MRS. CATS NEW DRESS IDEAS
Suggests Ample Trousers, Vice Skirts,
Chinese Style-Time for Sar
toria independence.

torial Independence.
New York.-"Make a bonfire of your
hats; throw away your corsets and
wear trousers instead of these ridicu-
lous tight skirts is the recommends
ton of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, the
suffragette leader, to the Equal Suf-
frage league in her report of her two
years round-the-world campaign in be-
half of votes for women
My trip around the globe convinced
me" says Mrs. Gait, that my own
countrywomen are the most fettered,
sartorially, to be found anywhere.
Compared with the Chinese women the
American woman is almost as helpless
as a baby
1T is time for the western women
to kick herself free from the swaddling
draperies which the Parisians send
over to us. We should declare our
independence in dress as we have in
politics and the sooner we do it the
better for health, happiness and the
cause"
Mrs. Gait advocates the Chinese
dress, or a modification of it, because
it is the most sanitary, healthful,
comfortable and artistic costume
woman can wear She describes the
Chinese costume as including "loose,
stralght-hanging trousers, made of
SILK or other material and over this
garment straight loose coat which
comes below the knees usually, and
buttons over one side. This garment is
collarless, with sleeves that are half
tight and end between the elbow and
the wrist"

THECOUNTRYBANkS
COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY IN
ANNUAL REPORT TELLS
OF BUSINESS.
BANKING POWERS INCREASING FAST
Saws Banks Are in Best Condition
Only Eight Nationals, Totaing
About One Million Dollars,
Failed During Year.

Observation-Disclosures in general,
as reflected in the condition OF the
banks of the United States, has shared
in the countrys prosperity, according
to Comptroller of Currency Lawrence
O. Murray in his annual report.
Enormous Total Banking Power.
The banking power of the nation.
represented by capital, surplus, profits.
deposits and circulation, reached dur
ing the year the enormous total OF
$22,34S, 707, 900, a high record, showing
an increase of 569 per cent over 1911
and 27.S per cent over 1908. Since 1900
the banking power has increased Ill
per cent, or more than doubled. Dur
ing the last II years the number OF
banks has increased by over 107 per
cent and their volume Of business as
indicated by deposits shows an in
crease of over 1877 per cent.
The comptrollers report consists of
a mass of statistics, with analysis,
most of which previously have been
published.
In connection with the rates in
money, which recently have been soar
ing. the comptroller simply observes
that the rates were normal up to Au-
gust, with tightening of the money
market thereafter
Big Cities Deficient.
According to the last condition re-
port, September 4, the comptroller
points out that New York and Chicago
were slightly deficient in the amount
of their legal reserves and ST. Louis
slightly excessive. Banks in the major
portion of other reserve cities were
also slightly deficient, but country
banks maintain an excess of the legal
requirements.
Less than 70 per cent of the total
amount of banknotes which the ma
tional banks might circulate under the
law has been issued. Based upon the
September 4 reports the banks might
increase their circulation by $321,927,-
060, Mr.. Murray says
The national banks, the report indi-
Gates, held over so per cent of the
bonded debt of the United States in
the way of security for circulation and
public deposits and as investments.
Good Dividends Paid.
During the fiscal year, 1912, the ma
tional banks paid dividends aggregat-
ing $120,300,S72, or 11.66 per cent on
capital and 66.93 per cent on capital
and surplus combined. The net earn
ings of $149.056,6O3 were equivalent to
1853 per cent of capital and surplus.
During the last AZ years the banks
have paid an average annual dividend
of 9.17 per cent on the capital stock.
Eight national banks, with an ag-
gregate capital of $1,1O0,0OO, failed
during the year ended October 81,
while SO national banks with an aggre-
gate capital of 21605,250 were placed

The Borino Is an animal that may
be found at the summer resorts and

thinks everyone admires 1t. You
have to speak to It several times be-

long black curly hair and seldom
smiles. 1t only wears a smile when
bathing, according to rumors The
Borino likes to be jollied and has
known to spend as much AZ
twenty cents on a person who called
1t Handsome Another fault of the
Borino is that it borrows money and
forgets to pay 1t back. Ice cream

SPOONING CALLED LOST ART

Let us for a moment turn from the
turmoil of politics and contemplate
the classic precincts of Annapolis. In
that old town, famous for its state
house and its crabs, Is situated the IN
stitution which supplies us with u
gold braided officers Of the navy. At

srimly asserts that the new and I'm
posing granite buildings have taken
the romance out OF the place and that
flirting is not the sweet and tender
thing Of long ago. Wherefore, he ut
tiers loud lamentations and signs for
the days Of old.

PRINCIPAL DID
NOT PASS LAW
Prof. KIsinhans Denies Ridi-
CulOus Runners.

In reference to a report which has
been circulated Prof. Edgar II. Klein
hans, principal of the high school,
stated to a NEWS reporter that the
ruling forbidding varsity athletes
from playing with club teams was
not made by him. Only those who
are unacquainted with school affairs
would make such a ridiculous state
ment, for when the ruling was pass
ed all the students knew of it's origin
and it was published In the sporting
page of the NEWS. This school law,
which DR.. Bernard Feldman, of the
Y. M. H. A.. seems opposed to, was
made by the executive board of the
athletic association of the high
school, which is comprised of male
members of the faculty and the man
ayers of the varsity squads.
Professor Kleinhans presided over
the meeting when the rule was pro-
posed and only acted as chairman
during the proceedings. Mr.. Ruff
ner, of the faculty, motioned that
the ruling be passed and this was
seconded by Mr.. Sturgis. A vote
was taken and only the following
voted: Professors Sturgis, Ruffner,
Williamson, Ramsay and Hitzelberg,
and Barney Browning, manager of
the track team; William B~oughton,
manager of the basketball team, and
David Wilentz, manager of the base
ball team. Professor Kleinhans did
not cast a vote nor did he do more
than act as chairman OF the meeting.
However, despite the fact that
Professor K%leinhans was not active
in passing the ruling, he is heartily
in favor of 1t and believes he had
noticed improvement over several
last year in the few months in which
the ruling relgned. Another denial
which was made by Professor Klein
hans was that the ruling was not
"iron-clad," because the students
who averaged 80 or over would be
allowed to play with club teams as
well as varsity teams. Barney
Browning, who played with the
Dens, was a member of the varsity
and he was allowed to play with
both because his work was above the
80 Grade.

In yesterdays game nearly the
whole lineup was put on the hospi-

physician in an automobile immedi-

be kept out of the game for more
than a month. 1t was while attempt

Jack met with the accident. AL
though Butch only allowed five
hits during his stay on the mound,
his teammates did little in helping
him, making eight big black errors.
