ALAS FOR DAYS OF ROMANCE
One by One the StronghoIds Of the
Novelist Are Being Wrested
From Him.

One by one the abodes of romance
end mystery-likev ise of discomfort
and barbarism-get progressive and
pass away. The latest place to Join
the procession appears to be Bangkok.
capital of Siam, and home of the
sacred white elephant.
Perhaps that elephant still trumpets
from the royal gardens. but he soon
will be transferred to zoo and be-
come a spectacle instead of a holy
emblem. For Bangkok not only has
installed an electric power station. but
is using the surplus current of day.
light hours to run rice mills. In the
presence of that sort of efficiency
old-time romance sickens and dies
Its loss is not without compensation
to be sure. Electric fans, for example
must be handy to a place like Bang
kok, whose average temperature
throughout the year is about 81 de-
grees Fahrenheit But what knight
ever waited for an electric fan when
rescuing his lady love from a mys
terious zenana, and what fun is there
in raiding a sultan's treasure that is
guarded by commonplace burglar
alarms instead of by white cobras ?
Alas and alack! Romance has depart
ed from Bangkok, and the geograph-
ical novelist is driven from one more
stronghold of the imagination.

Whales.

The whale is not a fish. In every
thing which characterizes a true fish
and separates it from other classes, as
reptiles, birds and animals, the whale
resembles the last named (the man.
mals) and differs radically and funda-
mentally from the fish.

MAKES PROVISIONS
FOR STATE BANKS
Federal Reserve Board Ar
ranges For Entry Without
Liquidation.

provision for the entry Of State
banks into the Federal Reserve system.
with the provision that they can with
draw at any time without liquidation
or surrender of their charter. has prac-
tically been determined upon by the
Federal Reserve Board.
The only limitation to be placed by
the board on withdrawal Of State banks
Is one limiting the amount Of capital
and surplus that may be withdrawn
in any one year.
1t is expected that this will meet the
principal objection of state bankers to
entering the reserve system. II having
been their conclusion that once in they
could not get out again II conditions
made II desirable
The Reserve Board wants to bring as
many State banks as possible Into the
system to make 1t az mobile and COM
plete as possible. and this consdera-
ton has weighed in the tentative
provision for Withdrawals. In other
words every State institution Will be
given opportunity to enter the system

More French Gold.

NEW YORK. May 14.-Gold amount
ing to 100000 reached this port on
the French liner Rochambeau. 1t was
consigned by the Bank of France to its
agents here This Is the second heavy
shipment Of the yellow metal from
France in recent weeks direct to New
York, making total receipts on French
account of S7,0Co.O0N.
Although not officially stated, il is
understood that there is more
French gold on the Atlantic bound for
New York, and 1t is estimated that the
movement soon will run into large fig
ures because of the heavy war onliga-
tions piling up here for tho French.
Total receipts OF the metal from all
sources since January ! aggregate a
little more than $62,OoOcn. the greater
proportion being from the Bank Of
Englands gold reserve in Ottawa.

USE AND BEAUTY

tic, Says F. A. Parsons.

"Clothes which won't let a woman

which permits it's owner to wear It in
comfort may contain all the essentials
of art. even though 1t originated at the
hands of an obscure country seam

These are a few Of the epigrammatic
utterances of Frank Alvah Parsons, d.

not proof that II is art. That another

Moving, Says Garrison

Secretary of War Garrison denied to-

issued by the War Department in con-

situation.
He was led to this denial by injuries
whether anything was in contemplation,
such as the shifting Of troops or the
mobilization of forces.
AS matter of fact, the Government
Is purposely refrainng from any action
which might seem at this time TO back
up the recent note with threats OF resort
to arms.
