enough that Leland Forbes was deep
ly interested in her and that, aside
from his interest in her work, there
was a romantic interest over-shadow-
ing everything else.
Days sped rapidly, jeanette sent
many pictures up to New York to
Maxim and Company, but she did not
mention to Mr.. Maxim that she was
down in Virginia with Mr.. Forbes
himself.
Leland Forbes was quite as happy
as jeanette and more amazed. That
he would ever become the least inter-
ested in any woman was beyond his
belief. That he would fall suddenly
and sincerely in love, all in a few
days, seemed an impossibility even
then, when he knew that it was true.
He pictured an ideal life with Jean
cite Morse-if he could prevail upon
her to marry him. He would go on
and on writing his profitable volumes
about bird lore, she would go on MAX
ing photographs and drawings to il
lustrate them-and life would be
ideal.
More happy days went by. Old
Nose cleaned and pressed his black
suit to look nice while serving lunch
cons and Violet struggled gloriously
to prove that she was a marvellous
cook.
One morning Forbes, meeting Jean
cite at the hotel as usual, suggested
a picnic.
"Well go to Chimney Rock. 1 sup
pose there are plenty of Chimney
Rocks-each of the Carolinas have
one-but this one here is beautiful"
'I'll go anywhere you say, Leland"
jeanette told him. He looked at her.

"What scenery" jeanette exclaimed,
down the valley where Reed Creek
honestly enraptured by the view
wound in and out and flat bottom
lands broke into sarp lodges.
"The most beautiful scenery in the
world" Leland assured her. She
glanced down at him and he was star

"Look!" she said, pointing to the
hamlet of Kent's Mills and beyond the
town of Wytheville.

Expect Deluge Of Telegrams On New Tax Program

APPREHENSIVE
Legislators Deny Tax Bill To ! Be Postponed To Some

(By The Associated Press)


 WASHINGTON, July 12, - The nationwide offensive which busi- leaders are conducting Roosevelts new tax plan, drew expressions of apprehension today from some dem ocratic legislators.
 Considering the plan, they fore saw a new shower of telegrams pouring down as result of the country wide distribution of the statement that the U. s. Chamber of Commerce was attacking the tax program as destructive, confiscatory, and a perversion of the taxing pow CT
 Congressional leaders denied ru- mors that the Presidents plan for a "wider distribution of wealth" through high inheritance, gift and income taxes, would be delayed to a future session of congress.

construction maximum interest rate of 5g5 was allowed, plus a ser vice charge of F of l96. The mort gage insurance premium rate was l2 of lH. For certain classes of homes already constructed, the basic interest rate was 5R%6, the service charge P of l95 and the mortgage insurance premium l%.
 All such categories are now abol- ished. The new regulations provide that on any insured mortgage, the bank or other lending institution can not charge more than 5Pd, plus l2 of lfo service charge, making a maximum total interest payment of 5l2%. All mortgage insurance pre- mium are to be collected at a set rate of l2 of 1%6 irrespective of the type of residence against which the mortgage is placed
 Heretofore there have been two sets of application forms-one for new and one for existing construc- tion. Henceforth a single standard form will be used"
 The new regulations are similar to the ones they supersede in that they provide insured mortgages must be confined to dwellings hous- ing not more than four families, having not more than 25% of the floor space area devoted to business purposes and in other respects coIn- plying with the property standards of the Housing Administration.
 Mortgage funds, MT Pegues said, will continue to come from private financial institutions approved by the Federal Housing Administration
 Tn many ways the new regula- tions will serve to make the mutual mortgage program more effective and I am confident that Alaskans desiring to build new homes or to mortgage existing residential pro- perty will find the Federal Housing Administration plan offers the ideal solution to- their problems" declar- ed MT Pegues.
