A little currency inflation, as Cyrus H. K. Curtis suggested recently, In one of his newspapers, Is sometimes useful. “Poor England,” sliding down from a gold basis, automatically inflates her currency. A pound worth less means more pounds; and more pounds, until inflation goes too far, mean more cheerfulness. A miracle from the deep comes to encourage those that love and respect courageous men. Two bruve German flyers, Willy Body and Christian Jo hansson, and their Portuguese com panion, Fernando Costa Viega, have been found after clinging to thc float ing wreck of their airplane for 148 hours. Shooting of gangsters by gangsters continues and would make an interest ing udded chapter for Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid as a Factor in Evolu tion."

Our ancestors have seen knives and their work for so many hundreds of generations that we all dread them. Bullets are new and we hardly believe In them. England withdraws temporarily from the gold standard, and Canada, her stalwart sou, announces a Canadian dollar backed wllh gold the same as the United States dollar.
