FORBES PREDICTS SUCCESS
OF BRANCH BANK BATTLE
By B. c. FORBES

ATLANTIC CITY. Oct. behind
the scenes the two big questions dis
cussed by thousands of bankers gath
cred here for the American Bankers
Association annual convention are
branch banking and the perpetuation
of the Federal Reserve banking sys-
TEN.
The opening gun in the branch
banking battlc-and it is battle
was fired by r. F. McNally of the
National Bank of Commerce, st.
Louis.
Speaking broadly, the battle is be-
tween the city and the country. Amer
ica's banking Napoleons desire legal
power to establish branches The ter
ritory they at present seek to conquer
is only their own city and their own
state. But, say the apprehensiveless
powerful county bankers, the next
move would be for power to dot and
dominate the whole country with
branch banks.
Which side will win?
SEES BRANCH VICTORY.
Regardless of what one would like
to see happen, only one thing is GER
tain to happen.
Branch banking will spread.
Why?
First. because it is in harmony with
economic law. 1t is in harmony with
the whole trend of the times. 1t is in
harmony with every great financial
and industrial evolution in our own
land.
Second, world conditions, world COM
petition. demand that the United
States develop gigantic banks capable
of meeting and, whenever necessary.
defeating foreign banks of colossal
strength.
Americas industrial leadership has
been won mainly by mass production.
Pranch banking is equivalent to finan-
cal mass production. The United
States Steel Corporation, the General
Electric Company, General Motors,
the Ford Motor Company and other
towering industrial corporations do
not attempt to confine their activities
to one plant or one building. They
open plants or branches wherever eco
nomic interests demand.
ONLY ONE BIG BANK.
The United States has only one ST.
600, O0o,O 900 bank, the National City of
New York.
Britain has hardly anything but
billion-dollar banks.
But Britain could not have built up
billion-dollar banks had branch bank
ing been forbidden. Britain's billion
dollar banks are the direct result OF
branch banking. British banks are al
lowed by law, yea, encouraged by
British statesmen, to spread all over
the British empire. The great banks
Of London have their own people doing
business for them in all the British

FALL MARKS new EPOCH
IN MILADY'S CHIC ATTIRE
By ANNE ANTONIO

STYLE shows-fashion revues-these
have held the stage of Milady's world
during the current week. Highly i'm
portant they are, too, for the season
of 1926 marks new epoch III
women's attire. so different is practi-
cally her entire wardrobe-a new de-
parture as to cut, color and en-
semble. The perfect ensemble is. in
deed, most essential; every detail
must be in harmony-not the same
color or the same tones, but con-
trasts, for that is the theme of the
autumn mode. Decorative touches
are important; there is noticeable use
of embroidery in colors and metal,
applique, brocade. beading.
There is decided leaning toward
the fitted silhouette-many gowns
show tight fitting bodices. Again the
natural waistlinc is evident. Many
skirts are circular-others achieve n
circular effect by inserted godcts and
side flares. Straight lines, too. are
favored by many foremost designers
but almost always there is fullness at
some point. pleats. n gathered front or
back. inserted panels, thus assuring
graceful movement.
SLEEVES ARE LONG.
Long sleeves are the rule rather
than the exception. Almost always
they are long for street costumes. A
most attractive beaded crepe romaine
evening gown, noted at n fashion re-
vuc. featured long sleeves with a puff
at the wrist-novel in effcct-an at
tractive contrast 10 the low round
neck. High collars are much in
vogue-even low necked gowns often
feature strap of material or ribbon
about the throat 10 simulate collar.
Among the highly favored fall colors
are piranga, tanager, wren, sea swal-
low pansy, cuckoo, queen bird, black
prince, bokhara. Black is exceeding
ly smart, but always it is contrasted
by trimmings of rich colors or metal
brocade. Never does one find an en-
tirely black ensemble. There is lavish
use of fur for collars, cuffs, skirt
bands. Patches of it appear in unex-
pected places.
PRETTY ENSEMBLE.
Particularly stunning was an en-
semble model shown by one fashion
revue developed of pencil blue needle
point, platinum fox fur at the collar;
a band of it ostensibly at the bottom
of the coat-but, surprise-it finish
ed a border of brocade on the dress.
Just so accurately did this two-piece
model fit.

