the war. Dell's proposal was said to be

Apparently under the belief that tho

applied for advances to aid them in
promoting new enterprises, which thev
claim will contribute to the wars
success.

full information concerning cases
which appeared meritorious. Applicants
who did not present sufficient claims n
Justify immediate nsideration will he
told to examine their cases in the lioht
of the War Finance Corporation act. and
to refile them if further evidence can
be presented
A few cases seem urgent and loans
may be made on them within the next
two weeks. Some of these are from
concerns which have been unable to
obtain from banks loans with which to
expand plants making war materials.

DR.. M. D. Hardin, of Chicago, just home

Roosevelt, son of the former President.

Roosevelt's legs and one arm are prac

something that was laughable, and that
indicates the spirit of the American

AS he lay on his cot, he recognized
man who entered as his old Latin
teacher in his preparatory school DAYS.
1t happened that there was Latin rule
which those days Roosevelt could not

Francis H. Sisson. vice president of

Is to discharge the presidents as en-
ployes of the railways and then re-
employ them as operating executives
Tor the government. 1t does not seem
TO me possible to dispense with their
services altogether.
1T seems to me that it would he a
great mistake seriously to curtail tho
salaries of the railway presidents If
they are reemployed for they are the
only ones IN the country equipped for

would be relatively insignificant. 1t
