James K. Lynch Back From
Conference With Secre-
tary of Treasury

James X. Lynch, president San Fran
cisco Clearing House association and
vice president First National bank,
was at his desk in the latter institu-
tion yesterday following his return
from Washington, d. c., where with
other bankers. he was in conference
with Secretary W. C. McAdoo and as
sistant Secretary John Shelton Will
liams concerning the distribution Of
government funds for aid in moving
When I left Washington" said Mr..
Lynch, the California allotment of
the governments S50,000,000 had not
TO distribute the funds so as TO do the
slnost good for the greatest possible
number of farmers having crops to
move. The south will get the largest
share, because the need there is great.
The California allotment will be di-
Vlded between the clearing house cities
of San Francisco and Los Angeles, and
these will pass it on to the smaller
cities"
Banks receiving government deposits
must have an outstanding circulation
authorized by law The funds are to
be deposited to aid in crop moving
only, and can be received by the banks
for this purpose only and not for spec
ulation or to discharge obligations to
other banks.
AS security, banks must deposit with
tiAC CH4lGQ CldlGS treasury DOuQS To
at least 10 per cent of the amount of
their deposits. The remainder can be
secured by state and municipal bonds
which must be approved by the secre-
tary and which will be accepted at rs
per cent Of their market value. Time.
commercial or business paper will be
accepted at So per cent Of its face value
and must bear the Endorsement of the
bank offering 1t.
The secretary Will appoint board of
SIX members, i've to be selected by
the Clearing House association of the
home city of the bank applying for the
deposit, and the sixth to be desig-
mated by the secretary. The board will
pass on the security offered.
Fifty per cent of the allotments to
10 the banks within 10 days. to be
followed by the other half in Septem-
ber The same rule will be followed
IN respect to the west. IT is probable
TO the south.
The withdrawal of these deposits will
be begun on December Is, next when
20 per cent will be called in other
Withdrawals will be made February 8
and March l. Depository banks must
pay per cent interest on the average
balance maintained during the period
OF deposit and must, in addition pay
all expenses incident to the deposit.
Mr. Lynch reported that he found
out the country excepting in Kansas
southern Nebraska and part of Okla
homa, which had been badly affected
by drought and hot winds. Crops of
illinois, Wisconsin and North Dakota
were particularly good.
Concerning financial conditions in the
east he found much easier feeling
IN New York and Chicago than upon
the occasion of his visit to those cities
in May last.

BY CLARISSA MACklE

Mrs. Cheney closed the front door
softly and walked slowly down the
graveled path. She had slender.
erect figure, with abundant gray hair
neatly arranged. and there were nicely
of materials and a refinement Of color
and detail about her plain costume that
set her a little apart from the group of
women in the room she had just left.
THAT announcement gave her ter
rible shock" said Amanda Waters, with
a grim smile, as she resumed her stitch

An Uncomfortable Silvia

The hat elongated at the back is not
comfortable to wear In cars where the
seats have low backs and the window
recesses are so shallow that If one at
throws the head forward. But the
elongated hat brim Is incontestably
the style. and womankind must submit
to an aching back and the danger of
round shoulders for the next few
months. Very often a long wired
feather or ribbon quill shooting out
backward increases the elongated eff
feet and incidentally the discomforts,
but woman submits uncomplainingly
because, forsooth, It's the mode.

The State Board Of Health.

The authority vested in the state
Board OF Health in the maintenance
of good health by supprcssing filih
wherever it may be located, can no
longer be disputed, since This right
has been affirmed by the Supreme
Court of The State Of Louisiana.
This decree was reached in The case
of Adolph Susslin, baker of Al
giers, whose bakery was closed on
the order of the State Board be-
cause il was unsanitary and he had
declined peremptorily to clean ii
and make it sanitary. In sense
Susslin's action was on the order of
a defiance of the authority of the
state Board of Health, but, in eX-
tenuation of this attitude he would
have obeyed the same mandate if it
had been given on the authority OF
the local board.
The decision Of The Supreme
Court aillrms The position of-Dr
Oscar Bowling, whose authority in
the regulation Of sanitation for the
preservation of health is absolute,
not only in New Orleans but
throughout the State.
II is only reasonable to ASSUME
that the authority of the State
Board of Health would become far
steal if it were in the power of in
dividuals to refuse, as did this baker
of Algiers, to comply with the SAM
tary regulations. And if the au-
thority of the Board of Health could
be defled and nulliied by individ-
uals community's health would
soon be in peril from the defiance
OF the mandates Of the health au-
thorities of the State and of The
municipalities to insist on the OBJ
servance of proper and necessary
sanitation.
The decision Of the Supreme
Court in this case should be ap-
proved by all good citizens who APP
preciate the value of health. Al
ways health against wealth. Always
health before wealth.

GORGEOUS LINING
FOR SMART JACKETS
The Inside Of Goats Look Like
Picture Galleries.

Innings have grown Important. They
are no longer the last choice III a cos
tune. When woman goes to the
tailor or a dressmaker now to order
clothes she is astonished at the eager
way in which Innings are offered for
her inspection, and she Is far more
astonished ut the color and quantity Of
this interior decoration.
If she has not followed the fashion
news of the day she wonders why all
this excitement about the yard or so
of silk that will be put into the jacket
or transparent blouse. but one days
shopping convinces her that the world
Of dress has gone mad about Innings
They are called by various names
but the one common name of chintz
lining covers the whole outlook There
are artistic minds that divide them
into orchard silks. landscape silks.
barnyard silks and, one might add.
jungle sllks--in fact. you can make a
picture gallery out of the inside of
your coat with any one of them.
Possibly the fruit silks so much be-
loved by Paul Poiret and used by him
last year are the ones which appeal
strongly to the popular mind. These
have peaches. crab apples. red apples
and pears on,a blue or brown or cream
foundation.
The landscape silks have foliage and
vines and tree trunks in various shades
Of brown and green on brilliant sur
face. The jungle kind shows luxuriant
tropical flowers. to say nothing Of bright
green parrakeets on tree limbs But the
designers Of Innings go further than
this. They have strutting peacocks
among flowers and shrubs and long
tailed parrots with scarlet crests. Any.
thing like a display of old English
gardens in Innings is really mild this
spring The woman who goes around
with clusters of bachelors buttons and
forgetmenots against sky blue back
ground feels that she has chosen quite
a demure inside for her jacket She
Ia conservatively dressed In compari-
son with her gay sister who has chosen
the strutting peacock and the scarlet
crested parrot.
