SELECT PRODUCTS, 4402 2Sr* SU Leai Washington.—It may be, and possibly Is, true that the bulk of our people pay little attention Gold /• to the fact that gold Pouringln l > pouring into the . United States In an unprecedented volume. I * can under stand how the wheat farmer of the plains country or the cotton fanner of the South or any other type of farmer can fall to become excited over the Influx of gold In the last five or six months: It appears to-be a far cry from the grain fields or the cotton fields or the quarries or the small town to the heavy concentration of yellow metal to which the. United States has been subjected. But ttie link never theless exists. It exists as surely and as definitely as night follows day and, therefore. It becomes a subject In which all of us are vitally Interested Since the beginning of September a widespread flight of capital from Eu rope has manifested Itself In the shape of. gold exports to the United States. Three or four hundred millions of dol lars In gold have landed here In that time. They bring the net Inflow of gold for the year well above $1,000,- 000.000. And, going a bit further, this addition plus another $1,000,000,000 places our gold stocks In excess of $9,400,000,000, or roughly $2,000,000,000 more than was held here when the dollar was devalued under President Roosevelt’s Instructions. It seems Impossible to attribute this heavy and prolonged Inflow to any sin gle cause. Immediately after devalu ation of the dollar, there was a steady stream of yellow metal headed for the United States which was due almost entirely to a desire of American hold ers of gold, temporarily stored abroad, to repatriate. But even In that case, there was a contributory factor to he MILNESIA WATERS pur considered. Monetary manipulation by the American government had a tem porary 'effect on our exports. Increas ing them to some extent and It was increasing the balance of payments due to this country. So, we find our policies —that Is, policies of the Roosevelt ad ministration—responsible for the start of the Inflow. Later, another influence developed. Under the pressure of American mone tary policies, foreign powers found their allegiance to the gold standard severely strained'. Sliver purchases by the treasury had an effect. The com bination was primarily responsible for the second rush of gold. Subsequently, the Itallan-Ethloplan controversy began to take serious form and a new flood of gold to America de veloped. This was different than that which had Immediately preceded It be cause this movement was related to International conditions of a political natune whereas the previous movement had resulted without relation to Inter national strife In a military way but centered wholly upon American mone tary policies and their effect upon economic conditions ahroa’d. • • • Now, let ns consider what can hap pen. Those acquainted with finance recognize in the ex- Whot Istence of a gigantic Can Happen stock of gold—the largest In American history and approximately 45 per cent of the entire world stock—the exist ence of a potential. If Indeed It Is not a probable, base for Inflation. There Is so much gold held by the American government, which holds virtually all of the gold stocks In this country, that no end of paper money can be Issued against It. Those who believe In that type of currency policies say that It would be perfectly safe; that the gov ernment could pay off dollar for dollar or even more than a dollar for every paper dollar outstanding from the gold It holds. This school of thought con tends that there Is actually a shortage of money In circulation and Insists that this is one reason why the coontry has not recovered from the depression more rapidly than conditions show. Of course, a cold appraisal of that argu ment catalogues It as the same old de mand for inflation of the currency and everyone knows what inflation will d* In the way of wrecking the person who -y^orks for wages or whose sole Income consists of a compensation delivered to him In the form of weekly, semi monthly, or monthly pay checks. The size of that check never has and never will catch up with the increase In prices which that individual must pay to live. Then, there Is another potential danger In this tremendous horde of gold. It Is In many ways similar to that which I have just related. It Is, however, more of a psychological con dition than the first. I refer to the at- titnde usually adopted by those who pull for Inflation when they see a government possessed of vast stores of precious metals. . • • • In this Instance, the tangent of Infla tionist sentiment Is Joined with the <u/ u/ « •Ponsors of the sll- W e twanf yer buying program. More Monay' Th ey see all^f this gold and silver and they simply cannot resist the oppor tunity tor continued howling. Their speeches and their conversations are almost like a college yell: “We want more money," the more money which they desire being nothing more nor less than currency run off In the printing presses of the great bureau of engrav ing and printing In Washington. Whether It is the first or the second type of Inflation that Is demanded, wonther if is the printing press money or the money Iss'ued against gold as security, the results are the same. It Is to be remembered In this connection that none of us can obtain gold from the treasury. The Roosevelt adminis tration demanded of and obtained from congress legislation which definitely prohibited payment of gold for mone tary use by the treasury under any cir cumstances except for the settlement of balances owed foreign nations. But that fact has not deferred demands by Inflationists. They are calling and will continue to call for more paper mone^ and with every call the prices you pay for commodities are bound to Increase —that Is, they will increase