HAKCU 24, Was

By FRANK P. STOCKUKIDGE
REFRESHMENT
In my New England boyhood a sigr
frequently seen on country tavern:
was "Refreshmen for Man anc
Beast." You could feed your horse:
and yourself at the same time. Horse:
have given place to the automobile
and the filling station takes the p'nee
of the wagon shed, while the food
obtainable along the highways varies
as a rule, from bad to worse.
Ask any motor tourist how many
places he found to eat where the food
t.as really palatable. He'll remember
them all; it is no tax on the memWith
everything else becoming
L .-inndarclizod, the movement to stand^
ardize roadside food stations so that
the motorist can be sure, before try
"<g nis lucK, ol what he is going
to get, was bound to come. One of
the big oil companies, operating its
own gasoline filling stations, has made
a deal with a large restaurant organization
which operates a chain of eating
places in many parts of the country.
Light lunches of good quality
and real coffee are to be served at
the filling stations. I can think of
nofTiing better calculated to encourage
motor touring.
GOLD
With their money depreciated and
their nation off the gold standard, the
people of England are showing their
patriotism by turning in their gold
jeweli v and ornaments to be melted
up for money. One noble duke gave
up his coronet, Worth $50,000 in coin
but many times that in sentimental
association.
Of course, the people who are doing
this get the bullion value of their
gold in the form of bank notes, but
it strengthens their nation's financial
position because it puts the gold
where it can be weighed and counted
as a basis of currency, which is
impossible when it is in private
I hands.
Gold is useless except as a basis of
money. The debate on the Glass-Steigall
hill, just enacted, disclosed the
fact that only a part of America's
gold reserve, the largest in the world,
was available for monetary purposes,
owing to a defect in the original Federal
Reserve law. The new law remedies
that defect, and we won't have
I" give up lillt coronets, yet awhile.
S to Ifi'Pn -our. I'nvmnfy i>sa?i?-s np ; ill
suiiieient volume lor business needs.
silver
Tail! about restoring silver to its
place as a basis of money is being
heard everywhere. The latest move
in this direction is the introduction
in Congress by "eprcsentat ive Sorncrs
of Brooklyn of a resolution for
an international conference on stiver.
I tun not sure that I agree with
my friend Rene Leon, regarded as
the foremost authority on silver, that
the demonetization of silver by the
British government in India in 1926
is at the bottom of all of the world's
present economic trouble, but I do believe
that the legalization of silver,
up to a reasonable percentage of gold,
as a basis for currency, would help
to stabilize finance and business.
At any rate, as I have often said,
silver is something interesting to
watch.
t DUCKS
It looks as if the Twentieth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States would be one which would
change the date, of Presidential inaugurations
and eliminate "lame
ducks" from Congress. As things are
now, we elect a new Presdont and
Congress in November, buy theiT
term of office does not begin until
March 4 the next year. In the meantime,
the old Congress holds a set
- aion in _ which defeated members.
known as "lame ducks," still sit.
This is a hangover from the old
stage coach, horseback days of slow
travel. It used to take three or four
months to get to Washington. Both
houses of Congress have agreed to
submit a constitutional amendment
making January 8 the date for Congress
to meet with only the newlyelected
members sitting, and the new
President to take office on January
zj instead 01 on raorcn -i.
ITita probably cannot become effective
before 1936, as i< is not likely
enough states mil ratify it to put it
into force for 1932.
AMERICA
While the "Star-Spangled Banner"
is the official national anthem of the
United States, many more people can
sing "America," the familiar song
'
