AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Tnis newspaper is not connected in any manner with any j
stock brokerage firm tr other establishment associated in or I
interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in-1
rormation relative to local mining development that is not be- j
lleved to be in full accord with fact.
Not Inflation.
(From Alining Truth)
“Economists (not all) con
tinue to expose their ignorance
by denouncing the proposed re
monetization of silver as “in
flation.” There is a limited
amount of silver in the world
an unlimited amount of paper.
Restoration of silver would not
constitute inflation. Any form
of fiat currency, pirinting-press
money, is inflation. And any
form of “managed” currency
is an additional invitation for
organized cunning to oppress
unorganized industry.
“Who’s to do the managing?”

Auto Fuel Waste
We are getting only a small!
fraction of the power contained ;
in the gasoline used in automo- j
biles, trucks, busses, motor
boats and airplanes, according
to many leading experts.
Lieutenant-Commander G. O. ;
Noville, famous North Pole
and trans-Atlantic flyer, who
was the first general superin
tendent of the United States
air mail, declares that our auto
mobile engines give in trans
portation only 5 or G per cent
of the heat-power created by
the fuel, trucks and busses 7 or
8 per cent and motor boats and
airplanes about 10 per cent.
He says that any company op
erating 10 tri-motor planes on
a 10-hour a day basis is losing
more than $60,000 a year on
fuel alone.
Present gasoline engines em
ploy what is called the Otto cy
cle, which dates back to their
origin. The Diesel cycle, or
principle to employ cheap fuel,
is making great headway in
superceding gasoline engines,
especially in the larger units.
Now comes the Schwartz cycle,
which increases vastly the
efficiency of gasoline or allows
the use of inexpensive fuel oil
in ordinary gasoline engines.
The Schwartz cycle, now be
ing elaborately tested at New
York University following ex
haustive tests by other scientif
ic authorities, gives great
promise in the direction of
economy. If it proves itself as
leading engineering bodies and i
technical editors believe it will,
it will save many millions a
year. This will mean cheaper
automotive land, air and water
transportation, with pleasant
dividend surprises for investors
in transport companies, besides
the elimination of the deadly
fire peril through the increased ,
use of non-volatile fuels.
-o
A Peculiar People
One of the most peculiar of
religious sects is the Doukho
bors, members of which recent
ly clashed with the authorities \
in Canada, as a result of parad- |
ing nude in protest against j
their expulsion from certain j
communities.
At Thrums, British Columbia,
34 men and 33 women were ar
rested in a single day, after re
sisting the police, who finally
subdued them by spraying
“itch powder” on their naked
bodies.
Aside from their hobby of
going without clothing on oc
cassion, the Doukhobors are
said to be unobjectionable, be
ing ordinarily quiet, honest and
industrious people. Their re
ligious and political views are
primitive and communistic.
They accept certain portions of
the Bible, but have no preach
ers or priests. When they as
semble for prayer, all members
are considered equal. They
have no ceremonies at marriag
es, which are contracted on
conscience only. Wives and
husbands are “sisters” and
“brothers;” parents are ad
dressed as “old man” and “old
woman.” They do not approve
use of the labor of animals.
The Doukhobors migrated to
Canada in 1898 from Russia,
where the sect originated
about 200 years ago,and where
it had been subjected to gov
ernmental persecutions at vari
ous times.
To anyone not inspired with
fervent religious zeal, both
Russia and Canada would seem
rather cold countries in which
to exercise their penchant for
going without clothes.
Just for Fun
-o
When a movie couple pub
licly announce how happy they
ate, the divorce lawyers know
there i s new business just
around the corner.
To hear them tell it, it’s too
bad that s o many unwilling
politicians must run for office
to satisfy the demands of the
public.
Presumably as another effort
at farm relief, the Department
of Agriculture has issued a
bulletin on “Canal-Boat Child
ren.”
The National League will
probably get more publicity
than the League o f Nations
during the next few months.
Rudimentary gills have been
found in the throat of a New
York man. Perhaps a former
Wall Street bull.
It is said that moonlight in
spires the writing o f poetry.
And moonshine produces the
urge to try to sing it.
Optimism is a fine thing,but
we have observed that more
optimists than pessimists land
in the poor house.
Politicians can tell us of the
things that ought to be done,
but it takes statesmen to do
them.
Present-day counterfeiters
might plead i n extenuation
hat folks must have something
to use for money.
INTERESTING NOTES
Fresno, Calif., fire depart
ment estimates it pumps app
roximately 3,000 gallons o f
water per fire.
One thousand Hungarian
partridges soon will arrive
from Czechoslovakia to stock
Pennsylvania lands.
Some of the safe-deposit
vault doors in the United
States banks have four locks
with 16,351,000 different com
binations.
Gales in northern Europe
have been so severe this winter
that Sweden alone is said to
have had three million forest
trees felled by the wind.
