BUYING SILVER
“Monetary experts” in the Senate who have complair.et
recently of an apparent let-up in the Government s purchase,
of silver can find no cause for dissatisfaction in the most re
tent figures of the Department of Commerce. They show
imports of this metal during the week ended January li
valued at more than $5,000,000. This is about three time,
the amount reported for the preceding week and more that
live times the figure for the final week of 1934. Tire Troas
ury's purchases, which seem to have slowed clown inexplic
ably on the very eve of the convening of Congress, have ap
parently picked" up again. Imports in the last week report
ed were approximately at the high rate reached in Augus
and September. For 1934 as a whole, imports were valuer
at more than $100,000,000, compared with less than $20.
000,000 in 1932.
The Treasury, however, is somewhat in the position o
a man attempting to hurry upstairs on an escalator whicl
is coming down. The Silver Purchase Act of 1934 requit
es it “ultimately" to maintain one-fourth of our monetary
stock in silver. It was estimated when ibis law was passer
last June that the acquisition of more than 1,300,000,001
ounces would be needed to bring our silver stock into a rati
of one to three with gold, and this figure has subsequent 1;
been increased by the fact that we have meantime adder
greatly to our stock of gold. In order to carry out the man
date of Congress it is necessary for the Treasury to aequir
33.3 cents worth of silver for every dollar of gold imported
and imports of gold have increased in recent weeks in con
sequence of the strength of the dollar in the foreign ex
change markets.
What is being accomplished by bringing more silver t
tiie United States remains as complete a mystery as whei
these purchases began. It was predicted in the Senate tha
“money in circulation” would increase rapidly, that com
modity prices would soar, that the silver mining trad'
would boom and that commerce with China would prospei
But “money in circulation" is less today than a year age
commodity prices are only fractionally higher than at th
end of June, domestic production of silver, is about 50 pe
cent below the pre-depresssion level and Chinese trade is i:
the dumps.—Exchange.
Boss (to Pat)—So you want to leave the works. An
your wages insufficient ?
Pat—The Wages are all right, sur, but I’m afraid I’n
doin’ a horse out of a job.—Exchange._

THE PERFECT HOSTESS.
Housekeepers will have a fellow feeling for Mrs. Roose
velt, who had invited the members of the Chautauqua Wo
men's Club to luncheon at the White House, expecting per
haps 300 guests, and had to feed 900. She met the emer
gencies, not perhaps on such a vast scale. Extra dishes
were ordered, paper napkins substituted for linen, and addi
tional supplies telephoned for. Finally, she made two little
quiches to her guests, telling them how glad she was so
many of them had come.
As was said, many women have had to face similar
crises at luncheons or teas, and have emerged successful if
somewhat distracted. But probably only the unusually
■^elf-possessed few have had the presence of mind to recover
trom the ordeal sufficiently to make the unexpected guests
feel they were really welcome. In this glorious company
of perfect hostesses Mrs. Roosevelt now takes her stand !—
