RESERVE BANK APPEALS
HELD FOR LEGAL OPINION
Federal Board Awaits Decision on
Its Authority to Change
Any Locations.

, Action by the federal reserve board
on appeals before it for changes in the
location of reserve banks and realign-
ment of the boundaries of reserve dis
tricts will await an opinion by Attor-
ney General Gregory as to whether.
under the federal reserve act. the board
has authority to reduce the number of
reserve districts.
The Attorney General was asked for
a ruling after the board had considered
the question in connection with the ap-
peals now pending. The appeals come
from almost every section of the coun-
try.
Counsel for the board have held that
1t is without authority to reduce the
number of districts. Attorneys for ap-
pealins banks hold to the contrary. and
this view is said to be shared by three
or four of the seven members of the
board.
The appeals now before the board in
ciude that of Baltimore to be desig-
mated a3 reserve bank city in place of
RICHMOND; that of Pittsburgh to re-
place Cleveland in the same capacity:
that OF banks in southern Wisconsin
to be shifted from the Minneapolis to
the Chicago district. that of banks in
western Connecticut to be shifted to
the New York from the Boston district.
ana that of banks in Louisiana to be
included in the Dallas district instead
Of the Atlanta district.

PAMPHLET DESCRIBES

Department of Commerce Makes
Clear New Method to Be Fol-
lowed by Shippers.

| With a view to acquainting exporters
with the new shippers export declara-
tions and the procedure in connection
with expectations. the Department of
Commerce today issued pamphlet de-
scribing the new methods to be. fol :
lowed by shippers. The new method
also will give the government hetteI
statistics, for the declarations will be
made out at the source by the shipper
instead of the port of expectation,
where agents of the firm, heretofore
have had to make the.ade lara tions be
fore a collector OF customs Declart-
tions now may be made before u notary
public.
Too often and too truthfully,"- said
IA statement accompa nyine the PAM
phlet. 1T has been said that there il:
pleteness and accuracy of our export
statistics. The bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, which is required
by law to publish the statistics of i'm
ports and exports, is under obi CATION
to the manufacturers of this country to
present accurate returns that can he
used safely as a business guide. This,
1t is believed. will be accomplished by
the new regulatio with no added
hardship to exporters who have beer
observing the legal requirements. Iu-
stead, their convenience will be served
by the use of a simplifed form that
may be certified to before. any officer
empowered to administer oaths and
that is so drawn up as to prevent any
disclosure of the value of the shipment
to outside parties. The opera tfon OF

GET SUPPLY OF RADlUM
FOR TREATING CANCER
Product of Bureau of Mines Deliv-
cred to Two Hospitals, Price
$37, 900 Gram.

The possibility of the bureau OF
mines producing radium for $4,000 a
gram-one- third less than the present
selling price-has resulted in two of
this country's hospitals being i'll a
position to secure a large supply OF
radium for use in their battle against
cancer, was the statement made re-
Gently through the bureau of mines.
by Secretary Lane of the Interior De
partment. The hospitals are: Kelly
Sanitarium. Baltimore, and the Memo
rial Hospital. New York.
Five grams of radium. it is said, have
been extracted from the carnotite ores,
and about half of it has been deliver
ed in finished form to the two institu-
tions. In co-opera ton with the Ma
tional Radium Institute, which was Or
ganzed for studying the curative prop
critics of radium, the bureau of mines
produced these grams. Investigations
have been under the direction of Dr.
{. L. Parsons of the bureau of mines.

Results Are Gratifying.

The use of radium in the treatment
of cancer is said to have been very
gratifying to the medical profession in
the past year. Many hospitals have no
radium. while the few that do possess
it have but very small quantity.
In 1912 there were sixteen to twenty
grams of radium contracted for
abroad. mostly by Germany. at prices
above $4,000 a gram. Apparently the
war has only affected the amount pro-
duced. the market price being about
the same. 1t is said by authorities
that there is not sufficient ore available
to maintain for many years the rate
of production in 1914.

Thursday, March 25, will mark
the closing of our school term

entire district regrets the end Of
the scholastic year, which we
can unreservedly say has been
one Of the most successful, as
well as most pleasant terms in
the history Of our school.

Mary Finch, have been most
faithful in the discharge of their
duties, and their elevating in
huence will remain in the com
munity as. we'll as in the class
room, long after they have gone
from our midst. We have
ample proof that they have put
their very best efforts and en-
ergies into their work, as the
progress Of the pupi S will show.
Not only haye they given care
full attention to the pupils in the
class room, but they have given
them special training in the
literary societies and debates,
and have already held two ora
torical contests, delivering a
gold medal to the most efficient
speaker at each contest. And
now, as a fitting close for the
years work, they are preparing
to give one Of the very best en-
ter tainments ever held in the
