Professor.
Blair Predicts Cool
Temperature and Rain
Continued cool accompanied by
more ram was tne weather tore-
cast made by Thomas A. Blair,
university meteorologist. A read
ing taken at noon Thursday
showed that approximately 47 hun
dredths of an inch of rain fell in
Lincoln Thursday morning. Ac
cording to Mr. Blair, a good
amount of rain fell all over the
state of Nebraska, especially in
the southwest portion of the state
where it was most neeaea.
Mr. John Smith, ordinary citizen
of the United States, will not be
affected by the removal of the
sold standard in th nations cur

"The prices of commodities soar

try going off the gold standard,"
declared Mr. Arndt. "ine govern
ment merely stopped the artificial
control of the dollar."
The country has been off the
gold standard since the bank mor
atorium declared by President
Roosevelt early in March, and has
merely attempted to artificially
control its value on the foreign ex
change, was the opinion of Profes
sor Arndt.
"The gold standard, long a myth
in financial circles, might well be
thrown out completely, since the
only purpose it performs is to sta
bilize the value of the dollar on the
foreign exchange. Its effect upon
the stability of domestic prices is
practically a nonenity," said Pro
fessor Arndt in explaining the
function of the gold standard.
