INTEREST CHARGES
MAY REMAIN Low
New Treasury Financing In
dicates Continued Ease
in Money Market.
BY PRESTON s. KREcKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 9.-Treasury
financing for September refunding pur-
poses, as announced by Secretary Mel
lon, emphasizes the extreme ease of
the money market and forecasts a pro-
longed period of low interest rates.
Secretary Mellon offers banks the OPP
portunity to invest their funds in notes
to run for IL months at 23s per cent.
The mere fact that he expects to sell
notes yielding such low rate of re-
turn carries the implication that he
thinks interest rates will remain low
for the ensuing year.
The rate Is somewhat lower than
Wall Street bankers had expected, even
in these days of extraordinary ease in
the money market. 1t is indeed the
lowest coupon ever carried by that type
of Government security. Nevertheless,
inquiries already received for the forth
coming issue indicate that Mr.. Mellon
will experience no difficulty whatever in
selling the certificates. He has once
more proved his ability to judge the
money market with exceptional shrewd-
| ness.
The lowest rate previously paid on a
certificate issue was back in 1924, when,
/ incidentally, conditions in the money
market closely paraleled those pre-
vailing today. But even in those days
| the best the Government could do was
to sell 234 per cent note. That rate
was almost equalled last June when
an issue of $429 ,373, 900 12-month GER
| tificates was marketed on 21s pei
| cent basis. The June offering was
oversubscribed six times. Whether the
| forthcoming issue will be in as greal
a demand is question, but 1t Is pos
| Sible, as certificates are much desired
by banks because they create Govern
ment deposits which bear interest.
While the Treasury never has sols
certificates on as low an income basi
1t has bettered ga per cent In sellinl

two occasions. On July IA 1t sold $50,
$4,000 bills at a discount OF rs pc

Of $i20. 100000 at discount of 1876 pc
cent. However. those were short-tern
issues, not running over two or tire
months. whereas the present issue wi
ntt mature for an entire year.
Rates of interest on Government
financing have progressively declined al
through the year. The Government ha
. sold two issues Of certificates of indebt
: edness this year. One, as already sale

March, consisted OF S4d364l 700 MIN

In the majority of cases the new
issues have been made to refund old
ones and have not resulted in any in
crease in the public debt. In fact the
public debt has decreased moderately
this year. The total gross debt on De-
cember 81, 1929, was $16,300, 800, 157,

Of certificates and $50,000.00O Treasury
bills. To meet the excess over the pend
ing offering the Government will have
available accumulated sinking fund
moneys. The Treasury has virtually
ceased to buy outstanding bonds for
the sinking fund. 1t is estimated that
accumulations of sinking fund monies
as result total about $780, 900,
which would be more than ample to
cover not only the new issue, but also

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Shvnes<

Question: Y. v. T. writes: 81 am
a young man "a years of age. have a
good education and enjoy good health.
I find it hare. to mix with people.
Many people think I am stuck up
because of my actions but it is really
my shyness that causes this. Have
tried many times to overcome this,
but to no avail. I wish that you would
discuss the subject in your column
because 1t would be beneficial to
many"
Answer: Sometime ago I printed
an article calle THAT 1nferiority
Complex" I have since received
many requests for this article and l
still have a nu ,ber on hand. It Is
usually possible to overcome this shy
ness by cultivating an aggressive
mental attitude, taking responsible
tiles and initiative. It is we'll to study
dancing and join a debating society
and to indulge in activities through
which you will be forced to meet
people.
Milk or Cream
Question: Mrs. g. writes: Il would
like to know if a patient taking your
diet could drink milk, or is 1t all right
to use milk on the corn-meal mlsh
YOU recommend in your menus?"
Answer: 1t depends on which OF
my diets the patient is following
Sometimes I prescribe an almost ex'
elusive milk diet, and in other diets
I do not advise milk. In the average
diet, milk may be used in the same
manner in which you use any other
form of protein. It Is best not to use
it with cornmeal o. other cereals un-
less they are first dextrinized. Cream
contains very little protein and should
be used in place of milk on cereals.
Knees Crossed
Question: I. J.. II. asks: us 1t
harmful to sit with the knees
crossed?"
Answer: It Is not harmful to sit
with the knees crossed. However. 1t
is better not to sit too often IN this
position with the same leg crossed
over, or most of your weight Will be
carried on one side of the pelvis and
this may result in some slight mis-
placement Of the lumbar ~vertebrae
or sacrum.

