Way to Break a Habit.

Has your little girl formed the nail
biting habit? If SO, try the plan Of
one mother who believed in kindness
rather than harshness. Her little girl
was most anxious to possess a certain
doll which she saw In a toy shop. The
mother promised it to her on condition
that she would stop biting her nails.
She told the child that whenever she
forgot herself the doll would disap-
pear for a day. The idea worked
beautifully. There were days when
the doll was locked away, but in time
the habit was entirely broken and the
doll was ever present.-Exchange.

EFFORT TO SING STATE BANKS
 INTO FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
Looking to a Further Mobilization of the country's Financial Resources.

Washington, April 1e.--A renewal of effort, on a nationwide scale, to bring state banks into the federal reserve system is to be made soon as part of comprehensive programme look ing to the further mobilization Of the Country's financial resources
 Legislation looking to this end was fayorably reported today to the senate by Chairman Owen of the banking and currency committee. The committee not only favors the enactment of the amendments to the reserve act which failed at the last sesSion of congress. but proposes new ores which. it be- neves, if enacted. would result in re- suit in removing one of the, chief ob- jections of state banks to coming in- to the system, the restriction against interlocking directorates-
 The proposed amendment also would allow state banks to exercise the priv ileges now accorded them under state laws and would impose upon them a minimum of restrictions Another feature of the amendments would per init state banks to withdraw from the system should they for any reason desire to do So-

SOLDIERS, PAY DOUBTFUL
State Manufacturers Not Expected to
 Continue Remuneration.

No concerted action has been taken among Connecticut manufacturers re- garding pay of their employees who go to war. Each manufacturer is do- ing as bests suits the situation in his business. Probably very few shops will give full pay to men while they are acting as soldiers. but nearly all will have their factory positions open for them when they return from their country's service.
 There are several reasons why Con- necticut shop owners will not pay their men full wages While they are sol- diers, or even make up the difference between their shop pay and their ar- my pay. One is that it puts patriot ism at a premium and is not fair to the soldier who does not come from a well paid factory or clerical job. Another is that enIistments from . small concern might be so proportion- stelv heavy and the army service so long that it would seriously affect the finances of the concern. In larger con- cerns the plan might also be very costly as the experience of English and Canadian manufacturers have proved.
