To Regulate and Control Small
Loans in This City

CONSIDERATION is being given in Congress to
~ regulating and controlling the small loan business in this
city that poor and needy people may be gouged by
orbn interest charges and in many instances numerically
defrauded.
The Bowman bill before the House District Committee
makes definite effort to protect against excessive usuy and
sharp practices permits interest charge of
coed 3 per cent month regarded by many excessive
and by others as reasonable in view Of the risks taken by
those making loans
The law Of 1911 undertook license pawn brokers
other loan agencies and to fix the rate of interest at per
month That drove pawn brokers of the city and they
have since done business here setting up establishments
near the District ne charging such rates Of interest they
pleased.
That law however and the laws against usury failed
to curb the activities Of money lenders oang
notes and promises charging exorbitant rates of
interest
The Bowman bill would put all loan agencies under def
mite licensing system controlled by licensing officials given
wide powers Of regulation investigation and prosecution
The Russell Sage Foundation supports the bill the
interest Of the poor and remedyng serious abuses and
evasons Of existing laws That be the only good
Tor such law here That there should protective

Secrets of Health
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

A GREAT deal Of time is
"A wasted each day in trying
to think Of fitting into the
routine things that everybody
has to do.
Arising. the several duties
connected with getting ready
for breakfast, the many &C
tivities that repeat themselves
daily-all these can be expe-
dited If planned ahead and
carried out faithfully according
to the letter Of the program.
But many people start their
day with confused and jumbled
minds.
They know exactly what
each situation requires, they
have again and again gone
through the same performance,
yet inevitably valuable time is
lost, not in the performance OF
the task, but in remembering
and rearranging their plan.
One commuter hurries and
worries every single morning
how he is going to squeeze in
the time to shave.
Another fretS and fumes be-

consequence of which he doesn't
turn in early enough and so
continually feels the weaken

In a quarrel a man never

ing to be more injured" if he
answers back, or more insulted
by his silence.
Most men have heart enough
to love two women, but few
have brains enough to love
them in succession, instead of
simultaneously.
A young girl likes to believe
that she is dazzling a man; an
older woman prefers to believe
that she is inspiring him.
The fine art of making wo-
men love you, as every skilled
amorist knows, consists in con-
centrating the eyes, heart and
attention on one woman at a
time.
In business or a poker game,
a man may act deliberately
and with deep design, but in
matters of love he is as ire
sponsible as a motor car on a
slippery hill.
