perfectly well, it is unreasonable for
her to refuse. She should not have
married if she is unwilling to cook for
her husband.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am a girl
of eighteen. Recently | have been
going with a young man of the same
age. The other day he wrote me a
note saying that his parents would
not let him go anywhere anymore and
so he gave my ring back. At the end
of a week he went to party and took
another girl home. Would it be
proper for me to write and ask him If
his folks will let him go anymore than
they would then, or do you think he
just wanted to get rid of me and go
with the other girl?
About a year ago ! went with an
other boy of whom | thought great
deal, and still do. | think he also
thought a great deal of me. At pres
ent he is not soing with any other
girl. How can | win back his love?
BIG EYES.
The young man used his parents
objection as an excuse. Do not write
| to him.
1t is not in good taste for a girl to
| try to win back the love of a young
man who is no longer interested il
| her. Let the young man go his owr
way and wait until some one shows ar
| interest in you of his own accord.

RUTH LEARNS MORE.

Ruth gave an account of her visit
to Myras, and tried to tell her i'm
pressions of the place. She was con-
scious that the acute Gaby was watch
ing her closely while she talked
Are you still in love with TIM"
she asked bluntiy
He's married" Ruths voice was a
protest.
"As though that fact could change
your feelings" Gaby answered, recoe-
MIXING the protest but brushing 1t
aside. IF the mere fact that the man
you were in love with married another
could make you stop loving him-well,
it wouldn't be such a complicated
world, would it,
II suppose not" Ruth answered,
staring into her untouched cup of tea.
But at the same time have no moral
right to be in love with him, and |
certainly can't admit it, even to my
self"
That's funny reasoning" the other
girl remarked. What did you think
of Tim? You haven't seen him for a
long time
NO, / haven't And | don't know
what | think of him. He's-well, he's
different While we were working so
hard on the new plans for the city, l
used to wish for Tim, because he was
always so interested. He does not
seem to care now. Of course" she
added quickly in his defense, there's
no reason why he should. After all,
it's not his town any more"
Gaby kept looking at her steadily.
What did you think of his fiat-fur-
n al IF
can judge a person by his home, you
know"
Probably Myra furnished it.
Ruth was very much on the defensive.
So much so that Gaby laughed.

MAN IS DEFENDER
 OF MODERN GIRL

HBy International News Scrvicc)
 BOSTON. July 23.-The girl of 1927 and her mode of dress have found an other defender. He is Ralph FIand- CTS, manager of the New England Conservatory of Music.
 Have little patience with the girl of today" he says. Just because her yirtures are different from her grand. mammals is no reason she hasn't got 'em. After all, there are styles, even in goodness you know.
 For every silly modern girl can show you a hundred self.dependent. self-supporting, eager, intelligent young women."
 Flanders declared that hygiene had considerable to do with the evolution of feminine attire.

BUSINESS SITUATION

Business, at the beginning of 1921, faced three primary obstacles to the conduct of af- fairs on everything like a normal plane. Com modtv prices were still in many cases grossly inflated. Wages were still on war basis. The banking position was obviously strained. These obstacles are not to be regarded as entirely overcome, but much progress has been made.
 Six months ago it scarcely seemed possible that by this time prices for many raw materials would have reached a point of approximate Stabizaton; that wage reductions would have been accepted by workers in widely diversified industries in the realization that they were just and necessary, and finally that the banking position as d whole could have improved to the extent indicated by the substantial reduction in th" borrowings of reporting member banks at the federal reserve banks. Such borrowings have declined nearly 10 per cent from the max imum reached last fall.
 Sentiment with respect to business will nat uray fuctuatc in times like these The reac- tion from the Spurt in spring business has caused disappointment. The end of the pre- mature revival in the automobile industry and the renewed downward movement in the prices of some commodities, notably sugar and pc tropum, have been factors in bringing about spirit of pessmsm which is not entirely iusti- fled when the improvement in fundamental conditions is considered.
 On the other hand, it is mwise to expect oth- CT than quiet business during the summer months. Satisfactory recovery can come only after protractcd period, during which price liquidation must be completed as to manufac- turcd and semi finished goods and confidencc| in the future restored Closely connected, too, ,, with domestic business Is the state of trade abroad and especially in Europe where polit- ical considerations must be a powerful influ- ence in shaping the future But in this direc- tion also encouragement may be found in the fixing of a definite schedule of separations pay ments as well as the now plainl ydiscernible determination of most of the peoples of Europe to resume productive enterprise as rapidly as possible.

