not true of the "Lasses' White aggregation

part is slow. There is a very noticeable
lack of that PIP and go which makes the
first part of a minstrel program the crf-
teriOn of Its J. crit The chorus work and
the solos failed to register because of the
scarcity of voices and harmony. The
dancing was nothing out of the ordinary
In fact there was nothing in the first
part but "Lasses" AMI he saved 1t.
The olio or ''recond part" which is usual
ly given over to vaudeville program pure
and simple Is quite another thing. Outside
the ACCORDION oloist and the quartette,
the vaudeville stunt is forgotten and two
well staged, well written and well pro-
duced skits are substituted. They have
all the pep the first part lacked and the
change made a hit. Restivo, as he calls
himself gets .ets of exercise, fun and real
music out of his ACCORDION. Simply lost
count of the number of encores the crowd
demanded Of him las night. The quar-

was about as much harmony as at the

SEE LOWER
BANK RATES
At HAND
BY W. L. ATKINS

tsTAFF CORRESPONDENT 7. \. SERVlcEl
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Financial
needs Of the producers are to be met
by lower bank rates The federal re-
serve board today took the position
that the after-war emergency in the
money market which justified high re-
discount rates at reserve banks. has
been safely passed. Obstacles in the
way Of needed credit by business ana
industry are to be removed by making
it possible to supply loans on easier
terms
Drops IN the re-dtscount rates Of the
federal reserve banks at Boston, New
York and Atlanta today was said 10 be
the forerunner of similar reductions
to apply to the big crop raising belts.
The federal reserve banks of MN
neapolis, Chicago and Dallas, banking
centers Of the great grain and live
stock producing sections, today were
the only reserve banks maintaining a
re-discount rate Of per cent, These
banks, through their directorates now
are considering proposals to reduce
the rates below this level and cor
responding more evenly with the cuts
made by other reserve banks. The re-
serve banks must originate applica-
tlons for rate drops which later may
be approved by the federal reserve
board.
Gov Harding OF the reserve board
today would not indicate how early
the big crop belts may be given the
benefit Of the rate reductions. 1t was
expected however that the Chicago
reserve bank probably will BE the next
70 follow the lead Of the east and
south in re-discount rate drops There
has been discussion also OF a possible
change in the rates in the reserve
bank districts of Kansas city and st
Louis centers OF big crop money de-
mands These reserve banks now
maintain rates Of six per cent.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
believes the reductions which are an
ticipated in the middle western bank
territory. If made at all must be made
prior to the crop moving season. His
declaration that a general relaxation
IN the money rate. not only in tho fed
eral rediscoUnt rate but in CONNER
ctal rates as well. can be logically an
ticipated. aptly forecasts early action.

Mays had been planning to move to
Sturgis, Mich. May 10. but he VIII re-
main n West Hammond until the
present case is settled. lie is confident
that Il viii turn out the same as two
former cases in which he has been con
oerued. He was discharged on both
occasions because the evidence did not
bear out the charges in the affidavit
His manager furnished bond at once
when he was arrested YESTERDAY
Because Of the hght which has been
conducted against him by the medical
fraternity Mays always keeps one or
more persons IN the same room with
him while he Is treating patients. He
does this SO that he can have Wit
nesses in case charges are made that
he is practicing medicine without a liz
cense. His method or treatment IS
merely to place his hands over affected
parts of the patients body and re
frain from any rubbing or manipula
tion.
In the few months the miracle
man has been in West Hammond
many of his patients have reported re
markable cures. Scores OF men have
been treated for the tobacco habit and
in only few instances have failures
been known.
