The Test Of Love-.
BT DOROTHY DIX
Wsxad's Highest Paid yTonaa v


A young man wants to know how he
can tell whether girl is in love with
him or not.
That's easy, for when a girl is really
in love, she cannot dissent BILE her feel
ings- The signs of love break out On
her like the measles, SO that a blind
man might read them as he runs OF
course men are deceived often about
a woman's sentiments towards them
but in such cases they fool themselves
The woman is incapable of doing it
herself.
1t is a mans vanity that makes him
think that a woman is in love with
him when she's not, Just because she
says she is. He believes what he de-
sires to believe. If he would apply
these few acid tests to any woman. and
carefully note her reaction to them,
he would be able to determine the ex-
act state of her heart, and take the
temperature her feelings towards him.
First, take note of the kind of a
welcome she gives you when you go
to see her. 1t must, indeed, be a stu
pid man who cannot tell whether a
girl runs up the joy flag at his ap-
proach, or merely flutters any sort of
a rag of bunting. OF course, beau
is a beau in these times of the short
age of counting men. and if a girl is
to be popular. she has to give the
glad hand, and put on that oh-be-
joyful look every time anything in
trousers comes along.
But a man does not have to be a
Sherlock Holmes to be able to deduce
from her general conduct and CONVEX
sation, whether his coming really does
set the golden bells ringing for her, or
whether she simply endures him for
the sake of having man hanging
around.
He can tell it by the Frightening of
INV w OIL a As16 a
her lips, by the way she hangs on his
words. And likewise, she always has
some other girl about, and makes it
a threesome instead OF a twosome, or
] if she always proposes going about in
groups, there's nothing doing for you,
son. She's trying to get somebody to
help out in entertaining you.
A woman in love is the greatest
monopolist on earth. She's jealous
even of a mans mother, or sisters, and
she wants to the dangers of some dark
or blonde woman, who may make
havoc of her plans. Also, before she
can lead man up to the proposing
point, she has to have him solitary
and alone, where nobody can ever
answer when he calls for help.
So observe whether your Amarylis
inveigles you off into lonely walks,
and says mot at home" to other wish
tors on the nights you call, or whether
she always wants to go with the
crowd. and telephones over to John
and Mary to come and make up a
hand at bridge, and you will know
whether she is in love with you for
keeps, or is merely marking time with
you until the right man comes along
The third indication that girl gives
of being in love, is when she begins to
spare your pocketbook. Take note of
whether you are the candy kid or not.
All girls have beauX whom they toll
crate for the sake of their usefulness.
These men have to pay their way as
they go to theaters, and dances, and
restaurants.

THE MAN WHO SEES.

Some one has said that the eyes are
the windows to the soul. But unless
the soul uses these remarkable win
dows, they resolve themselves into
mere mechanical organs of sight.
The man who really sees is the one
who is rich in living.
For US all there is so much to see
tho so little is seen. Whole days are
lost to many because of blindness of
the eyes
The things that you want to see, you
are surest of seeing. Eyes are able to
search Just as the mind is able.
Blind people often see more than
those do whose sight is normal and
strong.
Our wills seei
The man who sees walks a quieter
and more serene way than any ether.
He walks in sureness and in conf
dence.
He sees beauty, the good in happi-
ness and people, and his vision is an
extended affair. For him to see need
is for him to brighten in his heart
and to lend his hand in service.
On thru the lanes of happiness does
every man and woman tread whose
eyes see the best in everything.
He gees farthest who helps another
to see!

Relative prosperity is estimated by
1.-THE Nations Business" on a basis of
the increase in taxes paid on net in
comes in the twelve months ended
with June, 1929, over the payments in
the twelve months ended with June,
1919. Rhode Island heads the list
with an increase of las per cent in
payments made to the government in
the latter year over those of the for
mar year. Michigan is second with
107 per cent; Florida third with so
per cent; Minnesota fourth with "A
per cent; Oregon fifth with ~ per
cent; Louisiana sixth with IS per cent,
and Mississippi seventh with 66 per
cent. Some states and territories
showed decreases, as South Dakota, 4
per cent; North Dakota. per cent;
Delaware. 8 per cent; Montana, l 2 per
cent, and Utah, Is per cent. But in
view of the present trend of business
and it's disappearing profits these fig
ures probably will undergo a marked
change in the current year.

Pointing out why a business house
should constantly keep its name be-
fore the public, The Nations Business
calls attention to the fact that as a
city grows. the percentage of persons
who have always lived there becomes
smaller and smaller. The proportion
who have lived there even ten or fiji
teen years is small. Herein may lie the
secret of the fact that new concerns
frequently spring up and put the old
ones out of business. Not inffequent-
ly stores which have become land
marks in a city close out and quit.
There have been notable examples in
Topeka recently. In every instance
the retiring merchants have been men
who did not advertise. They have not
failed they simply have fallen behind
the procession. A merchant who de-
ponds on the fact that he has been
thirty or forty years in business in
one locality and that therefore every
body knows him cannot progress.
More enterprising concerns will come
in and capture the new trade and pos
sihly some OF his old customers as
well.

CHEAP MONEY FOR UNCLE SAM.

There. is a movement under way TO
persuade the next congress to change
the entire groundwork of the postal
savings system and to reform by legis-
lation certain departmental regulations
alleged to be defeating the general
aim of the initial postal savings law.
The leader of the agitation to expand
1.-THE postal savings system is Eugene
Meyer, Jr., a New York banker, for
merIy managing director of the war
finance corporation, a government
war time emergency bank with $780,
900, zoe capital. The genesis of Mr..
Meyers efforts is his belief that the
primary need of the hour is thrift,
that the billions which are needed to
absorb our floating debt and the lib
erty bonds now held by the banks
must be obtained from the savings of
the masses.
He is convinced that the man with
the dinner-pail,> not the man with the
money-bags, is the financial hope of
America. He and many other bank
ers declare that most of our economic
troubles are due to the wars destruc-
tion of capital, that the shortage of
liquid resources can only be made up
out of savings. Under the present
taxation system, the surplus funds of
the wealthy are being garneFed by the
government to pay its running ex-
penses.
1t is maintained that the defects of
the present postal savings system are
-, L.
rate to 2 per cent, in the regulations
governing the administration of that
law, and in the fact that out of about
SIS. 900 postoffices in the country only
e,439 are authorized to accept depos-
its. Concurring with Mr.. Meyer are
said to be Herbert Hoover and many
students of political and social eco
Monies.
1t is pointed out that the govern
ment now issues it's treasury certifi-
Gates to banks at per cent. why not
borrow from the people at, say, per
cent. thru the medium of a bigger,
better and fairer postal savings system
and let the banks divert the money
they now lend the government to 9TH

the expansion of the oountry's essen
tial industries?
Borrowing from the people at a
lower interest rate than is required
to pay the banks is not only good
finance, it is urged, but the likeliest
way to Americanize the foreign ele-
ment of our population. 1t would
give alien savers a tangible, material
interest in the government, and
make them turn deaf ear toward the
rantings of Bolshevism.
Says Charles H. Fullaway, former
assistant director of the postal saw
ings system: "The chief fault of the
system is, most decidedly, its low in
terest rate. Thousands of people
could be induced to open government
accounts If the basis of return were
more worthwhile. Privately owned
banks are paying Az per cent and
higher. The rate on postal savings
should be fixed at figure just under
that. We should then see money that
is being boarded in stockings and
money-belt come pouring back into
circulation"
