Charges Banks Hoard R. F. C. Loans Pomerene Hits Big Companies Institutions Act As If They Thought Money In Cold Stor age, Chairman Says Action to force into productive enterprise millions of dollars lent by the Reconstruction Finance corporation and now allegedly ly ing idle in the nation’s bank vaults has become a prime subject of leg islative speculation. Congressional leaders were chary of comment, but they were study ing nevertheless, the results of the opening session of an extensive in vestigation of R. F. C. loans to railroads which produced an accu sation that the bankers have failed to fulfill their duty. In this accu sation the chairman of the corpora tion’s board and the investigating committee chairman joined. It was evoked by a discusion of loans to railroads to pay off their indebtedness to the banks. Atlee Pomerene, chairman of the corpo ration board told the committee: "I have a feeling that some of our larger banks that are from 75 per cent to 110 per cent (for em pasis) liquid ought to play a larger part in financing the roads and meeting the loans as they mature. "It is their duty to continue this financing. These banks, after get ting all the money in the commun ity, treat it as if it were in cold storage.” Senator Couzens, Republican of Michigan, chairman of the com mittee, agreed and added some vi gorous criticism of the Finance corporation as well, asserting it had "fallen down badly when it madte; loans to pay off banks without aj record. of the condition of the banks.” Couzens added: "I have been unable to find any information as to what benefit j commerce and industry got by paying these bank loans.” "I agree the banks have not! done their duty,” Pomerene replied. "And you have not compelled them to, though you had the pow er.” said Couzens. -%3^)X3K3X3aX£JSOX3C3E3X3Se3ee3S390^3XXaX3se39DeE g 35 I The | 1 Otliei* Han I a ;<s S By Ruby M.

Give him a drink, will yo.u, Dennis, while I go and make my self look beautiful.” Dennis turned quickly. Jerry Barnet was already in the room, and Barbara had escaped. Jerry nodded stiffly.' "How do! Didn’t expect to find you here.” His eyes were more unfriendly than his voice, and Dennis answered calmly, "We’ve just been to see my wife off at Paddington. Her mother is ill—she was sent for.” "I see.” There was an awkard silence, and Dennis knew that this man must have seen the tears of flush ed distress on Barbara’s face. "Have a drink?” he asked with an effort. "No, thanks.” The silence fell once more and remained unbroken till Barbara re turned. "Richard’s himself again!” she said lightly. "I’ve been unbur dening my soul in a fit of tears,” she informed Barnet. "Too many late nights and too much to drink, so Dennis has been telling me.” she lighted a cigarette and pushed the box across to him. "Aren’t you ?oing to drink, Terry?” "No thanks.” She made a little grimace at hi: moody face. "Well, mix, one foi me, anyway,” she said. Dennis took up his coat. "I’ll bt off.” He was hating Barnet with all his heart, and yet he knew that foi Barbara’s sake he must show noth ing of what he felt. "Go and see him out, will you. Jerry?” Barbara said coolly. She nodded to Dennis, "Good-bye— ring me up some time.” When Barnet returned she was sitting calmly on a big humpty stool by the fire, smoking and turning the pages of a magazine. "We’ll have tea when Mellish comes in,” she said without look ing up. "Does your head ache, Jer ry, that you won’t drink? Mine dees, like the very devil.” Barnet made no reply, but he shut the door behind him with a little.slam and came forward. "Have you seen this picture of Evelyn?” Barbara asked. "Not too good, I think—look-” Barnet tore the magazine from her hand and flung it across the room. "What’s that fellow doing here?” he demanded. For a moment Barbara sat mo tionless; then she looked up. "My dear Jerry!” ftivrl » 1 1*11 1 • 1 M) >Y 1141 s ituuw uuing aciv; Barnet demanded again. "I’ve sus pected him all along. That night in the theatre—every time he’s been in your company—” Barbara rose to her feet. "If you’re going to be a cad, Jerry, you’d better go,” she said. "Oh, yes, go! to'make room for him, I suppose,” he almost shout ed. He caught her arm roughly, swinging her round to him. "Has he been making love to you?” he demanded. "How dare you-” He laughed. "Oh, I dare very well. I know you, Barbara—any thing for a new conquest. And you his wife’s friend, eh?” Barbara’s eyes blazed in her white face. "Let go of my arm,” she said in a very still voice. "And when you’ve done that you can walk out of my flat and never come back.” There was a tragic silence, broken only by Barnet’s heavy breathing; then • suddenly his anger fell from him and he began to plead. “I’m sorry. I was mad. Forgive me. I didn’t mean it. I was jealous. iYou drive me mad, Barbara.” "You can go out of my flat and never come back,” Barbara said again. "I’ve done with you.” "No! no!” His distress was piti able. "You know how much I care for you. Forgive me, Barbara and I swear it will never happen again.” "No.” Her eyes were hard and relentless. He fell back from her ,breathing hard. "Do you—mean this?” he asked thickly. i never meant anyunmg so mucn in all my life,” Barbara answered. "So I’m thrown over, am I! Af ter all this time—after all I’ve done for you. Kicked out like an unfortunate tramp. Very well! we shall see. I’ll make you pay for this—you—” For a moment she thought he was going to strike her; then his arm fell to his side. "I’ll make you pay—my God, I’ll make you pay to the last farthing!” he shout ed, and was gone. * * * Pauline stayed with her mother for a week. She was not unhappy, but she was restless and preoccupied. "It’s as if someone is walking over my grave,” she told her moth er once, with a little excited laugh. "Do you believe in premonitions. Mumsie? I