War May Delay Federal
New Reserve Bank System
ACCESSIBILITY of Making Radical Change at the Present
Time Is Questioned in NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ments Of Directors May Be Held Up.
EXCHANGE CONFERENCE CALLED FOR SEPT. 4

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Off'ciais here
are discussing the advisability OF post
poning the organization Of the new Fed
eral Reserve banking system until the
present financial situation clears. A few
weeks ago the new system was being
hailed by the Administration as Just the
thing for the present emergency, but a
closer study OF conditions has led to doubt
in the minds of some persons here as TO
the advisability OF attempting the change
at this time
That is one Of the questions that will
be considered at an important conference
of bankers that has been called to meet
at the Treasury Department on Septem-
Der 4. The primary purpose OF the con-
ference will be to consider the problem
OF foreign exchange credits.
Representatives Of the clearing house
association in the Federal Reserve cities
and in other reserve cities which deal in
foreign exchange have been invited TO the
meeting
The chief question to be considered will
he the protection Of the gold supply Apart
from the necessity of meeting the obliga-
lions against the United States held by
Europeans which are soon to mature
other difficulties are feared with respect
to the gold supply, due to the shifting Of
when the Federal Reserve system is or
gained. The Federal Reserve Board is
understood already to have considered the
advisability OF postponing the organization
OF the new system pending a solution OF
these difficulties
May Delay Naming Of Directors.
The underlying principle OF the new
currency system as compared with the
present system liz one OF decentralization
regarding reserves. With the organiza-
ton OF the new system the strength OF
New York as n reserve point would inev-
itably be lessened. for there would be
created twelve banking units in the form
OF the twelve reserve banks. each as
nearly equal in strensth as the organ.za-
ton committee Of the board found IL pos
sible TO form
Despite the theoretical advantages of
such a decentralization system for normal
times, a change of this character is ex-
actly what the officials OF the Govern
ment do not desire In the present emer-

MEASURING SPEED OF LIGHT
Chemists Can Tell With Absolute Ae-
euraey just How Fast the Rays
Can Travel.

Even In this speed-mad age we can
never hope to equal the speed Of light.
which the scientists tell us ss $4,000
miles second. II light could not
actually be measured no one would
believe t.
There il a delicate instrument used
In measuring light which throws a
beam OF light upon q revolving disk.
There was some doubt about the fig
ures obtained in this way until Il was
found that when the earth was In
the part of its orbit nearest to Jupiter
eclipses took place 16 minutes earlier
than when 1t was In the furthermost
part. whereas by all rules OF astrono-
my they should have taken place at
the same minute each time. II is de-
duced from this that the light was
not instantaneous and consequently
took 16 minutes to traverse the diane
ter OF the earth's orbit, a distance of
about 200.000.000 miles. thus giving to
light velocity OF 1S6, 1000 miles a sec.
ond. which was accurately shown lat.

Green Food Growers.

dpon the raising Of poultry proftably,
has the following to say on the sub
3ect: ct has seemed in studying the
birds in the fall of the year that the
change from the range to the laying
house, was an important one In the
life OF the bird, and that the results
during the subsequent winter with ref.
erence to egg production depended
much upon the way this transition
was made. II seemed advisable both
on general grounds and from observa-
ton Of the birds themselves to make
this change as gradual as possible.
With this idea In mind the pullets
have been brought into the houses
from the range much earlier during
the past few years than was the Gus
tom beforehand the results have been
excellent. When the pullets are first
brought in II is net advisable to shut
them up entirely in TIN houses at
once. On the contrary, our work IL
planned In such a way that there is
always freshly-seeded yard full of
green grass for the birds to run in
after they are brought into the house
until cold weather sets In. The fowls
are brought from free range into a
condition OF restricted range, but with
better pasturage on the restricted
range than on the free range. The
yards are freshly seeded and have not
been trampled down or burned or
dried out by the sun, as is the grass
on the open range from which the
birds are taken. In this way the at.
tempt Is made to have the transition
from the range conditions to house
conditions as gradual as possible.
After about two months of restricted
range. the birds are finally shut up in
q curtain front house for the winter.
The feed of all adult birds, whether
pullets or not, consists of two essen
tial parts: (a) The whole or cracked
grains scattered in the litter, and OBJ,
the mixture of dry ground grains gen
orally known as dry mash. In add
ton 70 the grains and dry mash, oys-
ter shell, dry cracked bone, grit and
charcoal are kept In Slated troughs.
and are accessible at all tines. Plen-
ty OF clean water is furnished.
About five pounds OF clover hay cut
into one-half inch lengths is fed dry
daily to each 100 birds In winter.

As SEEN BY NATURE LOVER
Frost and Drought Very Much Alike
In Their Effects Upon Good
Old Neither Earth.

Frost and drought are not unlike In
their results. or at least their effects.
A winter meadow, bare Of snow but
frozen hard, il not very dissimilar to
the same meadow during a dry spell
after hayings Color IL gone, growth
Is short, stones show like land turtles.
The soil Ii impenetrable, the wheel of

You look at the foothole pits in the
ground, made when you rode that way

be, and wonder that the ground would
ever have been soft enough to receive
such impressions, while that pools of
water could ever have stood upon it
seems impossible. The earth. like the

When the wheat, oats, and cracked
corn are given. the birds are always
ready and anxious for them, and they
scratch in the litter for the last ker-
mel before going to the trough where
an abundance Of feed Is Ia store. The
hens like the broken and whole grains
better than the mixture OF the fine,
dry materials. Yet they help them
selves to ii, mouthful or two at a
time, whenever they seem to need II.
Taere is q general unanimity of
opinion among poultrymen that the
fowls do best when some form OF
green or succulent food is given them
during the winter months.
In fact, IL is an absolute necessity,
IL best results are to be obtained. The
function of green food Is largely IL
the nature of digestive stimuIant.
Green sprouted oats have beer
widely used In recent years as a
green food for poultry and II is
most excellent thing. The oats are
fed when they ara from four to slx
inches In height, and are fed at the
rate OF a piece Of the matted oats and
attached green stalks about six BIZ
eight inches square for each 100 birds
per day.
