WAR’S AFTERMATH
A forest fire recently swept through a part of Apre-
mont Forest near . Chalonssur-Marne France. Imme-
• diately the air was filled with the crash of exploding
shells which jarred the countryside and put the fire-
fighters in grave danger.
Bitter fighting took place in this forest during the
war. Many shells were shot into it. Some of them were
“duds”—they had defective fuses or something—and
failed to explode. So during all the years since they
lay there waiting for the fire to come and touch them off.
There is something very ghastly about the thought
of those messengers of death biding their time in the
• depth of a peaceful forest. But they simply parallel the
effects of war in human relations.
War leaves many unexploded jfliells — hatreds
jealousies suspicions injustices desires for revenge—and
they lie inert sometimes for many years . . . waiting for
the moment of heat that will blow them up and let them
destroy human lives.
ANOTHER GOOD SIGN
Superintendent Roger W. Toll of Yellowstone Na-
. tional Park is one man who looks forward to extremely
• good business this summer.
So far this year upward of 20000 visitors have pass-
; ed through the park—which compares with fewer than
.* 7000 for the same period last year. Toll believes that
• fully 200000 people will visit the park before 1934 is
• over and he also believes there is a chance that the all-
I time record of 260000 visitors—made in the boom year
‘ of 1929—may be broken.
All this it seems to us. is a pretty good indication of
• returning prosperity. Yellowstone Park after all is
quite a distance from the great centers of population.
If tourists are going there in record-breaking num-
J bers there must have been a pretty substantial improve-
. ment in the financial status of a lot of people.
MODERN GIRL VINDICATED
The modern girl is just as admirable a person as her
{ mother was at the same age and in some respects she is
i a good 4tl»l nicer.
This is on the word of Sister Laurentine director of
• nursing in St. Francis’ Hospital. Pittsburgh.
Attending a convention of the Catholic Hospital As-
1 sociation of the United States and Canada. Sister Lauren-
tine told how she has had direct supervision of more
than 800 girls trained 'as nurses in the St. Francis train-
ing school.
“We get these girls at the flapper age” she said j
• “and they are as fine a lot of girls as anyone would w’ant
to meet. There is no reason to believe all the things said
about modern girls. Some of them may have vices but
they are no worse than the girls of other generations.”
This is what you might call expert testimony in the
• modern girl’s favor.
AN EFFECT OF REPEAL?
Detroit city authorities are reported to be vastly per-
turbed by a sharp rise in automobile traffic accidents this
. year. Between Jan. 1 and July 9. 1934 Detroit’s traffic
! killed 215 people—the highest traffic death rate in De-
• troit’s history—while 6684 persons have been injured.
As a result the traffic patrol force is being doubled
; and a campaign is on to enforce the traffic code very
• strictly.
Detroit is not the only city that has had a rise in
; the traffic toll this year; and it is hard to keep from won-
dering if repeal does not have some connection with this
; rise.
Is the legal sale of intoxicating liquors putting more
drunken drivers on the highways to menace themselves
• and others? It is time that a detailed and unprejudiced
survey was made on a nation-wide scale.

YOUTH—'This story may glve an
idea to some of the business men
who have been grieving about the
hard-boiled methods of Gen. John-
son's NRA.
A national manufacturing arm
with some 10.000 associated distri-
buting stores scattered all over the
country has been in the habit of
running an annual "factory-to-you''
sale. It is advertised extensively
millions of dollars worth of assort-
ed goods are disposed of and the
manufacturer and the 10000 re-
tailers all profit.
Recently just before this year's
sale was to come off. the firm's
Washington representative was
summoned to NRA headquarters.
There he met three of Johnsons
younger assistants—he called them
"prematurely young" in later con-
versation—and was told that *
"factory-to-you" sale would be per-
missible only if the selling stores
were located in the facory where a
given product issued.
• • •
The Washington representative
argued long and earnestly. He ex-
plained that all of the products
were put up specially under the
firms trademark. He showed that
hfe people spent important money
in annual advertising campaigns
and would be left this year with an
unloadablf surplus if the sal** w-ere
prohibited He pointed out what it
would cost the smal laffiliaud re-
tailers-
But soon it became apparent
that the three young assistants
were unimpressed. Canny camp-
aigner that he is. the local agent
switched suddenly to a new taca
"Ail right" he said ' but I want
you to know that each of the 10-
000 retailers will get a letter telling
exactly who stopped this sale and
why. We won’t blame it on NRA.
We won't blame it on Gen. John-
son because 1 am convinced he
knows nothing about it. The three
of you can decide which one wants
to accept the responsibility and let
me know."
Then he stomped out as loudly
as rubber heels w-ould permit. A
few hours later he was advised by
phone the sale could go on this
year as usual decision being re-
served about next year.
JOB-HUNTERS — Emil Hurja
has the most thankless job in

