out last night also favored reducing the
amount of the subscription to the CAPT
talization. Of the reserve banks to be re-
CURED from the member banks from 20
per cent to 10 per cent He said that he
believed no other government officer than
the Secretary OF the Treasury should be
member of the, federal reserve board
he recommended changes in the pro-
vision applying to savings banks ana
advocated the transfer of reserves to the
regional banks In more gradual manner
than that provided in the Glass bill.
Changes In the administration currency
bill that would give lower interest rates
to the people of the newer states OF the
west are advocated by Senators Hitch
cock, democrat, and Weeks. republican.
They insist that all sections of the new
country should enjoy the same rates OF
rediscount under the federal reserve
blank plan. They concede that such
system undoubtedly would bring down in
terest rates In western states where
money Is now earning high rates. Both
senator's insisted, however, that all points
of the country were entitled to equal
benefits under the new currency laws.

districts.

to the committee by Senator Thomas. The
plan was d avn by William A. Amberg

The Real Marvel of the Ages;
Woman Who Could Not Talk.

n T seems that at last scientists have stum-
bled upon the marvel of the ages. For
1 in the opinion of the biologists and an-
thropologists who were gathered lately in
the Geological society's rooms in London
there was a time in England when there
lived a simian like woman who could not
talk.
No event of recent years has caused quite
the same eommotion in the annals of an
thropologcal history, for the discovery IS
claimed in scientific circles as forging an
other link in the chain of evidence which
goes to prove that man has evolved from the
same origin as the ape. The find consists Of
the upper part of skull and a part of the
lower jaw of once living creature, in
gravel pit in Sussex
No geologst is able to fix the date of the
creatures life. 1t may have been ten thou
sand or hundred thousand, or million
but the fact remains that from the size and
share of the skull and jaw it is considered
safe in assuming that while the creatures of
that period We're in no way apes, but be-
longed quite indisputably TO the human race,
they were still sufficiently undeveloped to be
unable to talk

Some Ways You May Get Eats
If You're Ever Up Against 1t.

In Philadelphia the occupation of mending
dolls and toys for little girls was created by an
old lady who loitered about the walks and
parks, carrying with her simple cement
preparation with which to do the mending. In
the summer she earned much as $5 week,
and in the winter months she went from house
to house asking to do such work.
The chances to display ones personality for
advertising purposes and small weekly sti-
pend seem innumerable We have all seen at
some time or other the well dressed man in
evening clothes walking down the street, dis
playing on a transparent shirt front the brand
of some liquor or cigar.
The window vaudeville" too, is another
popular way for stranded individuals to earn
a bit of welcome money. There is the young
man who gets 81 week for showing the pass
ing crowds how TO manipulate the newfangled
tie or lately manufactured razor.
