Dear Miss Fairfax:

cared very deeply, and I know
she also loved me. At that time

a misunderstanding about some
thing, and since then have not
spoken to each other.
I am still in love with her,
and one Of my friends tells me
she is still in love with me. I
want to go back, but I don't
want to be the one to give in.
and she feels the same way, so
they tell me.
I've lost all my bashfulness,

is right. JOSEPH.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX :
~ I've been married four
years, and am only % years
old. I've always been told
by my friends that I'm good
looking, and I try to keep
the home looking nice and
pleasant.
But my husband pays no at
tention to anything I do, never
praises me, and instead sees only
the flaws in what I do. Do you
think this is sufficient reason for
a divorce?
SICK AT HEART.
Not unless there is more to
your story, my dear. Husbands
aren't plentiful enough for that.
If you know your husband to be
steadily and hopelessly I'm
faithful to you, consult some
wise friend to whom you can
tell everything. and who may
help along a reconciliation in
stead of a divorce.
But the truth Of the matter
probably is that your husband.
like many others, takes his do
mestic happiness for granted,
and simply forgets to tell you
that you are lovely, and that he
still adores you. A good idea
would be for you to try and in
terest yourself in some outside
activity-your church, an edu-
cational course Of some kind,
clubs. You will be happier, if
you try not to regard him as
your sole source Of happiness.

With the bottle-fed child, the
sugar has to be added because
cows milk doesn't contain
enough for all his needs. Differ
ent sugars may be used, but if
too much is given, the result is
always the same-the child de-
velops diarrhea.
Sometimes a child whose diet
contains an overdose of sugar
will gain weight rapidly. He will
seem to be in excellent health,
so much so that when he devel-
ops a bowel disturbance his
mother may not regard it seri-

There are intelligent and
thoughtful people who maintain
that a mother is able to make
a better success of a career than
q person without that divine
urge and need to protect and
shelter her young.
So the six sons have, no doubt,
a great deal to do with the sue
cessful career of the subject of
this story.
Wanted Boys
To LiUc in Country
First of all, Mrs. Rasmussen
knew she could not bring her
self to rear her sons in the city.
That, she felt, was one more
thing than she could cope with.
SO proving that there's always
a way to carry out a definite
plan she bought a farm near
Harrisburg, Pa. 1t had a fine
old 18-room house of field stone.
From Detroit came her only
sister and husband to take
care of the farm, the boys,
and pinch-hit as parents, while
Mrs. Rasmussen came down to
Washington to take a job in the
office of the International ASso-
citation of Ice Cream Manufac-
turers, where her husband had
been executive secretary.
She takes great pride in the
memory of her husband, whose
loss she has never ceased to
mourn. Coming here from Den
mark at the age of 20, he soon
had made his own way to a COM
Portable fortune, which was lost
in the disasters of 1929. Mrs.
Rasmussen decided, when he
had gone so suddenly after only
half hours illness, that the
strain and shock of that ex-
perience had affected her hus-
band more than she had known.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer,

NEW YORK, May 12.-The stock
market today resembled nothing so
much as a backward minded tor
toise.
The list shifted slightly into re-
verse at the start, extended declines
later to point or so for leaders,
then, after a moderate recovery,
came virtually to standstill While
there was a handful of gamers at
the close, fractional minus signs pre-.
dominated
With the ticker tape frequently
slumbering, transfers for the five
hours were less than 350000 shares,
another one of the low turnovers in
nearly year.
The market turned cold shoul-
, der to the apparent ending Of the
six-Week-old soft coal tieup. The
view in Wall Street was that the
outcome was a decisive victory for
the C. I. o. union forces and, some
brokers said, this may have had
something to do with dimming buy
ing ardor.
subsequent comments OF President
Roosevelt at his press conference re-
garding tax revision furnished scant
stimulation to speculative sentiment.
1t was noted the Chief Executive
indicated the Treasury would sub
NIT to congressional committees the
results of its tax studies, but that
they would not necessarily be in the
form of recommendations. The as
sertion he would favor repeal of
the undistributed profits tax, pro-
vided some other method was found
to prevent what he called legal tax
evasion by the wealthy, was regarded
as hardly calculated to buoy the
financial temperament.
Little inspiration was found in
European developments or domes-
tic business happenings.
Stocks tagging most of the day
included United States Steel, Gen.
eral Motors, Chrysler, Douglas Air
craft, North American, Anaconda,
Great Northern, Westinghouse, Du
Pont, Goodyear and Union Carbide.
An exception was Brooklyn Union
Gas, which pushed into new high
territory for the year. Resistant also
were Public Service of New jersey

Doctrine Of Force
Threatens Banks,

Currency Controller
AssoiIs Reputation
Of Obligations
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpcSldl blSpdlCN W Inc CldI.
PINEHURST. N. c.. May a.
Banks of the United States today
we're declared by Controller of the
Currency Preston Delano to be faced
with a threat" from the doctrine
that there is no power but physical
force, and that physical force is its
own justification"
This doctrine" the controller told
the North Carolina Bankers Asso-
citation, contends that you do not
have to be fair, that you do not
have to be honest. that you do not
have to keep your engagements, that
all virtues are summed up in the
phrase. BE strong' 1t is essen
TALLY the doctrine into which man
was originally born, and the extent
to which he discards it is the meas
ure of his progress. There is no
escaping the fundamental nature of
this issue. -
Banks cannot live in a world
which does not keep its engage
ments," he declared. THE effect of
wholesale reputation and mora
toria is to drive all capital into hid
ing, and to dry up that initiative so
essential to free economy.
Certain very fundamental prin-
ciples are under attack when the
head of responsible state coolly re-
pudiates the bonds of a conquered
province and carries off the gold
reserve of its central bank, much as
a highwayman casually takes pos
session of your purse"
The controller denied his ex-
aminers were responsible for an
undue construction of industrial
credit"
so far as there is dearth of
funds available for business and
industry today" he declared, 1T is
dearth of risk or venturesome
money and not a dearth of bank
credit"
His Office, the controller declared,
"is opposed to speculative use of
banking funds" but added he was
deeply interested that every con-
sideration be given to applications
for credit to the end that no pro-
posal be denied a hearing, and no
proper request be refused"
