BANKING FURRY
|S0VER IN CUBA
Moratorium May Run Less Than
Fifty Days, Islands Finan-
ciers Believe.

HAVANA, Cuba, Oct. 13.-Proclama-
.tion of . moratorium for hfty days
seems to have cut short the financial
furry which occasioned considerable
alarm on Saturday. Issuance OF the
decree was favorably received by :.
public.
All banks. including the Interna-
tional Bank of Cuba. which suspended
payments on Saturday morning follow
ing q run on that Institution, opened
for business at the usual hour today.
A few banking houses did not take
advantage of the NOR atorium and con-
tinued business As under normal con-
ditions.
The opinion IL held in well-infor.ncd
quarters that there will be no neces-
sity for the moratorium TO run for the
full time provided for by the decree
isued by President Menocal.
J. Benitez Roriguez, special COM
missioner OF Cuba in New York. to
study trade conditions here and in
Europe. said yesterday that according
to his advices from the Cuban govern
ment it was expected that the situa-
tion would soon be normalixed. The
crisis, he said. was related to the
measures adopted in this country to
lower the cost of living.
"The wealth OF Cuba" said Senor
Benitez. "is today as great and solid
as ever. without going further. the
next crop of sugar, calculated at
1000, 900 tons, or 2S.0O0. 900 sacks, rep
resents at 10 cents a pound, $89b,
600, 900. and, given the normal figures
for imports from Cuba, 1t is certain
that the balance will be at least $3.50.
900 900 In her favor"
The high price for which sugar was
sold here recently Is attributed to
speculation by Senior Benites, the
growers receiving little benefit from
tho great increases. Cuba, he pointed
out. spent most of her money for
goods from this country. and In finance
was like part of the United States,
and he added that the republic had 4
right to expect help from the United
States in her difficult moments.

HELP ST0CKMEN TO
RAISE FINE HORSES
War Department Has Plans to
Improve Breed Of Riding
Mounts.

In order to improve the breed OF
horses Of America the War Depart
ment, during the next year, will place
at the disposal of farmers and stock
growers throughout the entire coun-
try the services Of some Of the finest
thofoughbreds now registered In the
American Stud Book, according to an
announcement recently by Adjt. Gen.
P. c. Harris.
The department not only will pro-
vide the services Of fine stations at q
purely nominal charge, but will es-
tablish breeding centers anywhere
throughout the United States where
interest Of stockgrowers and stock
conditions will warrant 1t. 1t even
will provide q market for the stock
80 raised.
TO INCREASE sTALLIONs.
The announcement OF the adjutant
general states that the department
in 1921 will triple the number OF
thoroughbred stations owned by the
army. There are now forty-five thor
oughbred stations and two Arab
stations at the army remount CEN
ters. These additions will come large
ly from gifts by thoroughbred breed
ers and horsemen, acceptance OF
which has been authorized by the Sec
retary of War. Money for prizes at
state and county fairs also has been
presented.
The only requirements necessary to
secure the location Of Government
breeding center in any locality is that
the district shall have sufficient
mares suitable for raising riding
horses adaptable for cavalry or ar
tillery mounts; that the stockmen in
dicate a desire to breed light horses,
and that there Is a general interest
Throughout the community.
The mares must be active, we'll
built and range between 1000 and
l.2b0 pounds In weight. Stud fees
charged will be the same as the local
fee usually charged for privately
owned stations. The offspring will
be the property of the owner OF the
mare and can be disposed of at any
time or manner that the owner sees
At. But in order to encourage breed
ing of this type of animal and estab-
lish a market in each breeding center
the Government will buy such Off
spring as are up to military require
ments when horses are needed for
army purposes.
BREED FINE TYPES.
AS a result Of the new plan"
said the adjutant general" the Gov
ernment expects to breed several fine
types OF horses which should have
rood markets. These are hunters
for civilian use, polo ponies, riding
horses, officers chargers, army horses
and ,ne farm horses"

owned By the 0overnnsnt to be unsd

tined by the compAny's dominant po-
sition In the bituminous coal trade

been advised that Union Pacific and
Americas Telephsae 4 TELEGRAPH
stocks are good investments. Please
give me your opinion thereof or
suggest other securities II you do
not believe these two are safe

Answer-We think Union Pacific
and American Telephone 4 Telegraph
are good stocks for you to buy " you
will not pay very much attention to
future quoted prices. Ten shares OF
each issue w1ll require an outlay OF

blue gingham, prettily made, to be
sure, but undeniably gingham. Her
bridal bouquet was of daisies. The
bridal outfit cost shade over 50. A
blue-checked gingham dress was
worn by her attendant, Miss Frances
Grodsky, of Hampstead, L. I. The
groom, his best man, j. A. Reinhardt.
brother of the bride, and the oficiat-

The reception following the wed,
ding was attended by guests attired
in overalls, denim and gingham

/
sure did you see,
The gang that hiked today;
Their overalls, their denim gown:
Their khaki and dungaree.
The strangest procession ever tc
smite wondering eye Of this city to:
day struggled through Broadway and
other streets of the Longacre Square
district.
Instead of gaudy paraphernalia
which usually makes parade thing
of triumph, this one moved soberly
in denim and dungaree. A patch was
the badge of honor and frayed ends
the insignia of rank. For this was
the great Economy Parade, arranged
as mass demonstration in the over
alls and old clothes drive on high
price of wearing apparel.
To Save Leather.
Failure to, march of the largest
portion of the tenthousand men, wo-
men and children who were expected
to take part in the procession of pro-
test was explained by member of
the cheese club, an organization of
writers responsible for the move
ment. He said that with the cost of
shoe leather what it is, the missing
ones did not feel they could afford
to contribute six or seven miles wear
out of their footgear.
Even with such being the case
those who made the pilgrimage re-
presented every type of group and
community about the city. College
and high school boys and girls walk
ed between companies of movie ac-
tresses and suffragists, artists, house
wives, business men and various
trades and industries were put to-
gether like layers of cake-very
thin layers-with volunteer bands
for the filling.
Doleful Looks.
Particularly noticeable. however,
was the fact that most of the public
which appeared to be protesting
against the high prices of clothing in
raiment of ancient vintage, stood
about the curb and looked doleful.
Whether disinclination of this con-
tingent to join in the march was due
to habitual depression caused by per-
manency Of their getup, no one could
say.
Perhaps it was something of the
same depression which prevented stu
dents from Columbia, New York and
Fordham Universities and city col
lege turning out in numbers. How
ever, nearly all high schools in New
York and Brooklyn were represent
ed. One group of boys marched in
barrels.
First in the line of march was a
delegation from the cheese club,
many of them garbed in denims
specially tailor made after latest
models in mems clothing.
Children of the Stage.
Municipal employees all wearing
overalls, were followed up by groups
of actresses and movie queens. Con-
spicuous in the line up was a limou-
sine full of atist's models. They ex-
pressed protest by wearing flesh
colored crepe, so cleverly designed
that from short distance is appear
ed to be non-existent.
One of the first in the procession
was w. H. Warren, eighty-year-old
veteran of the civil war. Once body
guard of General Grant, he marched
in this campaign with his grand army
hat, and pair of overalls on his
arm.
A pair of elephants, stars at the
hippodrome, added weight to the pro-
cession. They marched with stripes
of denim flung over their legs. Ac-
cording to Walter j. Kingsley, chair
man of the parade committee, no tai
lor could fit them.
