New York, Jan. 17.-Judge Hough

get at the bottom of Mr.. Harriman's

ALDRlCH BILL is SCORED.
Bankers Call II Step Backward tc
Days of Wildcat Currency.


Days of Wildcat Currency.
Chicago, Jan. 20.--The resolutions
committee of the currency commits
sion of the American Bankers asso-
citation has issued full report of the
meeting of the commission at which
the various asset currency plans now
before congress were discussed and
rejected.
The report summarizes the commits
sion's objections to the Aldrich bill
and the present Fowler bill and then
presents a bill In thirteen sections,
which the commission, with the back
ing of the association, will recommend
to congress.
The Aldrich bill Is declared to be
"fmpracticable, unwise and financially
unsound" The Fowler bill, according
to the report, introduces schemes so
farreaching in their scope and touch
ing so many collateral interests not
germane to the real solution of our
currency difficulties that we believe
its passage would unsettle rather than
improve financial conditions"
The proposed Aldrich law is called
a "step backwards to the conditions
which gave rise to the wildcat cur.
rency before the Civil war"

The apple which has made Virginia
famous at home and abroad Is the Yel-
low Newtown, otherwise known as the
Albemarle Pippin.
Whether pomologists accept the name
Albemarle Pippin or persist In calling
this apple the Yellow Newtown makes
little difference, for ii will always be
known by Virginians and in the trade
by the name of Albemare Pippin. The
high state of perfection attained by
this apple fully merits this distinction
and the almost fabulous prices often
received for IT. Ii Is not usual for our

the negro is naturally less susceptible

said also that the darker the patient,
the more probable is the cure of the
disease.
Through the National Association
for the study and prevention of tuDer-
culosis white women's clubs will be
appealed to to help negro women,
many of whom are employed in white
homes as servants, to acquire a bet
.er understanding of the advantage OF
proper sanitation.
