Western Money Market Easier

Advices received from the various
Federal Reserve districts west of the
mississippi River indicate the continued
absorption of good securities, stability
OF the stock market, partial adjustment
OF wage disputes and the accordance of
the disarmament program at Washing
ton by leading nations Of the world are
recognized as influential factors indl-
rectly proving beneficial to the money
situation In the West.
1t would not be surprising should
some further reduction be made In the
discount rates at the Federal Reserve
bnnks In he near future, In considcra-
tion OF the Increase in the reserve
ratio. 1t is recognized that improvement.
although gradual, Is taking place In con.
ditions generally and that the solution
OF the worlds problems depends largely
upon the soundnGss of the money mar.

ties the continuance of the law, unless
they exercise their option to change It."
A. literal carrying out Of the party
pledge would mean the amendment Of
the law so as to permit such communi-
ties as desired to continue on standard
time, or sun time as it is sometimes
known, during the seven months of
daylight savings. This would enable
township authorities embracing agri-
cultural communities to adopt the
standard time for these localities.
Farmers Position Explained
But this is not satisfactory to the
farmers, who want the process re-
versed in the event that they cannot
get repeal of the law. Their spokes-
man here, Assemblyman Belts, said to
the Tribune correspondent tonight:
"lf we are willing to empower the
cities to enact local daylight saving
ordinances it is unfair on the part of
the cities to demand that the farmers
who do not want it, should have day
light savings imposed upon, them"
The Republican Legislative leaders,
who themselves represent agricultural
communitie s, with the exception of Ma
jority Leader Simon L. Adler of the
Assembly, who has const tuency in
Rochester, are in a quandary. They
have called q conferenre of the leaders
of both sides in she controversy to
meet here Tuesday, at which an at
tempt will be made to iron things out
before the bills come before the two
houses for action.

Happy Jack Changes His Mind
BY Thornton W. Burgess

No ona should ever stickle
Happy Jack Squirrel
by Thornton w. Burgess

Peter Rabbit turned his head to hide
grin as Happy Jack the Gray SOUR,
rel started to climb the big hollow
tree in which Bobby Coon had made
his home for a long time. Peter didn't
want Happy Jack to see that grin. You
see, Peter was making use of Happy
JACK to find out something he couldn't
hnd out for himself, but he knew that
II Happy Jack suspected anything OF
the kind he would refuse to 20 on.
Peter wanted to know if Bobby Coon
vas still asleep in that hollow tree
II was just curiosity, plain curiosity
1t really was no business of Peters
whether Bobby Coon was in there
asleep or not. But he wanted to know
and ne couldn't climb that tree to
find out, so he had artfully suggested
to Happy Jack, without really saying
30, that there was some doubt if Bobby
Coon would ever again poke his head
out of that doorway high up in the
tree. He even suggested that Bobby
Coon might not be in that house at
all. Happy Jack had declared that
he would go up and see.
SO It was that as Happy Jack climbed
the tree Peter Rabbit grinned and
thought himself very smart AS you
know, Happy Jack Squirrel is q splen-
did climber and in almost no time at
ali ne was half way up that tree. Then
he stopped anC began to jerk his big,
broad tail, a way he has when he Is
excited or nervous or thinking. Peter
waited for him to go on. But Happy
Jack didn't go on. That Is, he didn't
90 on up TO that hole which was the
entrance to Bobby Coon's house. He
went partly around the trunk of the
tree and up TO a branch On this he
seated himself with his back to the
trunk.
Whats the mseter?' demanded Peter
Rabbit
:, Nothing Is the matter" replied
''Then why don't you 20 on and find
out If Bobby Coon Is in there ?" cried
Peter Rabbit.
Because I've changed my mind" re
piled Happy Jack
What for?" demanded Peter.
Because it's none of my bushes
and none of your business, whether
net Bobby Coon Is In there asleep.
retorted Happy Jack
"You mean you've got cold feet"
5sered Peter.
"What do you mean by cold feet?"
demanded Happy Jack sharply.
II mean you are afraid to go in there.
You're Sraidy, that's what you arel"

AU OUATRlEME

Among the interesting
documents that have come
to us from the Palazzo Car
'minati, now on exhibition
and sale Au Quatrieme, are
two very interesting 18th
Century decorative paint
ings.
They are long, narrow can
vases showing the meeting of a
Venetian noble with the Sultan
in Constantinople.
Both the paintings are done
in a very low key and, though
dimmed by time, they still have
an atmosphere Of gorgeousness
and rich color that is really as
tonishing.
There are great professions
of men and horses and whippet
dogs held on leashes, and armed
warriors, tents Of gold and flow
ing banners.
There is a strange interweav-
ing of human figures and ami
mails that gives a remarkable
feeling Of movement.
The colors are mostly dark
brown and reds.
Height 3 #. 4 inches.
