STATE BANKS ARE NOT
TO Be "NATIONALIzED"
Warburs Says Reserve Board Did Not
Intend to Interfere in State
Banking Laws.

Criticism directed at the Federal Re-
serve Board because of the resolution It
passed recently, placing itself on record
ing laws SO as to permit the participa-
,, ton by State banks in larger share of
the prerogatives conferred by the new
banking act, resulted in the issuance of
an explanatory statement by Paul NJ.
! Warburg, a member of the board, yes
terday.
Mr.. Warburg admitted that the resolu-
ton had been so worded as to leave the
way open for nisconstruction, and ex-
pressed the belief that the purpose Of the
, board had been misunderstood. The in
tent of the board. he said. is not to
"nationalize" the State banks, but merely
to insure that these institutions partici-
pate fairly in the privileges conferred
upon the other members of the reserve
system. Here is his statement:
THE resolution published by the Fed
,eral Reserve Board concerning national
banks powers to act as trustees. execu-
tors. etc. has led to some unfortunate
misconception as to the boards attitude
because the wording Of the resolution
lends itself to misconstruction. 1 hap
pcned to be absent on the day the reso-
luton was passed, and therefore think it
well to state my views in the matter in
this way.
There is no difference Of opinion in the
board as to the desirability Of seeing pa
tional banks secure the powers permitted
to be given them by the act. provided
State laws permit, but it is unfortunate
that any one should suppose that the Fed
eral Reserve Board wishes to interfere
with the rights and action of the States.
It is, believe. proper for me to say that
a majority Of the board would not wish
to create such erronerous impression. 1
have no reason to think that there Is
any desire on the part of the board to
Nationalist State banks. On the con-
trary, the wish appears to be general to
deal with the State banks and trust COM
panies as literally as possibleA 80 as to
enable them to Join the system. 1t is this
thought and hope that was intended by
the preamble Of the resolution.
"But it is clear that. in order to carry
out this policy. fairness to the national
banks demands that they should be treat
ed with equal liberality and that the
board should wish them to receive to the
largest possible degree the powers con-
ferred upon them by the act.
1.-THE problem would not be difficult IL
the trust companies had not invaded the
field of commercial banking. But, in
asmuch as they have done SO and in
tend to remain there-a question in
which the States only have the power to
regulate-while the act has placed upon
the Federal Reserve Board the duty of
providing a basis for the admission into
the Federal reserve system Of these State
institutions. the board can only follow
one policy; that is, one Of being fair and
liberal in dealing with both the national
and the State institutions That this
task Is difficult nobody will deny. II
must be dealt with in the broad spirit
not only by the board. but equally 90 by
the banks and trust companies."

Washington must sell 1914 worth of
tags Saturday. Boy Scout Tag Day. il
the fund of $500 needed by the local
scout organization during the next
year Is to be raised. The scouts are
confident this amount will be obtained
by the sale of tags and are planning
to start to work early Saturday morn
ing.
If every scout sells 1914 worth of
tags, it will mean that the entire scout

every IS worth of tags a Scout sells
he will be rewarded with one days
outing at the camp free of cost. II a
scout sells $50 worth Of tags his camp
expenses will be paid for one week by

cal scout council. has offered prizes to
the three scouts in the three divisions

turns from the sale of tags. The scout
in each division who turns in the
greatest amount of money as the re-
suit of his activities on Saturday is to
receive a wrist watch. The second
highest scouts will receive either q
scout knife, scout ak or cooking kit,
while those who turn in the third high
est amounts will receive scout watch

