QUESTIONS D ANSWERS ABOUT THE NEW DOLLAR Washington, Jan. 31.?Questions and answers .explaining the new monetary Situation follow: Q. What does a 59-cent dollar mean' to the average citizen? A. Nothing directly. The dollar bill in your pocket hasn't shrunk In size, and It will still buy groceries priced at 100 cents. The Indirect result desired by the government is,' to be sure, to raise the price of com modities, and that may mean to raise the price of groceries. But by that time, if the money policy does what is predicted by Its sponsors the wage earner will have more dol lars to spend. Q. Why was the figure 59.6 cents selected by the government as the new dollar price in terms of the; old gold price? A. That, President Roosevelt ex plained today. Is a matter of "high er mathematics." The exact figure 'was unimportant, within a range of a few miles; the object was to get the dollar slightly, but not far be low 60 cent?. - But the government decided it might as well have a jnd figure for the purchase of gold selected $35 an ounce as the ice. The amount of gold in the dollar, 15.23 grains nine-tenths was calculated from the $35 brice. It Is the amount of gold in the dollar which regulates its value, and 15.23 grains of gold at $35 an ounce is worth 59.06 and a fraction cents. I Q. Is the dollar now stabilized at 59.06 cents? A. One official described the sit uation as "a modified return to the international gold standard." The notice, In relation to gold content, but whether the same level can be maintained In foreign exchange quotations depends on how success fully the new stabilization fund op erates. The President has the power to change the gold content of the dollar or the price of gold at any time, but must keep it.between 50 and 60 per cent of its old statutory content of 25.8 grains' nine-tenths fine. . . Q. Can gold circulate Tts money j In this country now? A. Gold coins may be melted into bullion and kept by the treas ury In bars, probably worth about $5,000 each, for use In settling In-! ternational balances and as a cur-1 rency reserve. A new type of cur rency will be Issued. The money-will be gold certificates, but will not carry an unqualified promise of re demption in gold. Gold jewelry or gold plate may be owned by indi- j vlduals. but monetary gold, except old coins having a collector's value, is illegal. Q. Does the United, States now have a "commodity dollar" or a "rubber dollar?" A. Not at all. The President still Is Interested in the ultimate goal of a "managed cunency" to be reg ulated so' thai \ the purchasing power of the dollarxioes not change.

CLARA'S BEAUTY SHOPPE *4 ? effect does the new pro gram hare on the Federal Reserve banks? A It reduces their "financial im portance somewhat, because It gives the stabilization fund director power to Influence credit and bond market conditions, whereas hereto-' fore that has been a function of the banks. The reserve system will continue, however, to perform all functions It has hitherto engaged in, except that international gold operations will be conducted only err treasury orders. Q. Does the program put Into effect Involve the silver dollar? j A. No. Its weight remains un changed. * THOUGHTS FOR THE PRESENT By A. & O'Briant The time has come I believe for those of us who respect and cher ish democracy to pay more atten tion to It. as it Is an Individual re-' sponsibility. And It rests as a divine demoniac burden especially upon authors and leaders all over our na tion. This responsibility is to be measured only by the importance of the value at stake. Human beings have always done so many stupid things under the most righteous terms that it is very difficult for us reallv to use our intelligence,about anything. We know already symp toms that we are exposed to a contagion of deadly germs. I sus pect poverty is at the top when we diagnose the disbursement of ac tuality; I suspect also that we should not be perfect even if we were dis gustingly rich which is not likely. Our Interest is fixed on what we are building Individually and as a peo ple. We want the innermost facts . as to that. Since we are construct ing out of the wrecks of yesterday a wholly new time and a new philo sophy of government, it does not seem to me the tempo of degrada tion reflects the change. Perhaps we must have a few Who cheat the1 poor and steal the bounty, who rob the widows and orphans of their I share. Yet people capable of self: government In a simple economic1 order may not have the wisdom and the character to govern themselves: in a new and- complex skeptical age. I venture to suggest all of us here present were born within the great est age that has existed since the world began. Yet what has be come of the time of prejudices and oftentimes the viciousness which re tard a poor man's development. Heap heavier, still, your rules for closer still the gate; but I yield all: not up unto your cruel hate. A few have too much, more than they need. The millions have too little and worry through life. We have es caped the bear fighting age. But not the complex mephtic money hog. I do not mean to boast of blunders but aside from conjectural com plaints of demostic affairs, the line has been drawn' at unjustifiable ex ploitations and we must continue to draw it. Yet men are apt to for get the benefactor while they riot on the benefit menaced by greed uni aue in bunkerism or impecUnibsitv. Which is ideographically sJmbolic atrocious ingratefulness. Such peo ple have endeavored to teach others to syllogize or to frame arguments and refute them without real know ledge. They are of the, syboritical parsllonlmity class. Thoee of the pint size wonder what it is all about. The subject is delicious but seemingly it Is also nroblematical. It Is Is probably safe to assume that maternal affection Is generally stronger than want but weaker than shame. BUt I .would feature Ideographic symbolic atio cious ungratefulness as a deeper dye than the perjury of juries. There Is fault b no other fault by which men appear so formally to renounce the pro tection of God". Genius It not to be had for the asking. It lives men tally as gvpsies live physically. What went ye out Into the wilder ness to see. a reed shaken with the wind? ? ?"