HOW ABOUT A COURSE IN GOOD CONDUCT?

Down at the University of Florida they have course designed to develop the students sense of humor. The instructor is quoted in dispatches as explaining that it is intended Ito develop the students ability to view life from the standpoint of the spectator at comedy, to perceive the comic elements in situations and in people without being upset by them and above all to recognize the comic elements in himself"
 The latter particularly is apropos We are all inclined to take ourselves little too seriously at times But along with courses in humor in our col leges and universities, how about course or twl in the common courtesies of life and how to eet along with people?
 There IS procession of youngsters coming out oi our institutions of higher learning every year. 1ine' clean cut group of young and young women They approach this employer and the other seeking admttance into the world of business. But have you noticed that approach too often resembles the reunion of couple of last years graduates? They may nave been graduated with laude honors from the school of business administration but five minutes aer entering the office they adopt the attitude of cainaradere with the employer that would expect from couple of old veterans fighting the battle of the Marne again
 It may be a little harsh, but the fact is that too many of our young men and women out of school HACK pam cvility They are not based in the funda- mentas Of good conduct True part of the blame may De Tn the home training, but after all has an institution of higher learning fulfilled it's duty when It turns young people out into the world to seek their fortunes when they are not grounded in the principles oi now to approach people and how to conduct themselves III the every day world?

This Proves that Husbands Are
 Right, Sometimes

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-This story is for men only.
 How many times, husband. have you told your wife her new hat looked like it came out of an ash can?"
 You may have been right in your surmise. James J. Wilson. As- sistant District Attorney in charge of New York's commercial rackets bureau, says so.
 Wilson has started an investiga- ton of charges by the Millinery Sterilization Commission, Inc. that hats thrown into ash cans and rubbish piles are retrieved by rag pickers, secretly bought by some manufacturers, reconstructed and sold to retailers.
 They are known in the trade as ash can hats" and the law re- quires Wilson said, that they be labelled plainly and that counters on which they are sold bear sec ond hand" signs.
 Wilson said he was informed by the commission that ash can hats are being sold as low as 59 cents. when a legitimate hat to compete with these could not be produced for less than 75 cents"
 And so, husband, you may have been right all along.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1896
 Contrary to superstition this date is read by astrologers as fortunate for dwellers on the planet Earth although certain adverse influences should be taken into consideration
 The morning hours are stimulat- ing to persons who carry heavy re- responsibilities. Executives of every rank are subject to a good planetary guidance. Governors of states should benefit, but they should safeguard their health.
 Workers should be lucky under this sway which seems to promise plenty of work for skilled hands, al- though the general tendency will be to push the human machine to the extent of it's strength. Women should stay in the back ground while the configuratior pre- vails. Those in public life should be careful to avoid mistakes, for there will be tendency to criti- size them and in some cases, to eliminate them from high office.
 Merchants and manufacturers today may have special cause to be anxious, for American coflmerce is to face strange problems.
 Farmers will profit, for there will be extraordinary demand for sim pie foods. Meats and grains will bring high prices in the winter.
 Stock exchanges are to regain their oldtime popularity with spec ulators who will find many things to hold attention through the next six months.
 Reckless expenditure of money will characterize the young ana middle-aged. Places of amusement will reap harvests next month, it is foretold.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of gain in property and friendships. For cer- tain ones secret love affairs are prognosticated.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be reserved, thoughtful and given to analysis. Subjects of this sign will win fame through their superior talents.
 Louis D. Brandeis, Associate Jus tice of the United States Supreme Court, was born on this day 1858. Others who have celebrated it as "a birthday include Edwin Booth, &C., tor, 1833; Joseph Hooker, soldier, 1914.

Sh e S Not Living, Just Working - Going to
 Get Married, Too
By RELMAN MORN

Associated Press Stdff Writer) HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Nov. 12-Al- ready tired of working, Lily Pons, vivid little Belgian singer, has set the date when she will retire. It will be within five years, she said, and probably by the dawn of 194c.
 I'm not living" she explained, just working. So l quit soon"
 Her plans call for a long stay on the farm she recently purchased in Connecticut. Then, she said, she will travel for about six months a year until she has seen as much of the world as she finds interesting.
 By that time, of course, she will be married to Andre Kostelanetz, musician.
 That will be soon, I hope" she said. Surely this winter The motion picture in which she is ap- bearing now will be in production another four weeks. Hollywood friends believe she and Kostelanetz will be married as soon as it is fin ished
 Art has been a hard task master, she said,
 Ever since l began singing, my work put more and more restric- tions cn my life. I couldn't eat
 he things I wanted because might injure my throat. Even now I don't go to parties because cigarette smok- ing initiates it, and I can't expect so many people not to smoke just because of me

LONGER LOANS WILL BE URGED
 ON ALL BANKS
Federal Reserve Board Ex- pected to Soon Make
 Regulations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12. - You get the idea in banking circles that the Federal Reserve Board is ex- pected to go further into farm and other real estate mortgage lending And many of them are adverse to 1t. Bankers traditionally are train ed to the belief that the best bank Is a liquid" bank with a note pouch full of good 90-day commer- cial and industrial loans. In ordi- nary predepression years that con- stituted a nice chunk of bank busi- ness, bringing in five and six per cent with no great trouble about collections.
 But during the depression that business dwindled to small pro- portion of it's original size. In its place bankers have either idle money or perhaps Government bonds. which pay three per cent or less. No ripe porfits in that.

Art of Drinking
 Lost in Hustle,
 Says Club Chief

CHICAGO, Nov. 12-Club life and the art of drinking have faded from the average Americans knowledge because he is in too much of hurry to get somewhere and do something says Albert Auwaerter, new man. ager of the exclusive Chicago club.
 Men join clubs to escape the rou- tine of home" Auwaerter declares, "or to mingle with their social peers and enjoy service. The youn- ger generation, however, does not even know how to order a drink.
 "The idea most young men have of party is to gulp down half a dozen cocktails and grab the hors d'oeuvres from the buffet. After the sixth cocktail they don't care what they eat"

they can lend full face value on sound ones.
 To encourage such lending the Federal Reserve Board now can name executive officers of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks who favor such a course. The board has pow CT also to name three of the nine directors of each Federal Reserve Bank, who may preach the doc Urine. It can point out that deposit insurance reduces the danger of bank runs and so diminishes the chance that long term loans will become frozen assets"
 Some observers say there is good evidence that persuasion is going on in that direction, and will continue.

like found that the steady flow of Federal money reduced their need of going to the bank for short time credits. A second reason ad- Vanced is that many retail stores and small industrial plants are squeezing along on smaller inves- tories. They are restocking from day to day rather than two or three times year. That takes less credit.
 A third reason given, and dis puted in some quarters, is that cer- tain industries, grown to nation wide proportions, are large enough to finance themselves without go- ing to the banks.
