Stanley earnestly begged the committee to

decided that precisely as 50 ss sounds much
less to a woman in search of bargains than
an anxious public than the full amount

ADMINISTRATION GRATIFIED.--There
Is much qualification in administration cir
cIes over the prospect that the report oi
the National Monetary Commission VIII be
unanimous, for only those who are famllar
with the serious differences which had 10
be reconciled can realize how great an
achievement such report will be INCL
dentally. such a report will put to the blush
the pessimistic predictions OF Senator cum
MINIS, who has held that no good "olud
come out Of the creation and deliberations
Of the commission. or course. the terri
torial distribution Of the control Of the pro-
nosed reserve organization has gone far 70
al.ay suspicion and TO satisfy those who
have studied the merits Of the plan, but II
NAV be recalled that such distribution Of
control has been the desire OF ex-senator
Adrich from the first, and that he has
welcomed every practicable step In that
direction. II Is admitted that a number OF
minor amendments may be proposed when
the plan comes formally before Congress
which will improve the machinery of the
plan. but all that will so serve will be
gratefully accepted by the members of the
commission. q. u. ii.
