posits is contained i'm bill intro
duced by Representative McFadden.
republican. of Pennsylvania, to amend
section of the federal reserve act
by adding a new paragraph.
In explaining the necessity for this
amendment. Representative McFadden
said:
Section l. of the act, which pro-
vides that certain moneys may, upon
the direction of the Secretary of the
Treasury. be deposited in federal re-
serve banks. contains the proviso
that nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to deny the right of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to use member
banks as depostaries. This, infer
entially, would indicate the intention
of Congress that all state member
banks should be depositaries, but
counsel of the federal reserve board
has rendered an opinion that this pro
ViSo cannot be so interpreted and that
under existing law state bank mem
bers cannot be designated as deposi-
taries of public funds other than
postal savings funds"

AIR ROUTE
DELIVER PAPER

ALTOONA, Pa, Nov. 3. UNITED
Press. THE Pittsburgh Press recent
lv introduced a method of delivering
newspapers, new to the eastern sec
tlon of the United States, when it
instituted an airplane delivery be-
tween Pittsburgh and this city. The
success of this first venture has lied
the Press to consider adopting this
mode of transportation to several
other towns where it has large
number of subscribers.
The actual flying time for the
initial trip was one hour and IA MIN
utes. The fastest mail train takes
two hours and SIS minutes to come
here from Pittsburgh
The large difference in time was in
part due to the rail distance of near
ly 120 miles being shortened by the
machine soaring in a straight line
over the Allegheny mountains, while
the railroad is forced to circle the
steep grades.

SHORT OVER
$4,000 HOUSES

PHILADELPHIA Nov. 8. UNITED
Press. Municipal authorities here
were considering number of plans
to relieve the housing shortage which
is becoming aggravated by the un-
precedented influx of immigrants.
One plan would provide for construc-
tion of houses by the city, with
municipal supervision.
A canvass of the foreign sections
showed that in nearly all cases houses
built to roof on family were occupied
by two and sometimes three families.
This is detriment to the health and
welfare of the community, according
to DR.. Furbush of the Health depart
ment here.
Experts figure that Philadelphia is
short today 10000 six room houses.
Builders claim that due to the high
cost of materials and labor, more
than $4,000 900 would be required
to build the number of houses need
ed. $4,000 is the average cost to
construct six room house, accord
ing to contractors. During the first
nine months of 1920, only ITO per-
mits to build homes were issued, as
against 9503 for 1915, and 7758 for
1916.

ENGLAND'S "JILLS"
BUILDING HOUSES

LONDON, Nov 8. Omitted Press.)
-''This is the house that Jill built" !"
The Jills of England are competing
with the Jacks in many trades
hitherto monopolized by men and an
interesting adventure into the build
ing trade is now being made by a
firm styled women Builders" which
has its offices at Sc Victoria Street.
The women's pioneer in this move
ment is Mrs. Oliver Strackey, who
has just completed the building of
her own house at Haslemere. For
this house she was her own con-
tractor and employed almost ex-
cluslvely female labor, women ram
ming the walls, shovelling the earth
and distempering the rooms.
However, a mere man bricklayer
built the chimneys and a burly male
carpenter made the doors.
Mrs. Strachey is now busy build
ing another house and is increasing
her number of women workers. Many
ex-farmerettes and others have ap-
piled to her for employment in the
building trade. In the spring the
private Company which is being
formed with Mrs. Strachey at its
head launch out on a bigger scale
and undertake the building of houses
large and small, cottages, garages,
etc, for clients who can, if they wish,
supply their own plans.
On the first house she built, Mrs.
Strachey claims she saved at least

STORES TO CLOSE
CHRISTMAS DAY

Christmas comes this year on Sat
urday, and though it is the real bust
ness day of the week usually, the
stores Of Columbus will be closed in
observance of the Christmas spirit.
The impression had gone out in
some quarters that the stores would
remain open Saturday and close the
following Monday, but merchants
yesterday stated to a Dispatch report
err that they would rather observe
Christmas just as it comes, and there
fore all business will be suspended
Saturday.
The holiday trading is brisk and the
remaining three shopping days be-
fore Christmas win be busy ones.
The city is thronged with shoppers
from all over the Columbus territory.
They are coming in on trains and in
automobiles from every corner Of the
Columbus region.
The stores are open evenings this
week and much of the shopping from
now on until Friday might will be
done in the evening.
But shop early in the week and
early in the day is urged upon every
one.
