STRONG CRITICISM

Washington, April 11.-Charging that the industrial board had initiated an industrial policy which was not set up by the government, Director General Hines, in his statement tonight not only criticized the boards 'insistence" that the railroad administration buy at the agreed prices, but also said that the board had even proposed the prices as being prices below which the general public ought not to expect to buy dur ing the rest of this calendar year."
 MT. Peek says that the government has set up an industrial policy with one hand and torn it down with the other" said Mir. Hines The fact is, however, that the industrial policy which has been interfered with is one which was not set up by the govern ment, but appears through some mis- conception to have been initiated by the industrial board itself.
 The policy which was authorized by the government was the policy of es- tabliShing a committee which would en- deavor to bring government purchas- ing agencies including the railroad | administration. and producers of cer- | ain commodities together, by voluntary | action, on reduced prices at which | the government purchasing agencies. including the railroad administration, | would be justified in buying freely. | ! carry out this specific policy entered, | despite the railroad administration s notification that 1t would not agree to buy at the prices proposed, upon a l very different policy of fixing prices | with a virtual insstence that the rail- road administration must buy at those | prices regardless of it's Judgment. His
 cause of chagrin at the present time | is that the policy thus set up without | government authority is not supported | by the railroad administration as to 1 steel prices when the railroad admins
 tration is convinced that those prices | are excessive"
 The director general said that MT. l Peeks alarm that the steel interests of the country might be subjected to the | monopolistic buying power of the rail road administration was unwarranted. "One of the gravest causes of con l cern to the people of this county for many years" said MT. Hines "has been the persistent suspicion that the coun- try was subjected to the menace of a monopolistic selling power on the part of the steel interests and therefore do not share MT. Peek's alarm that the
 railroad administrators purchasing power of steel will be prejudicial to the
 public interest.

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
In their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can Just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring ito improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of flavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in a great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus a dash Of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

Daphne had watched. Leila's little
scene with as much confusion as the
other two Hips. She felt normal
an to woman, but no more than a
healthy amount, for she liked Leila
and she was grateful to Leila for be-
! ing able to rescue her father and for
being willing to. 1t was a fine thing
for Leila to strip herself of her last
splendoI to help an old father-in-law
| pay the interest on mortgage on
house in another town. Daphne gave
Leila full need of applause for that.
What embitter. Daphne was that
1t had to be Leila and not herself that
saved her father, and that Leila had
to do the deed by spending things she
had not paid for herself-ornaments
gewgaws, gifts.
Leila had collected from life perhaps
three thousand dollars worth of jew
els and Daphne had collected fifty
dollar check, framed-and that check
was in lieu of work. AS soon as she
remembered that check she ran up to
her room and took it down from the
wall, ripped off the back of the frame
and removed the check from the mat.
She studied it and thought, "The
first money and the last" Then a
vigor and determination clenched all
her muscles in kind of lockjaw. She
came out of the spasm in tremor of
hysterical faith. She spoke her
thought aloud in fury: SIT sha'n't be
the last, it sha'n't, it sha'n't, by gOlly!"
The feeblepess of the expletive dis
gusted her. She tried to be powerful
by way of powerful language. Before
she knew it she ripped out a resOund-
ing oath that would have pleased good

That was doubly false. She had
said something. In the slang of the
hour she had "said something" She
had "said an earful," also heartful.
Mrs. Chivvis supposed that what she
mad heard was some voice from the
street. and went back along the hall,
as she walked.
