A Century Auo.

One hundred years ago, following
the battle of the barges," Commodore
carney and his little raval force were
resting in the Patuxent river. awaiting
developments. The British had learned
wisdom from their late defeat, and
contented themselves with blockading
the mouth of the river, and leaving
the Americans undisturbed in their
retreat. After several weeks of mac
ton the British determined upon an
other attempt to DESTROY the American
tiotilla as move preliminary to adj
vancing with their land forces upon
Washington. But Commodore Barney
frustrated their plans by sending his
barges farther up the river, where the
larger vessels of the enemy could not
follow. Commodore Barney, knowing
the defense OF the national capital was
Of far greater importance than the
fate of his lotilla, finally decided to
destroy his beats and send his men

Smartenlng Black Frock.

To brighten and smarter a black
frock in satin or crepe de chine, there
is nothing equal to golden-colored ma
terial on the collar, the cuffs and the
sash end. Depending entirely upon
the age OF woman and the occasion
for which she needs the frock, these
golden touches must be applied. The
collar, the cuffs and the sash end may
be wholly of gold lace yelling cloth Of

Be Better Than For
Months.

1t is said that the August report Of
the Baltimore and Ohio will show a
slight improvement Of that in July

mediately proceeding. It is believed
the lifting of the grain embargo and
the free movement OF this freight to
the seabOard has had something to
do with this increase in the receipts.
Those who have knowledge Of the bet
terment in conditions say, however,
that the gain is too small as yet to
be of appreciate benefit to the road
In meeting fully all the burdens which
have been thrust upon it.
Baltimore and Ohio's July earnings
suffered a loss in gross as compared
With year ago, of more than $780,
100, and almost 100000 in net, as
compared with the corresponding
month year ago. For a number

offer.
Nearly all the states participating
in the exposition are now employing
the motion picture method Of adver-
Using to draw the eyes Of the country
toward their particular possessions
and their advantages. West Virgin
ia was one Of the first Of the states
to perceive the advantages to be de-
rived, and we will doubtless be one
of the states that will derive vast
benefit thereby, as great care Is be-
ing taken in the making of the films
to get the very best of so much that
West Virginia has to offer.

will be noted that the fixed costs an
proXimate $50 year per acre.
The cost OF growing apples is les
sened by growing them in connection
with their crops and utilizing the man
ana hOres LABOR on hese other crops
when they are not needed in the or,
cEard. The experience Of the best
apple growers in Old-apple-producine
regions indicate that proper manage
ment Of a well-diversited farm is as
important a factor in profitable apple
raising as the use of different cul-
tural methods, reduction Of packing
cost, or even cheaper wages for help.
AS an example a farm of 122 acres
is given. Fifty per cent Of this area
is devoted to general crops other
than fruit, and of the 80 acres de-
voted to fruit only about Is are used
for apple raising. Enough hay, oats
and corn are raised on the farm for
feed. Potatoes are raised, but ONLY
for home use. Wheat and beans, as
well as fruit, are cash crops Each
year 20 or 80 sheep are kept and pas
tured during the summer Lambs re
raised and fattened during the early
spring months. SIX horses are kept
for work and one for family use. One
or two colts are raised each wear.
The actual costs given are not the
most important result Of this study

GETS BANK
LAW AMENDMENTS
Purpose.Is to Have Warehouse
Receipts Recognized as Com
mercial Paper.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Three
amendments to the bank law
prompted by the European war, were
introduced today in the Senate. They
would recognize cotton and other
staple warehouse receipts as COM
mercial paper upon which currency
could be issued up to seventy five
per cent. of their values; would in
crease the limit from thirty per cent.
to seventy-five per cent. OF currency
to be issued on commercial paper,
and more fully define the status of
State banks and fully empower them
if they join the Federal reserve sys-
tenn, to isue extra currency.
Senator Hoke Smith introduced a
joint resolution to empower the sec
rotary of the treasury to fix the is
sue of currency by the banks in the
cotton States at one-half the amount
to which they are entitled under the
currency act and the other half in
currency direct to holders of cotton
warehouse receipts.
Cotton growers and dealers and
southern bankers before the House
agriculture committee, made sugges-
tions for financial measures to allow
the cotton planter to secure credit
on his crop sufficient to carry his
cotton until market conditions be-
come more nearly normal.

RECEIVER
FOR LAX METHODS
Breidt's Admission Costs Him
His Commission With Boyd

Special to the Evening Star.


TRENTON, Aug. 11.-Vice- Chancel-
lor Backes today ordered the removal
of Joseph B. Breidt, of Newark, as
receiver of the Boyd Commercial Loan
Association, of Newark, and appoint
ed Frederick Jay, of Newark. as the
new receiver. The removal of Mr..
Breldt was occasioned by reason of
his admissions on the witness stand
before the vice-chancellor today, that,
as notary public, he certified to
affidavits without having the signers
of the afIidavits sworn before him as
to the truth of the statements.
The affidavits were signed by Max
AIDES julius Berkowitz and Emanuel
Keller, members of the Boyd Com
mercial Loan Association, and were
attached to the bill of complaint of
William L. Greenbaum, who asked
the court to appoint a receiver for
the loan association. The affidavits
were presented to Mr.. Breidt by Jo-
seph Lubetkin, counsel for Green
baum, who attested 10 their truth.
Vice-Chancellor Backes also had Mr..
Breidt before the bar of the court to
explain his connection with the affida-
Wits which we're not properly sworn
to.

would take the question of the actions
of Mr.. Breidt and Mr.. Lubetkin ur
with Chancellor Walker for consider
