Many New Lows for 1915.

Many new lows for 1915 were made
in the initial hour. and still further
recessions were recorded later on.
The weight of day-to-day circum-
stances. despite easy money at low
rates. despite best railroad earnings for
years and industr!2! and commercial
activity, is too serious for the stock
market to present strong front to
bear attacks.

IN the second hour of the afternoon
the trading was even less active. but
the bears seemed satisfied with their
positions, at least they did not start
covering during the hour.
The pressure, however, relaxed mate

steadier, with prices slightly better
than the low of the morning hours.
Steel common, which had been down
to 1914, was back to sou, and most of
the industrials showed about the same
fractional recovery.

FIRST STEP TAKEN IN
FEDERAL RESERvEPLAN
Currency to Be Based on Commerce
Demands. Instead of Govern
ment Bonds.

The first step has been taken to-
ward carrying out plans Of the franz
ers of the federal reserve act for sub
demands of commerce for a currency
based on government bonds.
In a letter to the federal reserve
board yesterday Secretary McAdoo an
nounced his readiness to provide for
the retirement during the present year
of s3O.000,0oo of the per cent United
States bonds used by the national banks
to secure their note circulation.
This is regarded by members of the
board as the most important action af-
fecting the reserve system taken in
many months. There Is outstanding
more than s700.000.O00 worth of these
2 per cent bonds, a total that hereto
fore has not varied, with the result
that the amount of national bank notes
in circulation has been fixed no matter
whether money was tight or easy.
Provides for Retirement.
The reserve act provides for the re-
tirement of the IS in twenty years, the
national bank currency gradually being
replaced by federal reserve notes, based
upoIl CoHllueTcld paper anu Solu anu
counted upon by the trainers of the law
to respond to the demands of business
Machinery is provided in the reserve
act for the retirement of the IS by their
refunding in thirty-year per cent
bonds, on which currency cannot be
based. and one-year United States gold
notes.
The law says that reserve banks shall
be required to purchase total of
$25.000.000 of the 2 per cents from
banks which are members of the sys-
tenn each year if the banks desire to
get rid OF this amount.
Mr.. McAdoo. however, on advice of
counsel. has decided that this provision
of the law covers only per cent bonds
held by national banks against which
they have issued bank currency, and
not bonds held by reserve banks for
Investment purposes. and against
which there is no outstanding circula-
ton. The effect of this decision, it
was said tonight, probably will be to
retire the per cents much faster
than was expected.

Round Shoulders
Common, in Boys
Examined at "Y'

Two hundred. twenty-fi five boys be-
tween the ages Of II and Is marched
into the Y. NJ. c.. A. building Thursday
night. stripped, were marshaled thru
four separate rooms, before the eyes OF
seven physicians, given a physical ex-
animation, and were back in the lobby,
clothed and In their right mind in ex-
actly one hour and thirty minutes.
Every one connected with the Job was
well satisfied that the first physical ex-
animation conducted on a large scale
had been q success.
Several very interesting facts were
cleaned from the examinations. The
seven doctors of the city who conduct
ed it free of charge to the boys de-
clared it was as valuable to them as to
the boys.
Round and STOPPING shoulders. and
protruding shoulder blades were found
to be the most common defects pres
ent. and these can be remedied by
gymnasium activities. Tonsils and
adenoids came next as. needing at
tention most, and running close with
these defects were teeth. These. Of
course, can not be helped at the I. M.
C. A. Only Il very few of the boys ex-
amlned had good teetr. Several show
ed neglect. Others were just begin
ming to decay.
The boys were examined for heart
and lung trouble, hernia, bad eyes,
ears, nose and throat, teeth and pos
ture. Two were found with weak
hearts and two with bad lungs. The
latter can be helped by gymnasium ex-
ercise. Five boys with pigeon breasts
were discovered and several had slight
curvatures of the spine. Defects of
eyes and ears were rare.
Director Gilman notified the boys
Thursday night that positively no boy
would be admitted to any gymnasium
class unless he had had physical ex-
animation. Out Of 800 cards sent out
about seventy-flve boys did not show
up. These boys must take an examin-
alton before they will be allowed to
participate in any class at the Y. NJ.
C. A. Another examination will be
held after the first of the year to see
IL the defects found in several Of the
boys have been ,remedied. If they have
not a special class will be formed for
these boys alone.
