heart"
It was rather bold experiment;
and yet she must have felt rea-
sonably sure of herself, for it
seems perfectly obvious that in
making so many tender apologies
for her former conduct, her pur-
pose was to establish an intimacy
closer than that of mere platonic
friendship.
Otherwise she would hardly
have ventured to "enlighten" him
as to how much her thoughts
had dwelt on him during some
crisis" in her early life; nor would
she have appealed to him to
treasure" what she told him in
his heart of hearts"
His ready acceptance of her
explanations" undoubtedly reas-
sured her, and it is not to be
doubted that she felt more or less
confident of her latent ability to
attract. Should she ignore the in
tervening years apd assume the
role of the coquettish ingenue of
nineteen. That seems precisely
what she attempted to do; and
such frivolity proved to be unbe-
coming to her advanced age.

Kansas Drys Take Lead in
Bringing New Woes to
Brain TruSter.

BIZ Scripps- Hotcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 15.-His adj
vocacy of the conventional trinity
of wine, women and song" piled up
new troubles today for Professor
Rexford Guy Tugwell, handsome
assistant secretary of agriculture
and leading prize of the anti-ad-
ministration head-hunters.
From all sections, but chiefly from
the area once described by Henry
L. Mencken as the Bible belt" are
coming protests against the address
in which the brain truSter" declared
that zone of the oldest and quietest
roads to contentment" lies through
the wine. woman and song trinity
The address was delivered some
weeks ago before the Women'S Ma
tional Democratic Club of Washing
ton. It excited nobody until it was
published in the organizations mag
azine, the Democratic Digest, at
about the same time the red"
charges of DR.. William A. Writ were
being aired before a house commit
tee.
Since then copies of the address
have been widely circulated among
religious and prohibition organiza-
tons. Now, when Professor Tug
wells nomination as undersecretary
of agriculture is before the senate,
his views are being used to oppose
his confirmation.
The first demand for Professor
Tugwell's resignation came from
the Rose City Park Methodist
church of Portland, Ore, which
termed the educators utterances as
"un- American" Later protests have
come from midwestern states, in

Tugwell Talk on Wine
Draws Many Rebukes

Democratic Digest, advises American
women to follow the example of
Mrs. Roosevelt and serve wine in
their homes
They should favor American
wines as much as possible" he said,
choose them with regard to their
flavor, bouquet and price and aSSo-
ciate their use with food. American
wines are good enough to stand on
their own feet without initiating
standard European wines"
Swinging into the defense of the
wine, woman and song trinity, Pro-
fessor Tugwell remarked that I'VE
have a chance, now that repeal of
the eighteenth amendment is an
accomplished fact, to establish a
tradition of wine, used as mild
social stimulant, together with good
food, good talk and good company
and, let me add, good song"

THE years had indeed wan
Il ished like a DREAM" The re-
membrance of his old love was
upon him and his pen ran on with
the abandon and indiscretion of
youth, combined with the elo-
quence of mature years.
Carried away by the vision OF
his first sweetheart, he wrote with
the power and pathos of one who
looks back longingly from the dis
NAL prison house he had built for
himself, walled in by the social
barriers and responsibilities that
he had somehow accumulated
while striving for success and
happiness.
Marias letters, reaching him in
this uncongenial state, suddenly
opened a door that he had
thought closed for ever. Through
this opening he looked back upon
the hardships of his unhappy
childhood, so long, so bare, so
blank" and thus he reviewed the
dreams of his youth-his long
lost hopes of a happy marriage
with the only girl he had ever
really loved-a train of memories
that might we'll have unsteadied
a pen in the Sturdiest hand.
The strange part of it all is,
that the charity of his heart was
such that he imputed no blame
to the one who had destroyed all
his youthful illusions. The years
had softened his resentment that
one might easily suppose he was
unburdening his soul to some
fairy queen to whom he owed all
the triumphs of his life.
1T is easy to see how fortunate
Il it was for Dickens that Mrs.
Winter kept these letters inviolate
during his lifetime; but now when
the world reads them in their en-
tirety, and with a complete I'M
derstanding of the circumstances
under which they were written,
this love story will lend an added
charm to everything Dickens ever
wrote.
No character in all his books
is so wildly interesting as he
made himself; in no book that
ever he wrote did he place the
leading character in such peril as
he unwittingly created for him
self; and no love story in history
is more filled with pathoS and
drama than his own life expert
ence.
If any one should find it diff
cult to reconcile the above i'm
passioned letter with the one he
then had in mind to write-and
did write two days later-to Ma
ria's home, it may be explained
by saying that Dickens was Moth
ing if not humanity impulSive and
romantic.
But in his eXuberance he had
brought on a situation That could
easily have been used to check
mate his whole career; for it
would have been quite possible,
even for a fair minded person, to
suspect diShonorable motives in
man who wrote two such letters
to married woman, the first to
a private address, and the Sec
ond to her home.

