wide.
Therefore, / do not believe q fuel
shortage for automobiles need be
feared, or that the present type OF
automobile engine will cause one.
don't believe fuel production Is fall
ing off, or the auto industry win
suffer from it.
No new type of engine to meet an
impending shortage Of gasoline is
therefore needed. What is wanted
is an engine which will consume
less fuel. Engineers are now work
ing on this problem, and win solve
it now or later.
There seems no indication Of un-
easiness regarding the automobile
industry. In January the produce
lion of cars and trucks was $4,000,
more than two and a half times the
output of January, 1922.
A little more than twenty-five
years ago. there were only four au.
omobiIes in the country. One OF
.hese was in a circus.
Today there ars more than IL 500.
900 motor vehicles registered, 10
per cent being trucks. Probably l.
500, 900 of these will have: to be re.
placed this year. The output for
o23 probably will be not less than
700, 900 cars and trucks.
My recent visit to the auto show
n Chicago showed me the closed
car was increasing in favor as a
pleasure car.
Woman's influence is responsible.
4 woman, in most cases objects to
the wind and dust which in an
open car muss UP her dress and
hair.
Two factors are hampering motor
production.
1. We have to go abroad for rub
Der and pay heavily for the raw
material, mostly in the hands Of the
British.
2. The tax burden is too heavy
on the auto industry. More than
s4O0 ,OO0, 900 was paid in 1922 20 the
Government for excise, gasoline,
wheel and other taxes and fees
levied by Federal, State and
municipal authorities.
A more equitable distribution cf
taxes would encourage the great
automobile industry.

next of these conventions viii be
held here early next summer, prob
ably some time in June.
The organization has as its aims,
in addition to those already listed,
the Improvement of the standards
Of technical ability and the creation
of higher ethical relations between
the architect, his client, and the
builder, and between the architect
and his fellow-craftsmen. Through
the national organization a publica-
ton of vital interest to all architects
and builders is issued regularly.
Officers of the local chapter are
striving to obyiate seeming mis-;
conception upon the part Of the pub
lie of the recent establishment Of a
minimum fee system" for architects
and architectural firms. It is ex.
planned that this fee system is de-
signed to prevent poor work upon
the part of architects, to the endaI1.
gering Of construction projects,
through competition to cut, down
prices.
"It is only by the charging Of
adequate fees" an officer Of the
chapter explained, that the public
can be assured that the architect
win be enabled to give adequate
study and preparation to the plans
he is required to present.

Comptroller crissinger, in Re-
port, Says It Is Needed
for Sterilization.
By w. HI. ATKINS,
International News Service.

Comptroller of the Currency Girls
singer in final report to Congress,
on the eve of becoming head Of the
Federal Reserve system, today pre-
dicted that the United States, now
holding so per cent of the world s
gold supply, soon must take the role
Of heavy exporter of gold, as a
contributor to world financial stabil-
azation.
Comptroller Crissinger sees dan
ger in this country's abnormal ac-
emulation of gold. He told Con-
gress q vast amount which has
drtfted into the Government vaults
and the bank treasures, soon will
be going out to different parts of
the world, chiefly to the countries
from which it came. On this point
ne said:
represent long step toward restor-
alton of that economic equilibrium
which is necessary as a prerequis-
ite to establishment of sound mon
0tary systems throughout the
world.
Stable Money In Demand.
"Some Of the monetary systems
which have been watered down to
the point of complete saturation,
have begun to yield to inevitable
pressure. SO that the more stable
money units of other countries are
being called in and utilized"
Asserting the United States must
ehoulder, large responsibility in
establishing sound conditions and
relationships abroad, the Comp.
troller said:
Zone of the things which must
happen will be disintegration, in a
considerable part, of that enormous
stock of gold which has been flow
ing to our shores since enrly in the
European war.
I'VE hold now half the monetary
gold stock of the. gold. Such q
disproportfonate holding is only less
unfortunate for us. than it is for
other countries to have their gold
reserves so badly depleted. ;
Banking Situation Good.
1T is because we must look for.
ward to the time when we shall
have to look forward to the time
when we shall have to return much
of our present gold holdings to
those from whom in recent years
it has come to us, that we must
give thought to the Importance OF
having our financial establishment
in order and prepared for the de-
mands that will come to it,
Comptroller Crissinger pronounced
the general banking situation as
satisfactory" He noted decided
improvement in economical condi.
tons in every section the past
year,
THE national banking system
Improvement in economical condi-
dence imposed in it," he said.
Abiding to agricultural condi-
tons, the Comptroller said that,
while agriculture has been hardest
hit by the post war deflation Of
any Of the large industrial groups,
he felt sure of a better future for
the farmers. He said:
THE outlook for a continuing
Improvement in the agricultural
situation, based on increased de-
mands for farmers products, both
at home and abroad, and conse-
quent improvement in prices, finds
immediate reflection in a more
cheerful banking prospect"

HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS

A bird bath and a planting of
nesting thickets and berried bushes
will bring them to your garden and
provide never failing entertainment
throughout the season. The birds
corner will be attractive horticul-
turally, as it gives an opportunity to
use some excellent Towering shrubs.
Thorny bushes and small trees are
the favorite nesting places of many
birds in the woods, and hawthorns
and Towering shrubs provide this
protection, as well as flowers to de-
light the garden owner and fruit to
feed the birds in the early winter.
The dogwoods, coral and snow
berry, high bush cranberry, Russian
mulberry, the buckthorn and the
elders provide blossoms and berries,
both of which are ornamental. The
berries, too, are much enjoyed by the
birds. The wild cherry, obtained
either from a nursery or from the
woods, will equal the bridal wreath
in the beauty of its white flowers,
and furnish robins a treat in the
late summer relished far beyond a
cultivated cherry feast.

HIS WHOLE BODY TATTOoED
IDENTIFY Believed In Doing Things
With Thorouqhness.

The body of Frederick Herman, a
former barge captain, was declared
by officials at New York city morgue
to be more tattooed than any other
ever seen there. Circumstances sur
rounding his death have not been
learned.
Herman's body, legs, arms, and
neck were covered with designs, ap-
parently tattooed at most of the for
eign ports of the world. On the
chest was full-rigged ship, while
directly below it was a picture of
Ben Hur's chariot race. Around the
neck two snakes were entwined. On
the upper right arm was the Crock
of Ages" A German and American
flag were intertwined on the left leg.
A tombstone, bearing the caption
"In Memory Of Mother" was tat
tooed on the mans back. The figure
Of Columbia, an Indian, birds, mice,
cherubs, dagger, several figures of
women, shields, and many other de-
signs were on his body.
Police communicated with naval
officers in an effort to learn more of
the former sailor.

FlLIBusTER is OLD TRICK
Cato Said to Have Employed Dilatory
Tactics in the Roman Senate
1000 Years Ago.

During the closing sessions of the
Sixty-seventh congress ended March
4, flibustering became so common
the librarian at the State depart
ment undertook to ascertain how
long such parliamentary strategy
had been in vogue. He found that
the first record of filibuster turned
back the pages of history 1878
years.
Friends of Julius Caesar intro
duced bill in the senate to allow
Caesar to stand for election as con-
sui by proxy. Senator Cato objected
and held the floor all day and night
as ne found that many senator's
favored the bill of Julius. When
Caesar heard of it he, being near at
hand, hurried into Rome next day
while the filibuster was still ON, but
Senator Cato had won, having
forced Caesar to obey the law.
According to Plutarch, to whom
the State department authority re-
ferred, Senator Cato took the floor
to waste time" The parliamentary
trick, however, appears to be only
about 1000 years old.
