SOCIETY'S LATEST FAD.

The latest fad in society is the tub
cure. In this the patient arises just
as the crisp air of the morning is
mellowed by the first sunbeam. An
ordinary washtub is then filled with
hot water and soap suds, into which
various articles of linen are thrown.
After they are thoroughly saturated
the patient takes them up one at a
time and rubs them briskly up and
down on a dashboard placed in the
tub. This if kept up until the hands,
arms and face are glowing pink. The
patient then goes into the open air
and hangs all the linen articles on a
line stretched for that purpose. The
one completing the task first an
nounces the time to the others over
the telephone and is entitled to a
prize. 1t is exciting sport and also
invigorating exercise.

Elastic Currency Aim.
New Act Permits Use OF Com
mercial Paper As Security For
Circulating Notes.

New York, Nov. 15.-Radical and
far reaching changes in the entire
banking and currency system OF the
United States will become effective
tomorrow through the opening of the
- Federal reserve banks and the be-
ginning-of actual operations under
the Federal Reserve act.
One fundamental change made by
the new system is the utilization OF
commercial paper-that is, bills and
notes drawn and negotiated in the
ordinary course Of trade-as security
for circulating notes. Another is the
use of such notes by the member bank
in obtaining credit for funds by re-
discounting them with the Federal
reserve banks in the same way the
borrower obtained credit or fumes
from the member banks by discount
ing them originally,
Heretofore, bank notes have been
secured solely by Government bonds.
, Circulating notes are issued only 10y
national banks, which have had to
deposit with the Treasury Depart
mcnt bonds to the amount OF the
notes they desired to issue. Histor-
ically, this plan was devised mainly
to make market for the bonds issu-
ed by the Government after the Civil
War. 1t has enabled the Govern
ment ever since to put out bonds at
interest rates lower than those paid
by any other nation in the world,
some of them as low as 2 per cent.
A bank could buy a 81 900 bond
and Ct back its 81 600 Immediately
in the form of circulating notes, Sc
cured by the bond. At the same
time it drew interest on the bond.
Thus the money that became fixed
capital by the purchase of the bond
was converted again into liquid CAPT
| tai in the form of bank notes.
This system, which was an innova
ton and has never been adopted by
any other great nation, has proved
an entire success SO far as the safety
of the note issued is concerned.
Should a bank fail it was only nee
essary to sell its deposited bonds and
pay its notes as they We're presented
for redemption.
The defect of this bond secured
currency has been a lack of elasticity.
The amount of currency, as distin-
gushed from money and credit that
is needed for the aggregate transac-
tons of the country, iluctuatcs with
| the amount of business activity. In
a time of business stagnation, less
currency is needed and the bank notes
accumulate rapidly in the banks,
where they are deposited by the hold
crs. In time of great activity, more
currency is needed and instead of a
redundancy there is Il dearth of bank
notes,
Under the bond-securcd system the
mess needs has always been fixed by
the amount of Government bonds out
standing, regardless Of the condition
of business and the consequent need
of currency.
