TALK TO VENUS, SAYS SAVAFJT Mars Is Dead; Try the Planet of Love, Is the Advice of. a Prominent Swedish Astronomer. Stockholm. The planet Mars, an old dying; world, is receiving altogether to much attention from earthly scientists these da..s and nights, while the up-and v'omlng yung planet Venus is just wailing for a chance to know us hetter. This Is the conclusion of I'rofifsor Svante Arrhenlus, N.bet prize winner and one of Europe's foremost scientists and astronomers, who lectured here on the pnspect of wheedling from the heavens tin secrets of some" of our celestial neighbors. and especially Mars, when that planet swings Into closest proximity to the earth two years hence. If scientists ami hm-distance radio fans really want to communicate with some celestial neighhr. Professor Arrhenins said, they will not lind Mars very cordial, for the hl fellow Is dead. He described as "fantastic" the belief that so-called canals observed n the planet wen the work of engineers ami attributed them to earthquake fissures. Venus, on the other hand, offers potential poss ihilities .to the patient astronomer. Professor- Arrhenlus de clared. At the expiration of a billion years he thought a nourishing clony of Intelligent beings might be disrovcred on the bright little plam-t. "When the earth Is extinguished." he eoncluded, "it will be Vehus. pieen of the heavens that will tak over the role as carrier of cult tire."

EUROPE REDEEMS PRINTED MONEY
Hoarded Stocks of Gold and Currency Make Appearance as Exchange Falls. MOST VEXED WAR PROBLEM European Countries Flooded With Cheap Money When Emergency of War Compelled Abandonment of Gold Standard. p Washington. Students of International finance and economics are aware of n new development In connection with the depreciated currencies of Kurope. These currencies have constituted one of the most vexed problems brought on by the war. The heed for greatly increased sumB of money, brought about by the war cost, was met by most of the nations by the Issue of paper currency without relation to .cold reserve. In normal times the paper currency of n na- , tion has a definite gold reserve, genStates the treasury and the federal resorVe banks discouraged use of gold and gold certltlcates for general clrcu latlon and accumulated the greatest stock of gold ever assembled In the history of the world. It was withdrawn gradually from circulation and piled up in the treasury and the vaults of the federal reserve banks. An inevitable result of this policy was that during" the war and following the armistice the European printing presses, being definitely cut loose from the retarding element of a gold reserve, kept on running at high speed, turning out reams of paper money which went Into circulation. It is a. natural rule that the increase of the supply p? anyjbing.nnke ttcheaper, nils Is as -true of money as of coal or potatoes. The result was that this plentiful supply of paper money made money cheap. In other wwrds, people who had consumable goods to sell would not exchange them for as small a quantity of the cheap money as of the old-fashioned money, backed by gold. This meant that prices rose. The United States experienced Inflation of currency but of a mjlder character The gold standard was not abandoned here. Prices rose in this country 100 or 200 per cent In some cases, but in Kurope they rose thousands of per cmt. Exchange Hurts Europe. A further result was that European money, being cheaper and more plentiful than American money, foreign exchange became unfavorable to Europe. That Is, European money would not buy as much here as American money would buy In Europe. There Is a law of economics known as (Iresham's law, which lays down the rule that where two kinds of money are in circulation and one is much inferior in value to the other, the more valuable type will retire. People who have it, believing it to be of greater value sind therefore more worth keeping, will hoard it away. This was done to a great extent all over Europe. As the inflation progressed, people who had gold pieces or silver money or paper money of nations In better financial shape than their own hid this wealth away and used the more plentiful cheap paper currency. The extent to which European In flation has gone is notorious. The European news cables every day nay something of the ditlicultles being experiencod as a result of the inflation. The Russian ruble and the (lerman mark are favorite comic picture and vauleville theater jkes because they have become so cheap. It now costs more than inox) rubles to buy a ,meal in Russia. j The Merman mark, which In normal times was worth at what Is called the par of exchange, nearly a quarter In 'American money now is so cheapened that you can buy three marks for an American penny. The Austrian crown has been as cheap as ,'i.Oo) for 51. A $10 bill of American money in Russia would exchange for enough rubles to make what would have been a Russian fortune before the war. Trade, especially International trade, has become very difllcult under these conditions. The problem of re-1 storing these currencies to sm'thlrrg ! Ilk normal value has perplexed European financiers and economists ever involved In so unstable a condition of affairs as that created by the cheap znrrfiiicJeA . .
