He concentrates his ammunition for the big push. The idea is to stare you out. He will sit on his launches by the door, fifteen or twenty feet away, and stare at you. You ignore him He moves up about five feet. You continue to ignore him. He moves closer. Same thing. All the while he is emitting these little wearysome sounds under his breath. Finally, he is within a few feet of you-he continues to stare. Finally if you have been able to ignore him after all that, he ernits a grhnt, eloquent with disgust, and goes back to his position next to the door. The same little drama Is played over again as long as you can take it.

 Fire Chief George, Magnuson stated that there have been four such fires in two days. That's bad. He also says the grass is bone dry, after week of sum- shine. These fires can easily get out of hand. Some of them have been close to buildings.
 A child's mind in starting a fire, thinks only of warmth, its glow-seeing the flames shoot up into the sky. A word of caution from the parents should help. Curb their tendencies in other directions.

We saw a brilliant looking fire the other day from our office window.
 We saw children stomping over the ground in a frantic effort to put out what fire they had started. It was north of ReSonoff, above Brooklyn, Avenue.

 The fire looked beautiful from OUT office. The brilliancy of the Orange and red flames in con- traSt to the drab of the grassy hillside, was beautiful.

It wasn't difficult to enviSion the whole hill- side a brilliant flame, the houses one by one becoming a charred mass, as the flames, famed by a stiff breeze, burned them to the ground.

interest rate) goes up. When
the supply of credit is greater
than the demand for loans, the
price (the interest rate) goes
down.
In recent months of climbing
business, the demand from
about every type of borrower
for about every type of loan
has ballooned to all-time peaks.
The Federal Reserve System
which has the power under the
law to control the supply OF
credit and thereby to influence
its price-has been refusing to
expand the supply sufficiently
to satisfy all demands, because
it insists that if it does so
against today's economic back
ground it will set off another
initiation spiral. The demand
for credit is exceeding the sup
ply, and therefore the price
has been rising. Basic to the
debate in Congress has been
the price the Treasury has been
paying for credit. 1t is now
paying 434 per cent for loans
of only a year-the highest
rate in a generation.
What is the interest rate
ceiling? In 1917, Congress
passed a law setting the inter-
est rate at not more than Az
per cent on Treasury bonds

What the BoffIegob Means
BY SYLVIA PORTER

Not since the days almost a
half-century ago, when Con-
gress was struggling with the
task of creating the Federal
Reserve System, has there been
so much debate about interest
rates, tight money. debt CELL
ings, rate ceilings, etc.
If you've read these reports
you may have wondered, Just
what do these words mean?"
Once again, therefore, I sub

What is an interest rate? In
terest is the price at which
money can be borrowed or
loaned and an interest rate is
the specific price charged or
paid for money at a particular
time. To the borrower, the in
terest rate is the cost of a loan;
to the lender, it is the income
received on money loaned.
Reasons for Change
What moves interest rates up
or down? What usually deter
mines the price of any product
or service? Except under such
extraordinary circumstances as
a war, price is determined by
the demand for and supply Of
the product or service. When
the demand for loans is greater
than the available supply Of
credit, the price for loans (tht

There have been many

One Of the better recent ex-

One Of the prime objects of the
investigation was to determine
exact time of the accident.

defined as securities due in five
years or more.
But in the open market the
interest rate has risen far be-
~ond 4K4 per cent. and the AZ
vear-old ceiling is now pre-
'enting the Treasury from SELL
ng new bonds. In June. the
Treasury asked Congress to re-
move the ceiling. Congress has
refused.
Debt Ceiling Explained
So the Treasury must raise
the billions it willneed in COM
ing months to meet its bills
and pay of maturing bonds
through loans due in less than
five years. On these loans, the
Treasury can pay whatever the
market demands and, as noted
above, the market is demand
ing 434 per cent for one-year
money.
What is the debt ceiling? In
1917 too, Congress decreed
that the national debt couldn't
go above a specified ceiling.
Since that first ceiling of $12
billion, Congress has passed a
succession of laws raising the
limit as high as $500 billion
during World War II.
In June. Congress wrote a
law putting the ceiling at $685.
billion, but saying that be-
tween now and next June 30
the debt can temporarily go as
high as $295 billion.
This whole question of inter-
est rates and ceilings will erupt
into a new battle at the next
session of CongreSS-if not IN
special session before that.
1t is destined to be a key issue
in the 1860 elections.
