COMBINE AIT WITH "M0VlES"
How City Of Toledo, O., Attracts
Children 10 Its Museum, for
Educational Purposes.

In order to attract the children OF
Toledo to that city's museum Of art
the museum management offers its lit.
tie visitors "story hours gallery
talks, music hours, classes In pure and
applied design and the educational
motion picture. Interest in visits to
the museum was first stimulated
through the medium Of an organized
bird club. Thousands Of children
have also been brought to the
museum during the last four years
by means of the annual vegetable and
flower shows in which the children
have participated.
"The Toledo museum was the first
to include motion pictures In its edu-
cational plan when, in the autumn OF
1915, the necessary equipment was
presented through the efforts of H. Y.
Barnes, then assistant to the di'
rector" writes Eula Lee Anderson OF
Toledo. "This proved not only a fur
ther magnet to attract boys and girls
to the museum but further means
Of teaching art. During the first few
years films dealing with travel, crafts
and art were difficult to secure, yet by
diligent search many fine things were
made available, including the life OF
Palissy, the famous potter, and a
beautiful hand-colored film showing
the making Of silk.
"The policy Of the museum is not
to amuse by means Of the film, but
to educate the child along artistic
lines, using only such productions as
are of distinctly cultural quality"

Santa Fe province Of the Argentine
now has complete faith in the biblical
account of the scourge Of locusts, for
at times millions of these insects
"cover the face Of the EARTH" They
come suddenly and without warning,
In great clouds, and settle down on
the country. Then the ground resem-
bles a great moving carpet. Little
damage Is done at first, though the
Argentinians find it inconvenient to
have locusts throughout their houses,
but as the insects move through the
country, they dig small holes and lay
their eggs. Soon the larvae are
Matched, and at that time, before they
can fly, they are destructive. BY the
time they are ready to leave, every
living thing in their path Is destroyed.
Eventually they fly away to parts un-
known, and the farmers have 70 start
their crops over again. Squads Of To-
Gust destroyers, like fire-fghting units,
are maintained by the government to
combat the pest, and ranchers are also
responsible for fighting them. Their
efforts are almost unavaillng, how
ever, because Of the myriads Of the
insects.

PRESENT APPEAL
FOR BRANCH BANK

Richmond, Va, Feb. ia dele.
cation from the Piedmont section OF
the two Carolinas met today with
officers and directors of federal re.
serve board of Richmond, urging
that favorable action be taken on q
petition filed last November request
ing that a branch bank of that sys.
tenn be established at some undesig.
mated place in one of the two states,
The visitors were Informed that the
enactment of a law in North Caro-
lima which was designed to put a
crimp in the par clearance system
of the reserve board presented an
insurmountable obstacle in the way
of establishing the proposed branch
institution. AS to whether the pro-
ject might be put over if such a
law was repealed, Governor Seay of
the reserve board, who acted as
spokesman for the directors and
other officers, was not prepared to
say.
In pressing their case, the delega-
tion stressed the fact that 78 out of
SO member banks in South Carolina
had signed the petition and that a
large majority of the member banks
in the Piedmont section of North
Carolina had done so. Before leav-
ing for home tonight some of the
delegation indicated that they
would continue to press their case
until they won, whatever reverses
they might encounter in the mean
time. They talked as if they would
bring a much larger contingent with
them next time. There were only
nine in the party, today.

SMOKE HOUSES

Corn Cribs in South Worth While
Speech Of Harding

Richmond, Va, Feb. 12.-South-
ern farmers must pay more atten-
ton to corn cribs and smoke houses
and reduce overproduction of cotton
and tobocco this year, Gov. w. P. G.
Harding of the federal reserve
board, speaking before probably the
largest and most brilliant financial
: gathering which has met in Rich
mond in years, declared in an ad-
dress tonight the Commonwealth
club, which fairly radiated optimism
as to the future.
Governor Harding, who is here as
the guest of John Shelton Williams,
comptroller of the currency, told a
gathering which represented every
financial institution in the city and
included with two exceptions, the
federal reserve board, that the peak
of imitation was past and that there
was no reason to look to the future
with any other view than optimism.
81 have great faith in the Amer
lean people when they assert them
Selves" Governor Harding declared,
after telling his audience that the
mental intoxication which the pub
lie has been suffering is wearing off.
Price fluctuations must be stabi-
lized, declared the speaker, and this
is one of the many PROBLEMS which
still face the bankers of the coun-
try.
He told the bankers that each
should make up his mind that it was
his individual business help bring
conditions back to normal. He ad-
vsed all to pull together and restore
the equilibrium of the country.
At present 'buyers' market
exists, Governor Harding told his
audience, the reverse Of what has
existed in the past few months. He
told the bankers what the policy of
the federal reserve has been and
took issue with those who have criti-
cised the recent deflations of cur
rency.

