Ohio Expert Contrasts
Various Love Methods

from the Toledo Blade.
Here's a theme from the heart-balm
department, that corner of almost every
newspaper where feminine emotions are
given a time exposure. Ordinarily, per-
hapS, not stately enough for editorial
discussion. But why should one corner
usurp the ups and downs of emotional
life? The subject concerns human love,
love leads to matrimony, the corner
stone of the American home, and this is
a home newspaper.
1t is like this: The girl asks Doris,
the corner oracle, whether it is wise or
otherwise Ito let man be aware of the
full extent of your feelings about him"
Some say keep him guessing; others hold
to $3.50 love making. Doris admits it
is the privilege of modern girls to be
rather barefaced about their emotions.
Doris also says she has seen men
practically railroaded into marriage by
the enthusiasm of a girls feelings for
them" That isn't all. "They lived to
thank their lucky stars they drew such
a prize"
Some Of these discussions are based
on the error that love-making is of two
kinds, ancient and modern. Really,
there is only one diStinction-publicity
Where girls once wept on their pillow
they now weep in the corner of news
paper. AS for the man, who is not
wholly disinterested, if he is not a
dumb egg" he has some intuitionS of
his own. Usually he knows when he is
being railroaded to the altar. Even the
cave man knew his stuff.

achieved. In its infancy It was a
novelty" as seedsmen call such things.
but in time it became standard. until
today no one stops to think much
about it.
Similarly the professional and anna
teur grower u vegetables has been
given large number of edibles which
are distinct improvements on old types,
not new creations in any sense, but
rather new forms of old types with
some essential improvement, or lacking
some evident disagreeable quality. The
so-called "rustless asparagus" is another
example.
In this good work, quietly conducted
by men with efficient and loving hands.
the United States Department of Agri-
culture has as quietly and efficiently CO.
operated. Such men as Keeney leave
living memorials to themselves every
year in a million gardens, although the
gardeners may never have heard their
names.

, ing fires, 1t Is true, but a little free
hand may be permitted man may be
an artist with his logs no less than
with his brushes.
The humber matters of paper and
kindling and the actual lighting of
| them all may be left to the fancy of
each frebulider. The fireplace is his;
1t is the place for fire, the controlled
place where Natures draft takes charge,
| and logs turn themselves neatly into
heat, flame and smoke.
up the chimney goes the smoke, to
the glorious swapping and cracking
which help TO make up the fascination
OF the fireplacel
Not drop of smoke comes into our
nostrts, for the damper is set, chimney
and draft are fine. The wood is dry,
1t burns well and easily, with pic
turesque leaping flames which honor the
sturdy flrebrick.
x
Now is the time to sit back in ones
chair and gaze with fascination at the
leaping flames.
Those flames remind one of the sea
waves; there is something strangely
alike in their action, although no two
elements could be more dissimilar than
fire and water.
Yet as one watches the fire burn
higher and higher. with its ever-vary-
ing tongues of flame, multi-tinted for
his peculiar benefit, he realizes that the
forces of Nature are much alike, wher-
ever found or under whatever form.
We have watched the breakers on the
seashore, watched them roll, never two
after the other by the hour, never two
the same, yet all much alike; have sue
cumbed to the hypnotic influence of
their rolling; and now we sit by the
fireplace, watching the leaping flames,
as the chimney draft pulls them up,
seeing the curling bits of smoke which
puff out of the right side, watching the
leaps and darts of fire, hearing the
sharp snap of escaping saps and juices.
And as we sit here we realize that
the two are one in effect, that, water
and flame though they be, Nature has
economical her forces here, producing
the same effect on beholders, so that
fish and salamanders must know the
same things, and have the same sensa-
tions, and that we, as human beings,
when watching the fire in the fireplace
come the nearest we will ever come to
understanding fish and salamanders.
X X X x
One should not be pig about his
fireplace.
That is why 1t is both cheaper and
better to stint ones self with it rather
than run it constantly.
The modern home scarcely needs the
wood fire for comfort, but, aside from
that, moderation is a virtue here as
elsewhere.
If the fire in the fireplace is made
an event rather than the usual, its APP
peal will be the greater.
We believe that that is the way most
people run their fireplaces. Then every
l.sL - A. e. A.-4z
ing, down to the last glowing embers,
when black and white ash mingle, and
heat alone remains in the f1rebricks,
which will radiate for several hours
after the last spark is out. Draw the
f1rescreen close so that no lingering bit
of wood may come to life, and let us
follow the fireplace to rest.

Soviet Dumping Abroad.

A useful service Is performed by the
Foreign Policy Association in calling at
tention to the Soviet governments
policy Of dumping grain and raw ma
terials in foreign markets at prices
generally believed abroad to be below
the cost OF production. AS the result
Of its own survey of the situation, the
association concludes that it presents
no immediate menace" In substantial
ton Of that view, the fact, among
others, is cited that Russian exports
still fall short Of the pre-war level"
In the case of the United States, Rus
sia sent TO this country in 1929-3e ap-
proximately s235Oo,OOO worth Of COM
modities of all kinds, as compared with
SEQ $4,000 in 1918.
Americans should take due note of
another fact adduced by the Foreign
Policy Association. That is that four
European countries-France, Belgium,
Hungary and Rumania-have taken
formal steps to protect themselves
against Soviet dumping. In october OF
this year the French cabinet adopted
q decree providing that henceforth the
importation of a number of Soviet
products would be subject to license
The imports specified were grain, meat
eggs, sugar. timber, lint, glue and gela'
tin. The French minister of com
merce pointed out that his government
was proposing to do nothing more thar
