BY JANE JORDAN

surprised at the number of replies
to the smoking question.
Dear Jane Jordan - know a
woman who thinks it is vile for
a woman to smoke, but she hates
another member of her church;
another who delights in question
able stories and in running down
peoples characters, and many who
read cheap literature and whose
conversation consists of empty Cos
sip If smoking dullS the mind,
which I doubt, there are many
people with dull minds who never
touched a cigaret. I do not object
to smoking any more than object
to any of the things 1 have men
toned I some how don't care for
public smoking in women. I don't
know why. A READER.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am one of
three young married women. We
have been intimate friends for years
and years and have no need to
show off in front of each other.
We enjoy chatting and smoking to-
gether, and smoke when we are
at home alone doing our house
work. Now if we do it just to be
smart and show off, why don't we
wait until we are. with crowd, or
in public?
NOT 4 GODDESS.
Dear Jane Jordan-Odd that so
many people are against women
smoking. It's so commonly done
every day and where that nobody
should pay any attention to it. I
smoke because I enjoy it, not to
be a sport or because it is smart.
1t adds to the enjoyment of living.
1 like your column very much. You
help people to find themselves.
SINCERE.
Answer-There are plenty more
letters from the opposition which
will use later if the interest in
the subject continues.

BANK ASSESSMENT
Def IS PLANNED
Seventh Street Stockholders
Plan Test Case to
Avoid Payment.
MIR. AND MRS. JAMES REARDON.

A test suit soon will be filed in
court to determine the liability of
stockholders of the Seventh Street
Savings Bank, 1t was learned today.
A group of stockholders owning
about 65 per cent of the stock is rep
resented by william E. Richardson,
attorney, and will resist the attempt
of the Treasury Department and the
receiver, Norman r. Hamilton, to col
lect the assessment, levied July z.
The test case, it is understood, will
be brought against one of the stock
holders to be selected out of the group
represented by Richardson. This
would avoid the filing of multiplicity
Of suits.
Details Of the defense have not been
disclosed, but it is understood to in
volve certain phases of the law OF
West Virginia, under which the Sew
enth Street Savings Bank was char
tered.
This institution is one of five against
which Controller of the Currency
OConnor levied 100 per cent assess
ments, the first quarter of which was
due August 13. The other three in
stallments are due on the 18th of
September, October and November.
The Seventh street bank has a cap
ital stock of 100000, owned by 1913
shareholders
Receiver Hamilton will be repre-
sented in the new test case in court
by Angus w. Mclean and Charles E.
Wainwright, and the Controller of
the Currency by George P. Barse.

RUBBER TIRE CODE
IS SCORED BY NYE
Sees Device to Gouge Con-
Sumers in Request
to Johnson.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Nye, Republican, Of North
Dakota last night termed the rubber
tire code "a device to gouge the con-
sumner and put the small companies
out of business" and called upon Hugh
S. Johnson, N. r. A. chief, to inves-
tigate and take action.
Citing the N. r. A. price-fixing
order, he said, Millions of dollars are
thus being added to the Nations tire
bill for the benefit of few companies
who are not only reaping this huge
dividend at the expense Of the public
but who are also watching their small
er competitors go to the wall"
Often Assailed N. r. A.
Nye has asSailed N. r. A. frequently
in the past. His statement last night
included the telegraphic request he
sent to johnson and Johnson's reply:
His telegram said, in part:
Strong evidence presented me that
public Is being gouged under so-called
emergency price e-fixing order in rub
Der tire code. I understand that price
fixing agreement reached at instance
of so-called big four, who are alleged
to be controlling factor in industry
and some few other rubber leaders,
on the excuse Of preventing price war
Arrangement looks suspiciously
like a plan to ultimately eliminate
lesser and smaller tire manufacturers
who must sell at same price as big
four, who have advantage Of larger
capital and national advertising to in
sure consumer acceptance"
Johnson's Reply.
johnson replied the matter was
under advisement and that:
THE plan would preserve rather
than destroy little fellow Find it re-
lates more to the consumer due to
increase price"
Nye commented that the answer
was "inconclusive."
Price fixing for tires was allowed
on the ground that an emergency was
threatened because of destructive COM
petition. Nye said prices had ad-
vanced 80 to 40 per cent since.

TEXAN DISMISSED
IN CH|SEL|NG CASE
Ickes Fires Fred r. Deaton
for Private Letters
on Projects.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Ickes lashed out yesterday
at what he termed "chiseling" In the
Public Works Administration with the
disclosure that Fred r. Deaton Of
Texas had been dismissed for carry
ing on a private correspondence from
his residence with persons interested
in private projects in Texas"
Describing the case as fragrant"
Ickes said no one else In P. w. A. was
involved and that he knew of no
similar cases.
The Secretary said as far as he
knew Deaton had had no success In
influencing approval of any public
works project because everything
that is done is checked and re-
checked"
Deaton, the Secretary said, CON
victed himself on his own testimony"
by admitting his activities.
A group supervisor in the p. w. A.
finance division, Deaton was said by
the Secretary to be planning to enter
the bond business in Dallas.
"And one down there who wanted
to use influence up here" Ickes as
serted, seemed to know they ought
to write to him.
Ickes said he did not know how
Deaton obtained his public works po-
sition, adding that he did not believe
it would be necessary by reason Of
this case to order a restriction on
political activities among P. w. A.
personnel.
Public works is not a political or
ganization and never has been. I
wouldn't pick any of them to manage
a precinct. ! don't think they even
know where the voting places are"

DOMINICAN BOND
PAYMENT PLEDGED
Agreement Reached on Is
sues TotaIing $4,000, 900.
Time Is Extended.

The government Of the Dominican
Republic has furnished pleasant
surprise for 5000 American bondhold-
ers holding $l6,o00,o00 worth of
Dominican bonds by announcing it
had reached an agreement with the
Foreign Bondholders' Protective Couu-
ell. Inc. whereby it wilh resume forth
with the payment of interest and
amortization on these bonds.
The State Department eagerly ap-
proved this decision, which involves
re-establishment of the full treaty
situation under the convention be-
tween the American and the Domini-
can governments Of December 81. 1924.
Under the new agreement the Ameri-
can receiver Of customs is again
invested with authority to collect
custom for the payment Of interest
and amortization of outstanding bonds.
When the depression hit Latin
America the Dominion Legislature
passed q bill terminating the 1924
agreement. This has now been fully
re-established.
Bonds Extended.
The Foreign Bondholders' Protec-
tive Council, headed by Reuben Clark,
jr., former Undersecretary of State,
made a thorough investigation of the
economic and financial situation of
the Dominican republic and came to
the conclusion that If the rate of
amortization were extended beyond
the time agreed upon when the two
issues of $4,000, 900 were fioated, the
Dominican republic could meet its
interest and amortization obligations.
OF this total amount 100000 al
ready had been repaid.
The American representatives of
the Protective Council, together with
Dominican officials, worked out a
scheme whereby the bonds originally
due to mature in 1912 are extended
another 20 years. The second issue
due to mature in 1910 was extended
until 1870. The bonds viii continue
to bear 51s per cent.
Bondholders Gratified.
The bondholders are reported graft
fed by this arrangement because 1t
Is believed that with this extended
payment the Dominican government
will be able to meet its obligations
in full.
Due to the depression, the Domi-
nican government paid in 1882 and
1888 only part of the amortization
and no interest. No provisions were
made for the payment Of any part OF
the amortization in 1884 for the rea-
son that negotiations between the
Dominican government and the Pro-
tective Council were pending.
Acting Secretary Of State Phillips
said the efforts of the small republic
to meet its obligations has set an
example worthy of emulation"
