and would be very grateful for some
advice from you. 1 am writing you
this letter in hopes that you can
help me. am deeply in love with
a young man who is four, years my
senior. He seems to like me very
much. and we are the best OF
friends. He has been down quite
frequent to see me, but lately
have not seen very much of him.
Whether or not he likes another girl
better than me is not for me to de-
eide or even to try to. Do you think
/ did wrong in showing him that
cared for him? MARY JANE.
n 6ARY JANE: Showing him that
lV you cared for him may have been
a mistake. but it depends upon
how much you showed It. A wise man
/ know. says that men Will always be
hunters. and that they will always want
to run down their game. and that the

would spoil the fun OF hunting. Do you
see what he means?

pleasant. even to those whom you do

WASHINGTON, Oct Is. The War
Finance Corporation up to October
had. authorized s43.2o2.592 in loans. Of
which st0.540.500 went TO war businesses
without the medium OF banks. although
the act under which the corporation
operates specifies that this method shall
be applied only "ln exceptional cases"
This situation. disclosed to-day in re-
port OF the corporation to Congress. ex-
plains why Secretary MeAdoo and d.
rectors OF the corporation have been
considering asking amendment OF the
act to provide that the usual method OF
making advances shall be direct to In
dustries and tho exceptional method
through banks.
The corporation up TO october had
advanced through banks s2.il2.000. All
loans we're secured by collateral which
aggregated s64.033.000. OF which only
$780, coo was In Liberty bonds.
Actual payments under the advances
authorized amounted to s24.1sS,00o,
with the balance subject to draft.
The corporation has declined to mako
public the names OF interests to whom
advances were made. acting on the as
sumption that its relations with borrow
ers were confidential. Interest rates
charged were not disclosed. although It
is known a number Of loans were made
at per cent. TIE law provides that
the rate on loans direct to war enter
prLses shall be at least per cent higher
than prevailing rates for discount OF

discount rates are ~ per cent. in all

Shortage OF Waists.

Though a scare was recently thrown
into the waist industry by reports that
there were more waists on hand than
could be conveniently got rid OF. in
vestigation is said to have shown that a
contrary condition exists. and that no
more waists have been manufactured
than can be easily disposed of. This was
brought out at a meeting OF waist manu-
facturers held under the auspices Of the
United Waist League OF America The
meeting was attended by practically
every manufacturer OF waists in this
city, and many came from out OF town.
1t developed that the waist manufac-
turera have followed closely the recon-
mendations of the War Industries Board
for conservation OF raw materials, and
this has led to an unusually small num-
Der Of waists being manufactured. Con-
sequently there Is no likelihood OF large
numbers OF waists being thrown on the
market In Job lots.
