Money and Civlliation
In Germany, the expected Commun-
ist storm has opened and the complete
collapse of money values has brought
German officials to the realization
that a .return to the gold standard is
absolutely essential to the caintenance
of the economic, social, and political
life P L the state. Tbe dollar was
quoted at 1,800,000 marks.
Chancellor Cuno, speaking at the
ergency session of the reichstag, said:
"In a few days the mark will be down
to 10,000,000. to the \dollar. In a few
days four years will have elapsed
since the adoption of the constitution
of th republic and seven months
since the Ruhr invasion."
That is the situation today. Money
is worthless, domestic commerce is
almost impossible and many persons
are suffering not because the ,country
is poor in resources but because there
is no practical method for their dis-
tribution. The determination of the
Germwan government to restore the
exchange on a gold basis is a wise
one. It will be difficult but it is
necessary if German life is to be
kept along the lines of modern civil-
ization.
Herr Cuno ended by saying: "Ger,-
many must and will continue passive
resistance, Germany can hope for no
outside help, but must help itself."
The, self-help program consists of an
internal gold value loan, gold value
taxes, and measures for fostering ec-
onomy. Europe seems to have start-
ed on a last desperate effort towards'
stabilization,.
Rewarding Dum-Bell Laws With
Billy-Clubs
There are some laws worse than .the
18th amendment and Ludington Blue
Laws,. but, thank goodness, they're
somewhere outside the United States.
A New Yorker was recently stopped
by customs, officers on the Canadian
side of the Niagara River who threat-
ened to arrest him unless he sur-
rendered a copy of the New York
Times which he was reading. The in-
nocent visitor, who didn't know what
it " was all about, at firAt suspected
that it was only a joke, but the officer
promptly informed him that the paper'
which he was reading contained odds
on some horse races: Even this fail-
ed to make any impression, until the
owner of the paper was told that he
"riacing dope" in his possession. The
poor fellow didn't even know what
"odds on a race" meant, but he sur-
rendered to the "plea rather \than be
"jugged." What law could be more
ridiculous?
On the basis of that and other stat-
utes, we suggest that a contest ,for
the most ridiculous law on the books
of - any local or national government
be held, and that the winner receive
a rubber billy-club, with which t
enforce it.
Experimenting With Fol .
Although we are living in an age of,
experimentalism, it seems that there
are limits to which this ever more1
popular method of "trying things out".
can be profitably put. The famous
electrical wizard, Dr. Charles Eteii-
metz, has advocated the election of
Henry Ford to the Presidency of the
United States on the basis that it
spouse and enquired:
"Can I call your wife a motorbus?"
The humble husband glanced at his
massive better half and whispered:
"Call her anything you like, but
don't let her hear you."

Dear Mr. Tarik: I am writing you
because I have seen you addressed in
your column several times as "doctor"
and I would like medical advice. The
brother of a good friend of mine went
out west about a year ago and I heard
the other, day that he died on account
of his hand. I asled what was the,
matter with his hand and was told
that he had "Five Aces." I have nev-
er heard of such a sicknessand would
like to know what it is.-
Vignette.
Vignette: We wish to clear up wun
point. The title of Dr. wich same was
donated us by several contribs begin-
ning, if I remember rightly by one
Outliat Nights, has little if any med-
ical significants and doubtless belongs'
to the same class and school of the
title immortalized by the faifamed
Dr. Sir Tom Lovell, etc.
However we have consulted a col-
league in the office here who' informs
us that the disease you speak of is
of the class known widely as,'deplori-
bus pokeritis'r'and generally fatal in
effect. A more common, less immed-
lately fatal, but just as destructive
form of the ailment is known as "No
Aces" and when persisting 'for some-
time often results in "Five Aces," if
you get what he means frankly We
don't.
WE HAVE plenty of books like
"From Office Boy to Chairman of the
Board of Directors" and sech. They
is also a lot of men qualified to right
such as' "From Bank President to St.
Sweeper" only they aren't so anxious
to croe about it.
DID YOU hear about the man who
is writing a .whole book on the point-
ed peak of the Eiffel Tower? That's a
funny place to write a book.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
EDUCATION BY WHOLESALE
(Detroit Free Press)
The illiteracy of Russia is admitted
on all hands to be one of the chief -dif-
ficulties in the way of any sort of
concerted national action. Apparent-
ly the soviet government shares this
view, for a recent dispatch describes
a giganti plan under which all Rus-
sians between the ages of 14 and 30
who cannot read and write, are to be
compelled within a period of eight
months to take a three months' course
in those arts and pass a publi exam--
ination. Severe punishments have
beer) provided for those who refuse to
learn and the government is staid to
expect that 35,000,000 Russians will
be trained under this law.
It is doubtful whether this experi-
ment in public education will work out
better than the effort made by the
soviet government to popularize the
universities by abolishing examina-
tions and opening them to everybody.
Teaching a student body consisting of
35,000,000 illiterates to read and write
is no holiday job. Such an attempt
would probably fail even in a coun-
try where the machinery of education
is as extensive and well developed as
it is in the United States, In Russia
where there is' no such organization
the task would appear to be prac-
tically impossible.
But even if'the Moscow government
should prove to be miraculously ef-
ficient as an educator, still there
would be little gain in the proposed
plan. Learning to read in school is
one thing. Acquiring the ability to
read intelligently is another thing.
American experience on this point
shows that thousands of men who
r
read and write, are still illiterate for
practical purgoses because they never
practice their accomplishments out of
school sufficiently to make any real
use of them. Russia's three months''
graduates will probably fall vary
largely into this class.