Gold Shares Maintain Lead
On Quiet Canadian Markets

While Canadian dominion and pro-
vincial bonds are selling at record
high prices, bonds of many Canadian
municipalities have made a poor
showing in recent years and munich
palities in Ontario have made the
poorest showing of any of the nine
Canadian provinces. Total debt of
Ontario municipalities amounts to
$504, ,750, 900, of which $4,000, 900,
made up of the obligations of 40 mu-
inequalities, stands in default. The
Municipal Association announced at
the beginning of the week that defaults
in Ontario amount to 19 per cent of
total obligations, compared to de-
faults averaging 10 per cent over
Canada as a whole.
The attorney general brought fur
ther disappointment to holders of mu-
nicipal bonds by announcing that
after November l all municipalities
will be forced to pay one-third of the
cost of relief, whether anything was
paid on their bonds or not. In the
past many municipalities which were
hard pressed financially were exempt
ed from relief payments.

BUSINESS FORCES
AHEAD HA[T|NGLY
Quick Recovery Hopes Fade,
but Tendency to Buckle
Down Is Seen.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September s.-In a
certain sense, business continues saw
ing wood, while Washington continues
seeing things.
Some of the things Washington is
seeing are the disintegration of the
N. r. A, the departure of the last die
hard conservatives from New Deal
ranks with the designations of Budget
Director Douglas and Treasury Econ
omist Stark, the ballooning of relief
expenditures during the coming Win
ter and a recalcitrant attitude of
bankers toward further Government
financing of the kind that puts the
full burden on their investment &C
counts. At the bottom of this ferment
it may be suspected that the yeast of
politics is at work, since elections are
not far distant.
Apparently on Right Road.
If one is to believe all the pessimistic
gossip emanating from the Nations
Capital concerning master minds far
out of agreement, one might be par
doned for concluding that the New
Deal is at the double-croSs roads.
But the cyclical recovery movement
in business, which a leading indus
trialist recently said nothing can
STOP" goes forward haltingly and is
apparently on the right road. Having
long since given up hope of swift
and easy return to prosperity, the ten
dency now is to buckle down and make
the most of such opportunities as exist.
And that is probably the best thing
that could happen.
Commercial loans, always tagging
behind natural recovery, are showing
signs of increasing. Bank clearings
in the latest weekly figures showed a
smaller decline than for the previous
week, as compared with last year.
Freight car loadings indicate a contra
seasonal rise. Steel production con-
tinues in declining trend, but the
downward curve has fattened out and
gains should be not far off.
Looks to Other Side.
Washington may worry about the
weakness in Government bonds, but
business is looking to the other side of
the picture-for the prospect of in
creased Federal spending which
brought liquidation into the Nations
obligations signifies increased mass
purchasing power and an impending
pickup in retail trade. Even the de-
plorable textile strike may have its
sunny side, for even though its inten-
sity fell far short of anticipations, it
has spurred buying of both silk and
cotton gray goods, which tends to re-
duce accumulationS and support prices.
Definite signs of a strong revival
Of retail buying during the Autumn
months" says the Dun g. Bradstreet
trade review of the week, already
have appeared and, barring prolonged
labor disturbances, the current rise is
expected to be strengthened gradually
until joined by the forceful momentum
Of the holiday shopping season."
