Dick’s Interfering
Muse
By MILDRED WELLS
<2>. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
WNU Service
WHEN Dick Williams decided to
try his luck at short-story writ
ing, he made Just one mistake. He
told Margie.
Margie was his very charming next
door neighbor. Margie danced well,
played tennis well enough, and
was always full of good spirits. She
was twenty-two. And she was pretty
Hut, so far as Dick was concerned,
that was all.
Dick’s mother, with whom he lived
In the house where he had been born
twenty-six years before, was away on
a month's visit to a sister. And when
the managing editor of the paper on
which Dick was a reporter told him
to take a day off the next week In
celebration of the completion of a
good series of Interviews Dick had
written, felt that he must talk over
his Idea with someone.
“You see,” be said to Margie the
evening before the great day, “I know
I could write If I had a chance—nny
way 1 think 1 could. Fiction, I mean.
So when old man Elwell passed out
this day off to me, I Just decided I'd
try my luck. I'll Just begin early In
the morning and work right on. If I
get a good story under way, all right.
If not, then that’s all right, too. I'll
feel better to have bad a chance to 1
try.”
After an early breakfast next morn
ing Maggie, the maid, started happily
forth with an unexpected day off bo
fore her.
“I’eace and quiet,” sighed Dick—
“and no interruptions." Then he made
ready for work by a cheerful living
room window—and the telephone
rang.
“Is Maggie there?" came a rich
burred voice.
“I’m sorry, but she's off for the
day," nnswered Dick, still cheerful.
“Anything I can do?"
“No, It’s nothing very Important,”
nnswered the voice, “Just tell her to
call cousin Annie tonight?"
Dick hung up, and went back to his
desk and began to plot his story.
Hero’s name — Stanley Weymouth,
lleroiue’s name—well, what? Margie
seemed to fit best. Yes, Stan and
Margie. He'd lay the story In—the
front doorbell rang.
Five minutes later, after an argu
ment with the laundryman, Dick was
back to his table.
Colorado, that was the place for his
story. He put down some notes about
how his characters looked. “Margie
—small, brown, soft eyes, fluffy hair."
And then there was a knock at the
back door. The butcher's boy and
chops.
Dick’s muse was a coy one, and
after he had answered the telephone !
to talk for ten minutes with a friend !
of his mother’s, had gone again to the j
front door to frown crossly at a boy I
soliciting magazine subscriptions, had I
gone to the cellar to let in the gas- :
meter man—by that time Dick's muse
was distinctly upset.
Pattering footsteps on the side
porch.
“Welt, darn 1” exclaimed Dick mild
ly. Ue went to the door.
There was Margie, a basket on her
arm. It was then he realized It had
been a mistake to tell Margie his
plans.
“Oh—•” she said. He looked tired
and Irritable and uncomfortable.
“Well, anyway, here’s your lunch.
Were you going to have any?”
She pushed her way past Dick and
laid out a tempting lunch.
•Tve been watching your house this
morning, and it seemed ns If every
Tom, Dick and Harry’s been here
to bother you."
“You don't know the worst. Tele
phone's been going the whole darned
day. Gosh, this tastes good.”
“It's cold," said Margie.
“Oh, hang it." exclaimed Dick.
“Ouess I’ve let the furnace fire go
out.”
"You shouldn’t try to write and keep
house, too,” said Margie. “I suppose
you think I’m another bother. Good
by. Just settle down to work again
and try to forget all the bothers."
He didn't notice that the side door
didn’t slam shut And he didn’t hear
Margie’s Investigating steps into the
cellar. Bat flve minutes later she
WHAT STABILIZATION
MEANS
By Professor G. F. Warren, of
Cornell University, one of the
nation’s foremost economists.
(Continued from last week.)
Stabilizing the commodity
price level does not mean that
any single commodity will be
free from fluctuations in price
due to 'the supply of it or the
demand for it. It does not mean
that commodity prices as a
whole may be freed from be
ing swept up or down as a
mass due either to world sup
ply of gold or frantic changes
in the demands for it. There
are many proposals for limited
or complete stabilization.
