 ing Reserve System

WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.--The fed eral reserve board decided today to inaugurate a new policy with re- spect to admission of state banks into the Federal Reserve system. After February l, 1924, the beard will require as condition of member ship that a state bank agree to es- tablish no branches without the boards permission and to relinquish any branches it may have outside of the city in which the parent bank is located.
 These two general principles will govern the boards action on all ap- plications for membership by state banks The policy will be rigidly en- forced if the recommendation of a committee of it's member who studied the question, are followed.
 The committee reports suggested in recommending adoption of the policy that it's effect would be to place state and national banks of the system on more even terms of competition. Two United States attorneys general t was pointed out, have held that fed eral law f rbid national banks es- tablishing branches doing 8 general banking business. Many states per- maintain branches and the committee hinted that continued spread of branch banking by state institutions would eventually stroy the strength of the reserve system.

Believed To Be Bones Of Remote
 American Race

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Nov, r. Dr. J. P Harrington and Dr. A. l.. Kroeber of the University of Califor- mia, who completed their examination and measurement of the skulls of the ancient men and women found in the reef at Burton mound in this city, today declared that their studies had convinced them that the bones are those of remote ancestors of the Channel Indians who lived far back in prehistoric times and were a con- meeting link in the process of evolu tion of the ancient tribes of this To- cality.
 One of the remarkable features of the skulls is the nearly perfect pre- serVation of the teeth particularly of the male The skull of the man contains ten teeth badly worn down from the grinding of raw food in the process of eating. The incisors are shovel shaped and the molars very powerful The grinding motion smoothed and levelled the teeth. A few of the teeth are missing from the skull of the woman, but it is thought they were lost before death
 The skulls are filled with reefrock which will not be removed until they are placed in the hands of Dr. Oette- king, of the museum of the American Indian in New York, where the skulls will be sent in a few days.
