Greater Confidence Instilled.

While the business attitude has been one of watchfulness, the board believed greater confidence had been instilled by the continued industrial activity of the fall months and the steady demand for consumers goods. Throughout the year, however, the re- view added, the attitude of business acted as a moderating influence and thus to an extent stabilized trade and industry. The hesitancy was declared to have resulted from a general be- lief on the part of business leaders that the expansion which had lasted more than eighteen months could hardly be maintained and the reces- sion which followed was therefore, mere1 van expression of the.conserva- tive attitude taken by the business community
 Notwithstanding the business ex- pansion of 1922 and early 1923, the amount of credit used by the country, as indicated by the demand on the federal reserve banks, remained prac- tically constant The range of amounts borrowed through the reserve sys- tenn was from $I,ooo, ,oon,ooo to about
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-01-12

$1, POO. 900, ,ooo, the boards records showed.
 The constancy of the credit vol tune during the two years has served as a basis for observation by the board as to policy requirements, the review said, and this was particular ly true of the effect of changes in the volume of open market holdings upon the volume of discounts by the mem Der banks. Summed up, the board found that whether the member banks discounts changed the upward or downward the cause could be found Tn the volume of open market pur- chases by the reserve banks.
 Discounts Increase.
 Growth in credit used by member banks in the agricultural districts during the year was much larger than in the industrial districts, the review said, adding that discounts by the agricultural districts, Rich mond, Atlanta, St. Louis, Minneapo- lis, Kansas City and Dallas, increased by 6o per cent. between JJanuary and September. Discounts at the other re- serve banks, or those in almost who'll ly industrial sections increased only 31 per cent. although this applied, 1t was explained, only to borrowings financed through the reserve banks, attention was called that 1t was prob ably a true indication of general bor- rowing operations.

National Income Larger.

"A national income larger than in 1922 arising both out of increased earnings of factory workers and larger proceeds from the sale of farm products" the review continued, furnished the buying power to ab- sorb the years increased output of goods. The income of industrial workers, as the result of volume of employment approximately B per cent larger than in 1922 and of wage advances greatly exceeded that of the previous year.
 "The total value of agricultural production was about 5000, ,ooO, 900 greater than in 1922. The increase in income was not accompanied by corresponding rise i'll the cost of living and the large growth in saw ings deposits indicates that there was "a considerable margin of income above expenditures. The increased buying during the year is reflected in the volume of retail trade, which was larger every month of 1923 than of 1922 so far as monthly figures are now available, and the total of department store sales for the ten months exceeded those for the cor responding months of last year by B per cent. The distribution and marketing of goods was facilitated by the improvement of transporta- ton facilities and the volume of railroad traffic was the largest on record"

Hou TO Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but "a moment to prepare,
and saves you about 81.
s.s.s"s"s"..s.."..s-s


Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have a remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest
Pine cough syrups are combinations
Of pine and syrup. The syrup part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 21a ounces
with home made sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make full pint
more than you can buy ready-made
for three times the money. It is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
emily loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same--in-
fiamed membranes--and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop ID
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is highly concentrated com.

for its prompt effect upon coughs.

Danny and Nanny Find a New
Home
Who Of disaster makes the best
Doth prove his fitness by the
test.
Old Mother Nature.

Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse
stopped just long enough to see that
the great man. bird had a broken
wing and was standing on its head.
Then they hurried away as fast as
their short legs could take them.
They had had such fright in their
dreadful fall that their only thought
was to get away from there as soon
as possible.
| Now, the great man bird had fallen
on the edge of the garden of the
owner of the little house Danny and
Nanny had looked down on. That
house wasn't much of a house. 1t
was the home Of settler. You know,
a. settler is a man or woman who
goes into q land where few or no
other human beings live and there
cuts away the trees and plants crops,
and so makes a farm. This place
was the beginning of farm, and it
was long, long way from any other
farm But, of course, Danny and
Nanny didn't know this.
They ran until they were quite out
of breath and had to stop. Then they
began to take notice of things. Nam
ny was very much upset. What
ever are we going to do now" she
whimpered. eve haven't any place
to go. We don't know where we
are"
Eyes, we do said Danny. eve
know we are right here
| But Nanny was too much upset to
| join in Danny's chuckle at his own
joke. Danny saw this. Don't you
worry" said he. 81 guess if we look
around we can find place to make
new home. That place where we
fell is a garden or I don't know one
when see it. That means there is
sure to be plenty of food, for wher-
ever man is there is food. / suppose
we can go back to that man-bird."
NO" declared Nanny most decid-
eddy. Zone fall out of the sky is
enough for me. Now I am on the
ground, I. mean to stay here"
"All right" replied Danny cheer
fully. "Well look around for a place
for a new home"
Now, on the Green Meadows up
North Nanny had always been the
one to lead when they were looking
was Danny who led the way. Danny
already had had some experience.
Besides, in him was the spirit of adj
venture. So Danny led and Nanny
for a new home. But down here, in
this new, strange Sunny South, it
mee1lly followed. She kept right at
Danny's heels. She was afraid of
losing Danny and being left all
alone.
Danny kept along the edge of that
garden. He remembered how easily
he had lost his way the first time
he had left the great man-bird. He
didn't intend to get lost this time.
BY and by they came to the stump
of tree on the very edge Of that gar
den.
This is the place" declared Dan
ny. And between two roots, which
grew very close together, he began
to dig. The soil was very sandy and
it was easy digging. Danny never