* ~ My name Is known from coast to coast. In a million homes 'tis heard; Then disillusioned Incognito. Prom what feather Is your bird; My home life interrogater Is due to him the like of him and this. But the time Is far distant When Ignorance is bliss. Tuncation of knowledge, Was never my creed; Learn about foremen from me. Because I know vour need; So bloom on sweet roses. I Imagine I am a great sage. - - - id I was born into the world and It's glory. You being serene or sedate In my age. A mistaken Idea Is abroad In the land that there Is something noble about producing things that no one wants badly enough to pay for. Is righteousness reserved to those who share In a special privilege and are loathe to give It up? When the truth Is all told it would almost put Satan to shame. Yet we might as sume that It Is useless to put more knowledge into the correlative sub ject than the corivals can use when we alreadv have more than they know what to do with. In corrobor-i atlng this statement, there went to sleep the other day back In Old I Shake Rag one of the real patriots! of peace. He never shouldered a' giDl: he never served in the armed force of his nation; and he never held a public office He was Just a plain man. He went his own way and worked out his own problems This man sent out from his that Shake-Rag home a few bits of phil osophy that was- actually worth while. And then to say, "Ho Re sults Accomplished" Is an ambigu ous statement. Its the pig that gets caught under the gate that squeals the loudkst i lovely Everything was lovely until some one let the gate down on his carlvals Just when they thought they were getting away big. I am not concerned about them, though. I am deeply concerned about the people who In .their dis tress are following their leadership Neither am I particularly disturbed by the personal abu^e coming from incognitos whp have long made dls oord the ntetg of a good livelihood. Their administrations honestly wel comes intelligent criticism from within or without It seems a tragic thing however that men apparent the fact that the public, the J at large, have been exploited again and again under the guise of popu-: lar movements to anything else you might call it, at the hands of clever and unscrupulous men. Movements! that have been perfectly sincere,! honest and upright in themselves.' have by the careful manipulations of these unscrupulous men often; been turned in directly opposite di rections to that in which they were originally intended to motivate. So we have the tragedies todays of some of the great organizations originally conceived-for the uplift and benefit of humanity literally becoming ma-, chines and engines of destruction by which humanity is dragged down. Such as supervisors demanding and collecting money of common la bor. And- tending C.WA laborers off the project to execute the du ties of a domestic servant. Also foremen recommending and getting the most prominent men financially enstated on the payroll of C.W.A. projects. In Loving* Memory Of Our Dear Mother After a long life filled with lov ing service to God and her fellow creatures, the sweet spirit of dear mother, Mrs. Martha Katherlne Neal entered her eternal home In Heaven, January 24. at 6:00 P. M. Our precious- one was born No vember 17, 1885, making her pil grimage here 79 years, 2 months and 8 days. She was the daughter of the late Joseph us and Jane Lockett Younger, and was reared near Roxboro, N.C. In early girlhood she profressed faith in Christ and joined Mill Creek Missionary Baptist church, later moving her membership to Roxboro Missionary Baptist church. In November 1886 she was mar ried to Gabriel Davie Neal, Who preceded her to that Better Land about 17 years ago. After her marriage she moved her mem-1 bership to Bethel Hill Missionary Baptist church where she remain-1 ed until she was, called to her re ward. i She died as she had lived, trust-, ing in the strength" and sure prom ises of God. Her life among us ex-' emplified those christian virtues of; faithfulness, love, hopefulness- and humility whch were a benediction upen all with whom she came In contact. Her humility and good of 1 be honored and One golden word summed up her life and character. That word is love. To know her was to love her. She was not sentimental or effusive She wag plain in manner. But the dominant note in her life was love, divine love joyfully received and passed on to others. For many years the Was in deli cate health which prevented her go ing around much. One of her great est regrets was she was not able to attend, church regular, yet her Sav iour's cause was first in her life, and in her home she quietly served! her Master. The Bible was her dally companion. During her iast illness she talked much about her great faith in God and His word. Death had no sting for her. May we feel grateful to our Heav enly Father for dear mother's life, her Influence and the example of her applied Christianity. Her satis faction was in humble consecrated service, not in applause or recog nition. She exemplified in her daily life the prophet Micah's definition when he says (Micah 6:8) "What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly and to love mercy and to work humbly with thy Lord"? Her daily life and conversation were public recognition of these divine attributes. She recognized the first great lesson in the christian life? to be good and true in all life's activities. Her influence and her voice was ever on the side of righteousness. We deeply feel dear mother's pass ing is her gain while it is our loss. Tis so hard to realize she is with us no more. Her smiling face and gen'Ie voce we miss so much. Her going brings to us many heart aches. Still God bids us look up through our tears and say "Thy will be done." We must bow in humble submission to the will of a loving Father, knowing that all things work together for good to those that love the Lord. ? She leaves to mourn their loss one daughter, Mrs. S. R. Wade of Roxboro, one son, Spurgeon M. Neal, and two step-daughters, Mrs. W. R. Hayes and Mrs. E. P. Jones of Woodsdale. one little grandson, S. R.

He is at rest and left th? comforting words for each one of you to meet me in heaven. How we miss him and his sweet smlflng face with the love of Christ in his heart. Tonight heaven Is made rich with him. We all loved him but God loved him best. I am think ing what a sweet meeting it will be for us to meet him at rest for to night he has been taken away from us and said he was ready to go and now he is safe in the arms of Jesus in the land where all Is bright. Now my dear father have left me in this sad world to roam. He has gone to live with Jesus. We would say to mother and his loved ones, you all have been faithful to me, and he said God would reward you all. We are looking forward to the time that we will meet you and see your sweet smiling face and gentle voice. We must ask Jesus to halp us b?r our burdens.
