JIMMY WILDE PUTS
 ON FEW POUNDS
Won't Be Any Objection to Him by American Commission, Says
 Little Fighter

CARDIFF, Wales, April 3.-'I have left the 9S-pound mark some way be- hind me-" says Jimmy Wilde, "so there is no likelihood of the American Box ing Commission taking any objection to me when I reach New York this Summer
 "When I enter the Popo Grounds for the flyweight championship I shall be weighing more than ever before Even then I shall be conceding a few pounds, but that is no handicap when think of my dealings with first-class bantams to whom I have presented more than 14 pounds.
 Aches and pains will be my lot during the first weeks of training, be. cause I have been out of the game for nearly two years, but 1 am sure that shall be able to work up to my old. time speed.
 q shall have put in two months training before I sail for New York on May 12-my birthday, by the way. l am not taking any sparring partners with me, because I shall find all I need over there, and many offers of services have already reached me from men who want to work with me in the gym over there.
 My training here will be very full course. I am starting it with light road work in the neighborhood of my home, Radyr, near Cardiff. At the end of two months I hope thGe will be very little more work to do when I reach New York, only to be- come acclimated. Luckily for me the fight takes place in Summer-p,y best season of the year."

 "A large number of state banks are not now members of the Federal Re serve System, some of them because their capital is not large enough to meet the requirements of the law. An amendment to the Federal Reserve Act carried in this bill is designed to encourage small banks to join the sys- tenn. A bank which has capital equal only to sixty per cent of the capital required of national banks may now be admitted, if within reasonable time the capital will be increased to correspond with the capital required of national banks.
 "The life of the War Finance Cor poration is extended up to February 29, 1924, the expectation being that by that date the new credit facilities provided for under this agricultural credits act will be sufficient to meet the needs.
 "This Agricultural Credits Act of 1923 is one of the most important acts passed by the last Congress. It marks an earnest effort to provide the farm CT with the sort of credit he must have to carry on efficiently. It is not class legislation. The results will be help full to business in general, because the effect will be to stabilize agriculture and marketing"

PALO ALTO, Cal, April 3-Erected at cost of $1,250,000 and declared to be the most modern hospital for neu- ropsychiatrics in the United States, the new unit of the United States Veterans Hospital No. "A has just been opened here. More than 100 ner- vous cases from the Mendocino State Hospital for the insane were brought here March 15 and additional nervous cases will be added from time to time. The capacity of the new group is 800 beds.
 The old wooden buildings of the hospital, which now house 425 pa tients, will be used for tubercular cases until the completion of the new Government hospital at Livermore. They will then be torn down and an- other 800 bed unit built, if recommen- dations made to the Government by Col. Frank E. Leslie, commanding of ficer, are adopted Colonel Leslie has advised the purchase of additional land to enlarge the present tract of SS acres.
 This is the seventh Government hos pital that Colonel Leslie has opened and is asserted by him to be the best he has even seen. It represents, he de- clares, the most modern ideas in hos i+,o1 Of tients who are nervously or mentally ill. There are twenty-two buildings in all in the new group, nine of which are to be used strictly for hospital purposes. In addition, there are a well-arranged mess hall and kitchen, nurses home, nine officers quar- ters and an administration building. All are of concrete, steam heated.
 These buildings are being furnished at cost of $5OO,OO0, making the total value of the completed plant $1,750- OOO The operating expenses will ap- proximate $134,000 monthly.
 A personnel of 53S doctors, nurses and attaches will conduct the institu- tion 200 of these being added for the new unity. They are in command of Colonel Leslie, who was recently transferred to Palo Alto from Fort Sheridan, Wyo. He is a specialist in the treatment of neuropsychiatric cases. There are already 125 of these cases in the hospital. The other 325 cases are tubercular and general med ical or surgical. These, however, will eventually be eliminated and the en- tire space given over to neuropsychia- tries.
 Veterans Hospital No. 24 is situat- ed about one mile from Palo Alto near the fashionable residence com munity of Menlo Park. It is suc- cessor to the Camp Fremont base hospital, conducted during the World War.
