President Navin of the Detroit Tigers
has formulated an idea that may be
accepted with general appreciation by
the American fandom. Navin lives in
hopes of seeing games slated for double
headers chopped down to seven innings
each. Double bills usually consume
about four hours anyway, and towards
the close of the second contest interest
seems to wane. The prolonged playing
period is a great strain on the players,
and there seems little doubt that Ma
wins idea would be accepted without a
murmur from the players, fans and club
owners alike.

inaceessihiity that would accrue to
most OF the states IL we adopted only
eight regional reserve banks, 1t seems
10 me that the business demands Of the
country and our vast population, and
many OF our greatest cities, all demand
by reason of the greatest necessity,
that twelve or more regional reserve
banks should be provided for in the
new law now before congress instead
OF eight And We feel sure that the
people generally would be very largely
In favor of twelve or more regional
reserve banks, established in the more
important sections of our country, ana
that IL a less number should be adopted
we feel that the people will be very
greatly disappointed In not getting The
Immediate aeeomm odations which they
would like to have at all times in Sc
curing whatever money they might
need in connection with their business
affairs. With twelve or more regional
reserve banks provided for in the pro-
posed currency law, the congress would
have much less trouble In giving gem
eral satisfaction to the representatives
of the people in distributing the great
err number of banks over the country
while on the other hand with only
eight regional reserve banks | am sure
that the peoples representatives in
congress will not be satisfied with this
number OF banks as well as the vast
population OF the great majority of
States throughout the country.
We have offered the above sug-
gestions In the hope that they viii
give some aid not only TO the people $
representatives, in congress, but VIII be
conducive to such principles In the new
currency law as will enable the people
throughout the country To generally
give their approval to said law after
Il has become operative among them.

around on time to meet the constant

doing an annual business OF two hum

Judging from the above statements
and figures II would seem that we
would be perfectly safe in saying that
the country today needs anywhere
from one TO two billions OF money
to meet the business demands OF our
people and relieve their financial en-
barrassments as existing during the

and put into circulation on the diff
ferent kinds OF securities specified in
the said currency law? We answer by
saying that we think this should be
done at once by the proposed cur
rency law now before the United
States senate and house of represent
tatives, and that this action would
be greatly preferable to using the two

In referring to this question / de-
sire to ask is the volume Of money
now in circulation and az existing with
the federal government, sufficient 10
meet the business demands Of our peo-
pie and country Replying to this
question / desire to mention the fact
that Mr.. Shaw. while secretary of the
treasury. laid great street upon the
fact that thu volume OF national cur
rency was not only insufficient, but
gre atty unelasac in response To the
increasing business demapda of our
people and country; and ne strongly
intlmatea that bank troubles and bush
ness troubles would generally prevail
from time TO time among the people
SO long al tho national currency was
Insufficient and uneiastic TO the bust
ness demands. Also, Secretary Nc
Weigh, in one or more of his annual
reports to congress, made the state
bent that the banks throughout the
country were reporting as having on
de posit sixteen billions Of dollars and
he very pointedly asked the question:
How could this be possible when we
had only three billions OF money in
the United States In the banks and
outside OF the barks?' And he called
attention 10 the fact that about four
taen billions OF these reyN.rted de-
posts consisted OF various kinds of
negotiable credit paper generally used
by the banks, And In this connection
desire to state that this same con-
disfon now very largely and generally
obtains. and IL Is self-evident to any

amount of credit paper being carried
by the banks, that II is no wonder

Canoe CLUB To
HAVE BIG YEAR
Commodore Rutherford An
.nounces Aquatic Sport for
Coming Summer.
PROGRAM STARTS MAY ;
Closed Regatta on This Date Followed
by Inter- Club Meet Deco
ration Day.

AT members smoker at the Wash
ington Canoe Club. the aquatic pro-
gramme for the coming summer was
announced by Reginald Rutherford,
commodore of the club.
II Is the intention Of Commodore
Rutherford, with the cooperation of
all the members of the club, to make
this season the best ever experienced
by any organization of Its kind on
the Potomac, and thus far everything
looks very encouraging. as quite a
number of canoeing enthusiasts have
joined the club during the past win
ter months. In addition to the large
number of events on the clubs pro-
gramme. the club will be represented
in every other canoeing regatta held
this summer. which means there will
be something doing for the Washing
ton lads right along through the sea-
son.
The programme starts on the third
Saturday in May. On that day the
club will begin the season with
closed regatta, open to members only.
This will get the fellows in shape for
the regatta to be held by the Inter
Club Canoe Association Decoration
Day. at Sycamore Island. Following
this the club will hold a second closed
regatta about the middle of June,
for the regatta to be held by the safe
and sane committee on July 4.
The biggest event of the season for
the contests will come next, the big
open regatta Of the club, on the 21st of
July. A lantern parade and a comedy
regatta or water circus, in which there
will be shown various amusing water
and canoeing stunts. will finish the pro-
gramme and close the season.
In addition to all the above events,
Messrs. Rutherford and De Lashmut
have planned to hold a series of canoeing
contests, to be held at intervals during
the summer for the purpose of deter
mining the all-around canoeing cham
pion of the club. This series will be
open to club members only. and will in
clude all the standard events in canoe
racing.
The scoring will be done by a system
of points, based on the places won in
the several events. The first man in
each event win get points to his
credit, the second to receive 8, and the
third 10 get 1 point. With the weather
and water warming up the season will
soon be in full swing, and in view of
the increased interest which has been
shown in the sport the coming year
should eclipse all previous years by q
wide margin.