man of the Democratic National

One can not go into committee

NEW YORK
By James McMulltn
STRATEGY— Conservative New
Yorkers are more actively hostile
to the president since he signed
the Frazier-Lemke and railway
pension acts. Up to then they
felt he was gradually turning in
their direction and were hopeful
his conversion would be perman-
ent. They confidently expected a
veto of these radical measure* and
are bitter in their disillusion.
But keen neutral observers doubt
the Implication that he has swung
back to the left. They explain his
approval of the bills on different
and subtler grounds.
They point out that the new
Labor Board will have a strenuous
chore on its hands to keep radical
and conservative labor elements
in balance. This is one sample of
several impending right and left
wing conflict* which will devolve
upon government agencies to
settle. These settlements are deli-
cate and of vital Importance. It's
not hard to see how discontented
radicals could upset a lot of apple-
cart* if given l#:lf a chance. They
are much more likely to make
trouble than unhappy conserva-
tives.
Furthermore the new laws still
have to go through a severe test-
ing process in the courts before
their validity can b* fully estao-
llshed. The president's signature to
not the ultimate step in their ac-
ceptance by the nation.
Put these two factors together
and what have you? A gesture
which removes two hot shots from
the radical arsenal and atill leaves
the controversial measures open
to final interpretation. If the bills
had been vetoed the radicals would
have had much greater opportun-
ity to rock the boat and endanger
the stability of the whole Roose-
velt program.
Under these conditions vim
sources believe the presidents
strategy is solid and that conserva-
tives have no real cause for com-
plaint about his apparent surrender
to left wing pressure.
• • •
BANKS—Analysis of June 30th
bank statements reveals that the
19 New York Clearing House banks
now own over three billion dollars
of government securities. This is
equivalent to 34% of their total
deposits and amounts to about 11%
of the entire national debt.
Jf you look closely at the figures
you find several significant indica-
tions:
1. The apparently Insatiable
banking appetite for governments
seems to be tapering off. The 19
institutions increased their govern-
ment hidings by 1210000000 net
in the second quarter as against
a rise of *489.000000 in the first
quarter.
2. Six banks account for second
quarter gains of *325.000.000—more
than half as much again as the
net Increase for the whole 19. The
six are Chase National City. Cen-
tral Hanover. Bank of Manhattan
Manufacturers' Trust and Com Ex-
change. It Just so happens that
these are the very banks which
iiave shown the greatest willingness
to cooperate with the government
all along. Insiders doubt this is
purely coincidence.
3. —Conversely the five banks
which <how the largest offsetting
declines in government holdings for
the second quarter are the Guar-
anty Trust Bankers Trust First
National New York Trust and
Chemical. The first four are fre-
quently referred to as Morgan
banks. The Chemical has not been
notably sympathetic to the New
Deal.
4 Even at that the Guaranty
Trust still tops all the rest in the
volume of governments it owns. And
the Bankers’ Trust and First Na-
tional carry federal securities equal
to more than 40% of their deposits
twell above the average).
• • •
SERVICE—There is no Inference
that either the banks which added
to their federal obligations or those
which showed reductions acted on
any pre-arranged common policy.
Nevertheless insiders maintain the
statistics tell a story.
The banks which have lately been
cutting down on governments are
those which have hitherto main-
tained the highest percentage of
liquidity in terms of cash and fed-
eral securities. They have been the
most consistently conservative.
Their change of policy reflects
either greater confidence in the
business outlook—resulting in an
inclination to substitute more prof-
itable business loans for treasury
obligations—or a feeling that infla-
tion may unpair the investment
value of government securities.
Probably it’s a little of both.
These banks are now contribut-
ing to private credit expansion—as
desired by the government. The
others are directly supporting the
government bond market Either
might be interpreted as serving the
government's aims but the Inform-
ed believe the latter is more ap-
preciated in Washington at present.
• • •
SALT—Reports of an impending
cut in liquor taxes draw loud cheers
from hotel men—whose costly new
bars are as busy as your furnace in
July. Liquor profits used to keep
the wolf away from many a mar-
quee and repeal was supposed to
bring back that delightful condi-
tion. Hotel men say it might have
if the administration 'didn't try to
make liquor pay the national debt."
Salt in their wounds is the visit-
ing firemen's habit of buying liquor
from a bootlegger and then tearing
up the hotel's furniture in the re-
sulting exuberance.
o • •
BI'RNT—The airlines are work-
ing out a setup like the Railway
Express Agency for air express. It
will be Jointly owned by participat-
ing lines.
But there U be no flirting with
• collusion” or other charges. Before
they make a move the lines will
make sure they have the blessings
of both the postmaster general and
the attorney general.
Maybe they remember something
about a burnt child.
SIDELIGHTS — Republicans are
:heered by Hoffman’s reported
jams in the New Jersey race for
governor. .HJalmar Schacht want-
ed to come personally to the United
States to make a deal on the Dawes
and Young bonds and also—more
important—on commodity credit...
His friends here heared him off oy
naming him his reception might
>e a trifle chilly.