Editorial Comment
Spare the Evergreens
(Beach Advance)

(BeaCn ADVANCED
The Dickinson Yard and Garden club, which did so
much last summer to add to the beauty Of the homes and
public places Of that city, is wor:.,,g in good shape this
year, backed up by most of the citizens, all of whom
seem to take great pride in the appearance OF their city.
In addition to home work. the Yard and Garden club
has issued an appeal to surrounding counties in which
exist sections Of the Bad Lands, to take steps to stop the
whole denuding of the Bad Lands of evergreens by per-
sons who have no regard for private property rights.
The ravishing from the hillsides of these beautiful trees
Is being done on a wholesale scale by parties making
a business Of selling the trees to Others, often as nursery
stock.
The club asks county commissioners to pass resolutions
condemning this practice and states attorneys to pros
ecute the parties guilty of it, but, while in hearty SYM
pathy with the idea, we see no way in which resoluting
by the commissioners would do more than call at
tention to the evils of the practice, nor is it apparent
without complaint by the property owner. At any rate
the wholesale removal Of these handsome trees without a
permit from the owner should be stopped in some
manner.

years ago. is the first subject Of earnest negotiations be-
tween Egypt and a foreign government. The Egyptian
foreign minister, DR.. Hafiz Afifi. recently went to Ber-
lin to begin negotiations for the return of the head of
this queen, considered to be the most beautiful piece Of
ancient Egyptian sculpture in existence. The head was
excavated by a German arclaeoogist some years ago.
Museums invariably arc reluctant to give up treasures.
Still, it is announced that Germany will lead the way In
extending the unprecedented courtesy, and will return
the head Of Queen Nefcrtiti.
Only when the royal and pricstly dead, now publicly
exhibited as mummies abroad, arc brought back to their
native land will Egypt sec freedom and happier days,
the Egyptians feel.

A Census Smirk at Peace
(St, Paul DiSpatch)

When the census took away from Hopewell, Virginia.
its brief distinction Of being the country's fastest grow
ing town. and gave it to Culver City. California. Uncle
Sam was spared an embarrassing situation. Hopewell
got its start by manufacturing munitions. and in this day
when America processes peace, it was hardly a proper
example to be setting before ambitious communities who
would seek to emulate the fastest growing town. It Is
well that Culver City, which had an increase of over
q thousand per cent, should take the distinction from
Hopewel, which grew over TOO per cent within a decade.
Hopewell offered a census smirk at Americas profess
sions of peaceful intentions. It was not a representative
champion in the great American population contest.
How can Uncle Sans municipal nephews feed their am
billions on a diet of war materials? That would hardly
be In accord with the spirit Of the disarmament confer
ence which. like the census, was an outstanding event of
the year 1890.
The census should be revealing a country that is bus
lily beating swords into powshares. Instead, it displays
an array of rural towns which have :uffered a dwindling
population because they placed their reliance on the
plowshare. It also came very near to giving the cham
pionship for growth to a town that has been beating out
swords.

Amenities in the u. S. Senate
(Chicago Tribunc)

VCnCdRO TflbUncJ
The United States senate has been known as the best
club in the world. That was its distinction after 1t had
begun to doubt that 1t was the most dignificd delibera-
tive body. Even the newer renown is fading out and
nowadays the Conscript Fathers can feel that they are
just as much protected by the amenities of life as Moran
gangsters would be in cutting into Caponc territory.
They enjoyed raiding letter files to discover what they
could turn up of a confidential nature embarrassing to
witness stand victims confronted with their pilfered per-
sonal belongings, but it is something of a different color
when their own desks are ransacked by unknown hands.
Disconcerting lists Of names must be suppressed to keep
the statesmen themselves from pain. Two senators have
lunch together and at the next sitting of the chamber
one turns the other up as having intimated he could get
a federal Job II he voted to confirm a nomination to
office.
The Conscript Fathers have become stool pigeons by
choice. moralists who find that to be truly good they
must abrogate the normal decencies Of life. Presently
when one senator sees another he will climb a tree and
yell for help.

apparently with the sole object in
view Of tempting the appetite of the
diner to overeat. You will find that
your friends are usually considerate
enough to be willing to serve the
foods that your diet list calls for.
Diet is no longer considered a fad
except by old-fashioned people. and
you need not feel ashamed of saying
that you desire wholesome foods. Any