TWILIGHT DRUGS

Osteopathic Physicians Of the

of Obstetrics.
JUST A FAD, SAYS WOMAN
New Idea Means Dragging of Mother

Starkwather.
JUST A FAD, SAYS WOMAN

The relative merits of ,twilign
sleep and osteopathic obstetrics were
discussed last night before the Dis
trict Association of Osteopathic Ply
sicians at "a meeting in the office of
DR.. Clara U. Little. in the Imperial
apartments. 1869 Columbia road north
west.
DR.. C F. winbigler appeared as the
sole champion of twilight sleep, but
his championship was qualified. THE
women of this nation are going to
have twilight sleep and we might as
well face that fact" said DIR. VIM
hgler. Therefore. I am not going
TO oppose twilight sleep for women
who don't have the opportunity of
getting osteopathic treatment"
Calls II . Fad.
DIR. Mary Walker Eaton said: ."Twi-
light sleep now is kad and like all
fads 1t will die an earthly death. Why
should we experiment with this fad
when we ourselves have demonstrated
time and again, successfully, that child
birth may be made painless under oste-
opathic treatment? 1t seems silly to
think of drugging a mother and new
born babe
not been shown conclusively that the
dragging of the child through the moth
er does not have bad effects upon the in
FAINT
DIR. Louise A. Starkwather said: 81
am opposed to twilight sleep chiefly be-
cause of the drugging OF mother and
child"
DR.. Wilbur L. Smith said: I'VE all
know the horrible effects of the drug
habit. Before We even experiment with
twilight sleep We should convince our
selves that the injection Of the drug will
not make the mother or child more apt
to contract the drug habit In later
years"
DR.. Eaton discussed twilight sleep at
length. saying: Twilight sleep is real
ly not new, though the name is new.
Ten years ago hyoscine and morphine
were used unsuccessfully in this country
and after many experiments discarded
because obstetricians found them dan
gerous to mother and child.
Now We have the so-called new
twilight sleep with its advocates claim
ing that scopolamin. the drug used to
obtain the condition called twilight sleep,
Is superior to hyoscine. It is remarkable
that hyoscine and scopolamin both are
produced from the same thing, henbane.
a plant. In the place Of morphine the
advocates Of twilight sleep are using
a derivative called narcophen.
Il don't condemn twilight sleep except
when / can offer a substitute for the al
deviation of suffering to wsmen, and the
substitute 1 offer is osteopathic OBJ
stetrics.'
DIR. Louise D. Shuman. Dr. Laura Fem
wick Shugrue. and DIR. c. D. Swope also
spoke against twilight sleep and lauded
tho virtues Of osteopathic obstetrics.

POLICE VAINLY HUNT
FOUR MISSING BOYS
Parents of Henry Barth and
Chums Fear Lads Met
Foul Play

One week has passed since three boys
mysteriously disappeared from their
homes in West Philadelphia, and today
the police are still at sea concerning their
whereabouts.
The boys are Roy r. Hannum II years
old Of 1909 Leidy avenue; Joseph Lender
man, 16 years Cd of 42O7 Leidy avenue.
and George Ritchie, Il years old, of 1905
Leidy avenue. They were chums of 10
year-o!d Henry Rarth, Of 1855 Leidy ave-
nue., who has been missing for more than
three weeks. The Barth boys disappear
ance has also baffied the police.
Although the four missing boys are
chums, their families do not believe the
Barth boy is with the other three. 1t
is now thought that Henry Barth has
gone to New York as he is said to have
inquired of a friend the best way to get
to that city. The New York police have
been asked to look for him and all trains
from Philadelphia are closely watched.
The other boys are believed by their IA
theirs to be i'm Atlantic City or Penns-
grove, y. j., or camping out somewhere.
The mothers, however, are apprehensive.
Mr.. Hannum says he heard the boys talk
ing about Pennsgrove, while the Ritchie
boy is said to ave n habit of running
away to Atlantis City. That is the rea-
son the fathers are not inclined to worry
about the matter.
The police of the 39th street and Lam
caster avenue station have been search
ing the West Philadelphia district and
Fairmount Park. Mrs. Hannum received
mysterious telephone call Saturday
from a stranger who refused to give his
name. The man said the three boys were
at the Byberry Fair, selling peanuts, but
there the police found no trace of them.
The mothers now fear their sons have
met with foul play. Mrs. Hannum said
today she has dreamed of a casket the
last three nights. On looking into the
casket she saw the visage of her son
Roy, she said. Mrs. Riggin cries herself
to sleep every night.
