All this talk about inflation is, how-
ever, accomplishing some real good
of tasting importance. During World
War the Administration at Wash-
i irgton was friendly to business. Pricas
were allowed. to take their natural
course and go up. As a result, they
went too bigh and there was a tre-
mendous decline in 1921. This sud-
den price decline ruined a great many
people. Now with an Administraticn
: at Washington which is unfriendly to
business these prices are being kept
down. This, however, should avoid
serious drop and deflation after the
war is over. *

Real Estate and Inflation
WASHINGTON, D. C. June 25. —
There seems to be as much misunder-
standing about inflation as there is
about rubber and gasoline. Even the
Washington. Bureaus appear to issue
contradictory statements. It may be
that these Depts, get their tenses
mixed up, referring to .the present or
past rather than the future. There-
fore, let me first straighten eaders
out on this subject.
Will We Have Inflation?
Wie most certainly will have in-
flation. It if doesn't come during
the war, it will come after the war.
Inflation is like a stream of water,
you can’t dam it up forever. Building
a dam does not destroy the water in
the stream. The dam holds back the
water for only a limited time and then
the water flows over it. The work
of Leon Henderson, for whom I have
great respect, is preventing infla-
tion at the present time; but he ia

University Honor Rgll
, AUSTIN, Texas, une 25. — Spring
fever was no worry for 8U Univer-
sity of Texas students who kept at
their books enough to be listed on
the honor roll of the College of
Arts and Sciences, recently announc-
ed by Dean H. T. Farlin.
The honor roll includes the names
of1 about one-tenth of the enrollment
of the college—4518 during the sec-
ond semester. Upperclasemen are re-
quired to maintain a slightly higher
average than freshmen in order to
be listed ’
Those making the honor roll from
Grimes County were: Lucille Harrison
of Bedias and George Wesley Swanson
of this city.
tion,—money inflation, credit infla-
tion, commodity inflation, etc., etc.
Most of these forms are gradual and
do, not make or break people. The
real dangerous form Of inflation is
when people get panicky as to the
value of their paper money. Then, like
a flock of brazy sheep, they suddenly
turn to spending this money and put-
ting it into real things. This is the
inflation which may come after. the
war. It it a matter of psychology and
cannot be headed off by laws or price
fixing or ralioning or anything else
except faith in God and’our coun-
try.
When people lose confidence in the
dollar and look about for real things,
they all turn first to good furniture,
wearing apparel, new autos, books,
rugs, etc. People with money to in-
vest turn to common stocks of com-
panies with natural resources, good
labor relations and whose stocks are
selling at prices below their "invested
capital value.” The middle-class group
will put their money into good real-es-
tate. If you do not own a. home, you
had better buy one. If you ovn a
home with a mortgage, you should

Rogers explained that before the
social securtiy field office sends the
application for benefits to Washing-
ton, it must have certain kinds of
proof. For instance, the law does
not provide for payment of monthly
retirement benefits to a worker until
he reaches 65 years of age. TThere-
fore," Rogers continued, "It is ne-
cessary for the Social Security Board
to have proof that the worker is that
old before it can be sure he is en-
titled under the law. .
“Workers and members of their
families can get their benefits more
quickly if. they will obtain in ad-
vance the proofs that will be need-
ed when they are ready to apply for
benetita. For instance, when a work-
er is nearing age 85, he knows he trill
need to have some proof of hU date
of birth. It may take some time to

At Axis Transports
CAIRO, June' 25. — The main
weight of Marshal Rommel’s Axis ar-
mored columns was moving ponder-
ously south tonight for a massive at-
tempt to outflank and encircle the
British 8th Army’s positions atop
the Egyptian border encampment.
Bombers and fighter-bombers ' of
both the R. A. F. and the Royal South
African air force skimmed the baked
floor of the desert to slash repeated-
ly at the increasing enemy transport,
Battered light tanks and armored cars
of the British defenders stabbed west-
ward to engage the Gelman ad-
vance guard west of Sal im in a ser-
ies of brief and bitte: engagements.
In this northern sone, Garmaa ar-
tilery also sent shells scmeaming
over the British lines.
But this bombardment, and the ar-
mored clashes which flickered and
flared west of Salum, served only as
a screen for the heavy movement of
German troop lorries southward.
The position was one of final pre-
paration on both sides for the initial
battle of Egypt itseif. The British
were rushing fresh troops and equip-
ment into their frontier sone in * su-
preme attempt to replace the men and
machines lost at Tobruk; Rommel
was getting into position for a flank-
ing attack which may sweep through
Fort Maddalena, 60 miles south west
or Salum and Bir El Shegga, 20 miles
deeper in the desert.
