Although recognizing the imperfect or

reformation Of the currency. preferring TO
leave the task Of celebrating such plan
with Congress. and merely pressing upon
that body the necessity for providing

you, however, recommends that if the

providing an emergency currency the Sec
rotary should be granted authority 70

that his discretion is limited and his
hands virtually tied in times OF emer-

Food for the strenuous.

Last nights bear dinner at the White
House was one Of a series Of more or less
unique entertainments given in that hos
pitable mansion since Mr.. Roosevelt en-
tered il. The President believes in having
a good time, and forthwith proceeds TO
have Il in his own way and after his
own fashion, regardless.
While individual Americans may enter
tain doubts of various kinds concerning
the unallOyed delights Of bear meat as the
