Tobacco. Planters
Losing Money on
.Loose.Leaf Marts
Growers in Southern
Maryland Complain
About Prices

Once-rich king tobacco is taking
money away from Southern Mary
land farmers who had anticipated
burst of prosperity.
Within the first three months of
operation of two loose-leaf tobacco
markets - established in protest
against declining prices on the hogs
head mart in Baltimore-groWers in
Charles, St. Marys and Prince
Georges Counties are casting around
for new solution to their problem.
Dozens of farmers interviewed in
Prince Georges and Charles Coun-
ties claimed they are being ruined
gradually by the prices paid for their
crops.
Where they had expected at least
5 cents more for their tobacco
through sales on the loose-leaf mar
ket. they are actually receiving S
cents less, they declared. One farm
er who grows 10000 pounds of to-
bacco year says he has lost approx
imately $500 on his crop.
Collusion Charged.
Charges of collusion between buy
ers to keep prices down were fire.
quent. This charge was also made
when the farmers were carting their
crops to the Baltimore market and
led to threats of a congressional in
vestigation.
But most of the farmers can't af-
ford to complain too much about the
loose-leaf markets, it was pointed
out, because most of them own stock
in the operating company and any
repercuSsions against the market
will tend to reduce dividends.
Complain of Outsiders.
Another complaint against the
markets often heard among farmers
around the country store is that out
siders are in charge of the sales,
where it had been understood that
local people were to manage the
markets. Most of those in charge
OF the two warehouses, one at Upper
Marlboro and the other at Hughes
vile. are from North Carolina.
This is declared to react to the
detriment of the farmer, since Mary
land tobacco must be judged differ
emily from that grown further South.
Maryland tobacco, it is claimed, is
essential to the manufacture of ciga-
rettes, since it takes the place of
the fast-burning Turkish leaf. To-
bacco men in Maryland say their
own is the only really fast-burning
tobacco grown in this country.

An international correspondence
between boys, which may become
world wide, has been launched

itself into the answer YOU yourself
give to a simple question: For the
sake Of your independence are you
willing to endanger your reputation
and run the chance of subjecting
yourself to gossip?
Pretty Sound Reasons
For Conventions.
II you are prepared to take the
risk, then it makes little difference
whether you and the young man
stay on different floors in the same
hotel, at different hotels In the same
town, or in different towns. The
mere fact that you have gone away
unchaperoned for a week end pro-
vides material for gossip, and any,
thing you may do to make the situa-
ton appear less questionable will
actually be of little help.
On the other hand, If your repu-
tat1on Is important to you-and 1t
certainly should be-you would be
foolhardy not to grab at the simple
solution OF going to visit your sister
at the hotel where she is staying.
This will prevent all possibility Of
a misunderstanding by any but the
incurably evil-minded.
You will be making a concession
to the conventions, of course. But
that's something all of us must
learn to do, whether we like it or
not. And we can console ourselves
with the knowledge that most con-
ventions, even though they seem
silly to us and cramp our style,
have pretty sound reason for ex-
istence. They aren't just some social
arbiter's autocratic decree as to
what should and what shouldn't be
done. They are the outgrowth of
the experience of real human beings,
dealing with real situations, and
we're wise to observe them unless
we have some overpowering reason
for doing otherwise.

the same town?
g. Should he stay In . different

they give their approval is 1t per-
fectly all right? I am 20: the boy

see any reason why this couldn t
be worked out in accord with my
parents views. see nothing wrong
IN it, inasmuch as I have q good
reputation In this community. Our
evenings would end at reasonable
hour, would meet him some time
after breakfast, and we would do
nothing that could be misinterpreted
or considered questionable"
Relatives at Hotel
Solve Problem.
The ideal, ready-made solution OF
this problem is for you to 90 to the
hotel at which your married sister
is already staying. If you do that
she automatically becomes your
chaperon, and no one can possibly
question the procedure.
This is not question of what
is morally right or wrong. 1t is a
matter of convention, Of what "peo-
pie will think" And for that reason
it does concern others than the
members of your immediate fami-
lies.
We all rebel against conventions
at times. The realization that we
must consider other peoples opin-
ions and suspicious irritates us, par
ticularly when we know that our
conduct is irreproachable and that
no gossip Is justified.
But the fact remains that the
good opinion of our friends and
acquaintances is important to us
that spotless reputation is valua-
BILE and that some people are all
too ready to believe the worst II
given half a chance. We may not
like 1t, but that's the way human
nature works and there isn't much
We can do about 1t.
This problem, therefore, resolves
Evening star., 1939-09-05

