Suggests Underpass
At Dupont Circle

To the Editor of The Times:
How long are we to wait before
some measures are taken to cor
rect the intolerable traffic condi-
tions at Dupont Circle?
Between 7:30 and 9 a. m. and
from 4 to $50 p. m, it is next
to impossible for pedestrians to
cross any of the numerous inter-
sections in and about the circle,
and motorists are forced to wait
for as long as ten minutes to pass
by it along Connecticut, Mass
achusettS or New Hampshire
Avenues and Nineteenth Street.
The North and South bound
traffic on Connecticut Avenue
seems. to be the basis of the con-
geStion. An underpasS below the
circle for both pedestrians and
motristS on Connecticut Avenue
would eliminate the trouble.

Thinks Hard Labor
Is Solution
'. the Editor of The Times:

T. the Editor Of The Times:
The recent hanging of a man
in California through error shows
that capital punishment is a great
mistake and should be abolished.
The State has committed MUIR
der and can not give this man his
life back. And there have been
many other cases where innocent
men have died. There is great
question as to the guilt of Sacco
and Vanzetti, yet they went to
the electric chair.
The only way to avoid the pos
sibility Of taking life wrongfully
is to eliminate capital punish
ment. Let the guilty be sent to
prison for life, with no hope Of
parole.
Most prisoners would prefer to
be dead than in a cell for the
rest Of their lives, put at hard
labor.
But let us eliminate the death
penalty and not violate that COM
mandment which reads:
Thou shalt not kill" o. D.

Easy money" and low interest
rates, including those on long
term investments, will be the new
financial order of the day, a high
Administration official predicted
today.
This official, while making no
prediction that such a situation
would pull the country out OF the
last throeS of the depression, did
declare. however, that without
easy money and lowered return
on capital, prosperity could not
return.
Hundreds Of millions of dollars
are being released for long term
investment purposes through a
new policy of many important
corporations.
Short Term Loans
Officials observed that some Of
these corporations are turning to
borrowing at the banks for short
term periods in order to refinance
maturing long term bonds. Most
OF this money, it was declared,
was going into the hands of indi-
VlduaiS described as the natural
investors in long term securities.
Borrowing Of about 100 million
dollars by the Chrysler Corpora
ton, the Standard Oil Company
Of New Jersey and others for
short periods was referred to as
an example Of the new tendency.
Knocks Down Rates
Experts regarded the substan-
tlal reduction in the short-term
rates as having a strong influence
IN knocking down the rates on
the long stuff
Officials attached no signifi-
canoe to recent reductions in the
excess reserves Of the Federal Re
serve member banks. Retirement
of national bank notes has had
an influence recently on these
reserves. It was declared the re-
serves would be rehabilitated
within a short time and would
rise to new record high levels

Last January it was reported a

Certain large producers of the

Planned Expansion
He laid plans to enlarge his
plant and employ an additional
$50 people at wage of several
dollars a day. He figured his
production cost to the lowest

Low Pay
They pay workmen two yen a

worth % cents. They operate to
a great extent under a sort of
feudal system whereby the head
of a japanese household accepts
a consignment of so much work
to do for a manufacturer. He
takes the materials home and the
whole family works long hours
to produce the article so cheaply
that the western world cannot
hope to compete on it.
They have abundant power

and they have modernized their
machinery to a point of high
efficiency that makes the Occi-

IT'S the women who want to be
Il popular, it seems. The men don't
give a darn. AS a consequence the
country is cluttered up with females
who 60 about eXuding charm, scat
tering sunshine and striving to
please. There are even college
courses now to teach our girls how
to obtain and retain the interest of
the gentlemen. After school, We
are pestered with rules galore and
told how to don mental strait
jackets until our very existence be-
comes an ordeal. Yet, come what
may, we do want the men to like
us. think it may be said we've al
most mastered the art of pleasing
them. That is, if we put our minds
to it. But now another competition
is begun. Now we are told it is our
duty to redouble our popularity with
our own sex.
Personally the two detectives
seem to me quite impossible Of at
tainment. It stands to reason that
if you're a great success with the
men folk you won't stand ace high
with the ladies. But nothing can
daunt the charm experts. The re-
suit is a lot more rules, most of
which strike me as being made
quate for the situation.
They've got down pat the infalli-
BILE rule for masculine conquest.
You remember it, surely: Take
care to know less than they know"
Well, the secret of popularity with
women is quite as simple and may
be stated with the same concise
ness. Here it is: Take care to have
less than they have.
Sounds catty, doesn't it? But it
works. When a friend comes to
visit you she will always leave with
a warmer feeling of affection for
you if your house is not quite as fine
as hers. That's why most Of our
efforts to keep up with the Joneses
are foolish. The JoneSes like you
better if you trail a short distance
behind them.
