RESERVE BOARD
HEADHITS BACK
Harding Sends Letter in Reply
to Williams Effort to
Discredit.
Special 20 Indiana Daily Times
and Philadelphia Public Ledger.

and Philadelphia Public Ledger.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Eforts OF
John Shelton Williams, formerly Comp
troIler of the Currency, to discredit the
Federal Reserve Board by calling atten-
ton to the high salaries paid officers of
Federal reserve banks, particularly in
New York, are being combatted vigOr-
ousIy by W. P. G. Harding, governor of
the Reserve Board. Increases made since
the advent of the Republican Admins
tration had been Mr.. Williams target
and his speeches and statements scoring
the increases were read into the record
of the joint commission of agricultural
inquiry.
Governor Harding's answer, made in
the form of a letter to Representative
Sydney Anderson, chairman of the COM
mittee, states the increase in the salary
of Governor String of the New York
Reserve Bank from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually was approved in 1913, when VIII
liam G. McAdoo was Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr.. Harding also calls atten-
ton to what he calls thes 'absurdity"
of Mr.. Williams attempt to measure the
salaries of officials Of Federal Reserve
banks by the salaries of the United
States Senators and points to the action
of Mr.. Williams, himself, when Comp
trOller, in approving salaries for national
bank examiners far in excess of the sala-
ries of Senators. There is no attempt
on the part of Mr.. Harding TO criticise
the high salaries paid; in fact he ap-
proves them, but he plainly intimates
that Mr.. Williams statements cannot be
regarded as more than an effort to make
political capital of the recent increases
in New York--Copyright, 1921, by Public
Ledger Company.

A T GREENBURY POINT. near I1 Annapolis. Maryland. Is located the great, high-power radio station, owned and operated by Uncle Sam.
 Built as war measure for the in- surance of uninterrupted communica- tion with our army in France, in the event that for any reason the cables were put out of commission, as well as to provide added facilities for keep movements of vessels at sea, 1t has successfully bridged the seas of the world and made good"
 Four gigantic. steel towers 600 feet high set $50 feet apart and in the form of a square, support the massive web of representative wires from which outgoing electric waves "hop orr into space and to which the h. coming waves from afar are attracted
 The energy hy which the station Is operated Is obtained from a nearby power plant-a suitable operating building, power-transformer house, quarters for the maintaining and op- erating forces, store house Tor repair materials and other necessary equip ment having been erected at an ad- vantageOus and adjacent location.
 The farreaching importance of this mlracle-like station which performs the seemingly impossible comes home to one when he understands that 1t succe" sfully handles radio traffic direct with France, Italy, Germany Norway. other radio stations in this country and its outlying possessions and all U. s.

If will be noted, the official po'hfs ont that tn ewarmest three periods are those ending in 1900. 1910, and l92e on dtbat the coldest decade immedl- ,telv follows the second warmest.
 Considering the individual months and the individual years, 1t IS foilhd that the coldest January occurred as ,e te as 1857. The coldest February oc- cured eight years after the warmese ono The coldest March was as late as 1870 and again in 1885. The coldest April was in 1874, and many years al ter the warmest one. The lowest tenn nerature in May was in 1872, 1slo, 1870, and 1882 The highest figures in June are in 1779, 1790. 1903, ana 1876.
