dietely deposited in the banks. Here,

The Secretary OF the Treasury in
times OF great financial disasters from
want OF currency" he said. takes out
a portion OF this money and deposits
temporarily in banks. which are Govern
ment repositories. II is done under a
power which has been questioned. There
should be no question whatever upon q
transaction of this nature"
Figuring for an element Of elasticity
In the currency, he said: we are the
only one OF the highly organized hnan-
cial and Industrial countries which has
a currency absolutely inelastic. a cur
rency which responds in no way To the
requirements Of business OF to the needs
OF Cne people.
He indOrsed the plan proposed by the

BRIGHTER SUNDAY URGED
IN WASHINGTON PULPITS

Many Washington pastors yesterday
turned their sermons into lectures
against the manner in which Sunday
IS generally observed. They declared
that instead of the day being regarded
as one to be spent in religious observ-
ances It had been given over to hoII-
day-making and that week after week
II was growing farther and farther
away from its old conception. Il was
urged by many that social organiza-
tons be formed for the purpose of ar
ranging entertainments to combine re-
ligious and secular features and thus
bring the people into the churches on
Sunday, rather than leave them 10
celebrate the day as y holiday.

Total Dealings.

After a three days holiday business
on the local stock exchange was re-
sumed with a zest that gave promise
Of decided Improvement over the in
activity which prevailed all of last
week. and a better disposition OF price.
To this feeling may be attributed the
larger volume Of sales. and the ad-
vances in several OF the favorites, more
particularly Mergenthaler. which
jumped a point. and Washington Rail

TO their values. In the former case
there was hardly enough 10 go around