until or unless there Is a release of gold again for circulation as money. So, It Is quite apparent that as long as this Influx of gold continues and as long as other nations are harassed by monetary manipulation in the United States, we are continually threatened with a “business boom" which Is noth ing less than Inflation of credit The real danger; confronting this country, then, lies in that direction. Summar ized, the threat Is this: If that Infla tionist "business boom" gets started, no power on earth Is able or will be able to stop It. The next and final step after that Is complete destruction of our currency, and medium of exchange, • • • Political developments In the last few weeks have been completely dominated hy the splnrge of ac- Records of Bible Confirmed Scientific Researcfi, Aided by Spades of Explorers, Af ford Positive Proof of Truth of Events Chronicled in Sacred Writings. CROCHETED FLOWERS FOR POT HOLDERS Bv GRANDMOTHER CLARK Stirred by tlvlty on the part Hoover former President Herbert Hoover. His pot shots at the New Deal In several speeches have* agitated the Democrats much more than they are willing to admit and, notwithstanding assertions of satisfaction, they have thrown a new fear Into the laps of the Roosevelt New Dealers. But, If the Hoover speeches have ex cited the New Dealers and the con servative Democrats, they have almost precipitated a riot among the Repub licans of whom he must be said to be, at least, the titular leader. The bulk of the Republicans look npon Mr. Hoover, because qf . these recent speeches, as a potential Republican nominee for the Presidency against Mr. Roosevelt next year. They look upon him, further, as-an Individual who Is likely to disrupt plans that contem plate reconciliation, a love feast, among the various factions of the Re publican party. They have been strug gling to lay a base for this love feast and because of the Intense hatred that some of their number have for Mr. Hoover, his activity has opened this breach again, made It a blood-red wound. Political observers and commentators have shown .all manner of excitement because Mr. Hoover has made no state ment whether he will or will not be a candidate for the Republican nomina tion. In plain words, they have been trying valiantly to conduct a cam paign that will smoke out Mr. Hoover and make him say whether he Is or la not a candidate. All of the efforts to find ont what Mr. Hoover proposes to do have failed and will continue to fall, even with the underground work of the New Deal, to bring from him a statement as to his purposes. He will announce them In his own good time and his statement will be definite when It Is made. Personally, from all of the Informa tion I have been able to assemble, I do not believe that Mr. Hoover has any Intention of seeking the nomina tion. I am convinced his purpose Is directed wholly and completely to one end: he fears the New Deal and he is trying with all of the power that he possesses to acquaint the country with his views which are objlausly In oppo sition to the theorles*4nd*p o H<Me9 and experiments of the ^ew Deal. From sources which I consider to be faith ful, because they alwa^shaje—he^n accurate heretofore, It Is^apfmrent to me that Mr. Hoover desires to lend his help In acquainting the country with the things In the New Deal which he regards as dangerous to our nation’s well being and that beyond such a pur pose he Is content to enjoy life as a fisherman and vacationist. But there Is another phase of this situation which seems to me to war rant consideration. While some of the antl-Hooverltes have been denouncing him, even calling him names under their breath, Mr. Hoover has done the Republican party a big favor. By his attacks on the New Deal; by his con demnation of the things In It which he regards as certain to be destructive; In short, by his activity which many con strue as a campaign for the nomina tion, he has made the Republicans con scious of the Job they have to do. He has awakened them and has put fight Into them which three or four ihoft months ago did not exist 0 Western N*wsf>*p«r Union. A. B. COOPER, In lh« London (Eng.) Mugaslno, Answers. The essential truth of the Bible Is not dependent upon the accuracy of Its history, and there are many paa sages In the Sacred Writings which must be interpreted In s symbolic rather than s literal sense. It is remarkable, however, how Old Testament history, after being labeled as "legendary," or, at best exaggerated," bps recently been con firmed as a result of independent re search. * * « For Instance, a little while ago, destructive critics simply laughed at the story of the Flood, and at nuCu Incidents as the crossing of Jordan dryshod and the collapse of the walls of Jericho. But today excavations eo ancient sites In Palestine, Egypt., Mesopotamia, and elsewhere have vindicated the Bible narrative com pletely, even on the points most seri ously challenged. To take an example, It used to he urged that Abraham must have been merely a nomad, quite unlettered, and utterly Incapable of the acts and words and vision attributed to him. We now know, from discoveries at Ur of the Chaldees, that, as a youth In that city, he was a member of a community enjoying a high degree of civilization. The land of Ur had great cities, settled laws, a state re ligion, a thriving commerce, schools and monasteries and libraries. Springing as he did from an in fluential family, Abraham would par take of the culture and learning of Ur. In short, the circumstances of place and time as we now know them, are not opposed to the Bible narrative. But let us see what modern meth ods of investigation have revealed about specific Incidents. Take the Flood, upon which so much scorn has been cast During the winter of 1928-9, the excavators of Ur in Babylonia came upon s stratum