SCOUTS CONDUCT THEIR
WALK-RITE" CAMPAIGN
Fifteen Hundred Boys Materially Aid
Traffic Policemen with Instruc-
tions to Pedestrians.

Pedestrians yesterday were taught the
proper Safety First method of crossing
intersections of streets. More than 1900
Boy Scouts turned out for the Walk
Rite" campaign. The work of the young
soldiers, while a curiosity to many OF
the pedestrians, materially aided the
traffic policemen all over the city.
The method of the Scouts was to guide
the pedestrians along a direct line from
sidewalk to sidewalk and prevent an
oblique crossing. Squads of eight or ten
boys were at each intersection. Two
were in the middle of the street, with
banners bearing a warning to Walk
Rite, for Safety First follow the arrow
move with the traffic" The others were
stationed at the street corners.
Through Mai. Pullman, the police de-
partment is cooperating in every way
with the Scouts.
Policeman Shelby Is continuing his
course of lectures to small boys through
out the city. A room at the National
Museum has been secured for the lee
lures.

The Federal Reserve Board made pub
lie yesterday its weekly bank statement
as at close of business on February H..

serves OF the banks show decrease OF

reserves declined over s1,00000o.
The New York bank reports net with
drawals of s3,5O0,OO0 of gold, and Of
s., 100000 of total cash, largely as the
result Of increased investment opera
tions, and net Withdrawals of member
banw deposits. The Atlanta bank re-
ports an increase of over 5000, 900 in its
credit balance in the gold settlement
fund, and of about $1,90o.Oo0 in its
total gold reserve. Chicago shows a
gain of $1,5O0,0O0 In its gold reserve
together with a decrease in the net
amount due from other reserve bank de-
posits.
OF the total earning assets Of the
banks, s1O3, 10000 bankers accept
ances constitute over twenty-seven per
cent, warrants and United States bonds
about twenty-five per cent each. and
rediscounts of commercial paper less
than twenty-four per cent Almost sixty
eight per cent of the discounted paper is
held by the three southern banks, while
over eighty per cent of the bills bought
in the open market are held by the three
banks on the eastern seaboard. Over
thirty-1ve per cent Of the paper held
by all the banks natures within thirty
days, while about thirty-slx per cent
natures after thirty, but within sixty
days.
Nearly 10000 of United States

now at 1S9 per cent. as against 176 per
cent the week before, and about rs
per cent six months before.

SEEK RATE CASE REHEARNG
Roads Assert Freight Charges from
West Are Justified.

Railroads have petitioned the Inter
state Commerce Commission for re-
hearing of the so-called export grain
case decided by it several weeks ago
The commission found that proposed IN
creased rates on grain, grain products
and by-products from Central Freight
Association territory ana certain points
in wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri and Ken
lucky to New York and other Atlantic
ports for export were not Cnsuned ana
ordered the schedules Cancelled.
The increases proposed were supple
mentary to the increase Of per cent
allowed in the per cent case.
The railroads now claim that they have
new evidence and recent statistics to
show that the rates are justified and
they therefore ask that the case be re-
opened.
The proposed rates did not go into
effect, as the commission suspended them
pending its investigation. and in its de-
cision required the carriers to formally
cancel them by February 13 Instead or
canceIing the tariffs, the carriers have
fled a petition for rehearing. stating
that they could cancel the tariffs as
directed and republish them, but 1t would
put them to undue expense.
