CHICAGO NOT TO CHANGE
REDISCoUNT RATE NOW

CHICAGO. May 13.-The consen.
sus of Chicago banking opinion is
that there will be no change in the
reAiscount rate of the Federal re-
serve bank of Chicago at this
months meeting Of the directors,
scheduled for May %. 1t is now
conceded to be practically certain
the local rate will remain at Az
per cent, despite the recent reduc-
ton in the New York rate to 4 per
cent.
With one or two exceptions Chi.
cago has heretofore held to New
York closely in changes in the re-
discount rate. In this instance, how.
ever, local bankers feel New York s
action was largely a gesture signi-
tying merely an easy money posi-.
ton.
There IL no good reason for
changing the Chicago rate at this
tine" one influential banker stated
Yesterday. ut would be significant
OF nothing at all. 1t would DO no
good; neither would It do any harm.
Until there is a valid excuse for
action the local rate should not be
disturbed"

Birdie Reeve, With World
Record. Hits Keys Twenty
Times q Second

/ Holding the record Of being the
worlds fastest typist. Birdie Reeve,
sixteen years old, OF New York,
called on President Coolidge today.
Miss Reeve has established the
record Of striking the typewriter
keys twenty times In Q single second
in tipping words. Furthermore. she
is able to- maintain this terrific
speed for an hour.
Among her accomplish An q
typist is her ability to transcribe On
her typewriter the address OF the
ordinary speaker as rapidly a. It il

entirely different from that en-
ployed. only use the first two
fingers Of each hand and space with
my forefingers. My trouble 10 In
finding a typewriter that. can keop

Besides being the Wrld'o Eastegt
Itypist Miss Reeve has acquired q
working vocabulary Of more than
5000 wrds. She can write and de-
fine $4,000 words. To aid her In
her work she has compiled eight
| dictionaries, each for a specific
purpose. Recently she subdivlded
President Coolidge's speech deliver
ed before the Press Club in New
York showing the number Of times
the same words appeared. the
length Of the words used by him
and the number Of different words
included in the address. More than
1000 Of tho latter appear In the
analysis.
Memory Il the great aid Of the

thought without apparent effort.
In q sense that becomes mechan-
ical. At least 20 I have found It,

To show how rapidly she can
strike the ksys, Miss Reeve adjusted

strokes until the resulting effect
was like that of a battery Of ma

AyWA,
Written expressly for International
NewB Service.
1t IL folly to expect business pros.
perity to long continue in the face
Of farm bankruptcy.
According to a report OF the Secre.
tary OF Agriculture. practically one
out Of every four farm owners ii,
fifteen corn and wheat States Is, In
fact, bankrupt. During the four
years from 1920 to 1928. Inclusive
we had almost l,4OO bank failures
with total Liabilities of more thau
$500, 100000. The majority OF then,
occurred In Agricultural sections.
More than four-sevenths Of the
total farm income is consumed Ia
paying interest charges on mort
gage, personal debts. and taxes
The payment Of farm taxes alone
requires the entire value Of the
wheat crop.
Relief Of some sort 10 necessary
II agricultural prosperity Ii to bs
restored. We have tried increased
money credits and other methods
and while they have helped to some
extent, the fundamental evil has
not been corrected.
What the farmer needs ana i,
justly entitled to is a fair return or
his labor and industry. Unsettled
world conditions. coupled with Other
American factors. have discounted
agricultural commodities far below
other commodities. Tools, euu:D
ment, and other necessities cost him
nearly double the pre-war value. HI
has received no commensurate in
crease for his crops, The result hal
been disastrous to him, and the
process cannot be continued in
definitely without seriously weaken
ing our entire economic structure.
We cannot continue to permit thi.
great industry to go to pot without
deliberately undermining the most
substantial props on which this ma
ton rests 1t Is foolish reasoning ia
say that II a surplus exists, let the
farmer curtail production. We must
eat to live. That is axiomatis
Food production cannotx@ be regu
lated with the same degree cf &c
curacy as other industry. We have
already interfered with the elemental
economic law Of supply and demand
to protect and benefit othe. instlt,l
tons and industries.
