DUFFLE BAG MARKET
SLUMPS ON INSPECTION
Baggage Abandoned by Deserving
Sailors Once Brought $5 Each
Before Opened by u. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 31-A pile Of
old duffle bags and battered suit cases,
abandoned by seamen deserving from
American ships, brought an average
price of slightly more than 81 apiece
at an annual auction sale, conducted
in the United States barge office on
the water front yesterday.
Time was when those shabby pieces
of baggage, which are not opened until
after they are sold, used to bring as
high as SIS apiece. But that was before
customs officials, inspired by the dis
covery of two bottles of Scotch whisky
in an ancient duffle bag last year, de-
creed that every piece had to be in
spected after sale for contraband.
There was no whisky yesterday. Only
clothing, old shoes, razors, soap anc
frst-aid kits.

LONDON BANK RATE CUT.
Easier Money Conditions Result in Drop
20 6 Per Cent.

LONDON, october 81 R.-The Lon
don bank rate today was lowered from
612 to 6 per cent. H.
One of the main reasons for the
lower bank rate is the easier monetary
position occaSioned by the inflow OF
gold and the return of British capital
which followed the 62 per cent rate
recently imposed. Gold has come in
from the Argentine and the outflow Of
gold to Germany and the United States
has ceased. Announcement that the
sending 8 1000, 900 in gold to London
before the end Of the year also has
helped to ease the situation, which the
authorities believe no longer warranted
such a high rate as 612.
The reduced rate caught the Stock
Exchange quite unawareS, and as Soon
as the indicator marked the 6 per cent
dealers Immediately marked up gilt
edged stocks, while transatlantic issues
showed further strength, all other Sec
tons soon after moving higher In SYM
pathy. - - j.
Bankers and discount houses got
busy adjusting their rates to coincide
with the of1cial minimum, and a sigh
of relief went up from borrowers, who
have been hit hard since the higher
rate was established.

BOMBAY, India, October 81 R.-

You dear, foolish chiIdren-for
you are acting like children. al
though you are in your late teens
end early twenties. You love
each other--both your letters ex-
plain that quite clearly-and that
is the great thingi OF course, you
do not fully understand each
other. The eternal feminine and
the masculine viewpoint always
have been, always will be, q mys-
terry to each other!
But true love includes trust
and tolerance. Can you not re-
member this and stop Quarrelling;
Otherwise you will lose each other,
and IL you are really in love,
that is unthinkable.
You, Waiting, write much OF
love for your sweetheart, but you
do not even hint any intention of
proposing marriage to her in
either of your letters. Then
what right have you. in the name
Of friendship or affection, to claim
or expect her undivided attention
and friendship?
The words. II love you," are
easily said. Every wise girl
knows. however, that only a clear.
: cut proposal of marriage proves
love. Until that engagement of.
marriage exists she may receive
attentions from other young men
as well, for 1t is natural that q
girl should hope for and look
forward to the security of mar.
riage and home.
am glad that you and she
love each other and that her par
:. ents approve. Now prove your
sincerity by being patient and
generous with each other. And
remember, an engagement or
marriage Is the only proof of SER
ious love.
/ still maintain that a little patti
ence and tolerance viii salvage
this dear friendship of yours,
whether or not 1t ever deepens
into the serious love that iss a
safe basis for undivided attention,
betrothal and marriage.
