RODGERS ROMANCE .

Girls Kin Insist Wedding to

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, March 14.-The frustrated
romance of the young titled Italian,
the Marchese Lorenzo Solari, and
Alicia Rodgers, 10, granddaughter of
the late American Ambassador to Italy,
today apparently had become an inter
| family dispute.
The family Of Miss Rodgers yester-
day said the young couple would be
married as soon as the necessary for
malities could be arranged.
The marcheses family apparently
was standing on its assertion of Sat
llrday that the young people had not
eloped and that there would be no
marriage.
Both Back at Home.
The only agreed facts were that the
marchese and Alicia were back at
home with relatives.
Miss Rodgers was with her grand
mother, Mrs George Won L. Meyer,
widow of the late ambassador, and
her aunt, the Contessa Brambilla.
I'VE really opposed the marriage"
| the contessa said, "only because We had
no desire for Alicia to marry into a
family that objected to this marriage.
But youth is youth-and the young
people, because of opposition from both
sides, took matters into their own hands
and ran off together Wednesday.
I'VE would have preferred a normal,
dignified wedding, Of course. Since the
| young people are in love with each
other, we expect they will be married
shortly
The young marchese Is % years old,
and therefore over the age of the re-
cent marriage law and needs no paren-
tai consent. He is now with the militia,
but various formalities, such as publi-
cation Of the banns, as required in
Italy, doubtless will be arranged soon"
Disagree on His Age.
Saturday the lads father, head of
the Marconi interests in Italy insisted
the marchese was Ill and under his
care, adding that elopement reports
we're absolutely false.
II am unalterably opposed to any
such marriage and it will not take
place." he said. MY son has not tried
to get married. He is only 20 and has
military service to do"
The two families apparently dis
agreed as to the youths age.

Investment and Success.

This is a hard-headed letter, free
of emotion or elation. Not to hoard
is actually to be benignly selfish.
At no time during the decline Of the
stock market was I tempted to sell
nv securities, even when current
market values were lower than those
that prevailed when I purchased
them. Let 1t be said at the Offset,
however, that my purchases were
not speculative, nor was there any
margin tied to any Of them. I
bought them to hang on to. Twenty
five shares of copper stock have
carried through one war and two
depressions.
$50 long as there is copper in the
ground Omitted States domain), peo-
pie to mine and industry to use It,
those shares will be good. The cop
per industry can keep that money
buster than I can, and yet 1t re-
mains my money. When I do want
it I will reap not once my original
stake but several times that stake.
People who are now leaving their
money with, say, the electrical in
dustry. will aid In discovering new
uses for copper, and there you are!
MY dollar helps the other investor,
and his helps me- Both industries
gain, also.
"I don't mind having my money
in banks and In industries-out OF
range of the naked eye. Should
the country go bankrupt, that same
money would be no more valuable to
me because it had been boarded IN
nraoIyU nnQrd in
my floor. Just because 1t had re-
mained under my thumb would be
no guarantee Of maintained value.
The value Of money is directly de-
pendent upon the health and secur-
ity of the United States of America
that is, the Government. SO long
as the country is whole the money
will be worth something-and my
money will not be worth more or less
than the money Of someone else:
If the country falls, my money Will
not be worth grain of sand.
Given the choice of risks, elect
to have my dollars out from under
my feet instead of boarded. A dol
lars worth of loose change in my
pocket (for carfare, newspapers shd
lunch) and a check book In my
pocket, with people around me VINO
are ready to honor my checks. Is
all I ask. That's all any fellow
can ask.
"I haven't got time to keep my
dollars out of mischief, there are
so many good and trained bankers,
railroaders, shippers, industrialists.
ETC., who can devote all Of their time
to that job. Let them make my
dollars stop loafing have already

ATLANTA FEEDING

City Surprised at Large Num-
Der Dependent Upon
Public Charity.

ATLANTA, Ga, July (N.A.N.A).-
Unaccustomed to the severer hardships
among the approximately half million
population of the metropolitan area of
the city. Atlantans have awakened TO
find confronting them one of the most
bewildering human problems within a
generation-the immediate need Of
feeding. clothing and giving Of shelter
to almost $4,000 destitute persons with
in the confines Of Fulton County, or
Greater Atlanta.
Civic pride suffered an affront last
Winter when. for the first time in re-
cent history at least, public soup ktch-
ems and bread lines were established to
care for the jobless and impoverished.
The pride of Atlanta was appealed to,
and it responded somewhat with a sense
Of shame that conditions were such that
a few thousands had to be publicly fed,
clothed and sheltered.
Politics in Background.
But the abrupt realization that l,730
persons-official figures cited by various
relief agencies functioning under the
aegis of the Community Chest-were
virtually without bread came as great
blow, especially in the Summer, when
human suffering usually is at its lowest
mark. The cause of this unusual situa-
ton is traceable not only to the general
economic stagnation but to politics as
well.
For years the Fulton County Com
mission has been appropriating funds
annually TO match other monies divert
ed by the Atlanta Community Chest for
charity relief in Fulton County outside
the municipal limits of Atlanta. Gus
tomarily this county appropriation has
been in the neighborhood CT $4,000.
which has enabled a number of i'm
portant welfare agencies to function on
a scale of success which, until the Win
ter just past, has obviated the necessity
of public soup and bread lines
Reduce Expenses.
Fulton County's government, how
ever, like governments everywhere, this
year struck the familiar financial snag
of balancing the budget" Newspapers
were agreed editorially that waste and
extravaganza existed in the county ad-
ministration, and private group Of in
f1uential citizens organized the Tax
Payers League of Atlanta and Fulton
County, which was born with the battle
cry of lower taxes and economic admin
istration. County employees were given
salary cuts avere ging 10 per cent, and
the demand for further reductions re-
suited last week in additional cuts in
salaries, amounting to S22,5 a month.
