CURRENCY MEASURE
TO PREVENT PAN|CS

From Convention, Be

Says.
LITTLE AFFECT HERE

Il At new currency measure, which
has passed the house, will not affect
Richmond banks and will be a positive
preventative of pancs," said President
A. d. Gayle, of the First National
bank, who has just returned from a
convention or the American Bankers
association at Boston, Mass,
Most OF the time was taken up by
the body discussing the bill. Mr.. Gayle
said, as an organization, the bankers
were opposed to the measure, although
many individuals favored it, The pro-
visions, he said, were direct blow at
Wall street and the larger city banks.
These men, whose interests it would
injure, oppose the currency reform,
and had sufficient power to dictate the
policy of the whole organization.
The effect upon the amount of bust
ness done by local banks would not
be perceptible either way, Mr.. Gayle
believes, after hearing the measure
discussed from all angles. The only
thing would be the necessity of chang
ing some of the methods now used
Reserve in Small Banks.
The bill, he said, was intended to
prevent the accumulation of capital in
the Wall Street banks, and would
keep the reserve of the smaller banks
in the district in which the money cir
culates. Instead of the complicated
system of handling reserves which in
the past has caused money to drift
to New Yorw, it will be kept in the
Federal Reserve banks.
Twelve districts are provided for
with a reserve bank in each district,
from which other banks may obtain
emergency currency by giving short
time commercial notes"
The currency which is issued in re-
turn of this collateral is backed first
by the bank issuing it, then by the
Federal Reserve bank, and finally by

Guiding the secretary of the treasury,
the controller and his secretary and
four other men to be appointed by the
president. The bankers opposition to
the bill, Mr.. Gayle said, was based up
on this provision. They claim they
will not be represented on the board,
which will control the banks, and the
currency.
Two other features, he said, were in
cluded in the bill. National banks will
be allowed to lend a certain reasona-
BILE amount on real estate This will
probably be restricted to a certain
amount of the banks capital. State
banks will be admitted to the benefits
of the reserve banks if they pass the
examinations to which the national
banks submit

Reeipe for Maklna Jokes.

There is nothing any easier than
writing Jokes. Simply jot down your
ideas for the jokes, say two or three
hundred. on a slip of paper: then seat
yourself before a typewriter. Feed
blank paper into the typewriter and
inject the ideas through your finger
tips into sthe keys. Continue to do
this until all of the ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather up the
Jokes, which have piled themselves
into heap on the opposite side of the
typewriter, send them to editors and
receive your checks. A couple of
