even more" Although the secretary
had no right to offer this last issue,
since he did so and declined the in
dividual bids for it allotted all to the
national banks, yet he fails to make
them fulfil the purpose for which
he excuses himself in making it,
Do you know the reason why the
national banker dislikes to issue cir
culation? Well, the explanation is
simple. There happened to be w.
Holman, "a Watchdog on duty when
that ill was passed and he saw to
it that the government must have the
tightest kind of security to pass any
such privilege TO any class and it IS
quite amusing to note as he must
quietly have done the effect his little
provision in that respect headed off
the full effectiveness intended by tie
trainers of that bill, so we see they
only issue circulation when they are
compelled to help themselves and
not to carry out as they s,ould the
functions of right government to
help the people.
The law is plain as to percentage
of reserve. Either let them obey the
law or close up. If the law is wrong
that will be a sure way to have it
corrected but as long as it's on the
books observe it or pass another
that they cannot sell out their debt
ors if their creditors cannot sell them
out. AS the proof of the pudding is
in the eating, so is the proof that a
law is good when it works both ways
and serves all alike. The reduction
in the salaries which in some of the
large institutions of their figurehead
presidents and other officials would
readily and easily more than suffice
to cover the actural cost of the cir
culation but that's not high finance
as it is now known and would not
buy influence needed to uphold them
in their lawless procedures. Fewer
automobiles and champagne dinners
and purer whskey and beer and few
er palaces with no one living in them
and more comfortable homes, a re-
turn to more simple, honest living
will result in the restoration of our
affairs to a substantial and rightful
condition.

ment that things are fast approaching
normal condition and hastens TO
deny that he has been offered the
presidency of the Commercial Ma
tonal Bank of Kansas City when it
is reorganized as gentle hint that
he may be open to engagement at an
early date. 1t is quite remarkable
that it has followed in many instan-
ces that the comptrollers and Sec
retaries of the treasury have found
sinecure positions as figurcheads in
large financial institutions and in
some cases even resigned their po-
sitions under the government to ac-
cept the hattering offers made. Is
there any significance in this or has
it any bearing on their attitude to-
ward the Interests" at all times?
Has the old slogun "a public office

become obsolete?

In speaking of his war record, DR.. Starr
said to The Star reporter:
Before hostilities began I opposed
strenuously abolition, secession and war;
owing to which stand 1 became little
unpopular on both sides, which, 1 have
always felt. barred me from holding high
rank during the war"
At the close of the war DR.. Starr found
his fortune gone and the prospect of be-
ginning life all over again at the age of
fifty-eight. He was appointed postmaster
of Texas township, but in a few years
came to the District and practlced medi-
cine, making a new fortune, which, he
says, was lost in an unfortunate specula-
ton.
DR.. Starr is member of the oldest
residents society of the District, and in
honor of his anniversary tomorrow will
give banquet in the evening to the men,
bers Of the organization.
DR.. Starts recipe for a long life is the
old adage. early to bed and early to
RISE with the additional admonition to
touch neither tobacco nor liquor. He
says:
Il never drank any Intoxicating liquor
or used tobacco in any form. Early to
bed and early to rise is a rule strictly
adhered to by me. My mode Of life from
early boyhood has been in accordance
with natures laws, and now in my one
hundredth year 1 am in perfect health;
have not lost heal in eighty-f1ve years
on account of sickness; take regular exer-
else. and during all these years have
taken none other than my own medicine
and very little of that. My father died

at IA years, and all were botanists. NJ

corners of this continent. Think
OF having lived through all the wars of
the United States with the exception of
the war Of independence; Of having seen
the living forms OF every President OF

lived in the western wilderness before
Chicago and the other great western cities

moved by wagon to the wilderness OF
Ohio, then recently admitted to the Union.
They were still living there during the
war OF 1872. In 1927 the young Starr
went with Gen. Jackson's forces to the
Florida war. after which he returned to
Ohio and in a few years moved to the
Wisconsin wilderness. DIR. Starr enlisted
for the Mexican war and served through

The national gallery project, the Freer,

tions, together with the excellent part the
Corcoran Gallery has taken in UNFOLDING
and encouraging the appreciation Of art a.
the National capital, were discussed at
some length and to some purpose. by q
writer in the New York Herald recently.
In spite of the fact that New York would
for many years harbor a greater number
of artists than any other city its size. and
diversity of interests would. 1t was main
tanned, preclude its becoming "a real art
center" Though this is but an individ

sentiment, and to promise support for the
logical art center, thanks to Mr.. Freer
Mrs. Johnston and Mr.. Evans, is Begin
ming to be regarded with some seriousness
and credence.
The advent of new workers is always
hopeful sign, and not few new names
have been added this fall to the Est OF
local craftsmen. Among these is Mrs.
Ward Brown, who makes a speciality of
booHbinding, and has opened a studio, or
workshop. on the top floor of the Art
Students League building. Mrs. Brown
studied her craft in Berlin, but of one
who had learned it in England, and,
therefore, follows the English method.
She has on hand at present a series of
eight volumes. which She is binding uni
formly in dark green morocco. There Is
a little tooling and some gold employed,
but the effect is extremely simple and
dignifed. Such hand work Is distinctly
art and has been SO reckoned for many
centuries.