Credit Expansion
A gradual and slow increase
in the amount of monetary cir
culation plus bank deposits per
dollar of gold in the United
States has been taking place
for many years. There is no in
dication that the Federal Re
rerve system has speeded up
this normal growth of circulat
ion plus credit per dollar of
geld. Whenever the normal is
much exceeded a reaction oc
curs.
Some persons believe that
the Federal Reserve system is
to blame for the decline in
prices, and that there is gold
enough to maintain predeflat
ion prices if credit were prop
erly managed. The evidence
indicates that a rise in the val
ue of gold was inevitable with
the return of the world-wide
demand for it. Credit man
agement might have prevented
a part of the stock-market
boom. No evidence has been
found that credit management
could have prevented a decline
in commodity prices, or that
the 1929 commodity prices can
be restored by credit manage
ment and still maintain the
present price of gold.
By the management of cred
it it is possible to throw com
modity prices out of line with
gold by a limited amount.
There is no indication that any
slipped quietly duck into tne room, a
log and some kindlings In the basket
on her arm. “Furnace Is all right,”
she said reassuringly. “I’ve opened
the draughts. Just stop worrying.”
And she put the kindlings and log In
the fireplace, touched a match to the
paper under them, and, when they
were blazing, cleared up the lunch
things and then sat down quietly be
side the fire with a magazine.
The afternoon went amazingly well.
It seemed, to Dick, the most nntural
thing In the world to have Margie
there—answering doorbells and tele
phones and keeping the detail of wor
ries from him.
At six he stretched his long legs un
der the table, clasped his arms he
hind his head and looked across the
room to Margie, still sitting quietly
by the fireplace.
“Margie," he said, rather awedly, “I
think I’ve got It. I mean. I think It’s
a real story. And It's due to you.
Not Just keeping away the Interrup
tion—more than that.”
“Well—” snld Margie.
"Margie, the heroine’s like you
She’s little, nnd brown, with soft eyes,
and fluffy hair and—Margie, In fhe end
Stan's going to marry her!”
"Is he?” said Margie softly. “I
don’t mind.”
! permanent change in this re
j lationship can be accomplished
j in this way. Overexpansion of
| credit brings on a reaction, and
| s o does overcontraction of
I credit. The policy of the Fed
leral Government in 1932 was
j based on the theory that prices
could be raised by credit. The
Reconstruction Finance Corp
oration lent money to many
agencies in the expectation
that credit expansion by the
Reconstruction Finance Corp
oration and the Federal Re
serve banks would raise prices
and restore equities back of se
curities and start business ac
tivity. The policy did check
contraction, at least temporar
ily; but only a rise in the price
structure can stop bankrupt
cies and start employment. It
is not possible to expand credit
sufficiently ito do this and still
maintain the present price of
gold.
Currency Expansion
It is very easy to raise the
price level by an expansion of
the currency, but any expan
sion that is sufficient to re
store the prices of commodi
ties to the debt level would
make it impossible to continue
to redeem each of the paper
dollars with 23.22 grains of
gold. There is no way of print
ing paper money that will
make it possible materially to
j change the relative values of
j gold and commodities.
Remonetization of Silver
By adopting bimetallism or
symmetallism it is possoble to
set any price level that is de
sired. If silver is remonetized,
j it should certainly be done by
[ symmetallism, as is proposed
| by the great British economist,
Alfred Marshall. This propos
al is now receiving consider
able attention in-England. It
is very simple. Instead of hav
ing a dollar exchange for 23.22
grains of gold it would ex
change for some given weight
of gold plus a given weight of
silver. Since two commodities
are more stable than one, and
:ince silver production is less
erratic than gold production,
such a money would be more
stable than gold. If once es
tablished, it would work in the
same way in which the gold
standard works, except for
greater stability.
Revaluation
Most of the continent of Eu
rope has reduced the weight of
gold in the monetary unit. It is
probable that England and the
30 other countries that have
suspended the gold standard
will do the same. If so, this
will leave the United States as
one of the very few countries
that attempts to maintain the
pre-war price of gold, regard
less of the supply of it or de
mand for it.
France reduced the weight of
gold in the franc by four-fifths,
so that when our prices are 100
