INSTRUCTIONS SENT
TO RESERVE BANKS
Treasury Department Urges
Caution in Districts Not in
Need of Immediate Aid.

In advance of the simultaneous open
ing of the twelve Federal reserve banks
next Monday instructions have been
sent by the Treasury Depai Liuent 10
the banks, outlining a plan OF operation
until the new system is firmly estao-
lished.
The reserve board has restricted the
operations of the banks at the start.
contining their activities to the accep-
tance of deposits OF reserves from other
banks, the discount of bills of exchange
, and commercial paper, and the accep-
tance of deposits of checks drawn py
member banks on reserve banks or
member banks in a reserve or central
reserve city within its district.
The board held it would beinadvisable
at this time to place a narrow or re-
stricted Interpretation upon the section
defining the character OF paper eligible
for discount. Neither would the board
enter upon the discussion OF single OF
double name paper, but Wouio aomit
both forms to discount CERTAIN pasIc
principles to cover commerclal paper
were laid down, however.
First, IL was held that no bills were
to be admitted to rediscount by Federai
reserve banks, the proceeds or whlch
were to be applied to permanent invest,
ment; and. second, banks were warned
that maturities of bills should be well
distributed, paper purchased should not
have more than 80 days TO run, ana tne
banks should be in position to nQul-
date one-lhird of their investments
within thirty days whenever 1t was
. necessary. - t.A.....,.,y. =,
Banks also were told that additional
powers would be given to them as rapid
ly as tie establishment OF safe ana
efficient organizations would permit. IL
was pointed out by the board that, al
though the nations exports show
gratifying increase, there is still large
cash balance due European countries Tor
which gold may be demanded, and that
at the same time there is more than
$500 100000 Of emergency currency out
standing that must be retired.
For these reasons the board advised
caution. e..
while credit facilities should be lib
orally extended in some parts OF the
country" the instructions to the banks
said, 1T would appear advisable TO
proceed with caution in districts not In
need Of immediate relief, and to await
the effect Of the release of reserves ana
of the changes which the credit mechan-
ism Of the country is about to expert
ence before establishing definite dis
count po ICY. ..r-
Che reserve board today made public
reports of committees at the recent con-
ference of bank directors In Washing
ton One report of the committee on
rcdiscount, urged that an executive
council of the governors Of the twelve
banks should be left the task Of de-
termining about the opening of branches
of exchange banks, the appointment OF
foreign agents, the charges to banks for
clearing transactions. and, the charges
TO be collected by member banks from

COMB SAGE TEA IN
L|FELESS, GRAY HAIR
If Mixed with Sulphur it
Darkens so Naturally
Nobody can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened. glossy and abundant with a
brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When
ever her hair fell out or took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large
bottle Of this old-time recipe. ready to
use, for about so cents. This simple
mixture can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the hair
and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy
scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur. because 1t darkens so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has
been applied-it's so easy to use, too
You simple dampen a comb or soft
brush and draw it through your hair
taking one strand at time. BY morn
ing the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two. 1t Is restored
to its natural color and looks glossy,
soft and ahundant.-Advt - =

FRANCE EAGERFOR
AMERICAN GOODS
Consul General Thackara at
Paris Urges Manufacturers
to Send Samples.

A. NJ Thackara, American consul gen.
eral at Paris, after canvassing all large
department stores and wholesalers in
that city. sent to the state Department
today a report that there is a great
demand here for goods Made in u.
S. A.
There are urgent demands for i'm
mediate consumption in France for
many lines of goods that the native
trade is unable to satisfy said the
consul! general Owing to the excep-
tional conditions due to the war sit
uation, important sources Of supply
have been eliminated, so that the pres
ent is a most favorable opportunity for
American manufacturers to replace
goods formerly made on the Continent >
In 1918, he said. France imported $751;
2oS, ,S5S worth Of goods from the coun-
tries now at war. These sources are
now cut off.
The consul general is cooperating
merce, in Paris. in an effort to increase
the sale Of American goods there.
Thackara states that any manufacturer
who sends samples to the chamber OF
commerce, will have an excellent op-
portunity to sell them. The consul gen
eral declares that he will go so rar
as to notify French firms that Ameri-
can manufacturers are sending samples,
If the latter will inform him.
Articles which the large department
stores and commission agents In Paris
have asked the American consul to
bring to their attention are woolen
goods BLANKETS, underwear. and sweat
ers), ready-made clothes, textiles. cot
ton, gloves, flowers for millinery, chem
ical dyes, toys. rubber goods. house
hold articles. and glassware.
The American Government will i'm
mediately call the attention Of manu-
facturers to these opportunities.

Holland Takes Action
To Insure Food Supply

In order to prevent food supplies
purchased by the Holland government
being held up because. vessels car
rying such supplies contain contra
band, Holland has made an arrange
ment with the Holland-American line
whereby that company will refuse all
private shipments. Since the Holland
American line is the only neutral line
with vessels plying regularly between
Holland and the United States, this
gives the Holland government a prac-
teal monopoly Of importations Of
foodstuffs from the United States.

Happy school children-3,000 of them
made up the audience which Frank
r. Robertson, travelosuer of The Star
took with him yesterday in Convention
Hall for a wonderful picture-journey
across the United States. at the second
of the travelogues arranged specially
for the benefit of the kiddies. The big
hall was filled to overfiowing, and when
chairs failed to go round the young
sters climbed on top of boxes, ratings
or whatever else was handy, and in
true child fashion enjoyed the occasion
all the more.
1t was one of the largest audiences to
face the traveloguer during his season
in Washington, and one of the most
demonstrative. The children sat wrap
ped in wonder after things were fairly
started, but occasionally. when some
thing stirred their fancy, the volumes
of applause which followed were deaf

tion he said:
In asking for the appointment of a
commission we are not greatly con-
cerned over its personnel. We should
like to see the citizens of the District
represented on that commission; but
there are certain influences in the Dis
trict from which we would like to see
1t free. We do not believe that any
commission appointed by any man or
men with a sense of responsibility
could be so blind to the fundamental
principles of justice as not to report
District. We have heard a good deal
in recent days of the fact that the
present system of disfranchisement
was put upon the District after four
years of patient study by an able COM
mission. The fact is that that COM
mission. am reliably informed. re-
ported in favor of a plan of govern
ment with an executive commission
appointed, one man by the Speaker of
the House. one man by the President of
ident of the United States. with a local
board of citizens who would have the
final authority in matters of taxation
and disbursement.
Cause Of Present Form.
II am further informed that it was
because certain selfish interests felt
themselves unable TO control a body
elected by the citizens that this par
ticular form of government, with the
franchise abolished and a system of
taxation deemed favorable to the Dis
trict. was adopted. We earnestly hope
that before this Congress expires, on
March 4. 1t will pass the resolution for
the appointment of this commise'o- -
investigate all the difficult political
and fiscal questions evolving from the
peculiar relations of the District to the
government, and report to the
next Congress a plan of seIf-govern-
rnent that will give freedom to the citi-
zens of this community"
