the area bounded by 18th street west.
18th street east, Pennsylvania avenue
south and H street north, are In COM
petition with one another and cannot.
under tho Clayton anti-truSt law, be

sumed to be no competition director
of a banking institution In this area
might also be q director in financial
institution in some other part OF the
city.
The federal reserve board has been
working a number of months prepara-
tory to the enforcement of the amend
ment to the Clayton antitrust law The
original law absolutely refused to per-
NIT interlocking .directorates OF bank
ing institutions, but In an amendment,
approved May Is last, the law was sup
plemented so as to permit an officer,
director or employe of one bank TO
serve on not more than two other banks
or trust companies where they W ere not
in substantial competition" with each
other.
MeLQOQ Oh 4uQ Jury.
To ascertain tho facts as to competi-
ton between banking institutions the
board has been engaged during the
summer in sending to institutions
blanks requiring them to report as to
their directors; blanks to each director
who wished to serve on more than one
institution, requiring him to make ap-
plication before he could do SO. and
stating all the facts, and at the same
time requiring the federal reserve agent
to report upon the applications of indi-
vidual directors
The amendment becomes effective Oc-
tober 16, and the board h4s been send
ing answers to bank directors all over
the country. including those of Wash
fngton banks and trust companies.
Generally speaking, as already stated.
directors, officers and employees of. in
situations within the area mentioned
are forbidden from serving more than
one banking concern in the same
capacity.
The Same action has been taken by the
board at two other points in Washing
ton whore banks are near each other
and are understood to be in active COM
petition with each other. AS to banking
institutions somewhat isolated from
each other the decision has been
reached that they are not In competi-
ton and there may be service by a di-
rector or officer upon at least two other
institutions not in competition.

FIRST THANKSGIVING WAY IN
THE L.. ). A.

It's been many years since Thanks
giving Day
! Was first celebrated in the I. S. A.
The pilgrims had prosperous sum
mer here
And with everything plentiful, they
lived in good cheer.
As the country was so pleasant there
among the flowers and trees,
And they had raised an abundant
crop of corn, barley and peas,
Brave Governor Bradford says, We
will feast and celebrate,
And in vite the WampOnoag Indians
to come and partake. D."
So he sent an invitation to the chief
Massasoit
Telling him to come TO the pilgrim
feast and exploit.
So the next morning at daylight the
WampOnoags came
With loud cheers and plenty of wild
game.
And several braves had on their
backs
Great large buckskin bags and sacks,
And turning to the table just to their
right
They emptied the contents snowy
white.
The pilgrims looked on quite surpris-
ed and forelorn
But they soon rejoiced when they
tasted popcorn.
And there at the feast both white
man and Red
With wild turkey and venisen were
boUntifully fed.
So now as the feast mad been sue
cess in so many ways,
The pilgrims decided to continue it
Il few more days
So the Indians went with arrow and
bow,
And killed for the feast the buck and
the doe.
And the Pilgrims with their Blund-
erbuss so kicly ana jerky
Managed to kill some quail and wild
turkey.
And at the end of these happy and
thankful days,
White and Red men went peacefully
upon their ways.
They parted then amidst peace, good
will and cheers.
And the same was not broken for
near fifty years.

PROGRESSWEIsM APPROVED

When ali the circumstances, all the
events, all the theories, all the re-
suits and all the conditions which
produced the results of the recent
presidential election are considered,
the one fact that stands out above all
others is that the vast majority of the
people of the United States have be-
come progressiVes.
When the Enquirer in early 1912
led the fight for a progressive candi-
date and Progressive principles in the
Democratic primaries of Ohio that
year, when it pointed out that re-
actonary candidate and reactionary
principles meant certain defeat for
the Democratic party. it met with de-
terjnined opposition from men who
are now eager to be called progress
sive; men who would be delighted
to have the Democratic voters regard
them as original Progressiyes.

PECULIAR SPECIMEN OF WASP
.naect That ls Becoming More Com
mon In England Not Pretty Thing
to Look A.

The other day q fearsome insect
made its appearance In the window
Of a local chemists shop, relates the
London Chronicle. The chemist. plac-
ing q little chloroform wad near the
invader, soon reduced It to coma
tose condition. In color and shape
1t was much like giant hornet. with
a very long sting. 1t was a specimen
Of the giant-tailed wasp (Sirex gigans),
which is getting much more common
than II was some years ago. The
larva is q wood-feeder. and Is sup
posed to have been introduced to
Great Britain In foreign timber.
The perfect insect is about two
inches In length. has four membra-
nous wings. and long. yellow antennae.
The body is blueblack. with yellow
stripes, and the long boring apparatus
used by the insect for piercing q hole
into the timber in which TO deposit it,
eggs has. to the uninitiated, the ap-
pearance OF terrible sting. When
Matched, the grub bores its way into
the interior OF the timber, where Il
enjoys itself for thrse years, or even
longer.

we drifted fairly down upon 1t. so that
nothing remained to do but hook the
tackles to either end and hoist It
aboard, noticed blood spouting from
Kerfoots left hand. In some way the
third finger had been crushed to q
pulp. But he gave no sign of pain.
and with his single right haad helped
us lash the boat in its place.
Then we raced, and wildly. across
the wild sea, the while hung like q
fly in the crosstrees and searched for
the other boats. In half an hour
sighted the second one, swamped and
bottom up, to which we're desperately
clinging Jock Horner, fat Louis and
Johnson. This time remained aloft,
and Wolf Larsen succeeded In heav-
ing to without being swept. AS before,
we drlfted down upon 1t. Tackles
were made fast and lines flung to the
men, who scrambled aboard like mon.
keys.
AS before, the Ghost swung out of
the trough, lifting her deck again out
of the sea, and dashed before the
bowling blast. 1t was now half-past
FIVE, and half an hour later. when the
last of the day lost itself in dim and
furious twilight, sighted third boat.
1t was bottom up, and there was no
sign of its crew. Wolf Larsen re-
peated his maneuver. holding OF and
then rounding up to windward and
drifting down upon It. But this time
he missed by forty feet. the boat pass
ing astern.

It was Hendersons boat, and with
him had been lost Holyoak and VIII
liams, another of the deep.water
crowd. Lost they indubitably were;
but the boat remained, and Wolf Lar
sen made one more reckless effort to
recover 1t.
And when he put the wheel hard
over and the Ghosts bow swung on,
l was once more buried beneath the
pounding seas and clinging for life
to the pinrail at the foot Of the fore
mast. When the Ghost finally emerged
Kelly, who had come forward at the
last moment. was missing.
This time. having missed the boat
and not being in the same position as
in the previous instances, Wolf Lar
sen was compelled to resort to diff
ferent maneuver. Running OF before
the wind with everything to starboard.
he came about and returned close
hauled on the port tack. Though We
were continually half-buried, there
was no trough in which to be swept.
and we drifted sQuarely down upon
the upturned boat, badly smashing II
as II was heaved inboard.
