A troop of Girl Scouts has
been organized in Chapel Hill
by Miss Ac Ruble, captain, and
Miss Miriam Curry, lieutenant.
A number of girls between
ten and twenty years old have
been meeting in the Presbyter-

Dieting

One afternoon recently l was
at a gathering at Mrs. Kluttz's
with the two Collier Cobbs, Sc
nior and junior. At the sight
of the chocolate cake my diet
ing resolutions melted away alb
solutely, and | remarked upon
my lack of resistance. Both
the Messrs. Cobb told me that
they engaged in periodical diet
ing campaigns. / learned that
the father had several suits of
clothes of varying cubic capa-
city. When he reaches his low
est point in weight he wears the
smallest clothes in his series. If
he. gains several pounds he
changes to next larger clothes,
and so on upward. At whatever
weight he is, he has clothes to
fit him. / have not yet reached
any such affluent condition as
this-myy practice is is to to &c gge to to a a
tailor and have the length of the
waist band altered. In the last
year or so the revision has been
like the Republican revision of
the tariff: always from less to
greater. One evening I had a
melancholy revelation. After
not having worn my evening
clothes for about a year | put
them on and went to dinner at
Drew Patteyson's. They were
rather tight, but did not seem
dangerously so until after the
meal. Abundantly, fed, we had
been sitting around the fire in
the living room when | asked
the company to excuse me for a
few minutes, saying that it was
highly important for me to get
to the post-office before the
closing hour. | got my mail, de-
toured to my home, changed to-
my more capacious daytime suit,
and then returned to the Pat
tersons'. / felt that this was
a queer way to behave, and l
know my hosts thought so too,
but had to breathe. | do not
know what to do about this mat
ter of dieting. Everything /
most want to eat seems to have
in it either fat or starch or
sugar. The question seems to
be: Shall / grow fat, or shall /
be miserable? The face of the
great scales in Eubanks' drug
store stares at me accusingly
whenever / pass through. 1t
makes me renew my resolutions
but when l get to the dinner
table the scales are out of sight
and forgotten.

A Way to Silence the Admirals
Mr.. Brouh of the New York
World advances the idea that
one reason admirals break out
into big-navy speeches, is that
they are practically forced to it
by lack of other excitement.
"These men in uniform are not
villains" says Mr.. Broun, ''but
reasonable human beings-rath-
er, | mean that they are like the
rest of us. Unfortunately mill
tary or naval service during
times of peace is very dull. Few
warriors have enough to do to
occupy their minds. There was
a time when liquor helped a
great deal to keep these men
from mischief. With enforced
sobriety it is not unnatural that
they grow restless. No perfect
substitute for war has ever been
invented. Still, there is an activ-
ity which might serve as an ap-
Proclamation. Some of the saw
agery which rises up in war
times might be drained off by
as simple a device as gambling.
If each battleship housed a num-
Der Of all-night poker games the
admirals would be less tempted
to go abroad to FORMAL dinners
for their folly. Let the men of
the navy slash each other with
jacks and broken fiushes and
they will have much less time to
be making belligerent eyes at
nations across the water. And
a few roulette wheels judicioasly
distributed in army posts might
easily reduce the clamor which
comes up for guns and gas and
living targets"

TIGHT CREDIT AFFECTS
FOREIGN LOAN BUSINESS

NEW YORK. August Is. (SpeciaD -
One of the collateral effects of the
strained credit conditions in this coun-
try Is the complete cessation of Ameri-
can financing Of European and South
and Central American loans. This may
be temporary condition, though the
fear exists that New York has lost its
prestige as an international money CEN
ter and that foreign borrowers may,
from now on. address themselves more
to London and later to Paris, than
they have done at any time since the
war
In the first six months of this year
the total f1otations of foreign govern
ment, municipal and corporation bonds
and stocks aggregated 1898 900 600 This
compared with $685. 900 900 In the same
period Of 1927 and S42S 900 900 in 1926
When money was easily last Spring 1t was
estimated that this years foreign loans
would reach 81 ESQ, 000. 900. 1t is now
doubtful whether they will come within
$500, 10000 Of this figure.
New York, next to Berlin. is the high
est money market in the World today
The per cent Federal Reserve discount
rate does not reflect the actual situa-
ton. with time money rates at 6l2 per
cent and call money ruling around Z
per cent In London the open market
discounts are between 4L4 and A.. per
cent and the Bank of England rate is
AZ per cent. The rate in France,
Switzerland is 3l2 per cent. in Belgium
per cent, Holland 4 y per cent, Den
mark 5 per cent, and Italy and Norway
Sig per cent. The effect of this spread
has been to send funds from all over
Europe TO the United States to take ad-
vantage Of the profitable loaning rates
here
So long as rates hold up In this coun-
try. 1t would be difficult for investment
bankers TO distribute new foreign loans
at basis of yield Of interest to the
banks. who are their largest customers
for such loans, and foreign borrowers
would not pay the rates asked in order
to make such loans attractive to the
American investor.
