Dealing With a World Problem.

\MV| You may have favorite book,
wv a favorite hat, a favorite motor car
or favorite star Of the stage or screen.
So also you have favorite author.
A great many people have come to look
upon Jack Lait as a favorite author.
He has earned their favor through many
years of diligent effort. During that per-
iod he has won many friends. His bril-
liant style, his keen wit, his sympathetic
understanding, his humor and, above all,
his realistic portrayal Of human emotions
have gained for him high position in the
minds of the literary public.
Nor is this appreciation without justifi-
cation, for Jack Lait's stories have been
the source of much entertainment for hun
dreds of thousands of people. His sharp,
clear depletion of life has been the daily
OF weekly literary food for many.
He has been bold and daring. Many Of
his stories have shocked us and amused us.
Jack Lait has written more than 500
short stories, novels and plays His works
have been favorably compared with those
of O. Henry.
For word portraits Of life, for lucid de-
piction of human emotion for clear express
sion of the sublime or the ridiculous for
brilliant, forceful diction, Jack Lait today
occupies high place in literary circles.
In '"The Red Shawl" Mr.. Lait has
sought to bring forth in an interesting
story of love and adventure the problems
which are perplexing the world today.
Bolshevism is the central theme of "The
Red Shawl" The story opens in Grodnia,
Slavonic kingdom. Bolshevism has upset
the monarchy. The king has been killed.
His daughter, the princess, aided by al
newspaper correspondent, flees to Amer
lea.
On the lower east side of New York this
daughter of royalty takes refuge from the
Bolsheviki of Grodnia.
And here she falls in love.
"The Red Shawl is the story of the
hour 1t is an expose Of the evils of Boil
shevism, realistic portrayal of just what
is happening in Europe today.
The vein Of fact which runs through it
gives you better understanding of Boil
shevism, of monarchies and republics.
Read this from the first chapter:
where the princes and crowned
princesses, kings and grand dukes, chancellors

Bankers Approve
Plan to Promote
Foreign Commerce
Legislation to Extend Activ-
tiles of National Banks
Will Help Davison's Pro-
gramme

Legislation permitting national banks
to become stockholders in corporations
designed to promote foreign trade, pro-
posed by the Federal Rtserve Board.
received the unqulifed approval Of
bankers in the financial district yes
terday. The suggested change in the
law would allow national banks until
January l, 1921, to invest up to 5 per
cent OF their capital and surplus in one
or more corporations engaged in for
elgn financial operations
Executive officials of New York ma
tlonal banks expressed the opinion that
the Federal Reserve Boards plan. if
enacted into the necessary legislation,
would be an important factor in the
projected financing arrangements for
nnanclng Europe's postwar buying in
the United States. They believed that
1t would work in with the scheme sug-
gested by Henry P. Dawson, which is
now receiving the attention of the
hnanclal community. Mr.. Dawson has
suggested the formation of a nation
wide investment trust, whose securities
Wou!d be sold to American investors in
lieu of the offering of foreign seucuri-
ties here direct.
The proposal of the Federal Reserve
Board regarding the activities of mt
tlonal banks in the general scheme for
financing Europe's needs" said E. v. R.
Thayer, president of the Chase Ma
tlonal Bank, "is one that will boutless
meet with the approval of every ma
tional bank in the country. 1t is a
plan that should have their coopera-
ton, as this is the time for every one
to get together and help those who
have suffered most from the war to get
back to a normal basis"
John r. ROvenSkv vico.rroc;dop% of
the National Bank of Commerce, said
that the proposed amendment to the
Federal Reserve act would doubtless
work in with Mr.. Davison's plan. He
said that the national banks would
favor the suggested legislation because
1T would not tie up any great percent
age of their funds in unliquid assets.
1t is believed that the proposed
amendment to tht Reserve act would
release approximately S10O000,0O0 of
funds for financing foreign purchases.
At present national banks are limited
by law in their ownership of stock of
other enterprises.

The falling off in the loan total was

steady. There was further pressure
against the Scandinavian exchange.
The exchange market, like all the
