than it would be in an ugly voice.
Voices are often made beautiful by
imitation. Pick out beautiful voice
near you and try to initiate it when
you are alone. But there are other
things you can do to improve your
own voice.
Try to speak in low tones. You can
be heard better If you speak low and
clearly than if you speak loudly and
indistinctly
Breathe deeply until you can feel
your abdomen moving, before you
speak This will have a double effect.
1t will relax you SO that your voice
will come out more calmly and smooth
ly and it will give it deeper, richer
tone.
Words are valuable and beautiful.
Try to feel the beauty and value of
individual words. If you do you will
speak each one distinctly. If you say,
"Watchagonna do?" no training in the
world can make it sound lovely or
charming If you say instead dis
tinctly, What are you going to do?"

thought he "All / saw were those big

So very, very cautiously Chatterer
crept to a point where he could peep
out, yet be safe. At first he saw no
one Then, with just the faintest gasp
of sheer surprise, he discovered sitting
motionless on a big stone of the old
wall, watching the opening through
which he had dived to safety, big
stranger wholly unlike any one he ever
had seen in all his life.
What a face!" thought Chatterer
What a facel I didn't suppose there
was such face in all the Great World.
If it were round I would say that that
fellow is an Owl, but it is long rather
than round And what long legs! The
legs of all the Owls 1 know are hidden
by long feathers when they sit, but
this fellows legs have such short
feathers that they look almost bare.
And what big feet and long, sharp
clawS!" Chatterer shivered as he
thought Of how narrow an escape from
feeling those claws he had had.

had turned his head. He had turned

Just then Monkey-face, for that is

Chatterer the Red Squirrel is, as you
know. a small person. He is the small
est of that branch of the Squirrel fam
lily known as Tree Squirrels, because
they make their homes in and spend
much of their time in trees. But he
makes up for his small size by his
quick wit. Were it not so he would
have been caught by one of his hungry
enemies long since. He thinks quickly
and moves quickly, as those who have
tried to catch him well know. He is
smart and he knows it. Perhaps it is
this knowledge and his confidence in
his quick wits that made him the saucy
little rascal that he is, for there is no
more impudent little person in all the
Green Forest.
Now as Chatterer, all atremble from
his narrow escape from great claws that
had all but seized him, crouched in the

Warm-Oil Treatment.

Dear MISS IeeQS-belnR an inter-
ested reader OF your most helpful COL
umn, I should greatly appreciate it If
you would print as soon as convenient
falling hair and dandruff. Please state
how much oil to apply, how long to
leave it on the hair, how often to apply
it, what kind of soap to use and what
kind of oil? Thanking you for your
advice. and with best wishes for the
success of your work. A. H.
Answer-Thank you for your good
wishes. 1 am sorry that you did not
inclose a self-addresed, stamped en-
velope with your request, then you
would not have been kept waiting for
my reply. This treatment has been
printed several times recently. You
may use equal parts of olive oil and
mineral oil plus few drops of oil Of
pine. Warm the oils. About two table
spoonfuls would be sufficient for one
treatment. Apply it to scalp as hot as
can be borne comfortably without burn
ing the scalp. Leave it on the nair and
scalp half an hour or overnight If the
hair is exceptionally dry or if there is
much dandruff. The oil will soften
and loosen up the dead scalelike skin.
Shampoo with liquid tar soap. CASTLE,
olive oil or cocoanut oil liquid soap.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Give
the hair and scalp an air and sun batL
every day. Use stimulating scalp
tonic two or three times a week. Here
is a useful opS .hLv your druggist will
mix for wa 80 grains Salicylic acid,

struggles for expression.
1t is probable that she is engaged in
some business work that she has been
able to do successfully. This CONNER
cial tendency is the more practical and
matter-of fact trait in her character.
Along with her business abilities would
be a capacity for attention to detail; a
tenacity and determination which would
probably qualify her for some executive
position.
In apparent conflict with this busi-
ness and work a-day side of her nature.
there is a seeming love Of the beautiful
and artistic She, perhaps, is deeply
moved emotionally by music. Painting
and poetry may give her a pleasure
never found in her world of business.
1t would not be amiss if she could
! combine these two divergent traits OF
character in some vocation that would
give expression to each. Possibly the
operation of an exclusive gift shop
would give both her knack for business
and her love of the artistic means for
getting along together harmoniously.
Should this not appeal to her, it
would not be unwise to try her hand at
authorship. There are several indica-
tions of a possible ability along this
line. Verse may be of chief interest
to her, its rhythm being suited to her
personality. After solving this seeming
conflict of desires within herself, she
would probably be favored with better
health and stronger nerves.