colonies as well as in other parts Of
the world.
The United States could not have
had its lone billion-dollar bank had
not limited branch banking been per-
mittcd it. The National City Bank of
New York not only has aggressively
York City. but it has reached out and
established branches in such diverse
places as Paris, Haiti, Cuba ~
branches, Shanghai, Antwerp, Ma
Mia, Montreal, Milan, Osaka, etc.
NEED BIG GUNS.
Neither in banking nor in industry
can pop-guns successfully fight can
non. Europe has banking cannon.
Shall our states do everything within
their power to confine our banking
weapons TO pop-guns!
For a time there doubtless will be
opposition, first opposition, in many
states, to the spread of branch bank
ing. Knowing how "Wall Street
banks" are regarded, how they are
distrusted throughout the republic, 1t
is natural that anything savoring of
an expansion of their powers should
be bitterly fought Give the big city
banks an inch today and they will
take a whole yard tomorrow. declare
the opponents of branch banking. The
time to souelch the evil, they claim,
is now, before it reaches out like a
cancer, and invades the whole body
polite.
BRANCHES INEVITABLE.
But the handwriting on the wall is
very plain. Just as our foremost IN
dustrial enterprises set up branch
plants, just as department store lead
ers are building or acquiring busl-
nesses in different cities, just as the
chain store system of merchandising
is rapidly spreading all over the land,
lust as the trend in railroading Is to-
ward larger and larger systems, so
the inevitable trend in banking Will
be toward larger and larger bank
and chains of branches.
Such chains may, doubtless WILL
be confined TO city or state lines 1or
n time. But way unquestlonably
will be found by and by to reach FAR
Their afield.
WORD OF WARNING.
One word Of warning. Our big
banks have the strength of giant.
But they must be scrupulously care
full how they use their strength of a
giant. Our federal reserve system
conceivably could be disrupted were
the battle between the cities and the
country TO be waged ruthlessly by our
banking Napoleons. Nothing must DC
done which would drive thousands OF
banks throughout the country out OF
our federal reserve system. Its pres
ervation is essential TO the maintee-
nance Of that banking system best cal,
culated to develop Americas financial
at home and her financial
mower throughout the world.

portation-featured a coat OF
black baby lamb cloth. with fitted
waistline and flare skirt, the lining
and dress of cuckoo brown brocaded
crepe-black fox fur added distinction
TO this attractive costume.
Dashing for the real brunette was
two-piece affair-a silver brocade
over blouse with black velvet skirt.
White hose and black patent leather
pumps-a jaunty black hat with mon
key fur falling softly over the right
eye completed the distinctive costume.
HATS IN VARIETY.
And speaking of hats-thcy are Of
fered this season in infinite variety.
There are small shapes-Prates,
Prince of Wales. off-the-face effects,
and. for formal wear, gorgeous big
models-brims many inches deep-be-
witching. Observation-Disclosures Of sat
in and velvet. Many are ornamented
with hand-painted designs; others
boast a single brilliant ornament. And
in these, too. the ensemble effect must
be carried out-one's hat must CORE
spond TO the dress and coat.
Coats are shown in materials of cx-
auisite weave-in the plumage shades
and black-nearly all are fur trimmed.
Both straight and flare lines are fea-
tured. Many evening wraps are de-
velopcd of velvet, plain or embossed,
fur trimmed, some lined in shimmering
metal cloth.
For evening. the mode is, indeed,
riotously gay. and quite young. Bril-
liantly colored gowns are embellished
with beading. brocade. embroidery.
There is lavish use of metal-gold and
silver laces. Much fur is seen on smart
evening apparel.
SHOES FOLLOW TREND.
Shoes. too. follow the trend of the
mode toward ornamentation. Simply
cut pumps and slippers are often
stitched in self color or contrast. Very
new is the iridescent patent leather
either for the entire shoe or for
trimming. Buckles are exceedingly
smart-they are shown in endless va
riety for street, afternoon and eve
ming wear. Rhinestone ornaments are
seen on pastel shaded satins and on
metal kid slippers. Hosiery is shown
in lighter shades-again to achieve
contrast.
Accessories. such as bags, vanities,
bracelets, beads, are shown in many
novelties, TO lend chic TO every cos
tune.
Indeed. the autumn mode is inter
esting. colorful. gay. The correct
adaptation of its fancies to milady's
individual type will be a pleasure not
only to her. but to her admirers-a
pleasure to see as well as to wear.
