Stunt parties" as college students term
them, are not by any means restricted to
dorrnftory and campus. In this age when the
ability to amuse guests at a house party or
st an informal evening gathering IS
thoroughly appreciated by the hostess every
girl should be able to do her part.
There are always the popular girls who can
dash of the latest musical hits on the piano
or who can sing them. Fancy dancing in

VANDERBILT MONEY
PLAN IS SURPRISE
Proposition For Government
Bank Finds Supporters in
House and Senate.

A new element has been thrown into
the currency legislation situation by
the announcement of the plan of Frank
A. Vanderlip. president Of the National
City Bank of New York. He proposes
that the Government create a nublicly
owned and publicly controlled central
bank, to be absolutely out of the hands
Of the banks. and his proposal caused
little short of sensation in Senate and
House circles.
Despite the fact it comes from one of
the aolest bankers of New York, who
heads one of its greatest financial in
stitutions, the plan of Mr.. vanderlip Is
recognized as a more radical one than
the Administration plan, and one which.
In some respects. at least, Is likely to
find popular support.
The idea that the public should own
the central banking institution or or
ganization has been held by many men
at both ends of the Capitol. and that
idea is strengthened by Mr.. vanderlip's s
advocacy.
Whether a central bank or a regional
banking system with a central control
is provided for. there Is no doubt a
strong effort will be made to have 1t
publicly owned.
1t is pointed out as an interesting
fact that the head Of the>very financial
institution which Secretary McAdoo has
been assailing now comes forward with
a PROPOSAL which makes the Admins
tration currency plan look conservative
so far as certain basic principles are
concerned.
In other words. Mr.. Vanderlip has
presented a plan, which is not withou,
embarrassment to the Administration
1t is believed in many quarters that the
President and his advisers cannot af-
ford to antagonize the idea Of public
10 tla al 1o lit
ganization.
The Senate committee will give its last
hearing on the Administrator currency
bill tomorrow.
