WAR BONDS SLUMP
LAID TO Tx DODGERS
New York District Attorney Asks
Stock Exchange to Name
Big Buyers.

New York, Jan. 6.-Charging big
"cross-order' sales of Liberty Bonds By
income tax dodgers, transactions in one
day exceeding Si0,000,000, Assistant
District Attorney Brogan in a report TO
the county district attorney has urged the
need OF an inquiry by the Stock Exchange
to ascertain the names of wealthy men
suspected of thus causing the decline IN
the price 0f the war securities sharply
below par.
II is generally conceded" said Mr..
Brogan's report, "hy those who are
familiar with market conditions, that the
low prices obtaining for Liberty Bonds at
the end Of the income tax wear was seized
upon by great many TO sell their bonds,
with a Wow of establishing losses to off
set profits which would have to be shown
in making their income tax reports.
This reached the highest point on
December 50. when more than $4,000, 900
worth Of Liberty Bonds were traded in.
In the last ten days in the year 1918, the
transactions amounted to S25O000,000 in
Liberty Bonds alone Ny Investigations
IN the case show that probably so per
cent of these transactions were made on
cross orders by heavy investors, who gave
their brokers a selling order for anywhere
from 100000 to 81 5000 worth Of
Liberty Bonds, at the same time putting
in buying older to buy the same amount
at the market price, thus establishing a
fictitious loss To report on their income
tax returns The same method undoubted-
ly has been followed by many persons in
the sale Of other securities and other in
vestments. and probably in their own
business enterprises.
If it is permitted to 90 unnoticed, the
government probably will lose millions of
dollars, which it expected to get under the
new income tax law

PINE KNOT PHILOSOPHY
THE ABSENCE CURE.

- EXPERIENCE with your husband
during courtship may have given
~ you the idea that love was all
essential to his well-being, to his very
existence. The days OF the honeymoon
may have fostered the illusion-but it
was none the less an illusion.
When the honeymoon has passed,
mans material nature comes quickly to
the fore. He has an appetite which
must be satisfied, cravings and inclina-
lions which must be pampered He has
masculine tastes which must be graft
fed and masculine inelinations which
must be tolerated. There are masculine
habits which must be overlooked and
masculine moods which must be passed
over. That is. II you desire to maintain
peace In the house.
And sooner or later you will learn
that there is the masculine desire tor
solitude, when even your presence will
lar on the nerves of the boy you have
taken to raise.
When you observe this tendency, fe-
spect it. If possible, go home for .
visit with Ma" 1t is better to let
hubby yearn for your presence through
too frequent absence than to yearn for
your absence through too constant asse-
cisdon.
And don't think this tendency OF the
male TO seek solitude Is an indication
that your husband no longer loves you
Frequently his love is greatest when he
seeks solitude most
There are few things . man viii not
tolerate in the wife who understands
and respects his desire to be alone
There is nothing which makes quicker
for domestic friction than disregard
for mans wishes in this respect
When you see the signa be wise If
you would be happy. Hunt cover, and
stay out of sight until hubby hunts you
up. But don't let him suspect that you
were hiding.
