Big Liberty Bond Sale
By Income Tax Dodgers

New York, Jan. 4.-Charging big
"cross ORDER sales of Liberty Bonds
by income tax dodgers, transactions
in one day exceeding $40,0eO, 900 As
sistant District Attorney Brogan, in
a report to the County District At
torney, today 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 of the war securities
sharply below par.
cit is generally conceded said Mr.
Brogan's report, by those who are
familiar with market conditions, that
the low prices obtaining for Liberty
Bonds at the end of the income tax
many to sell their bonds with view
of establishing losses to offset profits
which would have to be shown in
making their income tax reports.
This reached the highest point on
December 80, when over $40, O0O,-
900 worth of Liberty Bonds were
traded in. In the last 10 days in
the year 1918, the transactions
amounted to s250,OO0,000 IN Liber-
ty Bonds alone. My Investigations in
the case show that probably SO per
cent. of these transactions were
made on cross orders by heavy in
yestors who gave their brokers
selling order for anywhere from
100000 to $1,500.000 worth of
Liberty Bonds, at the same time put
ting in a buying order to buy the
same amount at the market price,
thus establishing fictitious loss to
report on their income tax returns.
The same method has undoubtedly
been followed by many people in the
sale of other securities and other in
vestments and probably in their own
business enterprises.
eff it is permitted to go unnoticed
the government will probably lose
millions. of dollars which it expected
to get under the new income tax
law"
Mr.. Brogan said he proposed to
have conference with the collectors
of internal revenue in New York in
reference to calling upon the Stock
Exchange for a record of buying and
selling orders exceeding 100000
from all Stock Exchange houses.
j. Small investors, he said, at the
same time have been persuaded to
exchange their Liberty Bonds for
worthless stocks. In one Western
State, he said, $20,00O,00O worth OF
Liberty Bonds of the first and second
issues had been wheedled from
gullible investors and would be

the young man who wants to marry
you? Can you have a thoroughly
good time together, even though
you should never go to a play or a
restaurant or a partyR Do you both
like outdoor walks and do you
laugh at the same things, and do
you like some, at least, of the same
books?
If you do, you are pretty safe in
marrying, even though he hasn't
had raise" for a year and you
know you will have to begin house
keeping in two rooms.
l should also advise any young
girl in whom l was personally in
terested not to marry a man who
was unsympathetic toward the
emancipation of women, or who
didn't like children.
Try to form the habit of valuing
the really essential thing in life,
and you'll be more likely to make
the right choice when it comes to
a question of marrying?
Measurements Unimportant
Realize, if you can, that it dosen't
make the slightest difference
whether your betrothed is taller or
shorter than you, or whether he is
older or younger. or whether he is
ugly OF handsome or (trom my
point of view. at least) whether he
is of different nationality.
These are trivial points, and 1
am surprised that so many girls
seem concerned about them.
But, is he a person who can be
real companion. a person with
whom you can hand-in- hand. un-
derstandingly dare the adventure
of life? If you're both strong and
we'll. this is all you need consider
suppose his salary proves to be
not quite enough. Won't you be
willing to help out?
Have I seemed to imply that pow
erty is the inseparable companion
of happiness? That isn't true. of
course. It's quite possible to have
high wage-earning capacity and
still know what love is. But I've
been eager to urge young girls not
to be afraid of simplicity, frugality,
plain living. I've been eager to en-
phasize the fact that money won't
buy happiness. And don't be so
mad as to imagine that happiness
is thing you can do without.
Don't dream that an unhappy mar
riage is tolerable if one has dia-
monds and motor cars. 1t isn't.
Remember what it really means,
from the wise, big-hearted woman's
point of view, to marry we'll, "
And then do your best to achieve
it.

CALLS HIMSELF big
BROTHER"
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
| am twenty-five and considered
good looking. but on account of my
music and other studies, have had
very little time to bother with the
boys. Recently l met an attractive
bachelor about thirty eight, who has
been attentive to me. He told my
sister that he thought the world of
me, but | do not know whether
he is serious or not because every
time he tries to make love to me
(Which l invariably resent) he al
ways says, You must not mind me,
because I'm only your big brother"
Now Miss Fairfax, aside from his
big brother nonsense, this man has
very good qualities. but he has had
several affairs with both married
and single women, and as l am
growing very fond of him, I do not
want to be cast aside.
oUI vIvE.
If this man has the habit of en-
joying, sentimental affairs which
stop just this side both of real love
and of esponsibility-you are, of
course, running a definite risk in.
having a friendship with him. But
If you care for him enough to run.
this risk, the outcome will depend
largely on your personal qualities.
and mere advice can't be of help
to you. l beg you, however, to keep
firm hold of your emotions.

was disappointed, Miss Leighton

LEAR MISS fAlRt An.
l am eighteen and considered cute
and pretty, but am not conceited. l
have lots of boy friends and love
one very dearly. l know he loves
me, too. but now he has left me
without a word and does not speak
to me. Do you think that jealousy
has gotten the better of him. as l
am nice to the other boys, too? Do
you think l should speak first, as l
still care for him?
A CONSTANT READER.
1t has always seemed rather a
foolish policy to hold off and wait
for the other to speak first. Usual
ly in the explanation that follows
there wasn't anything very much to
be mad" about in the first place.
1t would be quite all right for you
to speak to the young man if you
care about renewing the friendship.
