BANKING BILL
Changes May Be Sought BY

WASHINGTON. July 8. -R-
Authoritative sources indicated
Saturday that President Roosevelt
may seek changes in the omnibus
banking bill which. as recently re-
written. would allow banks Of de-
post to underwrite securities.
He told reporters he was study
ing the measure TO be sure that II
existing laws divorcing CONNER
cial and investment banking were
relaxed, there would be adequate
safeguards against what he des-
cribed as former evils.
The 1888 banking law divorced
commercial and investment bank
ing. The omnibus bill now before
the senate after being modified IN
committee would permit banks 70
engage in the security business e

New York dispatches said Wal
Street bankers were split over the
question. The New York Times
said leading investment bankers
and dealers win try TO get the In
vestment Bankers Association OPP
pose the attempt to put banks Of
deposits part way back into the
security business" The dealers
were described as not unanimous
on the point, however.
Senate leaders who conferred
with the president said he wa:
"rasher agreeable" to the new bill:

Better Budgeting

The action of the District Commissioners in deciding
to leave to the school authorities the job of cutting the
details of their estimates for the coming fiscal year
should make for MORE EFFICIENT SCHOOL
BUDGET.
Heretofore the school officials have submitted their
estimates and the Commissioners have done the prun
ing on the individual items.
Naturally under this method school authorities hGUe
been unable protect the projects hch they cOnsdered
essential the proper Development of the school system
The tendency was to place the control OF the school
estimates under officials who while interested in the
school SYSTEM were not in as intimate contact with it
as were those charged with its administration
Under the new plan, as proposed by Commissioner
Haze the school estimates will be returned to the Board
of Education and the board will have the job of bring
ing the Individual items into line with the maximum
lump sum which the Commissioners feel be allotted
to the schools.
The school board originally submitted estimates total
ing about eighteen million dollars for the coming fiscal
year.
The Commissioners feel that under present conditions
the most that the schools be given Tor that year Is
fourteen million dollars.
Originally the Commissioners would proceed to cut
four million dollars from the school estimates.
Instead of doing that they will permit the Board OF
Education to cut that four million dollars out Of the
estimates
THIS SHOULD BE TO THE INTEREST OF THE
SCHOOL SYSTEM
And it will be unless some of the other agencies in
volved in Washingtons complicated budget system up
set the good principle laid down by the Commissioners
The Bureau of the Budget may later decide to curta
even further the IA million dollar total for the schools
and that Federal agency generally takes the attitude
that it knows about the schools than do those VINO
administer them.
Then too the estimates will have to hurdle two Con-
gressional committees both houses of Congress- and
conference committee of the two houses.
BUT IF THESE AGENCIES WILL DEPEND ON
THE SCHOOL OFFICIALS AS THE COMMISSIONS
ERs HAVE ANNOUNCED THEY WILL, WE SHOULD
HAVE A PROPERLY HANDLED SCHOOL BUDGET

THOSE VERY THINGS WHICH
FIRST DREW YOU To-
GETHER-Y OUR DISTINCT
PERSONALITIES AND THE
YSTERY WHICH SUR
ROUNDED THEM.
You had stopped being two
different, exciting persons and
you had become parts Of the
same limited, tireSome view
point. You were no longer chal-
lenging mysteries to each other.
You knew each other so well
that you had nothing to offer
each other-Simply bored each
other to tears.
You've often wondered why
most marriages become hum
drum drudgery-why most hus-
bands and wives lose allure and
respect for each other. That's
why. Familiarity breeds con-
tempt"-and nowhere so trag-
ically as in marriage. IF YOU
WANT TO LOSE YOUR MATE,
HOLD HIM TOO CLOSE.
After he was gone, Frieda
Lawrence wrote a brave and
beautiful book about her mar
riage. D. H. Lawrence was, as
you know, a great and difficult
geniuS-frail in body, sensitive
and morose in spirit. Their
love cost them heavily. 1T
was" she says, "a hard life
with him but a wonderful one"
And the secret of that wonder
was their respect for each
others individuality.
A Good Rule
"As for pretending to under
stand Lawrence or to explain
him." she writes, IT am neither
so impertinent nor such a fool.
We are so much more than we
understand. Understanding is
such a little part of us; there
is so much in us of unexplored
territory that understanding
can never grasp. L only know
that felt the wonder Of him
always"
She felt the wonder of him
always. She didn't insist upon
dissecting it. .card-filing it,.
branding it with her own copy
right. She let it alone-mar-
veled at it-thanked God for
it! And so was refreshed and
enlarged by its beauty, in spite
of poverty and pain.
A good rule. Try it on your
own life. Try, just for once,
leaving the other fellow alone

chance to meddle in the other
fellows affairs. boss his pro-
gram, monopolize his time and
attention. Nothing, of course,
could be more fatal to love.
For the basis of love is the
freedom of the individual spirit
and the mystery which sur
rounds it.
You fell in love with John,
Mary, because he excited your
curiosity, challenged your abil-
ity, made life seem larger, live
lier. He was new, different
a separate person. He stood
apart from the accustomed
things of your exiStence-the
old habits, familiar people.
Living took on new dimensions.
You discovered things in your
self which you had not known
before-emotions and ambitions
you did not suspect you pos
SeSSed.
All these things John did to
and for you, Mary, because he
was himself. Then you were
married. And forthwith, like
every other wife on earth, you
set to work to make John over,
to make him part Of yourself
instead Of allowing him to re-
main the separate and distinct
person he had been.
Remodel
You pried into his most init
mate thoughts-meddled with
his personal affairs. You felt,
in fact, that he should no
longer have any affairs Of his
own. Marriage makes a man
and woman one" you cried.
IF you love me, you won't want
to keep anything from me-"
All of which was very delight
full at first. You poured out
your very souls to each other
shared every thought-gave up
conflicting interests and friends
tried in every way to make
yourselves as much like each
other as possible. Boasted OF
your successful marriage"
But pres emily a shadow
dimmed the glory. John be-
came bored, reStive, resentful.
You became suspicious, irritable,
filled with self pity. How could
John act that way after all
I've done for him?" Marriage
was definitely going on the
rocks. He blamed you-you
blamed him.
BUT WHAT COULD EITHER
OF YOU EXPECT? BETWEEN
YOU, YOU HAD DESTROYED
