state Banks And Federal Reserve.


Efforts to be made by the Federal
Government to persuade State banks
to join the Federal Reserve system
will have but slight Success In Mary
land, in the opinion Of the heads of
several local banking houses.
A resolution introduced by Senator
Mclean, of Connecticut, chairman OF
the Senate Banking and Currency
Committee. has been adopted, calling
for an inquiry into the subject by the
Government. Not enough State insti-
tutions are included in the Federal
Reserve system, it was said.
Unless some special inducements
are offered to State banks very few,
at least in this State, will willingly
become members of the Federal Re
serve, it was stated by Wilton Snow
den, vice-president Of the Mercantile
Trust Company.
Banking houses in this State are
getting along very well under pres
ent conditions, and there is no reason
why they should make change" said
Mr.. Snowden. "The Government has
no power to force them to join, of
course and unless there Is some in
ducement, not at present included in
the system, am quite sure that none
of the State banks will join.
Most of the banks now under State
charters would hesitate to place them
selves under Federal control. There
is really no practical advantage, ex-
cept perhaps for the small banks in
times of stress. With sound currency
in the country all the State banks
would be quite safe.
1.-THE Federal Government has sew
eral times attempted topersuade State
banks to join the system, but very
few of them have done it,"

CARRYF|GHT TO
!. STATE BOARD
Raritan Township Refuses
Request of MetuChen for
Sewage Disposal Bed

METUCHEN, Feb. 27.-At a spec
ial meeting of the borough council
last night, the members voted unani-
mouly to carry their fight to obtain
an outlet for their sewage disposal
beds, to the state board of health.
This action follows the receipt of
a letter from officials of Raritan
township, formally refusing the re-
quest that an outlet for the beds be
constructed into Dismal Brook. The
state board of health had previously
approved this plan
Raritan townships opposition was
based on the possibility of the water
from the beds washing away the
banks of the brook. When this mat
ter was clearly explained, the fear of
contamination was the stumbling
block.
Engineers of the state board have
made known that the water from the
oeds Will be quite pure and there
need be no fear of contamination or
unsatisfactory conditions.
The ontlet matter is the only thing
IN the way of the passage of the or
dlnance for a sewage system in the
borough.

EDUCATED LIGHTNING

Out in Death Valley, California,
they hitch twenty mules to a borax
wagon and loudly proclaim to the
world that they have quite team.
Yet to move the cars that Public
Service Railway has in service at the
hour of the peak load would take
1900 such teamS-S6,OOO mules!
imagine it, In double harness,
the team itself would reach from
New York to Philadelphia, and be-
hind it would be some 1,400 cars
loaded with more than hundred
thousand people.
Public Service hasn't 5000
mules, of course, but it does have at
its command the support of the four
teen generating stations of Public
Service Electric Company, capable
of producing not only $1,000 horse
power, but 100000, a capacity soon
to be increased by 10000 horse
power. ,
1t is the Power House man who
operates these stations. His buSi-
ness is to put electricity-"Educated
Lightning'-through its tricks. To
produce the current used in Public
Service territory he burns coal at the
rate of two tons for every minute of
the whole twenty-four hours, and
the power he controls is sufficient
to turn the wheels of most of the
factories in New Jersey.
Coal strikes, car shortages, bRak-
downs, Notwithstanding, it is his job
to put power enough on the wires to
carry all who wish to ride on Public
Service cars-and he does.

WOODBRIDGE, Feb. Gloon
siderable discussion was caused last
night at the meeting of the town
ship committee over a resolution in
troduced by Committeeman j. b
Slater, dividing the $36,000 appro-
priated for the repair of the roads
to the various wards. after arguing
the matter back and forth for some
time, the resolution was finally
passed by the votes OF Committee
men McElroy, Luffbarry, Gill Salter
and Neuberg. Committeeman Hoy
and Larson voted against its
adoption.
The resolution follows:
Resolved, That the appropriation
of $4,000 for the repair of roads in
to and expended i'll the various
wards, as follows:
Ward No. /, S10,000; Ward No.
2, $4,000; Ward No. 8, $4,000; and
be it further;
Resolved, That the township
road supervisor be and is hereby
directed not to approve, and the
township treasurer be and is here
by directed not to pay any bills in
Cured in the wards above stated in
excess of the amounts allotted to
each ward as inc orporated in this
resolution"
Commissioner Hoy, in refusing to
vote for this resolution, declared
that he did not think any man had
the foresight to divide money in
such way. The first ward, Mr..
Hoy declared, was a locality which
iuN I,N hill h. =
has IL greater number of miles to
cover.
Committeeman Salter took ex-
ception to the remarks of Mr.. Hoy,
and informed him that the money
not spent in one ward could be later
transferred to another, as the oc-
casion required.
Road Supervisor Blum said that
he thought it was his business to
have some say in the matter and de-
clared that he could not see the
division as arranged by the commit
tee. He suggested that $4,000 be
taken from each ward and be used
by him after September l. for gen.
eral road repairs.
Committeeman Gill stated that he
thought every territory should have
its share, and if that is not enough,
tor a higher road budget this year
Mr.. Gill declared that the whole ap-
preparation was not enough to fix
one ward.
Hoy before voting on the resolu-
ton, declared that was only a case
of some getting their heads together
and trying to put over some fool
ishness.
A report of the police committee
containing recommendations supple
menting those of January IL were
received and read. The report fol-
lows:
"To Woodbridge Township Commit
tee:
"Supplementing our recon menda-
tions of January II, presented at the
regular meeting of the Township
Committee held on January %, and
in compliance with the suggestion of
your committee with regard to slight
changes they thought might be de-
sirable, we recommend that:
Firstly: Patrick Cullinane be
made desk sergeant at police head
quarters with the rank of sergeant.
(In this connection we might state
that this man and the chief were
consulted and agreed that this move
will be entirely satisfactory to them).
Secondly: Regarding salaries, we
wish to slightly amend our original
report by recommending that:
"(a) The regular increase of 5000
per man per year become effective
retroactive January l, 1928, as orig
inally prescribed, but that
"(b) The extra rates recommended
for the proposed new graded posi-
tions become effective only at the
time this reorganization goes into

A young man who practiced medicine
in Pennsylvania became famous and
was called in consultation in many

cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce, who finally made up
his mind to place some of his medi-
cines before the public, and moving to
Buffalo. N Y, put up what be called
his "Favorite Prescription" and placed
it with the druggists in every state.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
long been recognized as a tonic for
diseases peculiar to womankind. After
suffering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy,
weak and dragged down by weak
nesses of her sex--a woman is quickly
restored to health by its use. Thou.
sands of women testify that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription has entirely
eradicated their distressing ailments.
More recently that wonderful dis
covery of DR.. Pierce's, called An-uric
(for kidneys and backachel, has been
successfully used by many thousands
who write DR.. Pierce OF the benefits
received - that their backache, rheu-
matism, and other symptoms of uric
acid deposits in joints or muscles have
been completely conquered by its use.

It soon developed, however, that
stock offerings were meeting with

Some extremely optimistic state.
