Chairman Jesse Jones Of the r. F.
O. said the Federal Reserve bank
of New York had been authorized
to dispose Of R. f. G. notes and
take foreign gold in payment. The
bank also has made overtures to
the Bank Of England and the Bank
Of France for the purchase Of
pounds and francs respectively in
exchange for gold. The co-opera-
ton of the French and British
banks would tend to support an
earlier White House statement that
interpretations Of this governments

erroneous. 'r>-. Il -~--~@
In washington it is the opinion
Of many observers that conservatism
In finance is being gradually aban-
doned, and that the dollar will u1ti-
mately be forced down to a 5O-cent
value. Brokers in Wall Street were
frankly confused and avoided any
extensive market operations.
Meeting with President Roose-

the gold plan were Acting Secre-
tary of the Treasury Dean Acheson,
Gov. Eugene Black Of the federal

At least some Of these gentlemen
have formerly opposed any program

President evidently felt the Warren
Rogers plan was an experiment that
deserved a trial.

President Roosevelt settled two

that the NRA would be failure If
it were allowed to become "just a

Briefly, the plan outlined is to
entrust to a national council the
code supervision authority now in
government hands. Government Of

council, and it would work in close
collaboration with government de-
partments, maintaining extensive
research and statistical stats.

TICK was firm in his arguments
IL for announcing their mar
riage He repeated 70 Eve all the
objections against secret marriages,
including the embarrassment she
would feel if her business friends
should learn Of it in roundabout
way and question her.
Dick was honest and straightfor-
ward 10 a degree that Eve at times
regarded as bluntneSs. but he had a
certain dignity that nothing could
shake and which Eve could not help
but respect.
Eve wanted each Of the events
OF her life 10 stand QUITO be re-
membered by her friends as differ
ent from the usual. Marriage Gus
toms. Dick assured her. had not
come about by chance. Their pur-
pose was 10 emphasize the impor-
lance Of marriage.
After repeated discussions and
arguments Eve and Dick COM
promised. II was agreed that their
relatives should be informed Of their
marriage but that. for the present.
Eve need not announce II 70 her
business associates.
She took into her confidence a
friend who was a promising young
artist and asked her TO design 4

Eve was silent for a while. Then
she ventwed. >hesitatingly, Dick,
do you think-well. you see this
place is quite shabby looking. oh.
I know-it has atmosphere and all
that: but. well. Id hate TO have
some Of the people know find me
living here"
I'VE wilted little before the
H question in Dicks clear, steady
eyes. What DO you propose do
ing?" he asked.
"Oh. find another place" This a
rifle defiartly.
Dick was silent. He was fond Of
picturesque old houses under ancient
trees. Eve called his attention TO
the broken step, the dismal bath
room. the unattrative kitchen.
I'll fix them up for your esthetic
friends he promised.
He was as good as his word. De-
lighted at his offer. Mrs Brooks
purchased paint and linoleum and
left Dick, unhampered by directions,
TO transform the kitchen as Eve
wished IT, The walls he painted a
creamy buff with deeper buff wood
work. Table and chairs he enam-
eled in lavender They found an
old screen in the attic, and this Eve
decorated effectively and used TO
conceal the stove and sink.
An old mahogany bookcase was
moved in to be used as a cup
board.
L love it." she exclaimed when
the transformation was complete.
1t looks like a charming break
fast room instead of a kitchen"
The gloomy bathroom was
changed into spic and span pink
andwhiteness above the base
board The Dashboard itself was
enameled black to top the black
and white block pattern of the
linoleum floor.
These were changes that would
affect the Reliability Of the apart
ment and Dick seemed to enjoy
making the Improvement. "There!'
he declared when he had finished
the painting. This is far more
comfortable than a box-like place
up three flights of stairs for the
same price. We have room to turn
around here"
