ATTACK MADE ON
RESERVE BOARD
Cotton Official Charges Destructive
DefIation of Currency and
Prices.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Attacks on
the federal reserve system were
renewed today before the joint con-
gressional commission on agricu;-
tural.
J. s. Wannamaker, of South Caro-
lima, president of the American
Cotton association, asserted that de-
flation of currency and prices had
been terribly destructive to all
American producing interests, that
it had been wholly unnecessary, but
that it had been brought about de-
liberately by the federal reserve
board.
Il heard as early as 1918 that
plans were being rugged to put on
deflation," Mr.. Wannamaker said.
This eliminated in what was call
ed a buyers strike in 1920. We neS-
er had a buyers strike; it was
buyers panic, the result of unceas-
ing propaganda sent out to make
people afraid of prices, to spread
the fear that prices were to go low

Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 haye
been going with a young man Tor
ten months and we love each other
dearly. OF late the young man S
father has almost forbidden him TO
leave home. or do anything that
other boys do.
Since he cannot go with me much
I either have to go with some one
else or stay at home, as ne does noS
wish me to go with others because
we are secretly engaged Please
advise whether | should go with
others or not M1LLAE:
A secret engagement is reaIly
not an engagement at all. 1t leaves
a loophole for the one demanding
the secrecy to break the engage
rent without any responsibility or
fear of criticism II the young man
loves you so much that he cannot
let you go with other young men,
be should love you enough to de-
clare the engagement and face his
fathers wrath
/ presume that both of you are
quite young and not in a position
to marry. 1 would, therefore, ad
wise that you go with other young
men until the time whensyour Ell
gagement is made public.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am
coming again for youf motherly
love me, but he respects me and
loves me as friend only. He
made things very plain to me and
told me not to love him, but would
not say why. The other night he
told me he loves a girl, but couldn't
keep company with her. He says
it is the only time in his life that
he has ever loved any one. He
wants me for pal or real friend.
but l can't go on. Something must
be done. 1 have often thought OF
going away, but where? My love
is so great for this nah l would go
through anything for him if ]
thought he cared. Please under
stand and advise me, because I need
it and will appreciate it.
BROKEN
You should not go on giving love
and getting friendship in return
because it is too hard on you and
makes you suffer too much. The
man is selfish and does not realize
how much he is demanding of you
To give him up entirely is the only
wayto get contentment. When the
matter is settled and entirely over
you will feel a relief and freedom
from strain that will seem almost
like happiness.
Tell the man that you will al
ways consider him a very dear
friend and that in time of trouble
he can feel free to come to you, but
the rest of the time you think it
best not to see him.
You seem deeply in love, but
cannot believe that it is the great
est love in your life. Do not cling
to the past. If you enter into new
interests you will form new attach
ments and in time will learn to care
for some one else who will return
your affection with love as great
as your own.
"a War Sufferer: Get advice
from the Red Cross or from the
physician who is taking care OF
your husband. l do not blame him
for wanting to live at home with
his little family, but at the same
time tuberculosis is a very serious
disease and he should not selfshly
expose you and the children When

Here is a hint of what Paris has
sponsored as fashionable for fall
and winter wear. It is a coat of
mahogany-colored wool velour
made on the new silhouette with a
fitted waist and full skirt. The ir-
regular skirt hem is a so featured
on this coat, as are the sleeves set
in a large armhole. The wide shawl
collar, the band across the lower
edge of the front panel, and the
cuffs are of Australian opos sum,
the most favored pelt of the past
two seasons.
Such a coat will be found appro-
pirate for every occasion except
sports wear. 1t is comfortable for
the afternoon downtown and fash
lonable enough for~the social occa-
sions it may grace. Note the very
smart hat imported from Ger
maine. 1T turns sharply from the
face and the upturned brim is coy
cred with feather breast also in
mahogany shade to match the coat.
The hat is appropriate for year
with coat, suit or frock, but is par
ticu1arly suited to.this wrap.

he is pronounced cured it would be
all right for him to live at home. I
would advise, however, that you
move to favorable climate as soon
as possible.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young married lady with my second
husband. 1 have one little girl by
my first husband. / cannot under.

first married, just year ago today,
he would come home and never
greet either of usswith a smile, but
would sit down anywhere and would
pout and act very dissatisfied.

first and again felt it was because
we were just new to him.
/ am of jolly disposition and
full Of fun. To this day lean say
that he has only changed for the
worse. He never Quarrels or scoIds.
but to my notion does things worse
He VIII say insulting things to me
and then he will say he is ignorant
of what he says and doesn't mean
anything by it. He sits around and
never holds a conversation with me
l can talk until midnight and oc-
casionally he will murmur yes" or
no" 1t makes me feel that l am
not wanted or that he is sorry for
the deal but hates to admit it.
Don't you think l ought to go
away temporarily to see if he would
change his ways? Or should
keep on living as l have been with
out any pleasure? PUZZLED
think it would be an excellent
plan for you to go away for
while. Your husband may miss Won
more than he thinks possible now
and want you back SO much that he
will talk more and add cheer in
stead of gloom to the home.
To go on living in an unhapnv
state would be very bad for Won
and the child. If you can plan a
way to get away for a while, by all
means do SO.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are
two girls of 10 and have been go
ing with brothers until a few DAYS
ago. Our paEents objected Just be-
cause they are poor boys. Do YOU
think this is right OF them, as long
as they are respectable? Should
we go with them against the will
of our parents?
They have our pictures and we
have some articles of theirs. Shall
we return them, or wait until they
give our pictures back?
THANK. YOU.
For you to drop the boys simply
because they are poor does not
seem to me a very good reason.
Your parents may have other rea-
sons for Directing TO them. I'm
less they are ambitious and enter
prising 1 do not blame your par
ents, because they want you to
have the necessities of life At
your age you should respect the
opinion Of your parents and not
act contrary to their will
Return the articles and at the
same time ask for the return of
your pictures.

variety of gifts for the new home.
Later the company returned to the
living room where they enjoyed

was a dainty luncheon served at
the evenings close, viands fsatur-
ing the pink and white color
