-Four Plans Proposed
For Loans 10 Small
Businessmen
Presidents Advisers
Disagree on Best
Procedure
By the Associated Press.

8y the Associated PreSS.
A high banking official disclosed
today that at least four groups Of
administration advisers are urging
on President Roosevelt different
ideas about what, If anything,
should be done about loans to- small
businessmen.
The official, who asked that his
name not be used, said the ideas
have simmered ever since last Feb
ruary's small business convention
here, but proponents Of the various
ideas recently have become more
active.
He said no one knew whether the
President would do anything about
the proposals. The plans and spon-
sors were described briefly as fol-
lows:
l. Chairman Mariner S. Eccles of
the Federal Reserve Board wants
banks encouraged to make long
Ing and consolidating under Federal
Reserve control the whole system OF
bank examination, now dispersed
among three agencies.
Regional Credit Banks.
2. Chairman William o. Douglas
Of the Securities Commission and
Assistant Secretary A. A. Berle of
the State Department want the
Government to set up regional in
termediate credit banks to make
loans on easier terms.
3. An unidentified group of Off
cials proposes a new Federal cor
poration to insure capital loans made
to business by banks, similar to the
Federal Housing Administration,
which insures real estate mortgages
of banks and building and loan as
sociations.
4. A group of officials in the Con-
troller of the Currency Bureau and
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
believe the administration already
has done all that is economically
safe for the stimulation of loans.
r. F. G. Loans S15O,OOO,OOO.
The various factions disagree on
whether the banks are making any
substantial amount of business loans.
The R. F. c. has loaned about
e150,000,000 to businessmen since
February, in deals where banks re-
fused to supply the money. In
most Of these cases banks had re-
fused the applicants, because they
considered the would-be borrower
was a poor credit risk. Chair
man Jesse Jones said yesterday the
demand for business loans had de-
creased sharply. He called it sign
Of better business.

L the great compensation for the time
one spends in school, or-so we are told
by some of the young people we meet
on these momentous occasions. They
must have a personal invitation from
some responsible adult, who is usually
mothers friend, before they are given
permission 70 leave; then the chaperone
will accompany them on the trip and
turn them over to the friend who makes
it a point to meet them at the train
and take full charge of them from then
on until they are safely back in school
Sunday evening.
When you have the pleasure OF en-
tertaining one of these girls, be sure and
tell her to bring another girl, or several,
with her as they, and you, will have
more fun and there will be less formallty.
When there is just one girl, you must
give her your whole time, but with her
friends about, you may have moment
to relax. You will need it, as you know,
if you ever tried to follow (not gulde)
them about the stores for shopping, then
to some smart place for lunch, followed
by matinee, and tea before 1t is time

Appreciation

Though prejudice perhaps my mind befogs'
I think know no finer things than dogs:
The young ones, they Of gay and bounding heart
Who lure us in ther games to take part
Who with mock tragedy their antics cloak
And, from their wild eyes tale, admit the joke;
The old ones, with their wistful, fading eyes,
They who desire no further paradise
Than the warm comfort Of our smile and hand
Who tune their moods to ours and understand
Each word and gesture; they who lie and wait
To welcome us-with no rebuke If late.
Sublime the love they bear; but ask to live
Close to our feet, unrecompensed to give;
Beside which many men seem very logs
think know no finer things than dogs.

there usually isn't such a re-

If one goes to the debut, one
leaves ones card. Since you
cannot go, you should send your
cards so that they will arrive on

one for the debutante. If you
are married, you send two. of

RARE CASE

I've mentioned this case partly
because it's a rare and interest
ing one, partly by way OF offer
ing comfort to those of you who
probably haven't realized that
the one-sided battles you have
been in the habic of waging, in
regard to domestic issues, aren't
after all as uncomfortable as
they might be.
For there's friend husbands
side to be considered, too. And
the chances are that when he
won't discuss the occasion on
which he hurt your feelings, he
really hasn't anything to say.
Men haven't anyt thing like
women'S ability for rehaShing
emotional situations. They want
to love their wives in their own
wordless way.
They do, of course, most of
them, love you very much, and
want you to be happy. They
are glad you can express your
selves as readily as you do. But
when it comes to being asked
why, if they love you, they were
still able to think or feel or
speak as they did, they don't
know and they can't answer and
oh! how they wish you would
drop the whole subject and let
them alone! So, in self-defense,
the husbandly face freezes.
And after all, that's easier,
isn't IT, than if the husbandly
tongue broke loose?

The Washington times., 1938-01-11

with vou' Or does he refuse
Oh. yes. I know. 1t isn't
really necessary to answer.
You've suffered, of course.
So let me remind you that
ever since the days of Adam,
silence has been supposed to be
the most formidable weapon
employed by husbands in minor
domestic wars.
TOO TALKATIVE
If tie charge most frequently
brought against wives, during
all these ages, has been that
they talked too much, the griev.
ance that women have har'
bored against their mates has
been thai they talked too little.
"If he only wouldn't be so
tight-mouthedy" IF he would
only be willing to talk things
out" Everybody will recognize
these as perfectly familiar COM
plants.
Well have to admit that it's
pretty effective-this technique
that men have passed on to
each other. In any domestic
misunderstanding, that partner
has the advantage who won't
tell where he stands, who de-
clines to say whether he will or
won't. While the impulsive, et-
fervescent wife exhausts herself
In chatter, in repetition, per-
haps in tears, the canny hus.
band strives to impersonate a
strong man who is above and
beyond the trif1es under discus
sion. And he wins.
Many a divorce, Of course, has
been sought and granted on
these grounds, Refusal to talk is
q well-known form of mental
cruelty" At home, as husbands,
men may justify the stony face
and the CLASSY eye. In court, as
Judges, their hearts get the bet
ter of them, and they prove
willing to free silence-victims
from the connubial yoke.
LARGE VOCABULARY
But now, unbelievable as it
may be, we hear for the first
time of husband who talks too
much. That is, who talks at his
wife too much. The spouse of a
well-known writer, suing him
for divorce, sets forth in her
complaint that her husband
commands a vocabulary prac-
tically unlimited"
But knowing a lot of words
and being able to use them, is,
. you will say, a writer's proper
business. True-when he's work
ing with his pen or typewriter.
But words shot around the
house like shrapnel-bitter,
sharp, wounding words chosen
out of a whole big dictionary
Just because of their deadly
properties-that'S another mat
ter. That sounds like mental
cruelty. More intense cruelty,
perhaps, than merely maintain
ing a stony face. What do you
think?
In the complaint referred to,
the wife charges that she has
been obliged to dodge many a
word used for purposes of lin
vective" and criticism" and
she finds the situation unen-
durable. So she asks for her
freedom.

equipment is arranged in the order in

"To prepare dinner, food supplies

no steps wasted" continued Mrs.
Ramirez. "The running water is with
