ger man tune in a collection of hytmns, and in half an hour had written the words which are still sung, to fit the tune. It was not until some time afterwards that the same time was adopted in England for the na tional Anthem, "&od save the King."
