The War Finance corporation hae
been criticised because it makes its
loans to hanks instead Of direct to
farmers and cattle growers. Were
the Finance corporation to make
its loans direct to individuals it
would have required the creation OF
an enormous federal department
employing thousands Of people. 1t
would have necessitated the crea-
ton Of an intricate system that
would have required many months
TO put into operation. All this
would have taken 40 long that the

FROM PALACE TO GUTTER AND
~ ss BACK AGAIN..

The story Of Blanca Capella might
well be called '"The Face at the
Window" She was born in. 1548.
daughter Of a great Venetian noble.
And no girl ever had more alluring
future. But love interfered and she
ran away with a poor bank clerk to
his home in Florence. He had told her
that his parents belonged to the gem
try. Instead, she found them living In
q miserable slum.
Blanca soon became celebrated as
the flower of the Florence slums. One
day she was sitting at the window
when Francesca de Medici CHANGED by.
He saw her lovely face and the next
day she was summoned to court.
Francesca was the son Of the grand
duke, and soon her slave. She had
sickened Of the bnnk clerk husband
and the trials Of poverty.
Francesco's father died and he be-
came grand duke. Now Blanca saw
her chance to a place beside him. A
child was borrowed and presented to
Francesca by Blanca as his own.
Then, to conceal her plot, the real
mother was slain. A waiting woman
who knew of it was carried to a
mountain pass and left there for dead.
But adherents Of Francesco's brother
found this woman and heard her story
before she died. The brother was a
cardinal and jealous Of Bianca's rise
to power. In some way she learned
that the cardinal knew her secret, and
boldly confessed 1t to the grand duke.
Francesca, infatuated, forgave her
and insisted on treating the child as
II 1t really had been his own. But
Bianca's troubles were. only multiply
ing, for Francesco's wife bore him
son when all hope Of his having an
heir seemed lost. 1t looked as IL
Bianca's day was over. But she left
Florence q year, then returned In
greater favor than before. And soon
the duchess died, her young son fol:
lowing her shortly afterward. There
were hints of poison. at Bianca's In
.sttgation. However that may have
been, tile duke married her within
two months. The child first given to
francesca us an heir was legitimatized
and 1t appeared that an unknown
epnndling would some day rule
Florence. But Bianca still, had one Inn
plncnble enemy, the Cardinal de
Mcdici. In an effort to make friends
size invited him to great feast and
merry making, Just what happened
may never be known. Some historians
say that Blanca had prepared a
poisoned tart for the cardinal, but
that he substituted 1t for another tart,
Imprisoned, and 1t was served to the
duke. When Biapca saw her husband
In deadly agony, 1t is said she real
ized what had happened and ate the
other half Of the poisoned dainty.
Both were soon dead and Bianca's en-
erny had won.

continued throughout. the year instead
of for the eight months during which
the wage increase was in effect the
labor cost, ON an annual basis, would
have been largely in excess Of $780,
OOOOOO, an increase since the govern.
ment took charge of railroad wages in
the AdansOn act, of approximately
$2,45O, 100000 annually.
In the light of these figures 1t is
manifest that the recent reduction Of
wages authorized by the labor board,
estimated ut from 10 to II per cent, In
no sense meets or solves the problem
of labor costs and in no way makes 1t
possible for the railroads to afford q
reduction in their revenues.
Thousands Of Rates Already Reduced.
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between four and five thou
sand individual reductions In freight
rates. On some railroads the reduc-
tions in rates have amounted to more
than the reductions In wages SO far
made and on many other railroads the
reductions in wages allowed no net re-
turn on operations, but merely pro-
vided against the further accumula-
tion of deficit.
The point is often made that agri-
culture and other industries are also
suffering the same immediate difficult
ties as the railroads, why, therefore,
do not the railroads take their medi-
cine like anybody else7 The answer
lies in several facts.
1. The railroads were not permit
ted, as were other industries. to make
charges during the years of prosperity
making possible the accumulation of a
surplus to tide them over the present
extreme adversely. According to the
reports Of the Interstate Commerce
commission the rate of return on
property investment of the railroads
of the United States for the past sew
eral years has been as follows:

Got Your $3.50? q,
This Sum aPerson

You should be 80 cents richer
than you were a year ago.
And If you have your fair share
Of circulating bills and coin you
have $3.50.
All this Is on authority Of the
Treasury Department, which yester-
day announced:
Thai money in circulation in the
United States is s6,0s3.5oo.6ss, COM
pared with s5.s69.32o.472 a year ago:
that this would give each of l07.-
66s,0O0 persons $3.50 on April l
this year, while last year each per-
son would have had $3.50.
The general stock Of money in
the U. s. is much larger than the
amount in circulation because some
10 held as reserve by the govern
ment and banks. The total general
stock on April 1 was sS,0S2.773,S66,
Of which 33,0o1,4S7,si5 was gold
