Booth founded tho salvation
Army half a century ago he
w declared it to be a religious
body founded upon military princ
Piles, its object being to save souls
and help all manner of persons TO a
better life. Religion" he said, "must
dominate the whole life. In riches
or In poverty, in peace or in war, the
ministrations of religion are neccs
sary to humanity"
Just how well these prccepts have
been carried out is shown in the re-
markable work in every part of the
globe which has been carried on by
this body of selfsa crificing men and
women whose one object seems to be
the uplifting of mankind regardless
OF race or color. General Bramwcll

of continuing the work, is carrying

fury ago that Daniel Webster,
New England's greatest states
j man. in speaking of the Pacific
Coas;, including California, declared,
What do we want with this vast,
worthless area--this region of saw
ages. and wild beasts, of deserts,
shifting sands and whirling winds of
dust, of cactus and prairie dogs? To
what use could we ever hope to put
these great deserts of endless noun
tain ranges, impreguable and covered
TO their base with eternal snow?
What can we ever hope to do with
the western coast of three thousand
miles, rockbound, cheerless, uninvt-
ing, with not a harbor on it? What
use have we for such a country? Mr..
President, ! will never vote one cent
from the public treasury to place the
Pacific coast one inch nearer to Bos-
ton than it now Isl" What n pity,
the statesman did not live to see the
falacy of his statement, for this desc
late desert place is now the modern
Garden OF Eden.

The southern part of California es-

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

Power to Change Location Of

lsank-Qucsti0n OF Reduction in
Capital Stock Also BrOachcd.

WASHINGTON. -. G.. February ..--
Acknowledgement Gregory has been
asked by the Federal Reserve Board
for an opinion as to whether IT has
power TO change the location of
Federal reserve bank. and whether
there is authority in the reserve law
for "a reduction in tho capital stock Of
II Federal reserve bank.
The first question was asked h"caus"
the board has before il an appeal from
banks in Pittsburgh asking for the re
serve banl; now located in Cleveland
and one from Baltimore banks asking
for the bank now in Richmond.
The Attorney General already has
held that the board has no authority
to abolish a Federal reserve district,
on the ground that the law charters
the reserve banks for twenty years.
and that only an act of Congress can
cancel such charters.
Tho question Of a reduction in capital
stock was asked because the reserve
act merely says that no reserve bank
shall begin business with less than
$4,000. 900 subscribed capital. if the
board cut portion Of an existing, dis
trict from 1t. and left it's bank with
less than 100000 capital by such
action. it wants to know what would
be the effect.
Tho Federal Reserve Board issued 4
statement to-day expressing regret at
the disposition evidenced in some
states To draw distinction between
state and national banks which are
members OF the Federal reserve system.
1t has taken form, the statement
says. by efforts in some states to scpa-
rate existing bankers societies into
separate organizations; one for state
and one for national banks.
1T appears to the board" says the
statement. that a common ground for
both groups of banks should be sought.

Drivers Ease a Feature
of the Cadillac Eight

$50 much has been said - and with
full justification-about the new charms
which the Cadillac eight-cylinder en-
gine has contributed to motoring, that
other noteworthy features of the cars
operation and control have command
ed almost equal attention" is the view
expressed by Il. Z. Howard, Cadillac
sales manager.
'I think that, in view of the expert
ence of 25.0O0 Cadillac Eight owners.
there is much in the wonderful smooth
ness OF. the motor, its usual accelera .
tion and fleXibility. and its remarkable
work on the hills. owners have eN-
perienced these qualities to their
hearts content. and found them even
more than they had meen led to. eN-
pect. But along with them, they have
discovered other good points which are
important in the operation of a motor
car anywhere. and especially in touring.
when a man drives from hundred
TO two hundred miles for days run,
he naturally will feel considerable
strain If constant effort is required TO
steer the car and keep it in the road.
The Cadillac Eight has become noted
for the ease with which it handles in
these two respects. 4 gentle influence
and ii holds the road with practically
no effort on the drivers part.
"Then the clutch releases easily, and
it engages with marked softness The
brakes are manipulated scores of times
a day without muscle-strain, and with
out material eNertion to get fun effec-
tiveness. Hardly more than a gentle
pressure of the foot put the brakes
ON either lightly or firmly as circum-
stances demand.
such things make long drive in the
Cadillac Eight pleasure, because they
prevent most of the strain and fatigue
of long-distance driving. And such
qualities are not so common that they
can be regarded lightly by men who
like touring, either behind the steering
wheel or in the comfort of tonneau
seat