ECONOMIC STATUS
OF GREECE is BAD
Financial Situation Described as
Desperate-FoodG Grows Scarce

Athens, Feb. 12.-Economic con-
ditons in Greece are becoming serl-
Gus. The expectation of tobacco and
other products is at a standstill, the
army in Smyrna is costing 3,OOO,-
900 drachmas per day and treasury
receipts ae dwindlng daily. Tae new
Greek premier has informed Edward
Capps, American minister 20
Greece, that the financial situation
is "desperate," and has declared
that only action by the United
States in advancing some $33,Oo9,-
100000 on credits created in 1918
can bring relief.
Importations at the present time
are more than three times as grea:
as expectations and hundreds of
thousands of tons of shipping are
idle. 1t is recognized that an inter-
nal or private loan is impossible and
the government faces the necessity
of increasing it's floating debt by is
suing more bank notes, but it hesi-
tates to do so without receiving per-
mission from the international fl
nancial commission.
Food prices are mounting in pro-
portion to the decline Of the ex-
change rate on the drachma which
at present stands at Is to the dollar.
It is almost impossible for the gov
ernment to issue bread tickets. In
addition, labor troubles appear
threatening. The strike of electri-
clans, which was called this week,
may become general unless the
mems demands for wage. increases
are granted.
Naval engineers have occupied
the electric power station as a re-
suit of the electricians strike, but
the current was suddenly cut off at
seven o'clock last evening. The city
was plunged into darkness and par
liament was forced to adjourn its
sitting. A meeting of the labor party
wa6 dispersed by troopers.

TONS OF DYESTUFFS ARE
DUMPED INTO ENGLAND

London, Jan. 12.-Many thou.
sands Of tons of German dyestuffs
were poured into the United King
DOM in anticipation of the coming
into force on January 18th of the
dyestuffs act, which placed an en-
barge upon the importation of for
eign dyes, except under a strict Ii.
censing system. This German dump.
ing will now be stopped.
The embargo does not apply in
the case of dyes entering this coun-
try for re-expottation or in transit.
The importation Of single consign-
ments may be, authorized by the
board of trade, which issues a spec
ial license for this purpose, in each
case subject to the approval of a
committee of II, consisting of three
dyestuffs manufacturers, five con-
sumers and three persons not con-
nected with the dye industry.
Shipments of German dyes under
the reparations act will not be af-
fected by the new law, and the pre-
scribed deliveries will continue to
be made for distribution to the
trade here.
The productive capacity of British
dye manufacturers already exceeds
$4,000 tons year, as compared
with only 1000 tons IN 1918.
During the next decade British
chemists will be put on their mettle
to secure for Great Britain a COM
plete independence from foreign
producers, for the life Of the pres
ent act is limited to ten years.

HIMPLES and blackheads (acne) and bo1s Hare often the signals of falling off in health. U "A bad acne may indicate profound debil- ity" writes physician connected with number of leading New York hospitals, and the repeated occurrence of boils should always be looked upon as an indication of lowered vitality"
 It has been found from actual clinical tests that remarkable results are obtained in treating these complaints with F1eischmarn's Yeast.
 Today Fleischmanns Yeast is everywhere recognized as a valuable 'condihoner" 1t IS fresh food which supplies in rich quantities the newly discovered vitamine known to be lacking from many of our foods. It thus corrects lowered vitality which is so often the underlying cause of these minor ailments.
 To protect themselves against these complaints many are making Fleischmann's Yeast part of