never used to, but just lately I’ve had the sort of feeling that something is going to happen, something—something I shan’t like. It’s not Dennis—he’s written every other day, and he’s quite well.” She laughed. "Dennis writes such funny letters, Mumsie—you really would think he’s shy of me!” . Pauline’s mother smiled. She could not quite make up her mind about her daughter’s marriage. Pauline seemed happy enough. "The first year of marriage is always a little difficult,” her mother said gently, "and I think my little girl is managing very well from what I can hear.” She paused, then ask ed, "And what is Dennis doing in New York without you?” "Oh, I think he’s quite all right,” Pauline said. "Dr. Storna way is up there, you know, and that’s nice for Dennis. And then there is Barbara, of course. I think he’s seen her once or twice.” "Poor Barbara!” said Pauline’s mother. The girl looked up quickly. "Why do you say that?” she asked. "Barbara’s quite happy— at least I think she is. She’s got a nice man she goes about with; his name is Jerry Barnet. He adores her, but I don’t think she cares very much for him. But there is someone she loves. She told me so once. I wonder who it is,” she added almost to herself. "I don’t think Barbara is a very faithful lover,” Pauline’s mother said, but this Pauline would not al low. "She is! I understand1 her. Once she really loves anyone noth ing would ever change her. Of course she doesn’t wear her heart on her sleeve.” She said something of the same sort to Peterkin when he arrived to dinner one night, having driven forty miles through the cold and rain to see her. They had dinner alone, as Pauline’s mother was still in bed. "It’s nice to see* you, Peterkin,” Pauline said. She hoped he thought she looked well and happy. She had put on one of her prettiest frocks in his honor and she wore the pearl necklace Dennis had given her for a wedding present. "Still as radiantly happy?” Pet "Of course. Dennis is a darling,” said Dennis’s wife. Peterkin emptied his wineglass. "Why isn’t he here?” he asked bluntly. Pauline flushed. "He would have come—he wanted to come, only I knew it would be so dull for him with Daddy away. He would have only I persuaded him not to.” "I see.’ Pauline was offended. She thought Peterkin was silly to be so oldfashioned. "Is Mrs. Stark looking after him?” Peterkin said suddenly. "I asked her to,” Pauline said quickly, and then wondered why she had spoken defensively, and then quite suddenly a wave of sheer homesickness for Dennis swept over her. "A penny for your thoughts,” Peterkin said suddenly, and Paul ine felt her eyes ridiculously fill ing with tears as she answered. "Nothing. I was just wondering if Dennis is missing me as much as I miss him.” , Peterkin winced; he had not yet got used to the fact that Pauline was married, and her love for O’Hara still hurt him. "Of course he is!” he said loyal ly. He’ll be jolly glad to have you back.” And Pauline brightened instant ly and flushed and dimpled and talked eagerly of her own little home. Then she broke off and flushed, and Peterkin kept his eves on his plate. Pauline hurriedly changed the subject. It came to her naind when she was undressing that night, and she sat down on the side of the bed and stared down at the carpet, lost in thought Would Dennis be pleas ed if—if there was to be a baby? She had never heard him say he wculd like to have a son. for of course it would be a son—a son with Dennis’s eyes, and his way of laiiphintr. Pauline’s simnle mind leaped ahead and was lost in a mist of rosy dreams. Barbara could be godmother of course, and perhaps dear old Peter kin would be godfather, and if it was a boy they would call it Den nis Peterkin O’Hara. And then she cried a little be cause the dream was so beautiful and because she felt she did not deserve to be so happy, and then she kissed Dennis’s picture, which stood in its old place beside her bed, and then she knelt down and said her prayers. Dennis always teased her about her prayers. "Such a baby,” he said, but she had a kind of feeling that all the same Dennis liked her to pray for him. And she prayed for him now in simple faith and ljpve, and she prayed for Barbara, too, little. dreaming that at that very mo-1 ment those two were for her sake fighting desperately against their passionate love for each other. Pauline slipped into bed and fell asleep almost at once, only to wak en about two hours later with a fast beating heart and a feeling of. fear. "Dennis!” She sat up in bed and spoke his name aloud in the silent room, stretching out her arms. For an instant she was al most sure he had been there close beside her; sure he had come to her in trouble, great trouble, beg ging something of her—someth ing— “Oh, what is it, darling, darl ing!” Pauline whispered in an a gony of dread.

Helped By Cardui Here’s the true story of how Car dui helped Mrs. H. E. Dunaway, of McComb, Miss., as written by herself: “I was sick and rather discour aged. I was so weak and thin, I was not able to do my work as it should be done. This made me fret a good deal, and did not help my condition. “I had pains across my back and lower part of my body. My nights were spent in rolling from one side of the bed to the other, hoping I would soon go to sleep. Then when morning would come, I would be just as tired as when I went to bed. A neighbor, seeing how badly I felt, told me to try Cardui. After I had taken one bot tle, I was much better. I kept on taking Cardui, and I was stronger and slept much better at night.” President Gives Job When Mrs. Molly Brown Carran, of West Branch, Iowa, boarded Pres ident Hoover’s train at Des Moines last fall, she told him indirectly how hard times had come upon her. . . , She had been the president’s teacher years ago in the little country school.
