1T is time" says thereport, "for all
banks Of this country 10 realize that
the federal reserve act was framed to
benefit not only the bark, but also the
customers of the banks; that one of
the great objects of thelaw was to de-
centraliZe the money f the country;
to effect a more equitable distribution
of capital and do away with the old sys-
TEN by which the resources of our
banks have been so greatly concentTat-
ed in few cities or sections, there to
be loaned out largely on speculative
ventures, while in otherregions money
needed so urgently for the Legitimate
purposes of industry and of develop
ment has been scarce and oftentimes
obtainable only, if at Ill, at rates in
furious If not prohibitTy."
Mr.. Williams says that usury I'M
checked means "depopulation, hope
lessness, thriftlessness and resulting
loss Of producing capacity" He closes
with the statement that intimate con-
nection with the affairs of his Office
has shown that the large majority of
American bankers are honest and anX-
ious to obey the laws, patriotic and
intent on building up their communi-
ties and the country.
Speaking of the federal reserve sys-
TEN Mr.. Williams says the withdrawal
OF reserve funds from banks in tle
large cities and their transfer to r.
serve banks has not caused the pre-
dicted "convulsion from which tie
whole country would suffer" ''Tfe
business and commerce of the UNITED
States" he points out in this connec-
ton, have not contracted. They have
expanded to dimensions never befora
reached"
The report adds that if the resery,
act is amended so that all reserve
ultimately to be transferred to re
serve banks be withdrawn now in
stead of at the end Of three years d
the law now provides, there Will b
no disturbance or inconvenience to tn
national banks, which hold the fund
to be transferred.

London, Jan. Ii Lady Decies. who
was Miss Vivien Gould, tae daughter Of
George Gould of New York, is con-
sidered shining example for British
war matrons to copy, combining do
mesticity and philanthropy in happy
and even balance. Already the moth
er of two daughters she has presented
her husband with a son and heir, the
Hon. Arthur Marcus George Douglas
Beresford, born last April, and chris
tened in June at Seton Park Stoke
POges, near Windsor, with the Duke of
COnnaught, George Gould, and
General Sir Douglas Haig acting as
godfathers. Red Cross work still does
not lag with Lady Decies, and since
Lord Decies, colonel in an Irish regi-
ment, was made assistant adjutant and
quartermaster general of the British
army last September, she has been
identified prominently with army af-
fairs. He had hitherto assisted the war
department principally raising and
training troops in Ireland, near the
estate which he took there soon after
his marriage. LuttrellstOwn, a few
miles out Of Dublin.
Possessed OF much charm, as we'll
as common sense and intelligence, but
not worldly goods, Lord Decies soon
showed that he could make a distin-
guished career in politics as soon as
the Gould finances made him indie
pendent He had already served with
marked ability in the South African

BANKS Of NATION
never STRONGER
Growth Past Year Is Without Parallel
in History, Comptroller Says
in Report.

Washington, Jan. 11-"Develop-
ment and growth never paralleleG in
the financial history of any country"
is the way John Shelton Williams,
comptroller Of the currency, describes
in his annual report to congress, the
operation of the national banks under
his charge, during the period from
October, 1914, to November, 1915, the
first year under the federal reserve
system. The report was yesterday
presented to congress.
Mr.. Williams gives comparative
statement of the condition of the ma
tional banks to back up his statement.
He shows that net resources OF the
banks increased in the year S1,743,S 78,-
GAS, that deposits increased $2,OSl, $50
1914 and that loans and discounts
increased $917.450, SOP. Available cash
increased in the same period $685.
900. 900 and on Nov. 10. 1915, the re-
porting national banks had excess re-
serves of 1891 100000. Tables show
the comparative condition of banks in
1895 and 1915. In September, 1895,
there were 3.712 reporting banks with
net deposits of 1889 100000 and loans
and discounts of $2,059. 40S,402 while
in November, 1915, there were 1917 re-
porting banks with net deposits of
$9,O79, 333, 92S,973.
THE reserves held by national
banks Nov. 10, 1915 says the report,
exceeded by $5S7, 600, 600 the greatest
reserves ever held at any time prior
to the passage of the federal RESERVE
act. Loans and discounts amounted to
more than the total loans and dis
counts Of all banks. including nation
al, state, savings and private banks
and loan and trust companies-as late
as the year 1902"

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur. properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
,ustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray; also ends dandruf, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was TO make II at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
cit for about so cents. Everybody
uses this old, famous recipe. because
no one can possibly tell that you dark
ened your hair, as It does il so nat
urally and evenly. You damper a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; b. morning
the gray hair disappears. and after
another application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.

mendation for legislation is for an
amendment to the bank law authoriz-
ing and directing the department of
justice to bring suits against usurers
upon information furnished either by
the comptroller or through other
sources.
Other recommendations given under
heading to prevent bank failures
propose: To prohibit officers from Dor
rowing from their own banks; to pre-
vent loans to directors except with the
approval Of the board; to require Off
GERS and employees to give surety
bonds; TO limit direct and indirect
loans to one individual, firm or corpo-
ration to prevent or limit overdrafts;
to require certificates of deposit to be
signed by two directors: to prevent
erasures on the books of bank; to
limit interest paid on deposits: to au-
thorize the establishment of branches
( in the United States; to permit branch
| es in Alaska and insular possessions;
which ordinarily might be usurious
/ on small loans and to authorize the
1 comptroller to bring proceedings
/ against directors for losses sustained
by bank through violation of the bank
act.
! The report renews the comptroller
recommendations Of last year for other
legislation, including the giving of au-
thority to the comptroller to remove
directors guilty of persistent viola
tons of the bank act.
Banks says Mr.. Williams, nearly
always are broken, not by bank rob-
/ bers. who have come from the outside,
not by failure of customers to whom
they have lent money. but by the tying
up or dissipation of the banks funds
through loans to their own officers and
directors, or else by direct defalca-
tons and embellishments by trusted Of
ticers. If these evils are remedied-
and they can be remeded if certain
simple and much needed amendments
can be secured to the national bank
act-failures among national banks
can be reduced to a negligible number
or be absolutely eliminated"
MIR. Williams shows there were IA
failures during the IL months ended
Oct. 81. In the last 80 years, he says
there were EOS failures attributable tc
criminal acts while injudicious or care.
less banking was responsible for 49,
others
The comptroller devotes much space
TO presenting his side Of his fight with
national banks to prevent the charg,
ing Of usurious interest rates. HI
gives tables of loans by banks in diff,
}, ferent sections to back up his charge
and says that complaints have come OF
this practice particularly directed
against small banks in the south an(
. southwest, west and northwest.

Appropriations Chief Task.

Although Governor DUNES call OPP
ened wide the doors for revision of the
primary and election laws, many mem
bers were predicting today that little
will be done with these measures and
that the principal work of the special
session will be the enactment of addi-
tional appropriations to pay foot and
mouth damage claims However, it
was generally reported that the legis-
lature may cut down the election cost
in Chicago by the elimination or COM
bination of several of the registra-
ton days there. 1t was said also that
the lawmakers probably may amend
