LITTLE WORK DONE BY
 FEDERAL POWER COMMISSION

Washington, July f6.-tSpecial.) )-- The federal power commi ssion,t dur ing the first year of it's existence. completed very little work. Respon- sibility lies, according to O. c. Mer- Till, secretary of the commission, m the fact that Congress failed to fur sh the commission with the experts and clerical force necessary.
 In statement for this newspaper, Mir. Merrill said today: Up to June 30, 1921, there had been filed with the commission. 229 applications az gregating 14,675 900 horsepower, and affecting 33 states, the District oe Columbia and Alaska. This amount is 75 per cent greater than the ea- tire waterpower developed in the United StatAs today. It is 50 per cent greater than the combined water power resources of Norway and Swe- den, and considerably in excess Of the resources of Italy.
 Tt is five times greater than the aggregate of all applications filed with the federal government in the preceding Is years. The subjects ap- piled for vary in size from less than 100 horsepower up to the S,ooo,ooo horsepower scheme of the southern California Edison company on Coio- rado river"
 Only a very few of the applications have been finally acted upon Even tually all of them will, and under certain, circumstances, all of them will be granted There is no ques- ton in the minds of best informed Washington observers that in the near future. the waterpower era Tn the United States will have it's pe- ginning.

HARDING ANSWERS PLUMBERS ATTACK IN COURTEOUS WAY
Says Each Bank Conducts It's Own Business of Lend ing, DiScounting and
 Rediscounting Loans
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age-Herald
 BOO Davidson Building

Washington, July (Special)--A letter addressed by W. P. G. Harding, governor of the federal reserve board, to Representative H. P. Full mer of South Carolina, contains an indirect though very courteous, an swer to many of the charges which in vigorous manner have been hurled against Mir. Harding and the board by members of Congress.
 Governor Harding reminds MT. Full mer of the fact (which many mem- bers of Congress had apparently for gotten) that the federal reserve board has nothing to do with lending money. and that each federal reserve bank conducts its own business of lending. discounting, and rediscounting unin- fluenced save only by the general supervision of the federal reserve board
 As to the suggestion made to Gov ernor Harding by MT. Fulmer, which had the form of the J. s. Wanna maker scheme, previously outlined m a Washington dispatch to The Age Herald, that a loan of 00,0OO,000 be authorized upon paper security oy warehouse receipts at 80 per cent of the value or the lnSuIe0 Cottoh' Governor Harding stated that already such loans have been authorized, and rediscounting is and has been under way for some time.
 Governor Harding, in conclusion. declared it to be the duty of member banks to give consideration to all applications for rediscount of eligible agricultural paper.
 MT. Harding's letter follows;
 Harding's Letter
 T acknowledge receipt of your let ter in which you suggest as a means of relieving the present distressing situation in the south, the authoriza- ton of a loan of $100,000,00o through the federal reserve banks to the banks of the cotton states, upon GUS toner's paper secured by warehouse receipts for cotton properly insured at, say 80 per cent of it's market value, or upon cotton manufacturers acceptances of drafts against shlp- ments of cotton for consumption m their mills, the paper to run from 5u to 90 days, renewable during l92i or until the markets are opened. You suggest further that there shoulu be a distinct understanding that these discounts will not have any bearing unon the ordinary accommodations by

ON THE USE or LEGS

From LeslieS.
 Dr. John II. Finley has come home from Europe with a fresh enthusiasm for the forgotten art and exercise of waking. Having devoted his life hitherto to teaching the young idea to shoot he would now teach it how to march, thereby reversing the or dinary sequence of infantry train ing, but in an excellent cause.
 Walking develops our muscles, aids digestion. stimulates drought soothes and rests nerves. 1t is a splendid specific for a great deal that ails us socially and politically. Here in America we do not begin to use our legs enough We put too much store by artificial means of locomotion, and consider as evidence of super iority the fact that actually and re- latlvely we have more miles of rail- way. more street cars, more auto mobiles than any other people. But as Emerson says, For everything that is given something Is taken Society acquires new arts and loses old instincts"
 Already. literally, we have become a nation of tender-feet, with all that this implies. If Dr. Finley can per suade us that legs arg made for use as well as for show, he will have performed a great service for ms country.

nc doubt, than their own directors would like to have them carry, and l know of some member banks which are very reluctant to add to thetr contingent liability as indorser on any terms.
 Banking Policy
 While the suggestion made in yodr letter raises a question of banking policy which should be determined by the federal reserve banks themselves rather than the federal reserve board. I may say that I do not believe any advantage would be gained in hav- ing an understanding that any new loans will not be counted as part of the banks regular line. No loans can be made by any federal reserve bank except with the indorsement of member bank, and the indorsing banks liability is there, whether 1t is regarded as part of the regular line or not.
 The board feels assured that tho federal reserve banks are fully in- formed of the conditions in their respective districts and that they will adopt a broad and liberal. policy in assisting their member banks 10 meet the requirements of the situa- tion"%

tion of the supreme court, June 5V, 1921. Governor Kilby has assured Birmingham post, No. 1, that if the legislature is convened in extra ses- sion, the soldiers poll-tax amend- ment will beincluded in his call.
 The fight for the American Le- gions legislative programme In Washington, including the so-called bonus" bill, will be kept up No quarter will be asked. and none given in this fight until the American Le- gions fourfold compensation plan has successfully passed both houses of Congress and has the Presidents signature on the dotted line.
 Boxing Bout
 Plans are under way for boxing bout which the legion proposes to stage on Labor Day, September 5. Major Ashworth and the adjutant of Birmingham post No 1 have this matter in charge.
 They are already busy holding con- ferences with lsheriffs, chiefs of po- lice and other dignitaries of the law with a view to keeping the squared ring within the law, and to put on fistic bout which will re- mind the fans of the ringside very forcefully and vividly of the little episode which took place in Jersey City in four rounds on July 2.
