ssShe went upstairs early. Like
a sleepy child"
Jane heard his laugh. "She is a
child-a darling child"
Then in the darkness Adelaide

upon a time you called me-a dar-

Adelaide! Don't take it like

out of my life. And you've always

"But why not have a gardener"
Eloise demanded.
"Oh, we have. But I should hate
to have our garden a mere mat

splendid ideas. We are going to

"They will never be bored" Jane
decided, with their roses and their
little pigs"
They had reached the fountain. 1t
was an old-fashioned one, with thin
streams of water spouting up from
the bill of bronzed crane. There
were goldfish in the pool, and a big
green frog leaped from a lily pad.
Beyond the fountain the wisteria

The two women sat down on the

The present neutrality act should
be wholly repealed or drasticallv
amended. In its present form It is
most unfair. According to the pres
ent law no American ship can carry
war materials to nations at war.
The warning nation must send its
own ships for war material. In the
case OF Ethiopia the result was that
Ethiopia could not buy war mater
1als here. She had no sn1ns tn
send for them and if she had had
ships Italy had her ports blocked.
On the other hand Italy could. and
oid, buy war materials here to be
used to conquer Ethiopia. The same
was true OF Spain. The Spanish
ioyalists could not buy supplies
mere for the same reason that
Ethiopia could not, but italy and
Germany, who were taking sides in
the war, could and did buy war ma
terials here to defeat the loyalists
IN the case Of Japan and China
japan bought and is buying, great
quantities Of war supplies here that
are being used to conquer China. In
eacn case our highly touted neu.
traiity law has favored, aided and
aoetted the aggressor. It's error
lles IN the fact that it tries to cover
al situations with one rule. This
cannot be done. The law should
be repealed and each case dealt
with as 1t comes up as its particular
merits and peculiar demands re-
luire.

ECONOMIC H1GHLIGHTs

Over a considerable period Of
time, the factors influencing bust
ness are almost purely economic
purchasing power, abundance OF
credit, supply and demand, labor
conditions, taxes, etc. But, as a
private research service recently
pointed out, over shorter period OF
time these economic considerations
may carry far less weight than
what might be termed an emotion
al factor-that is, the reactions OF
individuals to the events taking
place in the nation and the world
and their fears and uncertainties
as to the future.
That factor has been unusually
forceful Of late. Rightly or wrong
ly, many have become convinced
that war is inevitable. A consid-
cradle number believe that event.
ual American participation is likely.
This tragic outlook has clouded all
acts and opinions. It has lessened
our faith In the world of tomorrow.
And the tremendous worry and I'M
certainty involved has cast a
lengthy shadow over our economic
and commercial affairs.
This helps to explain the alb
normal shrinkage that has taken
place In security values. every
authority seems convinced that in
dustry in this country is in no.
where near as unhealthy state as
late stock and bond prices would
indicate. They feel that here has
been much unwise panic selling.
and an equally unwise disinclina-
ton OF potential purchasers to buy.
Economic factors dictate that point
OF view. But, logical as they NAV
be, they have little weight 1t pres
ent when pitted against the emo
tional factor. Many people assume
that the outbreak of war would
send security values crashing down.

LIGHT AND POWER: This in
dustry is still perplexed by it's po-
lit1cal problems, notably that o!
just how much farther government

been a considerable amount of pri-
vate expansion, however, due to in
creased demand for electricity by

Gently took a sharp decline, due
primarily to sharp reduction in
soft coal production, as result of
labor troubles. The immediate fu-

troubles will continue.

sales, and summer business, as fig