Early Solution of Deficit Troubles

NEW YORK, January 16.-Though
no statement was forthcoming, the be-
lief was expressed at City Hall yester-
day that "a way out" of the present
financial stringency of the city govern
ment would be found soon.
Mayor James J. Walker and his asso-
ciates conferred late in the afternoon
with a banking group comprising
Thomas w. Lamont, George Whitney
and Arthur Anderson of j. P. Morgan g.
Co.; John McHugh and Winthrop w
Aldrich, chairman of the Executive
Committee and president, respectively
of the Chase National Bank, ard
Charles E. Mitchell, chairman of the
board of the National City Bank.
1t was understood the conference was
called to familiarize bankers with econ
omy measures recently put into effect
by the administration with view to OBJ
tanning loans for pressing needs.
The mayor and the bankers said
nothing afterward, but the mayors as
sistant, Charles F. Kerrigan, said the
conference was the first of several at
which efforts would be made to find a
solution.
Mayor Walker is said to have stressed
the need Of haste, pointing out that

Wednesday and must be met by ref
nancing and that this is only a small
part of the $120,O00,000 the city must
raise before the end of the year.
The economies effected in each city
department are to be gone over indfyid-

FARMERS PROVIDED
TOO MUCH CREDIT
American Bankers Journal
Holds Excess of Loans Al
most Ruinous.

The aggregate value Of all agricul-
tural crops in 1881 was approximately
s4,123,Ooo,o 900, compared with s5,S1s,-
900 900 in 1880 and $s.o8s, ,000, 900 in
1929 Prices Of farm products are now
only So per cent of the pre-war Level.
1t is becoming increasingly apparent,
says the American Bankers Association
Journal, that the disastrous drop in
prices, income and purchasing power
of the farm population is traceable to
three principal excesses. to wit:
Cd An excess of productive capac-
ity resulting from the large expansion
in acreage in the United States. Cam
ada, South America and Australia dur
ing the war when European production
was largely suspended, followed by the
re-entrance of Europe and Russia since
the termination of the war.
(2) An excess of credit used by
agriculture, resulting in a staggering
mortgage debt, inflated prices for farm
land, overdevelopment and accumula-
ton of surplus stocks of agricultural
products. The vast supply of credit
granted to the farmers by the banks,
insurance companies, Federal Farm
Federal Farm Board and cooperative
helped them, but nearly ruined them.
(3) An excess of aid" from other
directions in addition to the oversupply
Of credit. Farmers have been the VIC
tins of well-meaning but ignorant and
interference with natural
forces on the part Of their countless
friends" and their exploitation by ma
tional politicians under the guise of
remedial legislation is nothing short OF
a calamity the Journal declares.
What the farmers need is to be lei
alone and given chance to recover,
The abnormally large cotton crop last
year was a freak of nature, while this
crops of wheat, corn and other grains
were about average or even below, and
a substantial reduction in acreage this
year is assured. Future production
must be allowed to adjust itself in ac-
cordahce with prevailing prices. Th1
includes eggs, milk and poultry, ths
prices of which have declined by mord
than one-third since 1929, rejecting
overproduction.
A great deal of live stock has been
thrown upon the market because OF
the inability of farmers to meet fixed
charges and expenses out of the re-
duced income from crops, and l1vs
stock prices have suffered an irTegulaS
decline It is recommended by this
United States Department of Agricul~
ture that lightweight live stock b

dance and cheapness of feed, others

within two or three years, causing high
prices, from which the farmers will not
be in a position to benefit, the Journal
asserts.
