DEMOCRATIC STATE SENATE leader RESIGNS
Gray. Offers $5
to Buy Present
For Miss Clark
TBY LEASED WjRE.1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Represent-
ative Finly H. Gray of Connersville,
Ind. who declined to contribute IS
to buy wedding present for Miss
Jessie Wilson, caused some surprise
yesterday when he handed IS bill
to Representative Robert N. Page OF
North Carolina as his contribution to
fund that is being raised among
members of the house of representa-
tives to buy wedding present for
Miss Genevieve Clark, daughter Of
Speaker Clark. Representative Page
is member of the committee appoint
ed to collect the fund.
When the move to buy a present for
Miss Jessie Wilson started Representa-
tive Gray took the position that a
much more laudable way of spending
money would be to give it to the poor,
and while other members were con-
tributing IS each to the wedding fund
he gave that amount to Washington
charity. He received letters from all
over the country commencing him On
his stand.
When Miss Eleanor Wilson was mar
ried to Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo the committee raising the we'd
ding present fund passed Gray by and
he was not invited to contribute. There
was some debate at first as to whether
he would be invited to contribute TO
the Genevieve Clark fund, but the
committee on arrangements finally de-
cided to send him the same letter
that was sent to every other member.

Prof. G. H. Childs, head of the de-
partment of education of Indiana uni
versity, visited the high school and
Garfield, Junior high school yester-

resentative of the North Central AS.

Winchester to inspect the school there,
which has made application for mem

Prof. Childs said that Richmond has
one of the best equipped high schools
in the state, and the results that are
being obtained here compare favor
ably with any school in the country.
He said that Garfield school was the
best example of the ideal junior high
school that he had seen. While other
schools made the required calss di-
visions, he said Garfield school had
provided flexible courses, with elec-
tive studies, that met the real junior
high school requirements. Mr.. Childs
was much pleased with the work at
the night school.

BENEFITS OF
RESERVE BOARD

The hurried opening Of the Fed
eral reserve banks has fully justi-
fled itself.
The new system caused such q
release of bank reserves and in
crease in confidence that New York
commercial paper in two weeks
dropped from above 6 per cent to
81. and per cent.
The formation of the gold ex-
change and cotton funds rendered
material service by restoring con-
fidence and stabilizing values.
Had the Federal reserve banks
been in operation at the beginning
OF August they, instead Of the clear
ing houses and the United States
treasury. would have supplied the
great volume of currency which
was called for.
The reserve banks duty is not to
await emergencies, but by anticipa-
tion do what it can to prevent them.