NOW CO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER VII
M'ss ROSA went with Jans to
tbs Iste Afternoon train and
waited with her In the big empty
station. “I know I ought to go
along with you." she said at last.
"Just for a few days to get you
settled."
"If you went with mo I’d get off
at the next station and go some-
where else. I don’t want you or
anyone else."
Jane went on with cruel Inten-
tion. "You'll be as glad to get
rid of me as I am to ga We re
never been very fond of each other
have we. Aunt Rosa? Ton den t
care about anything but playing
bridge and having nice fattening
meals and making the house look
a little better-kept than anybody
else's. I suppose you’re too old to
know how young people feel real-
ly*
"Maybe I am" said Miss Rosa
wearily. "Anyway Jane. I did the
beet 1 could with my limitations
I'm very fond of you. even If you
don’t believe It. and It fairly tears
me to see you like this—"
"Will you ttop nagging meT
"Your train's coming In." She
hugged Jane's stiff resistant shoul-
ders and kissed her on both cheeks
But Jane bad pulled away from
the embrace and was hurrying out
to the train. The porter swung i
up her bag. Her trunk was slammed
Into the baggage car three coaches
ahead. Miss Rosa watched more
unhappy and perturbed than she
had ever been In her whole Ilfs
All the way back to the house
Miss Rosa was miserable with de-
feat "I shouldn’t have let her
go." she thought.
Jana by now some SO miles
away was for the moment unaware ;
of her advantages The energy
that had started her on this de
termlned flight had gone.
• a •
\'EVER afterward In her life was
1 she able to recall any detail of
that Journey bow she reached the
hotel nor how she spent the first
few days of her stay for she was
suspended In pain and unreality.
The truth was that she stayed In
her room most of the time lying
In bed or sitting by tbe window
while the management only partly .
reassured fly messages from Miss
Rosa kept an uneasy watch on her.1
sending in maids on unnecessary
errands while the housekeeper
lingered nervously In the hall for
their reporta Jane did not know
It But she did know that after
a while she began to come alive
and to feel that she must do some-
thing.
Accordingly she went out for a
walk looking into shop windows [
Presently the came to the park. Various other strollers mostly men glanced at her with specuiatm
admiration.
at first blankly then with a faint
interest quickened by the sight of
clothes and trinkets superior to
anything Marburg could offer.
Presently she came to the park
and strolled in a little way to rest
in its greenness. The important
feeling subsided leaving a flatness
In its place and gTeat loneliness.
Various other strollers mostly
elderly men. glanced at her with
speculative admiration all of them
only too ready and willing to start
conversation. Jane saw that and
it pleased her.
She must vindicate herself. She
must do something quickly to show
her superiority to Amy and ail the
meager stupid life of Marburg and
to make Howard Jackson realize
what he had lost A vague bril-
liant vision of herself returning to
dazzle and to condescend rose in
her mind but she could not evolve
any definite guide toward its reali-
sation. There must be lomething
she could study with immediate re-
sults and she would find out at
once.
• • •
DUT the registrar’s office of the
u Columbia summer school was
baffled by Jane and bewildered by
her.
One of the secretaries more ob-
servant than the others bad seen
the tight nerves the despairing
eagerness behind Jane’s apparent
aimlessness and took her aside.
"Look here." she said kindly "why
do you bother with this sort of
thing? It's mostly for teachers
you know. You seem to me. I
don’t know exactly why but you
do seem to me to be looking for
something quite practical outside
the field of education. Why don’t
you take a course in one of these
high-grade secretarial schools and
| get into some business—publishing
or advertising maybe? My sister
went to one and ebe'a done awfully
well got a position as secretary to
the editor of a big magazine and
worked herself onto the staff. I’ll
give you a couple of addresses."
It was the first line of direction
Jane bad found and she probably
would not have followed it but one
of the schools was near her hotel.
She passed it as she went back
there and after a moment a hesita-
tion returned and entered. It was
a competent place with more than
a suggestion of swagger. At once
Jane felt herself at ease. She was
understood.
That night she wrote two letters
One was to ber aunt an answer
to the letters and telegrams which
poor Miss Rosa had been heaping
on her ever since her arrival and
which Jane so far had not no-
ticed.
• • •
OUT over the second letter she
^ hesitated. Ever since that
morning in the chapel she had been
beset with the wish to revenge her
self on Amy spoil ber happiness
if she could. The letter ready at
last after many crossings out aud
changes was far from consistent
but Jane could do no more with
It Bhe copied it in a spontaneous
dashing hand.
"My dear Amy: I’ve been sur-
prised not to hear from you since
I left. It seemed to me that the
least you owed me was an ezplana
tioo if you didn’t feel quite up to
an apology.
"I want to tell you again that In
spite of everything be may aay.
Howard Jackson literally pursued
me with his attentions and made
love to me ardently. Also be cer

loved me until you came between

enough to go on without you. with
out either or you. But the scan
of this wound you have inflicted
will always remain."
To Miss Rosa Jane'a letter Indl-
rated that Jane was herself agatoj
and not utterly broken under the
fiasco of her engagement.
For Amy there was no such com-1
tort. When she saw Janes letter*
she did not want to open It. toe

her.
“Of course it isn’t true that How-
