such proportions that opponents of the

BANKERS PROTEST At
N 'ADOO'S BLACKLIST
Despite Objections Secretary In
tends to Keep After Money
Hoarders.

Protests from bankers against being
held UP before the country as ''usurers
and as guilty Of wilfully creating fnan-
cial stringency by alleged boarding Of
currency reserves began to reach the
Treasury Department today. Some Of
the letters used vigorous terms in criti-
cising Secretary McAdoo's campaign
against hording. and his publication Of
so-called "bIackIists." enumerating
banks having surplus of legal re-
serves
That thcv would be subject to severe
criticism had they failed to maintain
ample reserves under present conditions
was the tenor OF the bankers protests.
For protection Of themselves and their
depositors. the protesting BANKERS con-
tend, 1t is only prudent to maintain
more than the minimum legal reserves
during the war situation.
Despite the bankers protests. Secre-
tary McAdoo today evinced strong in
tentions of continuing his campaign
against money boarding. Occasional
additions to the blacklist are planned.
He is receiving many letters commend
ing him for showing up" the banks
guilty of boarding and demanding ex-
cessive interest. Many of the letters
cite instances of alleged extortion and
refusal Of credit. State banking COM
missioners of many States are also
promising cooperation.
The original blacklist" contained the
names Of nearly 200 national banks
principally in the south and west. and it
was made public last night. All OF
these banks. il II declared, had on call
September u reserves of from y to T5
per cert The legal minimum required
of them is but IL per cent. With the
list the Secretary issued a statement
declaring that 'if the large share of
funds kept from active employment as
indicated by the figures was invested in
commercial or agricultural paper. or
loaned on proper security, the present
situation would be greatly relieved"
The list includes Ave banks in Vir-
rinia, three in West Virginia, and one
in Maryland.

CR|T|C|SE DELAY IN

New Federal Reserve Act. Pass

By John SNURE.

Much criticism is voiced amcnc MEM
bert Of Congress because of the delay
In Luttins the new Federal reserve act
into operation. Little of this criticism
inGs vent publicly. but plenty Of 1t can
b heard about the corridors and cloaE- =
rc.cms Of the Capitol. and it is oy no
means confined TO Republicans and Pro-
-IeEsives.
The new law was enacted Early Est
winter. The earliest date now rams,!

ton is October Is. Many doubt whether

the Democratic side. predicted lately
it would not be in effect until the firs1

I have received goodly number or inquiries lately as to how much fresh air one should allow in the sleeping room, also how it should be regulated, etc.
 There is a science of good sense in this fresh air question Generally speaking. it is a personal matter, but there are certain rules which can be spoken of. and which one would do well to think about

But one day the little germ got busy, and I am still wishing had been careful will tell you what did to remedy the cause of the trouble. Instead of moving the head of it. and tucked it down in order that the air might not circulate up and under it. Thus my bed did not have to be moved, and still have my fresh air