conceive Of any fate more terrible
for an American girl than to marry
any Oriental. This is entirely with
out reference to the man himself,
or his wealth, or his social status.
If you marry a Chinese man, you
will become by law, a Chinese
woman, subject to the laws and ira
ditions that bind Chinese women. A
Chinaman's first wife is picked out
for him by his parents, and it is not
likely that a wealthy ana aristo-
cratic Chinaman's father and
mother would select a foreigner for
that exalted position, so you would
probably start out as d secondary
wife, or concubine. At any rate,
your husband would have many
wives, and if you failed to have
sons, your position would be a most
unenviable one.
You are used to going about, to
having a good time, to all sorts of
amusements. The life of Chinese
women is, from our standpoint, one
Of incredible dullness. They live
shut up in the women's quarters
with absolutely nothing to do but

gossip in language that you prob
ably never would be able to master?
And you would have precious little
other society, for there is small in
tercourse between the foreigners
and Chinese in China.
And worst Of all, my dear, the
Chinese mans mental attitude to-
ward women is entirely different to
that of the American man. and he
can no more change that than he
can change his skin. For untold
centuries the Chinese have looked
down on women as inferior beings
Women have been their slaves and
their playthings, of no more value
than 1.-THE meaneSt animal. No ve-
neer Of education and culture can
change this, and it would be prac-

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

and Occidentals always being mis-
cry on the woman.
DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Miss Dix: I am a young
man just in my twenties. I have a
very kind uncle who offers to fl
nance me if I wish to get univer-
sity education, which would take
from four to eight years. depending
on the course.
If I became highly educated,
would this place a barrier between
my fiancee. who has only public
school education, and myself?
SELFISH.
1t would depend on the girl. II
she has an alert mind and is am
bilious, she could keep in converse
tional distance with you by reading
and improving herself, and gener.
Tally widening her mental horizon.
But if she is one Of the girls who
does not read at all or who only
reads foolish, trashy novels to amuse
herself, l think that you would find
that you had very little in common
uated from the university, and that
she would be very dull company for
you.
On the other hand, in deciding
this question you have to take your
own type Of mind into consideration.
There are many men who do not
care for intelligence in their wives.
They prefer women who are ig-
norant and before whom they can
pose as wiseacres. They like the
kind of g. woman who takes all of
her opinions from her husband and
who asks him what she thinks and
what she shall do on an occasions.
They like wives who are perpetual
incense burners and who gasp with
awe every time their husbands
speak.
II you belong to this complacent.
self-conceited class of men, you will
find 1t no drawback to your wife
that she isn't your mental equal.
But If you want companionship In
wife, a wife who rarKs your Ian
guage and who is interested in Just
the things that you are interested
in, you had better stay on the same
plane as your sweetheart, or else
wait until you get through school
and then select the Kind of woman
who appeals to you then.
Consider this: That eight years
spent in study at university will
make of you an entirely different
man. You will be brought under
every sort of cultural influence. You
will be polished and refined. You
Will form new habits, different as.
socfations, which will set you higher
ideals. How can you possibly tell
now what sort of a wife you will
want, then? DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Dorothy Dix: Is it wrong to
kiss boys?
What is a soul kiss?
THELMA AND ELAINE.
Answer: Yes, it is wrong to kiss
boys when it isn't common, and ii
is common when 1t isn't wrong. II
KISS wasn't wrong; if it wasn't
dangerous; If it wasn't playing with
passion, as a child plays with fire
there would be no kisses, and the
boys who take you to the movies
wouldn't exact a kiss in payment
for the 30 cents they have spent
on you.
There is no such thing as a soul
kiss, except the one that your
mother gives YOU All kisses from
men, outside of your own family
are of the earth earthly and of the
flesh fleshy. Beware of them,