Development Surprises Experts. Now, the new development which has surprised economists. In connection with this situation Is the discovery that there is a tendency on the part of Europeans to bring about a hitherto undreamed of method of correcting the inflation. Many plans have been suggvsted but none lias been found practical. The new development is one which, if It continues, will tend to correct the situation without the aid of conferences or politicians. The de 'lopment is hailed as a reversal if (iresham's law. The fact seems to be that the people of Russia, Germany and Poland and stmie of the other nations having badly depreciated currencies have becmie so disgusted with the nuisance of dealing with cheap money that they are bring-, ing out of hiding their hoards of gold and other valuable money. A case illustrating this new development recently was reported by a Rrltish trading firm, lids firm sold a bill of goods to a Russian dealer 'at Rostov. Payment was received In a miscellaneous assortment of cash. It consisted of American gold, checks drawn on American hanks, American bills of exchange, English currency and checks, Turkish gold and checks and notes, French currency and checks and Russian gold rubles. Obviously, with the exception of the checks, this payment was made from good money which doubtless had been hoarded since the war. Agents of the American relief administration In Russia have reported similar instances of people bringing out gold ilnd other metal money. The same Is true In Poland, Germany und Austria. Currency Revolution Seen. What economists see In this development Is the possibility of a gradual revolution In European currencies. For instance, the Russians have discovered that their own rubles are nearly useless but that they can get big value for Rrltish or American or other good money. Consequently they will try to get hold of as much of this ( foreign money as possible: In early days In Europe this same phenomenon occurred. Money Issued at the great banking centers of Venice, Antwerp and a few other cities came into general use all over Europe, displacing cheaper native currencies., becatrse; everybody knhyr It was gööd money. A Recently, the United States treasury removed the ban from the free issue of gold and gold certificates. It Is thought possible by economists and students of international finance that a good deal of this gold money, known all over the world as being obtainable, will reach the countries abroad having depreciated currency and become iopular as a valuable medium of exchange. This hns not been possible until the last few days because the treasury and the federal reserve banks would not let gold go Into general circulation, but now It Is possible for forclgn-born Americans to get this money and send It to their relatives abroad. It is recognized that this process of substitution of foreign money for the depreciated native currencies would be slow, but some economists believe that it is a possible but necessarily slow solution to the European emergency problem.
MAKING OVER OLD HOUSES Mills of the Northwest Report an Increasing Demand for Inside Trimmings. I Seattle, Wash. An era of remaking old houses runs across the entire country, according to Northwest lumbermen. Following the' building shortage of late years hns come an appreciation that any house, old or new, has untold possibilities of alterations. Architects have been called upon to produce instances of "before and after" of ramshackle, barn-like structures made over Into charming homes. Old barns have been rebuilt Into studios, sheds and warehouses Into residences of taste. There is an enormous demand on the Northwest planing mills for moldings, trimmings, shingles, sidings. Inside finishing lumber and fancy gralnel fir, hemlock or cedar for cabinet work. Lumbermen declare this demand has come from the alteration wave over the nation, repairing and adding builtin featuresThe subject of training apprentices in the various trades of the government printing office was taken up near the ciose of the fiscal year, and the conclusion was reached that the apprentice system which was discontinued by that office more than thirtyfive years ago ought to be reestablished. A plan for examining and appointing apprentices has been submitted to the civil service commission. It is expected that a suitable examination will be held In the near future and that the training or upprentbs ' thereunder can be started In a short time.