of alluvial deposit which made a clear how Israel crossed the Jordan dry- shod. Mnffntt translates: “The wa ters that flow down stopped and were dammed up at a distance at Adam, while the waters that flow to the Halt sea were cut off and failed.” Adam was a city 14 miles upstream. Here there Is a ford now jenown as Jlsr ed-Damieh, and during the earthquake period of 1927 the west bank of this ford collapsed, and part of the cliff so dammed the Jordan that no water flowed down Us bed for 21 hours! On three occasions during com paratively recent times a similar re sult has ensued from great falls of rock and earth. It seems likely that some similar event took place when Israel crossed the river on their way to Jericho. There followed Immediately the much-discussed and often ridiculed collapse ot the walls of Jericho. Professor Garstang, who Is still oc cupled on this site, says: "There re mains no doubt that the walls of the city fell outward so completely that the attackers were able to clamber up, and over, the ruins Into the city.” He suggests an earthquake as the possible cause, and earthquakes have occurred in this region recently. Readers of the Bible know that, although the Israelites had large initial successes In their lavaslon of Oanaan, they failed to subjugate the whole land, and the Jebusite city, which was later known as Jerusalem, held out until the time of David. It was exceedingly small compared with the modern city, occupying the sum mit of a great rock called Ophel, the area being oot more than some ten acres. When David invested It,* the In habitants felt so secure that they said the blind and lame could hold it against him. David said: "Who soever smiteth the Jebusltes let him go up the watercourse" (A. V. gut ter). Pot holders ^crocheted with heavy’ string are very practical and whea made In flower forms are really lovw- ly. They are heavy enough to pro tect the hands without requiring padding.

They came to the conclusion that It could only be explained by a flood of great ex tent and duration, occurring about 3000 B. C. or earlier. So, quite apart from the account in Genesis, and the one on the Baby lonian tablets in the British museum, It would appear that the account of a great flood, which destroyed cities and people over a vast region, is not legend but history. The very existence of Sodom and Gomorrah, which the Bible tells us were destroyed In Abraham’s time, has been doubted, yet, only last year, an airman flying over the Dead sea saw through the crystalline water what appeared to be extensive ruins. Further investigation Is to be made. Bat other ruins have been found, covered with ashes. In the neighbor hood of the Dead sea. We learn from the Bible that Lot, Abraham’s nephew, chose the valley of Sodom because of Its extreme fer tility. Today there Is, perhaps, no more desolate region. What happened to It? In the heav-, lly bituminous soli there probably occurred one of those terrible ex plosions and conflagrations which have been noted in the similar geo logical formations of the oil districts of North America. In such roll, vast reservoirs of oil and accumulations of gas occur. These may suddenly be released either by their own pressure or by earthquake The gas explodes and flings up masses of oil which return In a fiery rain which will go on blazing even when It falls on water. Saline mud may also be ejected, and these things combined render a fertile land utterly barren. Such a phenomenon would account for all the statements In the graphic Bible narrative. Now turn to Joshua 3:14-17 In the Revised Version, Id which Is related It used to be understood thuST Whoever smites the Jebusltes let him hurl Into the watercourse (1. a, down the precipice) the lame and blind. Then excavation takes place and makes the whole thing simple. "War ren's shaft." named after the exes vator who discovered It, provided the key to the city. This ‘shaft" bad been constructed to form a safe, sheltered way down the “Virgin’s Well," from which water was drawn during a siege. So what David said In effect was this: "What we have to do Is to climb Into the city by way of the water shaft" The appearance of Josh and his companions took the garfrson com pletely by surprise, the city fell, and became the nucleus of Jerusalem, the City a# David. These examples suffice to show how notably t^e Bible narrative Is being confirmed by records long hid In the depths of the earth and now being revealed by modern research.

One is Immediate anxiety—for the next meal; for the safety of some one close and beloved; for tha Job; for the rent money. These sra bad fears, but they have oae advan tage They can he faced, and they can Indicate direct action. There !• something to be done, something whirh haa to he dona Ona can take these fears out and look them over. The wolf is at the door, but perhaps he can be kept ont; and there Is al ways the hope that be Is only a coyote after all. The other fear la far more deadly because It deals with the spirit and feeds on the Imagination. It senses about It some hostile force, bet does not know paecisely what tbs danger la There Is no more defense against this fear than tgalnst a ghost It comes through the keyhole and hangs over the bed; and men kin themselves to escape It or retire into aaylums and sit hnddled In dark corners. It Is a psychosis—If Cast la tee word. It has no actual reality. Back of us either builds It for himself or lays himself open to It It destroys but never builds. It can take tha strong and turn them Into old bbsb with shaking bands. It Is more do st ructive than any fact We can face hunger better, for hunger Is a real thing. And the only way to fight It Is to know It for what It la: sheer apprehension, despondency, funk* without reality except In the human mind.—Mary Roberts Rinehart to Cosmopolitan.
