TRADE BAN Is LIFTED.
No Limit on Exports to Allied and
Neutral Countries.

Commodities in almost unlimited
quantities may now be exported to
Great Britain, France, Italy, Japan
and other allied countries. But the
blockade against Germany still is
maintained and will not be relaxed,
at least until peace is officially estab-
lished. This announcement was made
by the War Trade Board Yesterday,
and the new rules will become efrec-
tive Monday.
Shipments soon will be made to
neutral countries, such as Norway,
Sweden, Holland, Switzerland, Spain
and Central and South America. The
board predicted ample tonnage for
these trade routes within a brief
period.

TOday's Duty

Nobody really believes in the happy
go=lucky maxim of letting each day take
care of itself. Yet so many practice it in
their neglect of thought for the future.
Really none of us has any right to
leave the future unprovided for. It's
duty of today to make some substantial
provision for tomorrow. If you never
need it-so much the better. But think
of the peace of mind in knowing that no
matter what overtakes you, safely tucked
away in Savings Account there's plenty
of money to meet the emergency.
Now's good time to think seriously
on this subject of saving. Don't look
upon it as penalty on the present-but
rather as an investment for the future
because really it is an investment-for
while you have your money on deposit
in our Savings Department it'll be earn
ing interest-at PER CENT.
Then when the time comes and you
need it for any purpose whatsoever-you
won't have to borrow-nor go without
Just draw your check.
Start right now. No matter how
small the beginning-itI soon grow to
wonderful bigness. Let's talk it over
soon.

me that. with her capacity for love,

some MAJ to whom she can give her

1t is, ! know, a. temptation to be-

interesting to ourselves than we
should be otherwise. Once we be-
come convinced Of this, we can play
before our own mirrer, if nowhere
else, the role. of unhappy heroine.
Both the happy married woman
and the disappointed unmarried one
incline to this belief that there can
be but one love in lifetime. But
they speak only from their own eX-
perience, which has held but one full
sized love. eHow can they speak Tor
all the other women of the aworld
for the women who have large
heartedly loved twice, or even-mor,e,
and who glory i'll it?
And there are cases. / believe,
where normal human love lras
been touched by the magic wand OF
imagination. There, | think, is the
secret of the whole matter. It's the
highly imaginative woman whose
one great love lasts undimmed to
the day of her death. 1t is the
imaginative woman in whom a love
of this sort comes to CLEAN like. a
golden thread winding through the
plain-cblored tapestry of life that
is actually filled with calmly con-
tented marriage and happy mother
hood.
In the heart and mind of an im-
aginative woman her one great love
becomes so rarehed and transformed
that it doesn't really conflict with
any other human emotion
