Detailed Figures
On Earnings Given
By Reserve Bank
Analysis, of Workings of
institution VIII Do Much
20 Clear Up Mystery, in
Opinion OF Many Bankers

The New Y York Federal Reserve bank
yesterday placed the facts and figures
Of its opera tons before the public in
a statement presenting an itemizcd
balance sheet. a detailed profit and loss
account, and All analysis OF operating
expenses, designed especially for the
comprehension of the average non
technical man. No similar statement
regarding It's business has ever pre-
viously been complied by Federal
Reserve bank. the action being cal
culatcd to clear up much of the mys-
terry that has surrounded the activity
OF these Institutions and to set at rest
popular misconceptions Of their func
tiors.
The statistics Of the banks business
are submitted to stockholders by Gov
rrnor Hcniaain Strong merely as the
seventh annual statement. They are
not officially presented as an answer to
critics cf the BAN, but, in The view Of
the financial district, their issuance
in such detail for the first time is as
sociated with the recent aud perssting
attacks upon the executive ard the
conduct Of the banks business. 1t is
believed that they will confuse those
critics who have depended for the sue
cess Of their propaganda largely upon
public ignorsncc of the Federal Re
serve systems workings.
Total earninas OF the bank during
1921 are statsd as $34 7GT ,238, com
pared with >6O.525,32 in 1920 Of this

The analysis Of operating expense.
shows that S572.748 Of the SO. ,7SO
total was incurred directly in render
ing services in connection with govern
ment loans. This work formerly was
PAID lor by the government. but since
june 30 the expense has been borne bv
the bank. In addition to these opera
tons for the Treasury, the bank per
formed other work for the government
connected with the currency, the collec-
ton of checks, the custody, purchase
and sale of securities, the transfer of
funds, etc.
Operating expenses are analyzed un-
der seven principal heads, the attempt
being made to assign the proportionate
share of overhead to each. They fol-

should be, and behind the grin thought
full, understanding actor.
The outline of the story is of the SIM
plest: merely the falling in love of young
tutor and the most attractive girl in the
small college town. But woven into il is a
delineation of the whole cosmos of that
town and its college people. 1t is no gall
lery of detached portraits. no collection Of
museum specimens, but large family of
men and women living and loving and
mildly hating within a narrow circle
some eccentrics. such as the plump paint
er with the tenuous chin whisker< and the
retired professor who kept chickens in his
fourth floor apartment. but these are kept
in their proper places and interest centers
upon the natural, normal humans male
and female. 1t would be quite impossible
to give any adequate taste of the book
without long quotation. 1t must suffice to
call attention TO it, emphatically. as the
contribution of a newly arrived personality
of importance.

New Fiction

intelligent and also genial study of many
familiar types OF men and women, and. like
all true humorists. Panzini now and then
runs close to the source OF tears, though
he is much more apt to be almost rollick-
ing. There is nothing thin or superficial
about his humor.
The translation is. fortunately, also a
fine piece of literary art in itself. So much
translation to-dav is mere hack work.
clumsy and inept. that it is a real pleasure
to find little masterpiece treated with the
scholarship and accuracy and also the fine
ness of touch that DIR. Cooper shows in
this. The choice of the exactly right adjec-
tive, for example. is even more difficult in
translation than in original composition,
since one must not diverge from the orig
inai. There is a touch OF inspiration in
such a phrase as that of the description
of the poet who wrote advertisements as "a
spectral man who drank inflammable
fluids" No translator who is not himself
an artist would ever have chosen that
spectral"
