the present time: but he is dam
ming the water without destroying
the food. he is only postponing
initiation.
All this talk about initiation Is,
however. accomplishing some real
good OF lasting importance. During
World War | the Administration az
Washington was friendly TO bust
ness. Prices were allowed 10 take
their natural course and so up.
As a result, they went up too high
and there was a tremendous de-
cline In 1921. This sudden price
decline ruined a great many peo-
pie. Now with an Administration
at Washington which is unfriendly
to business, these prices are be-
ing kept down. This, however
should avoid a serious drop and
deflation after the war is over.
What Will Benefit From Initiation?
There are various kinds Of infla-
tion.-money initiation. credit in
flation. commodity initiation, etc,
etc. Most of these forms are gra-
dual and do not make or break
people. The real dangerous form
of initiation is-when- people get
panicky as to the value of their
paper money. Then, like a flock
of crazy sheep. they suddenly turn
to spending this money and putting
IL into real things. This is the
initiation which may come after the
war. II is a matter of psychology
and cannot be headed of by laws or
price fixing or rationing or any
thing else except faith in God and
our country.
When people lose COufttEuCe IN
the dollar and look about for real
things. they all turn first to good
furniture, wearing apparel. new au-
tos. books, rugs. etc. People with
money to invest turn to common
stocks OF companies with natural
resources, good labor relations and
whose stocks are selling at prices
below their Invested capital
value. The middle-class group
will put their money into good
real estate, If you do not own a
home, you had better buy one. If
you own a home with mortgage,
| you should pay off that mortgage.

loved and respected by every man,
woman and child in the small COM
munity from which they both came.
Too busy to think about wheth-
er I'm happy or not" Tommy re-
turned. He had settled on the
couch that Marg had vacated; now
he drew libby down beside him, his
blue eyes searching hers as though
searching, too, for the things Of
her heart that the casual look
would not reveal. Yes, like my
work. I'm Satisfaction the pres
ent. But you, libby, you are the
one-tell me, is this really what
you want to do? This flying from
pillar-to-post, your feet never on
the ground. Is it what you thought
it would be? Are you really going
on with it, now that you've tried
your wings ?"
II love it," libby said, that shin
ing look lighting her soft brown
eyes. Yes, it's everything
thought it would be. Much more,
really. I'll never forget the first
time 1 flew-that tingling sensa-
ton all the way down my spine, the
way my heart thumped hard. / get
it still, every time the big plane
starts to climb so swiftly, so sure
ly toward the sky. It's as If you
did take on wings, Tommy. It's

no words for it. Give it up
now? Oh, no"
She shook her dark curls en-
phatically, so emphatically that
Tommy wrenched his glance away.
Maybe he did not like to see that
shining look in her face. Or maybe
he did not like the knowledge that
it was flying that brought it there,
although all he said was, That's
what / wanted to know" Quietly,
firmly. as IL indeed he had had a
special reason for wanting to know
all that her look, her words had told
him.
"Of course" libby went on, still
filled with that eagerness, so that
she did not note the change in him,
at first my head was so crammed
full Of instructions-how to meet
passengers, how to regulate cabin
temperatures, how to serve meals,
that IL was all a tumble. But now
that part is becoming automatic
yet every fight is different, too.
Different passengers, different
problems-even the same scenery,
viewed from up there, seems differ
ent each time to me. There's al
ways a new thrill, new beauty"
You DO love II, don't you ?"
Tommy said. I'm glad-or 1 sup
pose I should be. At least II hasn't
changed you. You're the same
sweet kid you were back home.
Stay that way, lib. please. Promise
you will, just for me. I've a reason;
I'll tell it to you some day-R
you'll promise, that is"

badly, either, in other fields. Do
you live all alone in such swanky
splendor, lib? This makes We old

libby said she did not live alone.
Dragging Marg forward to pre-
sent Tommy properly and explain

she said, I'VE come in package of
threes-when we're all here at one

INJURED, after acknowledging the

cause Of me. happen to have two
sisters, so you see I'm used to curl
ers. I like them; make me kind Of
home sick, in fact"
"Of course you're not to run,
libby said. Steena was the one who
had made the rule about men visi-
tors. libby wanted Marg to know
Tommy and Tommy to know her
girl friend, although she was not
as sure that would have applied
had Steena been there. So maybe
the rule would come in handy, at
times.
Nevertheless, after a few min
utes Of conversation, Marg ex-
cused herself. She insisted she had
things to do that must be done.
libby knew her friend was only
being tactful. but such tact was
appreciated. After all, she and
Tommy, being such old friends, did
have a lot Of private matters to
discuss.
Not too private, OF course. libby
meant to steer clear Of that, too.
Now tell me all about yourself"
she said. "All about the new Job.
Is 1t as interesting as you
thought? Are you able to do things
for people Are you happy in your
new work, Tommy"
That was the important part.
Tommy's dream had always been
to work In a clinic where people
could come who could not, other
wise. have had medical attention.
Unlike most young NEEDLES, he had
not specialized in any one branch
in order to set himself up later in
an elegant Office that would require
ever more elegant fees. His ambi-
ton was to be like the old-time all
around doctor. whose services were
rendered from birth 10 the grave.
In this he patterned after Tibby's

Real Estate Situation Today
In the war districts there now

Yet, | would not advise buying
property in these booming war
areas. 1t might be well to sell
when getting a fair offer. When II
comes TO considering average pro-
perty in an average community,
would divide II into FIVE groups

(l) Business Property-Now is
the time to sell occupied city bust
ness property and the time to buy
vacant suburban business proper

ages have temporarily reversed
trading conditions. Where during
the past few years trading has
gone from the city TO the suburbs,
1t is now returning from the sub
urbs to the thickly settled areas;
but 1t will come back again.
(2) Office Buildings-Most Of
fee buildings, have been built in
crowded sections. Hence. they
should benefit during the remand
er of the war. even II they NAV be
used for purposes for which they
were not intended. Those who
own such property should keep
down operating costs and keep the
property well maintained. As no
new office building property will be
built during the war, now see no
probable slump In good Office build
ing property after the war.
