Fit it with hasp and paddock,
Put all Your troubles there
Hide therein al your failures
And each bitter cup YOU quaff
Lock all your h"artacheS within it,
Then, SIT ON THE LID AND

Keep them forever there
Hide them from sight so completely
The world Will never dream half;
Fasten the top down securely.

ADVISORY COUNCIL
 RESERVE BOARD MEETS
Par Clearance Of Checks Is Prime
 Problem

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The ad- visory council of the federal reserve board will meet here tomorrow in It's annual fall session and those con versant with problems pending pre- dicted today that the conference probably wouldJ be the most import ant in two years
 Chief among the questions which the board has turned over to the council for consideration is that oi par clearance of checks. After hay / ing acted once to tighten restric- tfons on the movement of checks, on which collection charges are levied and then reversed it's decision, the board definitely laid the problem aside two months ago to await the consideration of the advisory body.
 Another subject awaiting acton among many, is that of proposed limitation on branch banking, re- gently re-opened by dispute arising In California, and although most of ficials are inclined to believe no im- mediate recommendation is probable they feel that discussion by the ad- visory board undoubtedly will in- fluence the boards final policy II a definite stand is to be taken.
 The European economic sltuatlon which has been reviewed carefully al each of the meetings in the last sew oral years, also required study with reference to it's effect on commerce and industry in the United states and the elimination of the German marx from many bank exchange ilsts adds a new phase to the questions which the concil may examine.

Players And MoguIs Pay Last Tribute To A Man "Who
 Played The Game"

CHICAGO, Sept. 1s-(Associated Press )-Amerlcan baseball as an or- ganization paid it's tribute today ta man who played the game"
 One of the most notable gatherings of baseball men in history gathered this morning in Oakwoods cemetery at the grave of the late Capt Adrian e (Pop) Anson, leader of the "heroic legion" of baseball, the Chicago White Stockings of the eighties and nineties, and, after his deeds had been recited and his services to the great American sport eulogized, unveiled 8 plain marble shaft erected by the National league In his honor.
 Baseball stars, owners. executives and fans from every walk of life were present for the simple services for the former leader of the Chi cago National league club.
 Mayor William E. DeVer, represent ing the city, presided at the exercises. Former Judge K. M. Landis, national commander of baseball, and President John A. Heydler of the National

HOW TO DEAL WITH
 ITALY PERPLEX|NG LEAGUE DELEGATES
Council Must Render Report DiSpoSing Of Issue Sat-
 iSfaCtoriIy To All

GENEVA, Sept. 16.-(By Associated Press s.)-The Greco-Italian question now has been happily settled say the delegates to the council of the league of nations, but the question of how to deal with Italy Is per picking.
 "Stormy" was the word employe{l today in summarizing the session or the council which was hurriedly con- voked Saturday night and which did not adjourn until early Sunday morn ing. It was devoted to this delicate question.
 The Greco Italian conflict has been settled say the delegates, thanks to the motive of the league of nations, backed by world opinion. But they declare Italy has defled the league some action calculated to reinforce the prestige of the league.
 O O O
 Aware Report Is Necessary
 The council Is said to be we'll aware of the fact that, sooner or to the assembly of the league, which will refer to the Italian affair and dispose of the matter to the sausfac- ton of a majority of the delegates. Some of the members of the council of the league favored last night an
 
 Others who fear that brusque treat ment of Italy might risk Rome s retirement from the league, coun- seled patience and delay.
 The issue at stake is generally deemed to have been reduced to the question of the Italian occupation and bombardment of Corfu, as the opinion is growing that the first phase of the Greco-Italian conflict properly belonged to the domain of the council of ambassadors and not to the league of nations. But the conviction is growing that the as- sembly must pass on the Corfu af- fair in order to safeguard the pres tige of the Geneva organization. DiscOuraging symptoms Lacking
 The feeling that the league has not lived up to it's immediate possl- bilities in the Italo-Greek conflict IS considered to finger in the minds or all the delegates here. Yet It IS declared not to be producing the discouraging symptoms about the league that many people seem to foresee. It. was declared today that there was renewed faith that world public opinion backing the ideals be- hind the league was force to be reckoned with by all statesmen in the future and that if the deague coVen- ant for any reason of complicated practical polite, could not be strict ly applied, the league nevertheless could exercise a pressure of the gov ernments whose power had surprised the most ardent of the partisans of the league.
