which includes, among other
things the question whether
or not 1900 women can live together in
perfect harmony. So far the answer Is
in the affirmative, although in the be-
ginning there was just little doubt as
to the complete success of the expert
ment. However, rs this rift in the
lutte was due to the fact that a mere
man was made general manager OF the
plan, and as this same individual mas
since been thrown out. bag and bag
gage, there now seems small danger
that things will not work out just as
they were intended to.
The subject of Uncle Sans unique
experiment is his war workers, and the
plan is the somewhat belated solution
Of housing them, problem which the
end of hostilities has not eliminated
by any means. For warwork is not
yet done, and war workers in Wash
ington are still too numerous for ade-
quate handling by Washington's pri-
vate housing facilities As matter
of fact, war workers come and go just
as in the days of the war, and each
week the statistics show an increase.
For every 1000 war workers that leave,
1900 seem to come to take their places
and to further augment the govern
ment payroll.
This is said to be the first time an
attempt has been made to house SO
many women together in a dormitory
system. Men have lived in barracks

LOAN QUOTA NOT
TO BE CHANGED
BY STAMP SALES
Director of War Savings Alters
Original Plan of Hing
ing Two Securities

Victory Liberty Loan quotas will not
be affected by Thrift Stamp sales as
planned by the Treasury Department
the first OF the year. 1t was announced
last January by Lewis B. Franklin,
director of war savings, that wherever
Thrift Stamp quotas were exceeded
the amount of oversubscription would
be taken from the coming loan quota
and that if the Thrift Stamp quotas
were not reached the deficiency would
be added to the loan quota.
Governor James X. Lynch of the
Federal Reserve Bank has just
received a telegram from Washington
advising that the plan to adjust Vic.
tory Loan quotas in accordance with
the sale of War Savings Stamps has
been abandoned. The reason given
was that some of the Federal Reserve
Districts were not reapportioning
Thrift Stamp quotas.

FREE BANKS
IS Way BACK
TO NORMAL
BY Carl PIehn, Professor of Finance
University Of California

Of course the war upset business.
1t increased some lines such as war
munitions but decreased common,
everyday peace lines The only pos
sible way back to norma, Is TO build
up common business
To get back to normal means that
we have to get capital back into those
lines OF business which have fallen
behind. If an individual has met a
great loss the only way he can make
himself whole again is by saving, by
strict economy. A country is only a
lot of individuals. We have, collec-
lively, to meet the cost of the war,
an economic loss, although a moral
gain We can meet 1t only by saw.

The government is coming to US
next month with the Victory Liberty
Loan-the last of the Liberty Loans.
There are sound financial and eco
nomic reasons why the Victory Loan
should be brought again to the peo-
pie. The government could make us
save by heavy taxes right now, but it
prefers the less harsh and wiser
course of borrowing our savings now
and taxing on the installment plan, a
little each year.

Another Fine Restaurant Closes

Following the bankruptcy of Del
monico's last October, Sherry's, juat
across Fifth avenue, closed it's doors
Saturday night without ceremony,
transferring its engagements and its
working staff to the Waldorf.
War and prohibition between them
are cutting a wide swath in the customs
of fashionable New York. The bauk-
ruptey of De1m onico's, which is being
kept open by the receiver, was the re-
suit of the forced economies of war
time. Sherry's has not failed, but
Louis Sherry says that he cannot con-
duet a high class restaurant without
the profits coming from the service of
wines. So the building will be con-
verted into a home for one of the big
banking companies, the guests will he
scattered among the large hotels which
have sprung up in that neighborhood,
and Sherry himself will open a con
fectionery and pastry shop a dozen
blocks farther north on the venue.
Sherry's was established some twen-
ty years ago when fashionable New
York had outgrown Delmonico's, and
the two restaurants have fiourished as
rivals down to the war period, which
affected them both disastrously. But
during the period of their common
prosperity half a dozen hotels have
been built which share the larger pub
lie dinners and social functions among
them. For that reason the closing of
Sherry's will not be felt as it would
have been some years back. The 60
cial customs of the city will be trans
formed by the incoming of prohibition.
Whether that will compel the closing
of Delmonico's by the receiver and its
effect upont the larger hotels which now
house public assemblies remain to be
seen. Next year, however, will see q
grayer New York instead Of the gayer
town which might normally have been
predicted In the wake Of peace, and the
effect upon its dining customs must
seriously affect its bookkeeping and
its catering. -Br00kiyn Eagle.
