Dear Jane Jordan-I am a high school
girl, rather above average on looks and
popular, especially with boys. 1 make
grades without effort. I've never had a
date in my life. I've never been out at
night, even with a group of boys and
girls my own age. I've never had friends
at my house. ] have to fight hard for
my few privileges I've never had the
good times other girls have had nice
home; yes. and lovely clothes. but I live
lonely secluded life with my elders.
Because I am attractive and popular
at school, my classmates take II ior
granted that my social life also is one to
no envied I've stopped trying to ex-
plain. But when I hear the gay chatter
ahont parties and dances and dates with
how friends. I am an outsider, and it is I
who envy those about me.
LONESOME AND BLUE.

MORATORIUM IS
Asked by Massachusetts,
HOME BUYERS

Boston State Treasurer Chas.
F. Hurley is out to secure a mora
tOrium for home buyers who are
unemployed and therefore unable
to keep up their payments.
81 suggest, says Hurley in a
letter to Gov. Ely "that the banks
of Massachusetts, declare a mora
forum on mortgages for two years
on real estate loans made to those
who are unemployed and are tenn
porarily unable to make payments
ON such mortgages as a result of
unemployment"
The chief beneficiaries of such a
moratorium would be the persons
who are buying homes on the in
stallment plan.
Mr.. Hurley also urges that the
rate of interest on such loans be
cut from SO to so on the ground
that savings banks have lowered
the interest rate which they pay
depositors.

AIR LINER
HANNIBALFALL

Croydon, Eng, Aug. g. The
220O horsepower air liner, Hanni-
bal, one of the worlds largest and
most luxurious, crashed near Ton
bridge today carrying Is passen-
gers enroute to Paris. None were
seriously injured.
The crash was the result of 81
multaneous failure of two of the
four engines. The wing and the
undercarriage were smashed.
The liner had been hailed as one
of the costliest and largest in reg
ular transport service. It's estimat-
ed cost was $175,OOO and its weight
was 10 tons.
An eye witness described the
thrilling landing of the Hannibal,

We may get over our difficulties,

SETH TAYLOR'S
OLD Horse
Laid TO REST

LONG BEFORE Seth TaylOr's
Old horse died had the city of
PlntywOOd been looked upon as
crave yard, but not until the old
nag died was the city turned in
70 an actual burial ground.
When Seth's faithful old horse
drew its last breath Seth shed a
few tears then he buried the
animal below the pigweeds and
histles growing inside the city
limits.
Burying dead horses in a
dead town is dead wrong so the
Judge said and gave Seth a SO
fine, but suspended the fine,
which was not so hard on Seth
as the SIS he had to dig up to
pay for his lawyer.
It has not been learned yet if
the weary old bones must be dug
up and tOted to some other rest
ing place, or whether they will
be allowed to remain where they
are beneath the "pisOn" weeds
