DIVEILY HILLS, Calif, April 37 Governments are having the trouble now that individuals havs been having for arte years, that Is trying to And out the actual value of what they have. You don't know the value of your land, your stocks, year house, or. anything. Now Englaaf and America and Francs have met to find out what the dollar la worth, and what the pound sterling la worth. Everything la Jumping aa aat down now like an international hanker at a senatorial investigation.

District By ELMER PICKNEY There are those who asseverate that if Mrs. New McLean succeeds in selling the hoodoo Hope diamond and keeping her newspaper, it would only further prove her hard luck.

But they're as wrong as eating soup witH a left handed fork or a girl who depends on the Sunday sporu law. Olrli should be warned that the law applies to 8unday sports only between 3 and 6 p. m. If they go out with any Sunday sporu in the evening hours, they've got to look out for themselves. No, Jndeed, you can't make me believe that Mrs.

McLean is foolish to give up that stone for a newspaper. After all, how much does one stone, no matter how big, amount tor With a newspaper, Mrs. McLean ean be sure' there would be any number of stones thrown at her in lest than no time. Not that it will be easy for her to find a customer for that rock. In fact, ltll be as tough as finding an April day in April.

What Is so rare as a day in June, one of the greatest poets whore name slips my memory, once asked? The answer is a day In April. Rare? Boy, ime of, the days have been raw. They've been windier than a candidate and colder than a mother in law's kiss. But maybe It'll be different when we get the inflation 1 bill passed and happy days are here again. April used to be a month of showers.

But with times as they are, there Iren't so many brides, and consequently not so many showers The trouble with Mrs. Mclean is that she waited too long before decided to sell that stone. It's a hefty piece, you know. It weighs 44 'carrots, la the slse of an Idaho potato, and has a ton of onions beat when It comes to finding it In the dark. Whenever Ned went out nights with it, approaching 'autos used to dim for her.

But now that there are no more bootleggers in these the United States of Ale at three point two, who in the world has that much Jack to spend on a trinket? This shows that a stitch In time saves nine and he who hestitates get honked by all the cars behind him. The moral of Mrs. McLean's sad plight should be plain to every ambitious young Journalist.

If you want to be a newspaper man or woman, never, oh never have a 1250,000 stone on your hands. Or around your neck. Or on your chest. This moral has never been violated by Elmer Pickney and look where he is now. 'He's over to the hockshop trying to get his winter benny out lor the spring.

Strong Move to Pay Bonus With Inflated Money Checks Passage GLASS, M'ADOO BOLT Former Treasury Heads Oppose Giving President Power to Alter Ratio i WASHINGTON," April 27 The administration's controlled inflation project became ensnarled in a vigor ous senate dispute over the soldiers', bonus tonight after the chamber had voted to give President Roosevelt power td devaluate the dollar.

So threatening was the oro bonu sentiment that Democratic leaders abandoned plans a vote tonight on that Issue, and on the inflation program as a whole, and adjourned tomake a survey of how the ballots will be cast. Support was attracted to the bonus project offered as an amendment to the inflation legislation by Senator Robinson (R by a modification under' which payment of the bonus would be made discretionary with the President, rather than man datory. Approval of the devaluation claus. under which Mr. Roosevelt would be authorised to reduce the dollar's told content by as much as 50 percent, climaxed a long and bitter fieht in which regular Republicans led bv Senator Reed sought to eliminate the section.

Glass Opposes Roosevelt Just beofre the vote. Senator Glass, of Virginia, a former Democratic secretary of the treasury, arose to take issue with the inflation legislation, expressing regret that he thus should oppose the President, by say ing: "I'm simply maintaining the atti tude of my earnest convictions on public questions, which is more im portant to me than party or A decision to the amoudt of war debt payments to be accepted in silver under tho legislation was reached late in the day by Democratic leaders, who agreed to raise the sum from 100,00,00 to 9200.000,000. The Republican Senator Robinson. of Indiana, introduced his bonus payment as a rlder to the inflation legislation, which, in turn is pending as a rider to the administration farm re lief bill. He accepted the modification at the suggestion of Senator Long but with a realization that as it was, making payment mandatory, his proposal had no prospect of passage.

As it now stands. President Roosevelt, under the amendment, could pay off the bonus with the new currency issue authorized by the amendment or not, as he sees fit. After the senate adjourned.