STICK TO YOUR DIET

Few people have the will power to
adhere to a regular diet. There are
50 many temptations on every hand
that n requires a good deal OF UNI
common sense to stick to the courage
full Of tasty dishes; stores show q
display of highly colored and deli
ciously tasting foods which in many
cases are quite injurious to health.
A business mar will realize that to
be successful he must adhere strictly
to certain business principles, but this
same business mar who would not
change his system because Of a. pass
ing whirn may sit down to a friends
table and forget all his dietetic rules
and eat foods which he knows to be
harmful to him. Even a chemist who
understands the rules of food chem
istry may need only q little urging
by some friend to put into his stom-
ach an inharmoniouS conglomeration
Of soup, meat, bread. pie and coffee,
though he knows it Is a bad mixture
from g. chemical standpoint.
Some people seem to think that as
long as they eat foods which are pre-
scribed for them in a diet that they
car eat anything else as we'll. Only
a short time ago I placed a woman on
an orange juice fast, telling her to
take a glassful of orange juice every
two hours. The next day she came
back with the query of whether she
should take her meals between the
orange juice feeding or at the am
time, and she seemed surprised when
I explained that NJ other food should
be taken while on the fast.
If you are following any kind Of
diet, I would advise you to stick to
1t absolutely so that you will then
have a chance to see whether or not
it is beneficial for you. If you eat
candy between your meals, or use
coffee or sugar when you are not
supposed to, you have only yourself
to blame II the results are not as
you desire. If you are forbidden
bread and pastries for some reason,
avoid them il you have any conf
dence in your doctor. It is not just
to him or to yourself to take his
advice, do what you please, and blame
him for the consequences.
Those who are trying to live on
diets such as I recommend in this
column need not have difficulty in
selecting a meal of good combinations
either at their friends houses or at
restaurants. Usually there is a large
variety of foods from which you may
choose-three or four good articles

Egypt Cries for Return of Dead

Egypt at last has developed a grievance out of the
spoliation of its tombs and mausoleums. It wants its
dead back. 1t sees in their removal the source of a curse
it feels is on the land, fallen. as it has, from its ancient
high estate in civilization and empire.
The dead of Egypt possess an archaeological interest
that does not pertain to the dead Of other lands. The
high skill in embalming which Egypt possessed has pre-
served its dead better than those of other nations. Then
the tomb establishment which was the practice Of the
dwellers along the Nile, especially in the case of histori-
cal personages, lends interest to the defunct laid away In
them. There is historical and photographic data about
the resting places Of the munmies Of the land OF the
pharaohs. Science is eager to possess itself of specimens
of the dead as exhibits of the ancient culture and ciyili-
cation as far back as the time Of Moses and even farther
back.
That is why Egyptian tombs have been ~plundered and
pillaged by the modern peoples. What would European
nations say if the tombs Of Charenagne, of the Popes,
of English kings, of Spanish conquistadors had been sim
ilarly stripped? What a tremendous wave Of indigna-
ton, for instance, would sweep through the religious
world if the bones of the Christian saints and martyrs
In the catacombs Of Rome and elsewhere were removed
and placed on public exhibition in museums.
The first outward expression of this new sentiment in
Egypt manifested itself while public pressure insisted
that Tutankllamen's mummy must not be removed from
its magnificent royal chamber Of death in the tomb in
the Valley of the Kings, near Luxor.
The second manifestation was the refusal of King
Fuad and the Egyptian government of the $40. 100000 Of
fered by John D.. Rockefeller for a new museum and in
Institute Of Egyptology in Cairo. under conditions which
meant international control Of the museum and arch
aelogical excavations in Egypt.
There was some criticism to the effect that Egyp: has
thrown away" 100000 Others felt that King Fuad
and the Egyptian government displayed a highly COM
mendable wisdom in encouraging the new spirit in
Egypt. and in placing national ideals above material con-
alterations.
In line with this, Queen Nefertiti, who re,sned $500

position specially created for him. He
va given a stipend to enable him to
devote his time exclusively to re-
search. In 1923, two years after he
received the Nobel prize. he accepted
the chair Of physics at the University
Of Leiden.
The work by which he is best
known, the theory of relatively, is re-
garded as the most important contri-
button to physics since the discoveries
Of Isaac Newton. He also devised a
satisfactory explanation of the phe-
nomenon known as the Brownian
movement in liquids.
