Do Not Want to be Tied Down to a
Specific Policy in Making
Private Loans
Proposed Policy at Washington Would Tie Up
Business and In ure Trade all
Over the Country

There is no feeling of approval
among Chicago bankers of the an
nouncement from Washington, D. c.,
of "a new policy by the government
by which the banking power of the
nation may be employed primarily to
sustain private industries in the sale
and distribution of their products rath-
er than financing products from abroad
in already jammed American mar
kets.' This policy" it was said, lis
now before the administration"
1T is not at all plain to me through
what means the governments would
seek to control the loans of banks or
say just how they should me made
said Edmund D. Hubert, president of
the Merchants Loan and Trust Co. and
of the Merchants Loan-Illinois Trust
bankings group.
Banks are guided by the needs of
their patrons, conditional on the Sc
curity offered by the clients.
Suppose a man who was importing
some products and who had been a
customer of this bank for say twenty
years should come to US for a loan.
which his assets and his deposits full
ly warranted.
Would it be proper, think you, for
me TO say to him, that he was dam
aging the trade of the country by i'm
porting the goods lie proposed to bring
in and that he could not have the loan
for that reason?
Hence it is not plain to me just
how the government can or could take
any action that would tie down the
banks to a specific policy in the matter
of loans to their customers"

Alderman John Horne Of the Thir-

ports of many signs blowing off build
ings, that he plans to ask the council
building committee to order every sign
off every building in Chicago. "The
present ordinance provides there must
be spaces or perforations for the wind
to blow through so the signs will not
be blown off the roofs,' he said. "But
most of the signs now up violate the
law and they should all come down

TRACTION COMPANIES
FIGHT BUSES

Traction companies launched a fight
before the public utilities commission
against a spring crop of transpOrta-
tion busses that have blossomed forth
in outlying districts of Chicago.
Two cases involving this issue were
among the first scheduled for hearing
when Col Frank L. Smith of Dwight,
ILL.,, formally assumed his duties yes
terday as chairman of the public utili-
ties commission. The bus lines have
been operating without the certificates
of convenience required by the COM

SCHOOL NURSE
 WORK PLANNED
Berlin One Of Few Towns Left
 Without Protector
OFFERS DOG FOR FINE
Many Cases Heard Before Judge GrisWold in COurt-Church Notes Berlin Items of Interest.

During the past two years about As of the 93 smaller towns in this state have employed school nurses There are quite a few more which are pannin gto employ such nurses as soon as arrangements can be com pleted. Berlin is one of the few. The growth has evidently been due to the value the nurses have rendered in the small communities.
 One of the first activities to engage the attention of the nurse is a physi cal examination of all of the children. This includes an examination of the skin, hair, eyes, mouth, nose, throat teeth, lungs and heart. Defects which are discovered are referred to the parents with the suggestion that the family physician be consulted in the matter. Where the condition war rants it is so planned that the nurse visits the parents who do not take aC ton, calling their attention to the situation. Where the parent wishes it, the nurse will accompany the chil- dren to the physician who gives the treatment. When the parents are | willing, but too poor to have the de- fleets corrected, the nurse is often times able to secure free aid. It has been demonstrated that where examination for defects is
 made but without follow up, less than 30 per cent of the cases are corrected. With the parental visitation by nurses the number of cases treated ranges from 75 to 96 per cent of the total number.
 Daily Examination. In addition to the work which has been outlined, growing out of the periodic examinations of the children, the nurse will be available for daily examination of the children at schools where there are epidemics of chil- dren's diseases.
 This makes it possible to have
 school in session and the children under close watch so that all cases may be detailed before they become dangerous, and the others are ex- posed.
 Nurses Cooperate The nurses in the smaller town also cooperate with the teachers in hy- giene instruction. Where the children are undernourished, talks concerning wholesome and desirable foods are given, Much can be done through classroom instruction. If this fails
 there comes a follow up in the homes with the result that great good is often accomplished.

ALL COMEDY PROGRAM
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

A rollicking farce-comedy, featur- in Louis Bennison, is billed tonight at the Empress. You all know the smiling cowboy, and have seen him in all kinds of adventures, merry and dramatic.
 It remains to see him as an English early. But wait minute. He's a cowboy still, born and brought up on the plains, and ignorant of his high estate until he reaches manhood. And then he carries the breath of western plains into the old English castle, much to the confusion and horror of his titled cousins.
 "A Misfit Earl" is showing tonight only at the Empress, and you cant afford to miss it. Also a two-reel comedy Loose Lions and Fast Lovers"

MAKES BEST EFFORT
 STOP PLAGUE

NEW YORK, April 23 (by Associ, ated Press) .-iBubonic plague, which some months ago appeared in north ern Manchuria, has crept southward until it now threatens the main grain supply of China, according to a let ter received by c. D. Gold, of the Young Mems Christian Association, from Harbin. Manchuria, where MT. Gold was stationed during the latter part of the war. Unless the plague can be checked, MT. Gold asserts, the granary relied upon for the relief of millions of famine victims in North China will be cut off
 "The situation Is rendered more serious" said MT. Gold today, "by the fact that Manchuria is literally crowd ed with foreign exiles. There are not fewer than 600,000 Russians, who fled before the Bolshevik execution CTS, 250,000 Koreans, and thousands of Chinese who formerly lived in Si- beria, but who have been driven into Manchuria by the red armies.
 "Concerted efforts are being made in cities and towns along the Chinese Eastern Railway to combat the plague, hospitals being established, and the victims isolated Efforts also are under way to fight the source of the disease-the rats that carry the germ. Thousands of persons already have died, and been given nasty burial. Strict regulations have been put in effect to prevent affected per sons getting beyond Harbin, and of ficials at Mukden, the next big center to the south, are on the watch for the first appearance of the plague.
 "If the grain supply of Manchuria is cut off, the famine victims in Shantung, Chihli, Honan Shensi and Shansi will be doomed Manchuria representative of the American Red Cross, the Chinese Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A. have informed the Picking authorities of the danger and urged that grain buying and ship ments be hastened.

RAILROAD IS
 CLOSED TIGHT
 BY SNOWSLIDE

Railway and telephone communica- tion was suddenly cut off between Seward and Anchorage about ten days ago which left the people of Seward in the dark as to the cause until last Sunday morning when word was received of the big slide at Mile 42, says the Gateway.
 The regular train, which left here on Friday for Anchorage was stalled by slides and backed up on the trestle at Mile 42 just above Bartlett glacier to be out of harms way and avoid slides further ahead. After several hours wait a slide was ob- served to be starting above the bridge and the crew of the engine, caboose and rotary had no sooner sought safety when the slide struck, taking 280 feet of the trestle, two engines, two cabooses and the rotary, and car rying them down to the foot of Bart lett glacier. The passenger coaches were not hit and no one, either pas |sengers or crew was hurt, which was considered an act of Providence as the passenger coaches were almost in in a direct line with the slide.
 The engineer in charge immediate ly put a gang of men to work on the grade clearing off the slide but after several days work the futility of trying to clear the tracks was seen and the work was stopped until the bridge is rebuilt By that time, it is thought, the weather will have moderated enough to melt the snow piled high upon the right of way.
 This will result in tie-up of the line for some time and all business will be routed by boat until the line is again open to traffic.
