New Credit Begulctions Start Sept. 20th

Credit Regulation "W" to control consumer installment credit, was issued by the Federal Reserve Board on August 19th, and goes into effect September 20th. It covers installment sales of more than $50, and also covers installment loans for most consumer purposes on credits up to $5,000. Some of the things on rvhich regulation "W" prescribes down payments are automobiles, cook stores, dish washers, ironers. air conditioners. On automobiles a dorvn payment of one-third is a minimum. On most other things it is twenty per cent. On all installment sales up to $1,CI0 the time limit to pay is 15 months;maximum maturity on amounts above $1,000 is 18 months, except that on amounts above $1,000 the monthly payment must be at least $70. Merchants who do installment selling, particularly those lvho sell automobiles, have been making a hard drive for the past several weeks to make sales before the neu' rule goes into effect.

Shiningr

Little Oscar, whose family had recently moved into the community, was playing with some of his new friends in the back yard of a neighbor.

The neighbor, a genial, friendly sort of woman, looked out her window and called to the new boy:

"Hello! Isn't that a new face?"

"It's not new, Mam," explained little Oscar. "It's just been washed."-(Wall Street Journal.)

Little llls

Once life's little ills annoyed me, When life's little ills were few, One fly in my pot of ointment, Put me in a dreadful stew.

Now that waning life has taught me, The infrequent good to Prize, I rejoice to find some ointment In my little pot of fies.

-Denison.

A Prcyer For My Pastor

(The following prayer was written by Ex-Governor Robert S. Kerr, of Oklahoma, and makes a very interesting scrapbook piece).

"Our Father, let me be a pillar of strength to help him hold up, and not a thorn in his flesh to sap his strength, nor a burden on his back to pull him down.

"Let me support him without striving to possess him.

"Let me give him help that he may devote more time in working for the salvation of others, and'less time in gratifying my vanity.

"Let me work for him as the pastor of all the members and not compel him to waste precious time in bragging on me.

"Let me be unselfish in what I do for him, and not selfish in demanding that he do more for me.

"Let me strive to serve him and the church, much, agd be happy as he serves me less, and the church and the others more."

Proud Words

"Look out how you use proud words. When you let proud words go it is not easy to call them back. They wear long boots, hard boots. Look out how you use proud words."

-Carl Sandburg.

Right Plcrces

Grandmother says she was not so surprised at the fact that little four-year-old Willie picked up profanity; what surprised her was his ability to use these wrong words in the right places.

Iohn Milton on Censoring Books

"IJnless wariness be used, as good almost to kill a man as to kill a good book: who kills a man, kills a reasonable creature, God's image: but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were, in the eye. Many a man lives a burden to the earth ;but a good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, embalmed and treasbred up on purpose to a life beyond life. It is true, no age can restore a life, whereof, perhaps, there is no great loss; and revolutions of ages do not oft recover the loss of a rejected truth, for the want of which whole nations fare the worse. We should be wary, therefore, what persecution we raise against the living labours of public men, how we spill that seasoned life of man, preserved and stored up in books; since we see a kind of homicide may thus be committed, sometimes a martyrdom; and if it extend to the whole impression, a kind of massacre, whereof the execution ends not in the., slaying of an elemental life, but strikes at the ethereal and fifth essence, the breath of reason itself ; slays an immortality, rather than a life."

Softer Pickings

Girl: "Father is delighted to hear that you are a poet."

Boy: "Why?"

Girl: "The last of my boy friends he tried to throw out, was a pugilist."

Chinc

"China is a place where beauty appears unexpectedly. The proportions of a curving roof, a girl smiling sleepily in a doorway, as she whisks the flies away, a child riding a black pig bare-back, three old women walking arm-inarm through a mist-laden field, the clean curve of a plow as it comes dropping from the earth-all these have the qualities of everlastingness.. If you search for them you will never find them. They come so suddenly that you are overwhelmed, and they have gone before you can photograph them in your mind."-Robert Pyane.

Motherly Advice

Motherly advice has been praised in song and story, but she missed her cue when she said to the son who was starting his first solo fight in a plane: "Be careful. Fly low, and slow."