stances. These differences express
themselves in the way they like to
have their rooms. The average
small boy has a collection of treas
ures all the way from tadpoles to
stamps, and they are as sacred as
Sunday. He also likes to show them
off. Consequently, the necessary i'm
pedimenta of the bedroom must be
relegated to the outskirts of the
room, with bed, dresser and chest
of drawers reduced to the minimum
of space and the maximum of ef-
ficiency. The floor space should be
available for play and there should
be plenty of open shelves.
Girls Feel Room
Is Stronghold.
For little girl the room is not
an arena. 1t is something that
she is ornately proud of, so she
wants it to be pretty and, above all,
she loves to feel it close around her,
as a little stronghold against the
world. She likes her bed with the
head against the wall and she wants
a dressing table as early as she can
see in mirror. She is at heart
fastidious though she may 60
through the worst tomboy stages.
She has collections, too, but she
likes hers tucked away in little
cupboards so that she may bring
them out to show only to her dearest
friends. 1t isn't that she is secretive
or selfish, but just sentimental and
wishes to enjoy her possessions with
a few, rather than exposing them
to the jeers Of teasing brother or
his friends.
With the necessary stock in trade
of good bed, chest of drawers
and chair, walls may be changed
with inexpensive paper or paint and
colorful calico or washable gingham
will make curtains, upholstery fabric
or bedspreads. A small expenditure
every two years will renew the
whole room, satisfy the childs
changing ideas and retain his un-
derstanding of color and decoration
in a fundamental manner.

Dorothy Dix Says
College Courses on Marriage
Offer Valuable Instruction

Dear Dorothy Dix: In our school
we are studying the problems Of
courtship, love and marriage, and
would like your opinion on the
subject. Do you think young people
should study these things in college,
and, If so, what are the real values
OF them in choosing a mate and
making successes Of their mar
riages? ACO-ED,
Answer think that there Is no
other one thing that boys and girls
can study that will be Of such help
and value to them as the courses in
marriage which are now being given
in SO many of our colleges. Ger
tainly there is no other subject
about which they know so little as
love and marriage. and nothing
about which they need so much in
formation. For, no matter what
else they do in life, virtually every
one Of them will marry.
While no boy or girl would think
Of becoming doctor without study
ing medicine, or lawyer without
studying law, or secretary without
studying stenography, heretofore
few have thought 1t necessary to
prepare themselves for marriage,
which is, after all, the most COM
plicated and difficult of all the pro-
fessions and the one in which it
requires the greatest knowledge and
skill to make a success.
Every one has seemed to think
that adolescent girls and boys were
given some inspired wisdom about
picking out their mates and that
knowledge of how to be a good
husband or wife came by nature,
as Dogberry thought a knowledge
OF reading and writing did.
How mistaken was this theory
and how many failures this ignor-
ance Of everything pertaining to
love and marriage has caused is
proved by our divorce records. +
believe that the young people Of
today have nothing for which they
have more reason to be thankful
than that the colleges have taken
up the matrimonial problem and
are trying to teach girls and boys
how to pick out their mates and
how to live with them in peace
after they get them.

Today the decoration in the room
Of any child the far side of the bas-
sinette begins and ends with the
child himself. Pink is not neces-
sarily for girls, nor blue for boys.
Any child with mind of his own

washy" backgrounds. They like color
and lots of it, and many of them
have an amazingly sure color sense
If you doubt this 60 to some of the
showings of children's paintings or
the development of their work prof.
ects in school.
Color is the one thing you can
secure inexpensively for your child s
room. Buy good furniture, of adult
size as soon as they are out of the
crib, and then you may develop it
in keeping with the desires and in
terest of each age by changing the
background and the color scheme.
The child from kindergarten to
boarding school should be allowed
to pick his own" That does not
mean from a handful of samples
carefully edited by you; it means
taking the child to the store and
letting him go through all that Is
offered there. The only embarrass-
1aARt this can lead to aside from
occasional horrible choices is def
mite preference for the most ex-
pensive, in which case you will pre-
sent an alternative which Is similar
and within the price range.
Decorative Tastes
Indicate Growth.
Education is called progressive. If
there ever was such a thing as
progressive education it is this
year-by-year unfolding of decora-
tive taste. There will be wild ca
pricious stages which distress you
acutely, but by trial and error in
the course of 10 years the child
will develop sure sense of what
he wants and likes. He will out
grow certain tastes as naturally as
he outgrows many other whims.
While you are giving heed to your
child's taste in decoration you can
carry it along another step and
experiment in letting them choose
their own pictures. Take them to
print shops where there are good
cheap reproductions and find out
which they like. This is the time,
too, to begin buying books for the
child, the ones that will stay with
him always. BY the same token, if
the child has the slightest feeling
or talent for music let him have
radio and gramophone, with
place for records. All these things
lead to certain decorative features
in the room, the room grows in
texture and meaning and along with
that the childs sense OF property
and stability.
Small boys just naturally take to
electric trains and little girls love
doll carriages, except in rare in

information is ever going to make
marriage a foolproof proposition.
There will always be too many peo-
pie who will listen to their hearts
instead of their heads and marry
dunbbells because Of the way their
hair curls on their necks or drunk
ards because they promise to reform
after they are married. But there
Is something cold and hard and
steadying in an array OF scientific
facts and figures that makes even
the reckless stop, look and listen
and consider the results Of what
they are contemplating doing.
Most of all, the course in marriage
will teach youngsters that success
in marriage does not depend upon
luck, but upon pluck. 1t will Danish
the old book theory that every
body married and lived happily
ever after, and teach them that II
they want to be happy though mar
ried they have to put their backs as
well as their hearts into it and be
willing to work and sacrifice and
make adjustments. That If they
are willing to do that no marriage
will be a failure. 1t Is a great
course, this one on love and mar
riage. Take it.
