Times) Our hosteas, noticing the oncom ing symptoms of general Intellectual fstlgje, introduced the main musi cian of the evening and Ellca Feaa oott responded as only she can to the melony "A Song Without Words." A sllsh pause followed Why the sus pense? Could It be possible that the time for parting had arrived so soon. Amid such reflections Miss Wesacott threw suspense, suspicion snd a thrill of romance Into the little audience as the "familiar to some" strains of wtddlng march tilled the room. Married men squirmed and former brides reacted nervously as the door ooend The suspense wss intense Just then an unexpected surprise tarUjed the onlookers. Beware of False Economy EXTREMES are always undesirable. Economy is fine and imperative in government administration at the present time. But there is such a thing as too much economy, going to such an extreme that the ultimate loss exceeds the immediate saving. This results in a false economy which isn't economy at all but extravagance. Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt called attention to this, with charac teristic directness and common Bense, a day or two ago. Speaking to the press she said : "The cutallment of funds for experimental and research work If carried to excess now, might needlessly harm future generations. We should avoid all false economy. The desire for economy Is natural and proper, but we should carefully weigh what will do harm, and what can be done WITHOUT harm. Women should pay attention to what and where curtailments come. With sufficient pressure from women the proper kind of economy can be brought about." This excellent advice refers particularly to agricultural re search and extension work in Oregon, abandoning such work entirely would be a glaring example of the false economy to which Mrs. Roosevelt refers. All possible economies should be obcerved, but abandoning the machinery of such work ENTIRELY, would in our judg ment, result in a far greater loss to the state, than any possible immediate gain. Good judgment and common sense alone are needed. Wreck ing all extension, research, Smith-Hughes and 4-H club work in Oregon would be a perfect example of being penny-wise and pound-foolish. ' Looks Pretty Hopeless but- IF President Roosevelt can accomplish anything worth while in the coming economic conference then he is indeed a Miracle Man. ' - : ' Not only will he be opposed by the most skillful diplomats of the world, but he will have to wage his fight single handed. He will have no real ally, it will be the United States against the world. ' One of the purposes of this conference will be the stabiliza tion of international exchange the acceptance of some common, monetary system which will relieve this country of the destruc tive effects of depreciated currencies in Europe and Japan. Another will be the lowering of tariffs, the reduction of trade barriers, and consequent stimulation of international trade. But with depreciated currencies abroad, profitable to this country's competitors, particularly England and Japan it is difficult to Bee how . any real progress can be made in this direction. With economic nationalism rampant throughout the world it is equally difficult to see how with all the world powers, wanting to sell, and refusing to buy, any material lowering of trade barriers can be affected. Moreover behind this conference and looming ominously above it will be the war debts, an unsoluable problem, if there ever was one, al least insoluable as far as any solution satis factory to the people of this country is concerned. The only bright spot we can see in the situntion, is this: the international situation is so bad economically, it could hardly be worse. If the conference should, as appears likely, accomplish nothing WORTH WHILE, but should result in a better understanding a clearor view on all sides of the nature of the world problem, it could be regarded as a reasonable BOLD STEP TAKEN IN QUITTING GOLD TO BOOST PRICES (Continued from Pag Ons.) authorities, to keep Its currency close to Its gold parity had It desired. Aim to Cut Dollar's Value. The suspension of the gold stand ard was undertaken deliberately to decrease the purchsslng power of the dollar, In an effort to tnorease prices and to bring the eoonomlo structure back into a working balance. The gold standard, as commonly defined, provides a measure of value In terms of gold, through redemption of ourrenoy In fixed amounts of gold upon demand, In the case of our cur rency, In 23.23 grains of fine gold to the dollar. Thus, ths gold standard In tnr: country had not been In full opera tion sines the banking holiday In March, when redemption of paper money waa halted, but the treasury had licensed a few gold exports for foreign exchange transactions, tend ing to support the dollar close to gold parity. The definite embargo now placed on exports clarifies ths situation. Gold Export Checked, acid's chief Importance In the fi nancial world has been In settling International balances, for It Is the only international measure of value. With gold exports checked, the dollar must find Its own level In relation to other currencies, on a demand and aupply basis, subject to the control of dealings by ths New York federal reserve bsnk, which has been In ef fect since the banking holiday. With the United States a creditor nation, and enjoying a favorable bal ance of trade, foreign exchange ex perts explain that under normal con ditions, the dollar left to find its own levol on a demand and supply basis would naturally be expected to advance rather than to decline. The favorable bulance of payments to this country have resulted In a huge lncreass In Its store of gold In the past decade. Foreigners Sell Dollars. But the beftef that the United estate, might seek to extricate Itself from Its economic morass through reduc ing the purchasing power of the dol lar has been sufficient to prompt sell ing of dollars by foreigners with bal ances In New York, and the purchase of other currencies, as well as selling of dollars by foreign exchsnge specu lators. , It Is U: Is abnormal pressure against the dollar, exchange experts explain, which has decreased Its level In rela tion to other currencies. How far such pressure may reduce the level of the dollar la regarded In Wall street as highly problematical, and depend ent largely upon Inflationary steps taken In Washington. Inflation has become such a con tentious word that a number of fi nancial authorities have sought to substitute other words for It, such as "antl-deflatlon." Inflation Is com monly defined as an Increase In the circulating medium, meaning either currency or bank credit In the form of checks, or both, with a consequent rise In prices. - - Currency Expansion a Form. Inflation may be accomplished through either credit or currenoy ex pansion. It may be accomplished through heavy expansion of bank credit, as In the recent boom years, or through depreciation of the cur rency, through deliberate reductoln In the gold content, an Increase In the volume of currency with conse quent reduction of gold reserves, or deliberate Issue of flat money. The form of Inflation most widely feared Is the Issue of flat money, which has frequently resulted from failure of governments to balance their budgets, their eventual loss of credit and Inability to borrow, fi nally leading to the printing of un secured paper money to pay expenses. It was such a course of events which led to the American Issue of "green backs" during the civil, war. - FOR WiFEJLAYER BURNS, Ore., April 30. (AP) Death on the gallows was the penalty ordered for Harry Riley, 40, by a cir cuit court Jury which shortly before midnight convicted him of slaying hla wife, Hilda, at the home of her parent here. The woman waa shot to death after Riley had made an attempt to per suade her to return to live with him. Riley also shot and killed her father, Carey Thornburg, and seriously wounded his wife's mother. He waa tried only for hla wife's death. The Jury made no recommendation for life Imprisonment and the death penalty Is thereby mandatory.

