FEDERAL RESERVE
PROBE ADVOCATED
Congressman King Sponsors
Inquiry of Charges Rejecting
Upon Its Administration.

An investigation of the administra-
tior of the Federal Reserve law by
the Federal Reserve Board, to be con-
Quoted by a special committee of the
House. was urged today by Congress
man King, of Illinois, and delega-
ton representing the National and
state Bankers Association before the
House Rules Committee.
This investigation was asked some
weeks ago by King in a resolution
presented to the House. King charges
the Federal Reserve Board with per-
mitting the initiation of currency, the
lending of money to spectators and
others. through whom the high cost
Of living has been maintained; dis
elimination against State banks not
members OF the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN. allowing burdcnsome charges to
be imposed on State banks for the
handling of checks by Federal banks,
and other violations OF the spirit, II
not the letter, of the Federal Reserve
Act.
He was backed up in his complaints
against the Federal Reserve Board
by ID. 3. Claiborne, of New Orleans
president, and l.. r. Adams, OF At
lanta, secretary of the National and
state Bankers Association. They cited
alleged instances of unfair treatment
OF state banks not members of the
Federal Reserve system by the Fed
eral Reserve Board. especially in the
matter of imposition OF heavy charges
by Federal banks for collections
made on checks drawn on such State
banks.
King and the delegation from the
National and State Bankers Assocfa-
tion were heard by the House Bank
ing and Currency Committee on their
recommendations that amendments be
made to the Federal Reserve Act for
the protection of the State banks not
members of the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN. Chairman Pratt, OF the Bank
ing and Currency Committee. indi-
Gated that he was not in sympathy
with the recommendations made, and
that he did not agree with King in
his charges against the Federal Re-
serve Board.

HOUSES FRANK AGENCY
Growth of Modern Advertising
Makes Larger Structure Neces-
sary For Old Firm.

NEW YORK, May A remarkable
illustration of the growth of the mod
ern advertising agency and its rec
opnition as a necessary energizer or
business, is the fact that Albert Frank
a. CO., advertising agents, has been
compelled to erect it's own x-story
building to handle the work of its
clients.
The building, which is at II Stone
street, directly opposite the entrance
to the Produce Exchange, is an adap-
ration OF the French renaissance.
Within IL is laid out with view to
the needs Of a modern publicity
agency in a manner that invites in
spection and imitation.
The lower floors are given over to
the accounting, checking, and general
business offices: the third floor to the
executive offices and conference
rooms. while the upper floors are oc-
cupied by the service and art depart
ments.
Albert Frank e. Co is one OF the
largest and also the second oldest
advertising agency. While in its early
years il served almost exclusively
financial and banking companies. and
steamship lines. in the recent years
Il has expanded it's field to include
all the functions OF n modern agency
the study and development Of NOR
cbandising ideas and the application
of the forces of advertising to all
phases of commercial activity. This
expansion has taken place also IN
their Chicago and London offices. And
in Chicago the increased business has
made Il necessary for them to more
than double their floor space.

USE CANNON MADE OF WOuE
People of at Least Three Countries
Employ That Material and Have
Found 1t Satisfactory.

Anyone familiar with modern weafr
ons of war and the high explosives
used in them would naturally sup
pose a wooden cannon of little use.
Wooden cannon have been used with
considerable success in Cuba, Haiti
and the Dominican Republic.
The wood used is very tough. hav'
ing a twisted grain that curls about
the log in such a way that to split the
timber with the ordinary means is al
most impossible.
The best trees are selected and a
piece of the log five or six feet in
length and one foot in diameter is cut.
After the bark has been removed
and the log made perfectly round. it
is swung up on a crude truss ana a
hole is burned into it from one end.
The log is wound with fresh rawhide,
which shrinkS and hardens. When the
cannon is covered another layer Is
wound on after certain treatment. and
this is continued until the weapon has
increased several inches in diameter.
Then the weapon IS treated to not
blast, which tends fur her to contract
the hide binding until it become, al
most as strong as wire These crude
cannon have been employed in num-
Der of instances, and it is astonishing,
so it is said. how many times they
can ha fred before they burst or are
otherwise disabled.
