BANKERS IN STORM
OVER RESERVE PLAN
ONel HOOted When He Rallied
to Defense of Administration.
WHO SHALL CONTROL 1T?
McRae Attacks Language of Hep
burn That President and Con,
gress Are Pack of Socialists.

Boston, Oct. 8.-The bankers of
the United States again today declar-
ed their opposition to the proposed
federal reserve plan of reform in the
currency and banking system.
With only one dissenting voice OF
the final vote more than 1000 bank
ers from all sections OF the country,
gathered at today's session of the an
nual convention of the American
Bankers Association, ratified the &C
tion of the conference of bankers in
demanding amendments to the fed
eral reserve act now pending in Con-
gress. The financiers also approved
the work of their own currency com
mission which reported the system of
governmental control proposed in the
Glass-Owen bill to be socialistic and
imposing "unwise hardships on the
banks and equally unwise hardships
on the general public"
APPROVAL FOR PRESIDENT.
The resolution in which this ratifi-
cation and approval was contained
also included commendation of the
President, the secretary of the tras-
ury and Congress for efforts to create
in this country an elastic as we'll as
safe currency and pledged them
nearly support Tor the enactment OF
proper legislation to that end"
The addition of this paragraph as
an amendment to the resolution was
proposed by former Congressman
Joseph II. O'Neil Of Boston Mr.
O'Neil was one of several speakers
whose remarks had previously been
audibly hooted when they rallied to
the defense Of the administration.
Acting President Arthur Reynolds
of Des Moines, in his annual report.
had criticised the currency bill; and
former Congressman Ebenezer ]. Hill
OF Norwalk, Conn, had attacked the
good faith OF the administration and
introduced resolutions against the
bill when ex-Congressman Thomas
! G.. MacRae OF Arkansas, took the
| floor. His attempted defense OF the
government was treated with de-
rision. Mr.. MacRae stood his ground
saying. "I am banker myself but I
am unwilling to sanction the Ian
guage OF Chairman Hepburn of the
currency Commission, when ne charg-
/ ed the President and Congress of this
republic with being a pack of So

The Moth and the Candle.

Ii is not because the moth il light
hearted. Needless and utterly frivolous,
as we have always been told. that IL
plunges hcadlonG into the flame, but
because of the way that its body is
constructed. says Karmptfert the well
known student OF physical science.
There are two symmetrical points, eX-
aCtly alike chemically, on the moths
body namely. its eyes. If the rays of
light modify the chemical conditions
of one side more than the other then
the moths power of movement is af-
feCted. There is Il stronger muscular
tension on one side than on the other.
and the moth is forced 10 move toward
the source of light. If. however. one
OF the eyes is removed the chemical
symnetery is destroyed and instead
Of plunging into the tame il moves
about in circle. There are other ami
mails and insects besides the moth
which are hopelpSSly in the grip Of
light. If a snail il placed between a
white wall ana Il black wall the un-
equal lightin. forces it to crawl in a

Australian eats. Apparently he has
the best appetite. if not the best digeS-

meat. which works out at an average
of two sheep and one-tfth of a bull

twice as much meat as the average
Englishman. three times as much as
the average Frenchman and four times

First Civilization.

1t was in Egypt in all probability
that the condition we call civilization
had its rise at time when the very
idea of writing was unknown to other
nations. An attempt is now being
made to show that the idea Of the set
tied and more or less orderly and
peaceful social state to which we give
the name of civilization came from
Chaldea or Babylonia. when that sort
Of thing existed long before it was
brought to Egypt. But not as yet is
the theory clearly proved. though its
advocates are making some pretty
strong points in its favor. So far. how
ever. the land Of Egypt holds the title.

ROOMS DECORATED IN BLACK
New Idea Comes From Vienna and
Reflection Will Show It Has Much
to Recommend 1t.

Behold black now as the fashionable
color of the interior decorator. The
liking for it arose in Vienna, where
interior decorating is an art much
thought of. There some of the new
houses. or rooms which have been re-
decorated, show wall papers with black
backgrounds, in which huge, bright
flowers are printed. Carpets, too, are
OF black. The idea of this method of
decorating is. apparently. to make the
room strictly a background for the
furniture and persons in it. The
brightly lowered paper, of couse, de-
tracts from this effect, but the sort of
paper more often used does not have
the bright flowers. 1t shows a black
ground, with a gray or misty white
figure
In room thus grounded pictures
framed in black are hung. The effect
is startling. The pictures stand out in
reality from their somber surround
ings. White enameled furniture is
looked on with favor for use in black
rooms. Surely such setting would
give the persons in it chance to shine
forth in all the glory Of color lent
them by skin and eyes, hair and
clothes. On the other hand, wouldn't
a room so furnished cast a depress-
ing spell on the woman who found
herself shut within its four walls for
many hours in a day?
There is an outgrowth of this craze
for black which is interesting, espe-
cially to those who live in apartments
or other crowded quarters, where the
kitchen as well as the other rooms of
the house comes under occasional in
spection of guests. This is the black
enamaled jar or box for cakes, bread
and grocery supplies OF various sorts.
it is painted brilliantly with big red
roses, and makes an, interesting note
Of color. Six boxes or jars of this
sort ranged in orderly array on
shelves give a distinctive note to the
the most uninteresting pantry or
kitchen.

known as the "Medras," or high

Bagdad of Haroun's days. This. too,

has little to offer, and the British res

Bagdad amongst Europeans has much
to recommend itself. Everyone seems

as perpleXing as the query put to me
by another little maiden. who asked:
What do angels do with their wings
when they lie down and go to bed?'
Very quaint was the idea of a little
girl who was once visiting a house
where a small child had died recently.
She was asked to draw something. SO
she drew grave with some flowers
on it. Her mother, on seeing it, said:
jamie, you mustn't do that; Mrs. -
wouldn't like it. You see. it reminds
her of very sad things Oh, well,