Recently we gave a composite analy sis of right-minded nesa and anhe donla In parallel columns, thus: Klght-Mlndedness Anhedonla Motion Play Work Diversion Relaxation Pleasure Contentment Happiness Emotion Sport Business -Thrill Boredom, ennui Vice RcstleseneaB Despair Revered old age. Suicide. Now let us see where tobacco be longs. Fanatlca will expect me to put tobacco in the right hand column. Many tobacco addicts will expect me to put It In the left hand column. But I'm going to play It both ways with proper lim itations. In the right hand col umn I'll place tobacco addiction or slavery. In the left I'll place total abstinence and temperance In regard to tobacco. Pa renthetically and Just to show there la no bias, let me say that there la no possible doubt as to the proper place for alcohol In this analysis of many human lives. It belongs In the right column exclusively, RIghtmlndedne&s you DO SOME THING. No matter what you may fight or you may run away, you may shingle the garage or spade the gar den, but you DO SOMETHING. Anhedonla Incapacity to enjoy life you Just sit still and try to appear nonchalant. Or you smoke. Sherlock Holmes reaching for his syringe Is a piteous figure, a mistake of his creator's. .The young person lighting a smoke to conceal something Is likewise a piteous figure, a mis take of our educational system. The smoker who feels Impelled to resort to tobacco In the midst of a day's work or a game or a meal merely drugs down the faint Impulse that still stirs In him to do something. He Just sits tight and waits till the drug obtunds the Instinctive Impulse. To that degree tobacco Is hla addic tion. It dulls his consciousness oj his own worthlessness, Incompetence, Ignorance, weakness, or Inability to participate In whatever la going on. The temperate smoker responds to the action Impulse by DOING SOME THING or other Instead of attempt ing to pretend nonchalance or Indif ference. Thru action he blows off steam. And he derives far greater enjoyment from his quiet smoke after the day's work, play or activity la over and the hour for relaxation has come. . Meteorological Report - .

The city recorder es Brady, M.D. Youth Is the period of action, the time to DO SOMETHING even If only to bounce about like a playful pup or a lively kitten. It Is sadder to see youth substituting the obtundent effect of tobacco for the normal reac tion to the Impulse to DO SOME THING than It Is to see an old burned out fool trying to drown hla misery In drink. ' Somehow It seems that the youth has been robbed of his chance; he has not received a fair deal In his education. I am more convinced than ever be fore that the young person who wants to enjoy life will not use tobacco before he or she has attained full adult development, and any one who doea use tobacco gete the greatest pleasure and the least harm from It by temperance In Its use. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Glitter. I work all day at a desk that haa a glass top. Lighting Is natural day light, from a window at left of desk. Is this hard on the eyes? Miss V.

One of the arguments against mu nicipal ownership yi utilities Is that municipalities are not forward look Ing and will not merchandise their product. The policy of the "customer being right" is abandoned In many instances, and dl&sat'sf action results. Probably the most unsatisfactory feature of the Ashland collection sys tem is the matter of the 50 cent pen alty due If bills are not paid by the 10th of each month. During better times when 60 cents did not look like such a large amount, there were com plaints, but those who find difficul ty in meeting the light and water oharftes find this penalty a burden difficult to bear and a burden which seems to them unnecessary.
