Between Times.

Sort of in-between times, the January
days
Give a glimpse of sunshine through the
frosty haze.
No more Christmas carols soundin'
through the night:
No more happy New Years ringin' gay
an light;
Only jes' remembrance of holiday!
Had our share O. pleasure. Now we've
got to pay.
Thinkin' of the springtime, with its
skies aglow
Journeyin: on to meet it, through the
wind an snow.
Ground hog will be with US in a little
while,
Lookin' fur his shadow in the usual
style.
Wen draw little picture an we'll pen
little line
To give proper greetin' to our friend
st. Valentine.
1t won't be many weeks from then until
we hear once more
The melody of birds above the buster an
the roar.
The past is surely pleasant an the future
claims our praise,
But they're sort of in-between times,
these January days.

Food and the Wild Birds.
From the Cincinnati Times-star.

fom tne IlHc1Hnatl llmeS-StaT.
The Audubon Society has issued an APP
peal to the people of suburban and rural
communities in Ohio to feed the wild
birds when sleet and snow cover the
ground and trees this winter. This re-
quest deserves favorable consideration
from all the people of Ohio who live in
the open country. In the suburbs of the
big cities wild birds can get along even
in the most severe weather Out in the
open country. however, another story is
apt to be told. There snow and ice have
things their own way; cold spell, fol-
lowing a thaw, is apt to make the whole
country one great glare of ice and to
put an effectual lock on the food store
houses of the wild birds. All winters are
more or less hard on the wild birds. 1t
is in periods of deep snow-particularly
when there is crust on it-that they
are in the greatest danger of starvation.
At such times men and women ought to
be glad to come to the rescue with food.
both for humanitarian reasons and be-
cause the wild birds are a great asset to
any community. with their songs and
their very valuable services in getting
rid Of insects that prey on plant life.

The Business Depression.

Mr. Underwood repeis tho charge that
the new tariff Law is responsible for the
present business depression. He says:
The industrial depression from which
VIC are emerging was not born of the
Wilson administration. 1t has existed for
more than q year. but before the ap-
sroaching elections there will be an awak-
cning among the business interests which
viii put TO shame the croakers."
II has existed-that is. 1t dates-fron
more than year ago. To be exact, four
teen months. 1t is logical, and all should
hope for an early change. Mr.. Under
wood expects change before next falls
elections. The wish-a knowledge of the
1iecessity-rnay be the father of the ex-
poctation, for if the depression continues
until the congressional campaigns open
and during those campaigns. the derno-
cratic party viii be likely to suffer at the
polls.
The depression is logical. as The Star

Washington and the Reserve Bank.

Washington argument for its selection
rs the site of a regional bank under the
new currency law has been strongly made
before the organization committee, and
the case now stands awaiting decision.
Other cities have made applications and
unduestionably before the committee is
ready TO report many more claims will
lave been entered than can be accommo-
dated under the new statute, which limits
the number of reserve banks from to L.
The claims of other cities stand upon a
different basis from those of Washing
ton. consisting wholly of business and COM
mercial reasons which are strong from
the point of view of the cities themselves.
Nashington's position. however. is such
that its advantages as the center OF
regional bank establishment are to be
considered from the point of view of the
Treasury rather than the local commu-
nifty.
Washington should be selected for this
purpose not because it's banking interests
need regional bank, or because any sort
of local interests need 1t. but because II
is the Capital city and the headquarters
of the reserve board, and because as a
place under the exclusive jurisdiction of
Congress there would be no clash here in
rhe Legislative provision. Elsewhere there
is the possibility of conflict of local and
federal laws. Nowhere else than in Wash
fnston is there an exclusively federal
Jurisdiction, and thus there is no possibil-
ity of interference with the government
in working out Its control of a regional
bank. For another reason Washington
is ideally situated. Judically this city
as d matter of right can carry all ques-
tons of legal dispute direct to the Su-
preme Court of the United States. in a way
that is not possible in the states, and thus
invoking out the new regional reserve
law. concerning which issues may arise,
the government can, without hampering
delays, obtain the ruling of the court of
last resort.
Thus the conditions at the capital all
tend to the advantage of having here,
directly under the eye Of the reserve
board. and free from the possible compli-
cations of state laws, and with direct re-
sort to the Supreme Court, bank, that
can be made model. not in mere
strength of capital, but as sort of ex-
pertinent station through which the spirit
OF the new currency system can be given
expression. Other cities will be chosen
for this purpose because of their fnan
cial and commercial Importance, the wide
sweep of their immediate influence, their
significance as banking centers. the inn
inense values represented in the capital
ization of their financial institutions, but
Washington. with a comparatively limited
area Of direct commercial influence and
with necessarily restricted banking or
sanization, nevertheless presents the
strongest case before the Treasury De-
iGtrtment. because it is the case of the
| hited States rather than Of the city.

legislation on new lines in which business
was vitality interested? When on the
morning of November g. 1912, business
men read the election returns, they very
naturally asked themselves three Ques-
lions: What will the new tariff figures
show? What form will currency reform
take? What further win be done toward
the regulation of trusts? With these ques-
tons unanswered, what manufacturer,
promoter or banker was to be reasonably
expected to continue full steam ahead?
The tariff question has been answered
in part. We have the new figures. but it
remains to be demonstrated. what they
will do They have not as yet lowered
the cost of living. and they have not as
yet greatly Increased Expectations. Mr..
Underwood's hope is that before next fall
they will have begun doing both.
The currency question has been an
swered in part We have the new law.
but it is not yet in operation Much will
depend for success on the running of the
regional lines. the establishment of the
regional banks and most particularly on
the personnel OF the federal reserve board
AS to the currency, therefore. business is
still in doubt.
The trust question is just coming on to
be heard. The President may dominate
the action of Congress, and he may not.
His party in that body is at present
divided on the question into two factions
and progressives. He him
self looks like a progressive. but is not
acceptable as such to some of the would
be trust busters. They think he lacks
ginger: but when the showdown comes
they may surrender. They did on both
the tariff and the currency.
But business interests. we may all be
sure. do not want panic. and are not
for one. They are logically
and honestly in doubt about the irnme-
date future, and will greatly profit, OF
course, If the fog lifts and smooth sailing
ahead appears. Everybody hopes. and
should work. for that.

Is Typhoid Conquered!

Vaccination to prevent smallpox is so
general in this country and has been SO
effective in abolishing what was formerly
one of the most destructive scourges OF
the human race that nearly everybody
except the small number of people whose
temperament predisposes them to take
the other side accepts it AS matter OF
course and recognizes in it one of the
greatest blessings conferred by modern
medical advancement. But typhoid vac
cination Is something comparatively new.
with which the public as whole Is not

public to take heed of the results that
have been obtained by its use in the

You will be surprised and delighted with this helpful toilet necessity, for noth- ing else is so good for the hair and scalp. and nothing so quickly beauti- fies the hair, giving it that enviable charm and fascination. Parisian Sage is one of the quickest acting hair tonics known-inexpensive and easily used at home.

 Tine hopeful outlook for American ventures was summarized today by Secretary Redfeld in a letter to the chamber of commerce of the United States, in which he declared:
