URGES HIGHER RATE
ON SMALL LOANS
Mrs. Richard Wainwright
Thinks Reduction to ! Per
Cent Was Great Mistake.

Mrs. Richard Wainwright, who has
been member of the citizens COM
mittee on remedial loan law since
1t was organized. and who had been
interested in the subject before that
time, said today:
Mr: Focht Is mistaken in opposing
tne commissioners bill, increasing
the rate on loans on notes as well
as on pledges in the present loan law
10 per cent per month, as asked
the District, and in giving as a rea-
son that those in favor Of the law
ever argued that per cent per
month was enough for loans on notes.
Result of Investigation.
"A careful investigation made by
the Russell Sage Foundation about
the time the citizens committee was
formed showed that such small loans
could not be made at less than per
cent per month, and SO far as know
they never thought 1 per cent was
asked for per cent per month then.
and has asked for ii ever since.
1T was unfortunate that Mr.. Focht
and his associates reduced the rate
to 1 per cent in passing the present
law. We credit them with the best
mittee wrote the conferees at the
time that the reductions would prob
ably keep poor people from getting
the money in the District at all. as
1t has; but since the experience has
proved that this reduction was
mistake, and since not one loan either
on a pledge or note has been made
under the law for more than six years
because of the low rate, it Is wrong
to urge at this time that any one be-
lieves l per cent per month to be
enough.
Mistake to Enact Separate Law.
ut would be great mistake to
enact now a separate law providing
for loans on pledges only, ana to let
the prohibitive rate stand for other
loans. The only reasonable way to
meet the situation is to pass the
Commissioners bill, H. r. 5015, which
will provide amply for loans of both
kinds at the lowest possible cost.
This can be done with the change
of one word and the addition of -hir-
teen words to the present law, which
has been sustained by the courts and
works well except for the impossible
rate. Nothing could be simpler"

"Georgia's Costly Gullies. y

The state geoogist, Mr.. S. w. McCallie,
imparts the information that Georgia IS IN
danger of being washed out to sea through
the medium of its rivers unless something
is done to bring about reforestation in the
state. In an article in American Foresty Mr.,
McCallie tells us that the Savannah river
alone carries annually to the Atlantic ocean
2 500 600 600 tons of Georgia soil, which is
lbs carloads a day. 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that if the Savannah river IS taking
that much toll the Chattahoochee the Flint
the Altamaha and others are eXacting their
share, and the land loss in Georgia each
day must be immense.
Mr.. McCallie illustrates his story with a
picture of what was once a fertile and -four
ishing cotton field in Stewart county. Now,
as the Savannah Press says, the picture
looks as if it might represent the steppes OF
Russia or some arid plain cracked by the

temporary asks, and answers its query as
follows: "Terracing, deep blowing and the
protection of the forests. Georgia must be
saved from its gues, which have their be
ginnings IN small washes that make THEN
appearance soon after the forests are re-
moved from the hill slopes. From year tc
year the gully increases its length and depth
The downward cutting continues until it APP

low. Here the water ceases to deepen the
gully. but spends its energies in widening
its lower end At this stage OF its life his

blackberries, etc, begin to grow in the lowel
reaches of the gully. Erosion now ceases anC
a soil is formed"
d AS the Press says. we must prevent The
r-eaton OF gullies, the washing away OF thu
soil and the destruction of the land that pro
duces crops. And the way to do It is tC
not cut away all our forests and to replenisf
the forests htat we do cut away.

Another Age Cure.

The world is full OF men like Ponce de
Leon. who desired to find the fountain OF
youth. and upon these victims Of age, who
are credulous indeed, discovers" of wonder
full secrets are preying. Age cures OF all
kinds are reported to have been developed,
and amazing results have been claimed.
Most of these famous cures have come
from Europe, which needs as much rejuven-
ating as any other section OF the world, but
the reports regarding them are so vague
as to be unsatisfactory, so ridiculous as to
lose all sembance of truth.
Another socaed cure for age has been
reported as discovered in Vienna. Yes, it has
something to do with a gland operation,
only in this a duct is tied up with a string
so youth cannot escape! DR.. Steinach is
the discoverer of this remarkable thing, and
is reported to have said it were easy for
a man to live to be 100 years of age Even
one is old the duct-whatever it is
can be tied with string after slight oper-
alton requiring only a local anaesthetiC, and
10 and behold, one becomes a boy again
The duct may be tied once and the hail
ceases to be gray or white. Once more the
pigments thdt Hed WIFI departing youll lC'
turn and dye the locks raven or gold or rec
or brown according to the color chart by
which the individual lived when boy. Their
when the patient begins to age again-prob
ably when the string breaks or becomes un
tied-the duct may be half htched as be
fore and the third childhood comes, and Sc
on up to 100 That is what Dr. Steinach il
claiming.
The News does not believe it to be true
Nature is Steiner mistress than to have
her law controverted in this way. RICH
living, which induces good health, results
IN youth being longer retained, but Whei
age commences it finishes the job Life
may be prolonged by sanitation, by obedi
ence to the laws of health, by avoidance
of ills and watchful care OF the physica
body, but so far only the mind has tina
power to turn time backward and max
man boy again.
