No Falling Off in Writing
of Love Letters.

An exhibition of love letters writ

has been attracting attention in New
York. The idea Of deeiphering with
ones eyes what Lord Nelson
wrote to his dearest Emma or of
examining what the ancient Renja-
min Franklin told some rench w0m-
an stirs the imagination. Even the
best ~brought-up are conscious of the
need of self-restraint when the hand
writing of others is set before them.

dates OH the epistles whirh should
be found in any proper attic are
rather ancient. Telephone and auto
mobile accomplish much of what a
undertaken by pen and ink a few
years back. Yet, as other forms of
letter writing decline. the love letter
increases. 1t has prevailed among
the young wherever there las been
separation.
Throughout the greater part of hui

ties to draw on Federal funds when by
50 doing they would be doubling the

adding that unless the situation Is
remedied they believe the success OF
the entire recovery plan will be
threatened.

question before the conference. B. F.

citing the wages established by the
codes for II industries, pointed out that
not a single one of them conceded with
the minimum wage prescribed for pub

piled that in arriving at the Ascent
