MACVEAGH'S ADVICE ASKED
Bank Stock Ownership Problem
Puzzles Monetary Commission.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The National None
tary Commission, which will report plan
for banking and currency reform to Con-
gress on January s, has asked Secretary
Macveagh TO suggest practical provision
of law that would prevent the stocks OF
banks from falling into the hands Of other
banks or corporations formed for the pur-
rose OF controlling the banks. The comInis-
sion unable TO frame a feasible statute 10
meet the situation. asked the advice OF the
Secretary. who said In his annual report
that the new law must prohibit any BANK
affiliated with the proposed National Re-
serve Association from owning stock IN
any independent bank.
II would be easy. II is pointed out by the
commission, to prevent bank from owning
the stocks OF other banks. but to be ef-
fective. II Is added. the prohibition must
be extended to corporations which are not
banks The commission so far has been
unable TO find the place to draw the line.
A blanket provision against all corporations
buying bank stocks, 1t Is argued. would
deprive even universities from such proper
and profitable investments. Unless the new
law includes corporations in its prohibition
the argument is made that II would not
cover such an agency as the National CITY
Company allied with the National City
Bank OF New York, which recently d.
vested itself Of It's bank stocks.
Practically all other features of the bill
which the commission will send to Con-
gress have been completed. The proposed
law will carry out the Adrich plan OF re-
form, amended with view to preventing
any possibility of the large banks exercis-
ing a dominant influence In the National
Reserve Association.

COMMERCIAL CLUB
DIRECTORS MEETING
Changing ~lnterurban Route Was Dis
cussed at Length After Com
mittees Reported.

The regular weekly meeting of the
board of directors of the Commercial
Club was held at Carnegie library this
morning at 10 o'clock. The extension
or changing of the route of the inter.
urban line was the chief topic of dis
cussion.
Prof. John H. Allen, chairman of the
Ursuline avenue extension committee,
made the report for his committee,
which was very favorable to the pro-
posed extension. Prof. Allen stated
that the committee had investi-
gated the matter and found the prop
erty owners willing to place their land
on the market to home builders. Prof.
Allen also stated that one of the prin-
cipal inducements for the extension
was the fact that the students of Allen
Academy would average 600 trips TO
town per week, meaning $50 in fares
each week from Allen Academy alone,
and not including the other patronage
from that section.
Mr.. Fred Cavitt reported for the
committee on investigating the condi-
tons along the present line and stated
that some of the property owners
would market their land while others
absolutely refused.
Mr.. Guy P. Bittle reported for the
Westside committee and this report
showed the property to be
most liberal in offering inducements
to secure the interurban line on the
Westside.
The reports of the committees and
the general question were thoroughly
discussed. A motion prevailed author
izing a conference between General
Manager Gammil and each of the COM
mittees to be held before the next
meeting.

THE FLY'S TRAIL.

If your eyes were as good as a fly
you could see that wherever he walks
ON your food or across your baby's
face-he leaves a trail, a sort of milky
way of tiny specks. Again, if youl
eyes were as sharp as a microscope
you could see that each of these tiny
specks was matter. Unless you are a
chemist you might not be able to just
tell what this matter was composed of,
but if you know anything about the
habits of the NY you could make a
pretty good guess. 1t would be filth of
some sort, gathered in the garbage
can or some other unhealthful place.
Why make such a fuss about washing
the baby's hands and face, and allow
the dirty NY to leave his trail at will?
Swat the fly, and swat him early, be-
cause if he gets a start he will repro
duce faster than you can swat. Better

cheaply. We now pay millions of dol
lars for pork which can be produced
on peanuts for one-half what it now
costs. The peanut brings a good price
on the market because the demand
has always exceeded the supply, and
at 70 cents to $1.00 a bushel, is a
money crop equal to cotton at 10 to
II cents a pound. The peanut-certain
varieties-can be made in four months
and is suitable for use as a catch crop
after oats and wheat, in the part of
the cotton belt which is best suited
to its growth. Let us grow the peanut,
but let the increase in acreage be
sane and safe or of slow growth so
that we may learn how to handle it
