Declaring banking was one Of the
functions belonging to the Federal

said, and congress should enact
measure under which non-member
banks would be denied the privileges
Of the Federal Reserve system.
This would have the effect, he be-

Par collection of checks was urged

currency and about 95 pecent Of all
business is conducted in that way.
Under the Federal Reserve system,
he continued, par clearance has been
reduced to an infinitesimal cost which
the banks, and not the customers,
should stand. Unless par clearance
Is made general. he predicted invoices

also is light.
Experiments made recently showed
that single tile weighs from 1900 to
1900 lbs. per 100 So feet, while copper
weighs only from 81 to 100 lbs. So the
tile now used in Japan weighs from IL
to lS times as much as copper. 1t also
necessitates on big buildings that much
stronger and heavier walls which are
a costly problem on soil where all
real weight must be supported upon
wooden spilcs.
Another thing that has turned all
eyes toward American engineering
methods is the fact that the American
built structures best withstood the re-.
cent quake. The Imperial Hotel at
Toxic, which did not collapse, although
right in the heart of the devastation,
is American-built and has a copper
roof, as have many other buildings
there that have been erected after the
