BANKS AFTER MONEY
NEW FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
CALLS FOR FUNDS.
Government Notifies All Applying te
Send In Subscriptions-CIash on
Regional Cities.

Washington, April 10.-Ali national
banks applying for membership were
asked to take the next preliminary to
the organization of the new federal re-
serve banking system. Comptroller
Williams forwarded Wednesday to
every one of the national and state
banks and the trust companies that
had applied for membership a copy of
a circular letter informing each of
the district to which it belongs.
With this notice M. c. Elliott, secre-
tary of the reserve bank organization
committee, sent a blank form on
which each bank shall signify the
amount of its subscription, and also
a circular letter calling attention to
the law, which provides for subscrip-
tion of six per cent of a banks COM
bined capital and surplus.
"The cooperation of applying
banks" Mr.. Elliott wrote, will ma
terially facilitate the organization of
the federal reserve banks and enable
member banks to avail themselves of
the advantages of the federal reserve
system by bringing into operation
those provisions of the federal reserve
act which becomes effective and oper-
ative when such federal reserve banks
shall have been organized
Under the law the banks have 80
days in which to comply after notice
to subscribe.
A move to investigate the selection
of the IL regional reserve cities was
made in the senate.

Movie Films viii Be Censored.

Mutual Film companies of Ohio and
New Jersey lost their suit to knock out
the Ohio film censorship law in federal
court. Judges Day, Killits and Wa--
rington filed their opinion, denying
the Injunction. If the film concerns
take an appeal it will be direct to the
United States supreme court. The
action was begun in federal court on
the allegation that the law gave the
board of censors virtual power to con-
fiscate property without compensation
contrary to the United States consti
tuition.
The board, composed of Harry Yes
tai, of Ada, and Mrs. Maude Murray
Miller, of Columbus, will start work
Immediately. Another member will be
appointed soon to take the place of
J. A. Maddox, of Columbus, who re-
signed. 1t was said $50 new films are
shown in the state weekly, although
thousands are held in stock by film
supply companies. Only about 1000
films were inspected before the GEN.
sors were stopped in their work early
in December
The state law provides for an in
spection. fee of 81 for reels less than
1000 feet long, and So for those long
er. The board is empowered to reject
films of Objectionable character, The
law will be enforced, it was stated.
Thereafter it will be unlawful to show
moving picture films which do not bear
the stamp of approval of the state
board.

fessed uxoricide, will be had some

State Crusade Against Drugs.

Columbus, O.-From Ohio cities,
which have been the centers of the
war on habit-forming drugs, the states
crusade is to be carried on with the
aid of federal authorities against the
establishments, located in cities out
side the state, which have been ped
ding to consumers in Ohio. So re-
lentlessly has been waged the conflict
against dispensers of drugs in Ohio
that the traffic has been so interrupted
that its base of activity has been
shifted
Distributing stations in Cleveland,
Sandusky and Toledo, where the busi-
ness was largest, have been almost
completely put out of commission,
while concerns in Detroit that catered
to the Ohio trade have largely dropped
out of it, according to state officials.
1t reappears in another form through
the operations of traffickers in Erie
and Pittsburg, Pa. They are now to
get an early taste OF the law through
the agency of federal officials to whom
the state authorities have appealed.
The warfare is not on the manufac-
turers that sell legitimately to phar-
macists and physicians who use law
fully morphine, cocaine and other
drugs, but on those who sell clandes-
timely to the retail trade.

Not Easy to Circulate Petitions.

Candidates for state Offices are find
ing that it is no easy job to circulate
nominating petitions. Not few of
them are speaking in unkind manner
of the requirement of the statute that
candidates must go out and get a
certain number of signers in order
to become candidates. They are pre-
dieting that there will be dissatis-
faction by citizens when they are
asked to sign a dozen or more peti-
tions. One candidate for congress de-
clared that the trouble a candidate is
put to makes the circulation of peti-
tions a nuisance. He thinks that the
law should be changed so that every
citizen could be a'candidate for Office
without being compelled to go to the
expense and trouble Of circulating
nominating petitions. He made the
further statement that no poor man
could run for a state Office under the
primary election system. Another
knock against the circulation of nom
mating petitions is the danger that an
elector who puts his name to a large
number of petitions through oversight
may sign petitions of opposing candi-
dates for the same nomination.

Tree Bears Hands.

A curious tree is growing in Los
Angeles, Cal, the seed of which was
brought from Mexico. In general ap-
pearance it resembles an English
walnut The leaves are much like
those of buttonwood, but very much
larger. The most marked popularity
of the tree is its blossoms, from which
it has been named the "hand-tree. 2
The flower is an inch and half in
diameter, with short russet sepals and
long reddish-lined petals. The fat
scarlet pistils protrude an inch be.
yond. They are so joined as to resem-
BILE hand, with finger nails like the
claws of Chinese grandee. The re-
semblance to a hand is striking. &

Saws Buy Food In Bulk.

llefontaine.-Anson Carter. pio-
neer grocer of Bellefontaine, has been
searching old records in study of
comparative cost of food products
now and in the past. He has reached
this conclusion:
aside from three products, butter,
poultry and meat, prices of staple
articles in the bulk are not higher
than they were 25 years ago. A man
and woman can go to housekeeping
today in better shape for the same
amount of money than was possible a
quarter of a century ago."
Mr. Carter says it is the wish of the
buying public to have so much pre-
pared food and so many articles done
up in attractive packages that has in
creased the cost of living. He says
the average can Of baked beans does
not contain cents worth of beans.
IF people would continue to buy
everything in bulk, as they used to do,
and cook their food for themselves
as they used to do, there would not
be high cost of living problem" said
Mr.. Carter.

Interesting Experiments.

Experiments are being made at
Ohio State university, to solve an in
teresting problem. The problem in
wolves the question of how much OBJ
struction bridge piers and abutments
cause to flowing water in flood times
and how such Instructions can be so
placed as to afford the least resist
ance. The experiments are being
made with the aid of large fumes and
with pump that can produce $4,000
gallons of water minute. The water
is made to flow at various stages and
various velocities through the fumes
wherein velocity gauges and obstruc.
tions are placed. There follows a
minute and exhaustive testing of the
effect of the obstruction in varying
stages of the water flow. The solu'
ton Of the problem is expected to be
of vast interest in the Ohio flood sit
uation but the experiment will go on
for a year before any solution will be
attempted to be given.

a long illness, the dowager empress of
Japan died at her palace at Nazuma

The emperor and empress and other
members of the royal family had been
summoned to the bedside. The dow
ager empress had been i'll for some
time. She was born in 1850.

ments for the state funeral. Brights

dowager empress, died on July &c.
1912.

not the mother of the present EN-
peror Yoshihito, although she is the
first wife in rank of his father, the
late Emperor Mutsuhito. To the lat
ter were allowed IL wives, according
to the old Japanese law, no longer in
force. The present emperor is the son
of one of the secondary wives of Nut
suhito. Empress Haruko had one son,
who died at birth, but she was devoted
to the other children of the emperor
and gave them all the attention of a
real mother.
She became empress in 1868, and
shortly afterward sent five Japanese
girls to America to be educated IN the
public schools. She was one OF the
first of the Japanese women to adopt
the European dress, but adhered to
Japanese costume within her own
household. 1t was largely through her
influence that the women of Japan OBJ
tanned the right to enter the schools.

members of their profession who are
arrested and convicted of improper
practices relating to the dispensing of
these products The request was filed

subjected to disciplinary measures by
the state association, even to the exs