LET US GIVE THANKS

If the Harding administration did nothing more than Americanize the foreign policy of the United States 1t would more than justify the tremendous majority the Republican party received at the polls last November.
 That the policy is clarified and completely Amercanized becomes increasingly evident every day, in spite of the efforts of the last ditch leagues to create the impression that Uncle Sam is still flirting with the covenant
 Let those who still rest under this mpres sion read the excellent address of Secretary of State Hughes at Brown University last week in which he says that it is not desirable that Americas helpful influence should be frittered away "by relating ourselves unnecessarily to political questions which involve rivalres of interest abroad with which we nave no proper concern" Let them also take cognizance of the fact that direct negotiations have been be- gun between the United States and Japan for the settlement of the questions pending between them-negotations that are being conducted by Baron Shidehara the Japanese ambassador and Secretary Hughes.
 It behoOves the American people to turn for a moment from the domestic problems which bear down upon them and consider the present status of Europe. They will find plenty of in spriation for giving thanks that America cs capped the league of nations.
 Not since the downfall of Napolon have af fairs on the continent been so unsettled. Rus sia is still chaos Poland, recently liberated has ambitions which run counter to the inter csts of some of the larger powers, and are apt to klndIc another European war at any moment Silcsia, involved in civil war, is patroIIed by a- lied soldiers, and the Americans would be there too were we m 'mbcrs of the league Greece and Turkey gre at war, and 'hCy, too, are t&c seeds of another general conflict Great Brit ain has already sent word to the Porte that an assault on Constaninoplc means war between Turkey and Ir gland There is civil war in Ireland and unrest in the Orient. with Persia and other ASiatic countries threatening to throw off the Western Europe influence to cm- brace boIshcvism.
 Even Great Britain, the strongest power of them all, Sccthcs with unrest, and faces gen IoraI characterization of industry because of the strike of the coal miners.
 Politics makes strange bcdfc,Iows in Europe las well @s in America. There are abundant signs of differences between France Great Britain and Italy Great Britain inter ferod in behalf of Germany in the Sie- sian controversy, thereby offending the Poles and the French. And now comes a hint that there is brewing an economic understanding be- tween France and Germany that would re bound to the advantage of both nations-a pos sibiIity that is cGnsing Great Britain concern.
 Ii is true that r., league is not functioning, that the member nations are quarreling and bargaining with no reference whatever to the rules of the league.

Reputable physicians at Portland and other western cities are conducting hospitals, and are asking charters to establish hospitals to care for the sick and perform the multitude of oper
 ations that they seem to be able to make people believe are necessary and do it without taking up subscriptions or placing burdens on the tax payers. The Catholic sisters organizations build hospitals and maintain them and never ask public help in the way of taxes at least Should there not be an end of building million dollar hospitals at the expense of the taxpayers especially of those who never have use for the hospital service? And isn't that what we are driving at, to never have to go to- a hospital and never to be placed on an operating table?

LITTLE time is REQUIRED
of Depression in Mississippi
Valley States-Loan Banks
Recommended.

ST. LOUIS.=The condition OF bust
ness in the United States is basically
sound, and fear for the welfare OF
commercial America is due principally
to state of mind" a natural conse-
quence of the war.
This is the gist of the economic sur
vey conducted by the Mississippi Val
ley Association, announced recently.
Questionnaires sent to business men,
bankers, agriculturalists and economic
students in the 27 states in the wal
ley" brought 5000 replies
The underlying thought in the an
swers is that the present business
depression is caused by the ."conse-
quent and necessary deflation of the
inflation,' and the universal demand
for lower living costs.
To the question, what additional
system of credits should be inaugu-
rated to release money when urgently
needed in our agricultural and indus
trial centers ?"-many replied that
profits of the federal reserve board
should be made available for farm
credits.
Some recommended establishment
of more farm loan banks.
