closed a loss Of s49,182, 900 in sur

reserves at the Federal Reserve Bank

Bankers in the financial district ex-
pressed the opinion that the large
shifting of credits during the past
week. which were largely responsible
for the establishing Of the highest rates
for call money since 1907 and a severe
slump in stock market prices, would
likely result in keeping money rates
stiff for some days to come. In fact.
in some quarters it was stated that the
policy of the banks would be to main
tain a high renewal rate on call loans
until the situation has been completely
stabilized

Mexico Long Aware
OF Radical Invasion
Government Orders Port Off.
cials to Increase Efforts to
Bar Undesirables

MEXICO CITY. Nov. 15.-In connec-
ton with charges that Red propaganda
is going into the United States by way
of Mexico, it is known here the gov
eminent has been aware that radicals
of various sorts have intended to in
clude Mexico in their field of opera
tions.
Officials in all ports of entry have
been ordered to increase their vigi-
lance against the entry of these unde-
sirables. Deportation by the authori-
ties here of many radicals within the
last few months is taken. as evidence
the government is not inclined to
temporize with an element regarded as
dangerous.
Newspaper reports recently said a
group of 1870 radicals, expelled from
the United States and Argentine, were
expected at Tampico and Vera Cruz,
and precautions were taken to bar
them.
No official statement could be OBJ
tanned to-day with regard to the United
States State Departments disclosure of
the placing by Mexico of large orders
for arms and ammunition in Belgium

Same Saloon

A debate over the comparative merits
Of two live pigs grew into q pistol bat
tie at the saloon of William Cardash,
1898 Avenue A, last night, in which
three men were wounded and more
than dozen shots were fired. Those
injured were Mike Pavelack, bartender,
shot in left side of neck; John Noza,
of 41e East Seventy-second Street, shot
through the right ear, and Joseph
Berka, of 421 East Seventy second
Street, shot through the right hand.
Berka and two others. Charles Steh-
lick, of 1853 Avenue A, and Joseph
Burke, Of 1916 Avenue A, are held in
the West Sixty-seventh Street police
station, charged with assault. Accord
ing to witnesses, they entered the
saloon to sell chances on two pigs to
be ratified off Thanksgiving Eve, and
began to quarrel concerning which was
the better porker.
The clatter of shots brought Patrol
man Jeffrey, who saw Berka run out
of the saloon and arrested him. Berka
and the other two injured were taken
to Reception Hospital. Two revolvers,
with all chambers empty, were found
on the floor of the saloon.

Chile Will Attempt
To Stabilize Currency

VALPARAISO, Chile, Nov. 15.-Gull-
lermo Subercasseaux, Minister Of Fin.
ance, in letter to the "Me~curio," says
that one Of the principal endeavors If
the new government will be to stabilize
the value Of Chilean currency, which
now f1uctuates daily over wide margins
with resultant confusion to commerce.
The Minister said the Cabinet was
planning the formation of a govern.
ment central bank, somewhat similar
to the American Federal Reserve Bank.
1t is proposed to fix the value of the
Chilean peso at IL pence sterling. The
peso now fuctuates between 91a and ~
pence.
The newspapers declare that this is
the sole issue on which all the political
parties are united, and that it cons+i-
tutes the problem on which all other
economic problems are based. The new
plan will abolish speculat ion by making
it unnecessary for merchants to rush
to buy bills of exchange to cover IN
voices on the same day goods are pur-
chased.

TAX EXPERTS LOSING SLEEP
Question, "When Is a Girl Miss?" IL
Puxzling Bureau Of Internal
Revenue.

The other. day Lew Hahn, executive
secretary of the National Retail Dry
Goods association, took the Joy out of
life for the experts Of the bureau OF
internal revenue when he asked
whether corsets We're underwear. Now
he has gone and done it again, the
query this time being:
when does a girl become miss"
Trainers of the new revenue tax law
included in the list of taxables ''wom-
ems and misses wearing apparel Elk
perts Of the bureau, Mr.. Hahn says,
have Informed retailers that no tax is
to be collected on wearing apparel for
girls.
Retailers say there are hundreds and
hundreds Of misses, and quite a few
married women, who are 50 petite that
they can still wear, and therefore buy,
girls clothes. Does the fact that such
articles of clothing are to be worn by
women Of mature years change the ma
ture Of the apparel in the eyes Of the
law or do garments designed for girls
remain girls wear. regardless of the
age of those who buy and wear them?
This is the puzzle Mr.. Hahn has put up
to the bureau experts.
