Because OF the great congestion in
brokerage houses. as a result Of the
tremendous business done in the last
few weeks. diiigent search has been
made by the Association of Stock Ex-
change Firms to discover some changes
In methods OF operation which might
help the situation. A plan which, 1t Is
believed. will eliminate at least some

recommended to the members. 1t pro-
vides for deposit Of checks of $4,000 and

and its operation must be based entirely
on Individual Arrangements between
Stock Exchange houses and banks
The committee found that nearly 20
per cent of the certified checks deposited
were for $4,000 or under and that certifi-
cation of checks requires considerable
time and work and adds to congestion In
clearing transactions. A letter signed
by George NJ. Woolsey. president OF the
Association OF Stock Exchange Firms,
has been sent to the members Of the as
sociation. II follows in part
The committee on clearing house of
the New York Stock Exchange has been
engaged In studying means to facilitate
handling of the large business being
transacted on the exchange, and at an
informal conference held recently with
officials of the Bank of Manhattan
Company, the Mechanics and Metals
National Bank, the Corn Exchange Bank
and the Hanover National Bank, with
the chairman of the committee on the
clearing house and the president of your
association, II was the opinion OF those
pr esent that provided checks of Stock
Exchange houses for sums of $1,000 and
under could be deposited without the
customary certification. II would be of
material assistance In the transaction of
business. and the banks represented
above, with several other banks carry
ing accounts OF Stock Exchange houses,
are prepared to discuss this matter with
their customers The executive commit
tee OF this association urgently recon-
mends that members Immediately con-
fer with their banks and endeavor to
secure their approval to an arrangement
whereby checks received by them for
sums not exceeding 5000 may be de-
posted without oertinoation."

well, Sister Cummins was here this
afternoon. She is president of the
w. c. r. U. and you know how she
talks. She was getting ready to go
home n 1 came to the door with her.
The twins were playing very sweetly
in their little playhouse and Sister
Cummins was just r%emarking how nice
my children played when Peter came
reeling into the playhouse. He knocked
Patty over and wanted to know why
the little brat wasn't in bed and or
dered Prissy to bring him a swag of
beer. She didn't hurry fast enough to
suit him so he knocked the table down
and stamped out.
/ expected the twins to howl but
instead they shrieked with laughter
and Prissy said G get trunk again,
Peter"
Sister Cummins left in great disgust
and by night everyone in this end of
town win know that you come home
drunk every night. Now what I want
to know is where do they get such
stuff ~
Papa stopped laughing and looked
guilty.
"I took them to see Children of
Other Lands the other night n after
that was over there was a comic piece
with the drunk man in it. Il tried to
get the children away when l saw what
it was but they wouldn't ZONE. They
were perfectly crazy about it. And
when we were coming put of the show
Peter said:
Don't look so glum, papa. We
wont tell her you let us stay"
Mama grinned.
Its your own fault then and I'm
not going to worry about your loss

arc light at Hayes playground will
help out during that half hour or SO at
the end of a game.
With only two and a half more
weeks of Fairgrounds the Riddles
say that they are ready and in good
trim for visitors at all times. Miss
Paine the supervisor this year, is very
anxious that the Fairgrounds enter
