Rubber Streets
 Are Suggested

Predictions of an astounding ma terial progress in the not remote future have been commonplace since one miraculous invention or discovery began succeeding another Buildings which would make our highest seem a pigmy, wonderful railways in the clouds and all sorts of undereround passenger tubes and so on have figured in the city of tomorrow as 1t has developed in the minds of imaginative artists. But never before have we seen sug- eested the innovation which Sir Henry Blake predicted at the open ing of the fourth international rub Der exhibition in London. The city of the future, he said would have rubber streets!
 Sir Henry explained that advances in the production and manufacture years had been so great as to bring such a civic improvement within the realm of possibility. Just to make Sir Henry's dream seem little more real there was provid ed outside the exhibition hall a ten his court made of rubber. where the rubber producers and manufac- turers might disport themselves with the maximum of youthful residence.
 We sincerely hope Europe's de- vastating war will not delay the coming of the rubber millennium New York Tribune.

TODAY FOR FIRST TIME, THE NEWLY ORGANIZED FINANCIAL OPEN THEIR DOORS FOR PUB. LlC PATRONAGE.
THEY WILL PREVENT PANICS
RESERVE BANKS ARE FEATURE OF NEW CURRENCY SYSTEM WHICH IS EXPECTED TO RE- STORE CONFIDENCE AND pROS PERlTY TO NATION.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Nov. 15.- Federal reserve banks, organized un- der the new currency law passed will be opened in various parts of the United States tomorrow. It Is expected by the administration and the Democratic leaders that the opening of these banks will mark revival of prosperity everywhere.
 The reserve banks will be opened in the commercial centers of yari- ous parts of the nation, the one for the Pacific coast being at San Fran cisco. They are intended to control the finances of the country in s,lch a way that Wall street and other private interests will not be en- abled to promote panics.
 One of the features of the new banking system, which will be con- plete with the opening of the re- serve banks, Is the money that the banks will keep on hand to loan farmers, taking real estate as se- curity. The federal banks will be under the direction of special fed eral commission.
 In case the large banking establish ments should try to "sdueeze" small bank out of existence, the new federal banks will be in posi- tion to loan it money upon it's se- curities, provided they are good. The new banks will be allowed to loan money, also, upon unharvested crops, in order to aid the farmers market their produce

JACK HEATH IS STILL MISSING
 IN SEATTLE
FORMER FAlR5ANKSAN LEFT NOTE SAYING HE FEARED
 HE WOULD GO INSANE.

SEATTLE. Nov. 15.- Continued ef- forts or the part of the police of this city to locate Jack Heath, formerly of Fairbanks, who disap- 2eared recently, have failed and it is beginning to look as though he has slipped away to some distant part of the country. 4 letter re oeiyed from him after he disappear ed stated that he feared he was goin" insane. and that he had deter mined 10 keep away until he re covered in order that his children would not witness his condition.
 Mrs. Heath is staying at the home of her brother James Smart, at respondent of The Citizen she eX- plained the circumstances under which her husband disappeared and she inks that he will soon return to her and the children.
 Late in the summer the Heath family arrived here from Fairbanks. On October 26 MT. Heath bought a moving picture theatre in this city, but the venture was a failure, and on November he was forced to close it.
 When it was evident that the pro ject would be failure, MT Heath began to worry. and for a week did not sleep. He complained of head acNes and it is explained by Mrs, Heath that he worried considerably, also, about business troubles that he had experienced before leaving Fair banks
 A few days ago he failed to re- turn home in the evening and fear ing that some harm had befallen him, Mrs. Heath made a tour of the hospitals but found no trace of him.
 It was the next day that she re- ceived the letter from him, in which he explained why he had gone Among other things he said in his letter that he feared he was going insane. He said for the sake of the children he would keep away from home until he regained his mental health, and then he would come back.
 The police were notified at once of his disappearance, and every ef fort has been made to locate him.
