Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 4.r-No
confirmation is obtatnable of reports
that the administration is considering
relaxation of restrictions on trading
In securities The story bears all the
earmarks of wishful thinking, and
yet 1t would be logical, the market
being in the state it is, for the Federal
Reserve to ease up on margin re-
auirments.
No one can pretend that stock
speculation is absorbing credit that
should go to agriculture or industry.
and if it is proper to intervene to pre-
vent runaway in stocks, some move
to check drastic decline could be
justified.
The only real threat is that of q
sudden wave of foreign liquidation.
There is little sign of that now, but
1t might come if the international
situation took decided turn for the
worse, Conceivably, foreign interests
might prefer to hold capital in liquid
form rather than in securities.

Madison in retaliation for the close
confinement by the enemy Of Amer

The institution was raked at least

They Are De-LOvely

Several years ago, while scoutmas-
ter, I saw an article in magazine de-
scribing a test that had been con-
Quoted among group of people where
in the question was asked: "What are
the ten most lovely things of which
you know" Some of the replies in
cluded "Rustling of leaves under
your feet; "the sunset; "the sun
rise"; a rushing WATERFALL" etc.
1 decided to ask the scouts the same
question. The answers I received have
been stored away for several years,
and being unearthed the other day
when going through the drawers Of
my desk, they appeared funnier now
than they did at the time of their re-
ceipt.
Many of the boys put down eating,
sleeping, playing, sledriding, camping,
and all the sports such as basketball,
speedball, etc., but there were a few
individual ones among them. They in
cluded the following: A duck dinner;
not going to school; not working; eat
ing candy; reading magazines; ma
ture; perfume; love; barrel Of oys-
tiers; a whale or fat elephant steak;
travelling; pretty girl; bananas;
communication; transportation; music;
mountain scenes; patriotic parades;
full moon on clear nights; sleeping
on Sunday mornings; snow on the
ground with moonlight; parents; rela-
tives; friends; birds and flowers; fire
in the fireplace; lakes; woods and
mountains; money; beautiful homes; a
carved wooden clock; rhododendron in
bloom; peacock; a chemical labo-
ratory; a marble stair case; tropical
lagoon; having the depression come to
an end; castor oil; education; heat;
home; health; the seasons; scouting.
Looking them over now, these boys
from IL to Is, had some lovely things
in the background of their lives.
