Love Is Found Secret
Of Personality and
Leadership

LONDON, March IA u.N.S).--
Love is the secret of personality,
according TO DR.. Bernard Hol-
lander, the celebrated physician
and alienist.
Personality, he said, lecturing
to the chronological Society. meant
a superior individuality, consisting
generally in character qualities
and moral influences, and not so
much influences. and not so
much In superiority of intelligence
1t was the masculine type that
became the leader of men.
"A man may be very gentle
manly and have no personality,
said DIR. Hollander. "A woman
may be very beautiful, which will
give her individuality but not
personality.
What nearly every man needs
is more personality. more life
and love, to be making progress
along the lines of his own wishes.
There can be no noble personality
without love.
'His is the best endowed or
ganization whose affection ex.
tends the most widely, and who
can love the most intensely"

MELLON URGES
PUBLIC To BUY
BONDS

Andrew w. Mellon gave the
American investing public some
advice today.
low price of bonds. due to interest
rates remaining relatively high.
now is the time for prudent in.
vestors to buy bonds" said the
Secretary of the Treasury.
Some stocks are good invest.
ments, but the quotations on others
are too high. These good stocks
are all right, but bonds are better
at the present time for the aver
age investor"
Statement Surprise
The Mellon announcement occa-
stoned considerable surprise here.
for very rarely does Secretary of
the Treasury volunteer such advice
to. the investing public in such an
off-hand way, particularly during
market hours. The Secretary'S re.
marks were made to newspaper cor
respondents during regular press
interview.
They were interpreted as a part
of the general effort of the Federal
Reserve Board to decrease the
enormous amount OF public money
now flowing into stock market
speculation. The first step in this
general campaign was taken a few
weeks ago when the Reserve Board
issued a general warning to its
member banks against throwing SO
much money into Wall Street.
Some Stocks Too High
This does not mean that many
stocks are not good buys" Mellon
said. Some. however, are TOD high
for sound investment.
1T is easier to pick out sound
bonds than sound stocks.
Since the market on bonds =
not particularly good now there are
not many new issues put out II
making forecast would say that
this is the time to buy good bonds. 7
Mellon pointed out that the tend,
ency of interest rates appeared te
be toward slightly higher level
but disregarding that, he explained
that bonds bought at relatively low
prices obviously yielded greater
return on the investment than She
rate fixed by the securities.
In reply to questions Mellon said
that he did not feel that the fact
that there was a good buyers mar
ket for bonds would have any APP
preciable effect on the speculative
character of the stock market, since
there were many STOCKS which would
serve the purpose of investment
equally well. Recently he pointed
out that there was a tendency
among investors to purchase in in
yestment trusts for the purpose OF
taking over sound stocks.
However, experts commenting on
Melons position said that any
great turning to bonds instead OF
stocks naturally would have 9
tendency to reduce the volume Of
money placed on the stock market

She may be seated right next to

She may be In the kitchen putting
the finishing touches on that roast

She may be in, Potomac Park

she may be reading this article at
this moment.
The Typical American Girl!
Where is she? Who is she? What
does she look like? How does she
dress? How does she talk? How
does she act? What does she think?
Quest to Decide
The Quest will decide that. Smart
Set Magazine has secured the CO.
operation of The Washington Times
and other Hearst newspapers in
their Quest for the young woman
who best typifies the good that
there is in American Womanhood.
It may be regional Partially, but
The Times believes the typical
American girl will be discovered in
washington, or within few miles
of 1t. In fact We think that the
typical Washington Girl is the
Typical American Girl.
The Quest extends from coast to
coast. Every town, city, and hamlet
liz being secured for the girl who is
the best representative
The Washington Times happy
task Is to find the typical Wash
ington girl. She will be taken to
New York under the proper chap
eronage and at the call of Smart Set
for the final selection there.
$1,000 Awaiting Her
A sum of $4,000 is awaiting her.
This has been placed to the credit
Of ''the Typical American Girl" and
will be awarded to her after the
judges have made their final selec-
ton.
1t cannot be emphasized too
strongly that this is not beauty
contest or a movie stunt" 1t is
an honest and sincere effort on the
part OF The Times and its c1.opera.
tors to find the girl who is mos!
like the typical American girl,
Only one major rule has been
made for judging the typical Amer
lean girl and that is Does this
girl seem to- be typical of all the
good qualities of her sisters7"
Although the Quest is half gone
ard some of the entries have been
examined, it is safe to say that the
typical American Girl will not be
found on the stage or screen.
Actresses are fine and lovely, but
they are exceptional in most cases,
and this Quest il to find just the
opposite. We want a girl who Is
herself. One who is just an Amer
ican Girl of today. Send in her
name.
The Typical American Girl.
OF whom are We speaking?
Read the rules and. help us, in
our Quest.

CAN I PASS
SENATE,
SAYS
NYE
By WIN. <. HUTCHINSON

The old Senate irreconcilable
group, minus the inspired
leadership of James A. Reed
Of Missouri, will fight any
modification of the American
terms of adherence to the
World Court. They served
notice today Of war on the
terms proposed by Elihu Root
at the Geneva conference.
Root, however, stole a march on
the irreconcilables, it was learned.
by submitting his plan to the World
Court leaders before going to Eu-
rope. 1t met with their approval.
Then he showed it to Senator Will.
man Of the Senate Foreign ReIa.
tions Committee. but Borah will
not say what occurred at the con
ference.
Nye Predicts Failure
1T looks like another war in thu
Senate" said Senator Nye (R) OF
North Dakota, one OF the younger
irreconcilables. ST feel sure the
Senate will not agree to any modi
fication Of its terms"
Senator Norris tRD Of Neb., an
old irreconciiable who voted for the
World Court with reservations, said
II do not believe the Senate viii
agree. to any modification Of its
reservations. Whether new treaty
e - ~ n
course, will depend entirely on how
far the reservations are modified"
The other side however, was
optimistic. Senators Swanson Cd of
Va, and Walsh CD Of Mont, who
led the League of Nations fight and
supported the Coolidge administra.
ton in the World Court fight, pre-
dicted the Senate would approve the
new Root terms.
Sees Terms Fulfilled
al don't know Of any reason to
| anticipate any loss Of support for
the effort to adhere to the court,
said Walsh. Before he left, Mr..
Root conferred with Senator Swan.
son and myself and discussed his
proposal with US. We approved 1t.
do not see how it changes the
terms of adherence"
AS written into the American
ratification, Article Five provided
that the World Court could render
no opinion on any subject in which
the United States had an interest
or claimed an interest, without the
| consent of the United States.
The Root substitute. Walsh said.
would provide for a series Of steps
to accomplish the same purpose.
