America, and the world its fondest
treasure, the baby.

mysterious disappearance. What shall

communicating with man, Commune

heavenward In prayer to God that the
demon In those individuals who have
perpetrated this most hideous crime

Negroes Loyal Servants
For Over Three Centuries
To the Editor of The Star

10 the EDITOR OF The Star.
In these days during which kidnap-
ing has become more frequent and
larger crime every family should look
well into the loyalty OF the servants
they employ. Ever since 1919 Negroes
have served and nursed the children Of
this Nation, and 1 do not know of n
single case OF kidnapping to be charged
up against them. This may not be en-
tirely true. but certainly there are no
outstanding incidents.
The present period of unemployment
has been hard upon the Negro worker.
Household jobs have been taken by
others, many Of whom are not Ameri-
can citizens. Service In hotels and
apartment houses has passed from
them and it becomes difficult to meas
ure the sufferings of the least COM
planning and most loyal American citi-
zen.
No one Is accused. No one Is at
tackled. In this present ece->emic strug-
gle the survival of the favored. vet not
always the fittest, is playing q great
part, but We are impressed with the
idea that it is more human. more AM
erican to make as many of our citizens
able to survive as possible NV faith
in America and American people Is su-
preme and believe when they stop 10
think over the matter they will want
servants whose loyalty has been tested
and proven throughout the centuries.

Straws in the Wind.

The role of being a prophet of good
times is regarded askance these days
by those who have seen so many
prophets bite the dust, and Secretary
of the Treasury Mills wisely refrains
from posing as such. But as one who
is in the best position to know he points
out incontestible facts that justify a
more encouraging view of things
The week that ended last night found
boarding decreased by s39,ooo,oo0, CIV
ing substance to the theory that an
organized effort, such as has been put
forth by the Citizens Reconstruction
Organization, is capable of tangible re-
suits. This drop in boarding is the
largest decline for a single week. 1t
can be considered in connection with
the total of more than $3.50, 900 that
administration officials claim has come
back into use from safe-deposit boxes,
from under the mattress and in buried
tin cans since the high mark reached
In boarding toward the end Of January.
Last night also brought reports from
the Treasury of the oversubscription Of
the Treasury's offerings of 100000, 900
of three and one-eighth per cent cer-
tificates, maturing October is, 1882, and
of the $500, 100000 of three and three
fourths per cent certificates maturing
March is, 1933-more than 5000, ,000,0
having been subscribed for the first
issue and more than $2,45o 900 900 hav-
ing been subscribed for the second issue.
This enthusiastic response on the part
of the investing public has obviously
been interpreted as showing the conf
dence in Government securities and the
willingness of the investing public to
buy what is sound.
J. w. Pole, controller of the currency,
twenty-two-day period beginning Feb
ruary IT there have been only two ma
tional bank failures. This number is
to be compared with the seventy-four
national bank failures in January and
with the twenty-three failures between
the first and the seventeenth of Feb
ruary. The sharp decline in the number
Of bank failures is attributed in part
to the relief legislation and the getting
down to work of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, which, in the
short period of its existence, since the
second Of February, has loaned SCI, ,800,-
900 to 255 banks, many Of them in
country districts.
These are solid indications of
brighter prospects. But there still ex-
lists very plain sentiment, voiced yes
terday to the President by Charles F.
Abbott of New York, executive direc-
tor of the American Institute of Steel
Construction, that the banks are not
as responsive as they should be to the
plea against boarding, and that until
the banks loosen up" there is not 60
ing to be any real recovery.
OF course, many banks have been
and are boarding. But their policy
has only reflected the policy Of depos-
itors. When there is returning conf
dence in the banks, indicated by sue
cess in the anti-hoarding campaign,
such confidence will, In turn, be re-
flected by the banks. No sound bank
that has weathered the storms Of the
last few years and thereby justified
the confidence of its patrons will risk
losing that confidence now. They
must be shown" The encouraging
statements from the Treasury indicate
that signs are not lacking.

Comprehension of the practical value
OF money might be more general and
accurate If a picture could be printed
on each bill showing what it would buy
In terms Of the market basket. Even
this. however, would not serve to pre-
vent its use for purposes of sheer spec
ulation.

Japan, feeling unable to call off the

incidental conflicts, the broad and per-

still asserts itself.

Not So Different

They say that cynicism grows,
That life becomes heartless game,
And yet these modern bellies and beaux

A cold intelligence they stress.

For charming weddings, none the less.

Betty Lawson

Upon leaving the Lands place Mark

the box of congratulatory roses for

he headed his car for the grounds of

and the reason for the unfrankness
dated back to game of golf at the
Country club; a round played with
Betty Lawson on a drizzly day when
they had both finished with damp
clothes and wet feet.
After the game he had urged Betty
to let him drive her home quickly for
change, but she had refused to be
hurried. There was a cheerful open
fire in the club lounge and they had
sat for time before this. toasting
their feet at the blaze. He remem-
bered that Betty had rested her feet on
the hot fender, and he had told her
she would burn the sOles of her shoes.
She had burned one of them, the left
one; he had seen the mark when she
lifted her foot to feel If the shoe were
getting too hot.
This small circumstance was a suffi-
cient reason for the drive out to the
