THE PRESIDENT —OUR GUEST: The entire northern section of tlte state of Indiana is proud of the fact that President Franklin D. Roosevelt will be our guest on Monday of next week. Primarily, of course, the chief executive will be the guest of the I University of Notre Dame, which will bestow on him the degree of doctor of laws. But it is likewise true that every Hoosier will be the Preßident's host during his visit to Indiana. When F. D. R. visits South Bend, he will be honored by a great uniSfcBUY CHRISTMAS SEALS.®?

French i Postilions had M trouble with 4" SHOPPING DAY~ I J TO CHRISTMAS In lath Century France the Government mail wagons were twowheeled carts with basket-work bodies. Accompanying the two horses which pulled the coach, and also hitched up to it, was a third horse ridden by a postillion who wore enormous jack boots. The boots reached almost to bis waist and were quite roomy, but so thick and stiff, it was impossible to walk in them. When the time for de pasture c:ame. the bools were placed alongside the horse, the postil-ii-Mt stepped into them and then c limbered aboard his mount as best he could.

BALONEY DOLLAR SIGN: We can't award Mr. Mencken any public service prizes, bonus tor human interest, or even a citai tion for a good idea in the typo i graphical proposal he put forward in Baltimore Evening Sun for Nov. 25. Briefly, he agrees with the Hon. Alfred E. Smith that the American dollar is a "baloney" dollar; he argues that it is absurd and disingenuous to designate by the $ mark a piece of currency worth only 59.06 cents and backed by but 15 5 21 grains of gold. As a corrective, he designed and has cut by the Mergenthaler Linotype Company a new symbol—a capital B with two vertical lines cutting ' it —the B for baloney and the verI tical lines us memorials to the old j dollar. Without benefit of patent lor copyright, he dedicates the i whole to his "unfortunate country." That may be fun, it may be i politics, it may be even a contributton to the decade's economic I lollies. The Brain Trust in its most academic mood never produc-1 ;ed anything less realistic. Mr. Mencken has lived long enough to . have seen his adored dollar backI ed by 25 8/10 grains of gold fluctui ate in its power to buy turkey and cranberries over a 200 per cent range. He has known many good reporters who considered themselves well paid with 35 of these ! sacrosanct dollars a week, but struggling to keep alive a few years ; later with 75 of he same allegedly | stable dollars for the same amount of work performed. To the aver age reader of the Evening Sun and of Editor & Publisher, the baloney dollar looks and smells the same and buys as much food and shelt- ' er as the "honest" dollar procured i for him before 1933—maybe a bit more in spots. To the people with , I money moving around the world, [ the gold content of the dollar is i significant, and their silence is ex-' cellent evidence that the “baloney" . dollar is working for them as hard as the old dollar did. Promoting distrust of the nations money is the only effect poss--1 ible from the general use of Mr Mencken's "baloney" symbol. As an economic idea it belongs in the heap of discards with the commodity dollar and the Cornell pipedreams. Probably we don't know any more about money than Mr. : Mencken does, but with several | million other specimens of his beloved homo boobiens americanus.

Paris was represented as being optimistic. Geneva, however, seemed to feel that the French-British peace talks starting tomorrow would fail, while in Rome it was said Mussolini already had decided to reject any offer they make. Hence, predictions are not in order, but by Monday it should be clear whether an agreement still is possible, or the league will take j a step nearer to a European war i ny applying the oil embargo.
