Now she loves David and loathes Richard. Richard, the suave, handsome stepfather, tried to entice Nina into a secret love affair, but she finally sees him as he is—a selfish sponger. Honey, Nina’s gay, childish mother who is wild about Rich- ard, develops a serious heart ail- ment. David, a bright young auto salesman with a small salary, be- latedly begins to suspect Nina of caring too much for Richard.

RAILROADS Agitation for Government own- ership of the railroads received a distinct set back when President Roosevelt aynounced himself against any such plan. He outlin- ed a national system of adequate, economical and solvent railroads, privately owned and privately managed as the goal toward which his transportation polieies are directed. He advocated a pro- gram of conciliation and the Squeezing down of the heavy rail- road financial structures, even if it entgils possible losses to insur- ance eompanies, education and welfare institutions and private holders of rail securities. The Pre- sident rated the railroad situation as one of the most baffling prob- lems of the present business situ- ation and expressed hope thet the Interstate Commerce _Commis- sion would work out a plan under which the roads might be return- ed to solvency within private hands. This, he thought, might in- volve consolidations, _ abandon- ment of uneconémieal lines and readjustment of capital organiza- tions.
