Naturally my friends asked
why I didn't attend the school
activities. Rather than explain
that I didn't have the admis-

pretended indifference toward
such activities. Graduation with

Stands By Capt. Miller

There must be many nettled
browS in the office Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia Commissioners
today because Of the incident
wherein a police precinct cap
tain had the temerity to enforce
a statute in regard to the "car-
parking" ban, now a seething
civic problem in and around the
Western Market neighborhood.
For his zeal in carrying out
the law Capt. Arthur Miller I'm.
Willingly blundered to the eX-
tent Of clumsily stepping upon
the Trilbys" Of one of the god
desses Of the New Deal realm.
For this improperly the cap
tain deigned to place the Of
Tended lady in the category re-
served for the proletariat, for
which she demands the officers
removal to some isolated area
where the patrician set might
not have their finer sensibilities
ruffled.
This, Of course. is the problem
that faces the Commissioners:
Whether to stand steadfastly be-
hind the police officer or be
swayed by the tempest Of Ad.
ministration influence. It is also

without them?
Here's a problem which is
raising ructions in many a home.
Some parents will say-"We
didn't have allowances when we
were school children - why
should youngsters demand them
today?" But the situation isn't
identical.
Has or hasn't the Young Gen.

mittance?

A hint Of this hope (which will
not now be admitted publicly
lies behind the latest Roosevelt
move on Government purchases.
He has $275, 100000 to buy Gov.
ernment supplies during the next
seven months. His purchasing
agent has been instructed to
buy as much as possible within
the next month or two," which,
OF course, means less than nor
NAL buying for the remaining
five months.
In this instance, Mr.. Roose-
velt is obviously gambling on a
turn not within six months to
a year, as previously indicated,
but within the immediate future.
MORE conclusive evidence of
AVA changing thought is dis
played in the way his cautious
economic advisers now are dop-
ing out the price situation.
Their latest figures indicate
prices have been declining more
rapidly than expected. Metals,
steel scrap, rubber and hides de-
clined further from mid. October
to the third week of November,
and this drop has begun, at last,
to bring similar results in the
prices of some finished indus
trial products. Livestock and
meats declined substantially,
too.
This brought wholesale prices
down to 1871 for November, the
lowest since December last year.
Now, no one knows how far
prices must go to meet demand,
but very good inside guess now
is that the index will probably
get down to 81 or 50 before the
biggest bulk Of arrested buying
is encouraged to come into the
market, thus stopping the de-
cline.
That expected point is only
two or three points below the
existing level.
THE guess is not a wild stab
= in the dark. It is based on a
Size-up of existing stocks and
the known existing buying power
of the people. Sooner or later
this demand will unquestionably
put a bottom to the currently
readjusting price situation.
Sizing up stocks is harder than
estimating income, but there is
evidence that consumption now
actually is larger than produc-
ton in steel. The steel authori-
ties-Iron Age, for one-are say.
ing steel has hit a bottom, after
a sharper drop than in 1929-30
depression. If steel finds its foot
ing, the sentiment Of business
may be bolstered. Watch both
steel and autos for the tip.
Overstocks in textiles, shoes
and some other lines look big
now because business is bad.
But, if steel and autos bump
bottom, these other inventories
will at once look nearer normal.

 Church Societies and Romance
 Whether or not it was the inten- tion of the original Epworth League society and Christian Endeavor group young peoples Sunday night gatherings-history of the move ments show that Cupid has been a regular attendant at all services.
 Therefore, Dr. w. A. McKeever, Oklahoma City psychologist and retired college professor, whose idea it is to follow spiritual de- votionals with social affairs, is not SO much an instigator as a follower. In a straightforward manner he admits that boys and girls, men and women, ought to know one another and he will pro- vide a meeting place.
 But 1t isn't new, Dr. McKeever, it isn't new! It's been a long time since an Intermediate Endeavor society, which I knew in Ohio, played Wink" in a big circle, while girls darted from one Sunday school chair to another, squealing with delight or chagrin all depending upon the romantic status of the youth who was the winker (Wink, for some reason, is 8 game dedi- catcd to young people playing games in churcheS).
 I remember a youthful game of hide-and-go-seek which some Bible school classes of boys and girls, coming together for a mid-week social. played one night. The au- ditorium and the pulpit were part of the hiding ground. Certainly it wasn't dignified or reverent, as the official board pointed out to us, and we never did it again. quote the incident merely to show that TO- nance, from puppy love to all the later varieties, is nothing new in religion!
 Many Fell in Love
 A brief backward look shows that goodly percentage of the boys and girls in that church who
