.T|LSON DEFENDS
 RESERVE SYSTEM
Thinks Congress Should Extend
 Its Life

Hartford, Dec. 30 P)-That the life of the Federal Reserve system should be extended by action of congress at this session before the matter can be carried into politics is the view of Congressman John c. Tilson of New Haven as given to a gathering of several hundred leading citizens under the auspices of the Hartford Chamber of Commerce in the ballroom of the Hotel Bond this afternoon. The charter will expire in five years and in the period since the system came into operation in 1913 the federal reserve has dem onstrated it's tremendous benefits and it should have the extension. Congressman Tilson feels.
 The congressman, who is major ity leader in the national house, preluded his talk with a general outline of the story of the tax sit uation in congress and the country to date. He expressed the opinion that no tax legislation of impor- tance was likely to be enacted at this session.
 Then Congressman Tilson passed along to a statement that congress was likely to discuss proposed legis- lation grouped about two leading lines, national bank laws and radio broadcasting, rather dissimilar sub jects.
 National banks do not loan di- rectly on real estate except under unusual circumstances. For some time there has been a wide feeling that the national banking laws should be liberalized and to that view there is no particular opposi- ton, the speaker said. Congressman McFadden of Pennsylvania intro- duced into the sixty-eighth and sixty-ninth congresses a bill de- signed to liberalize the laws and to allow more latitude in the matter of realty loans and number of other matters.
 congressman illSoH dElINeu at i11:06 from New Haven and was met at the Union station by Samuel Lud- low, Jr., chairman of the public meetings committee accompanied by President Charles c. Cook of the Chamber of Commerce. Executive i Vice. President William H. Corbin and Secretary William L. Mead He
 was taken to room 3 in the Hotel
 Bond, where an informal reception
 was given. Mrs. A. H. Wightman,
 president of the Hartford League of i Women Voters, being among the 1 first to greet the visitor.

1927 Holidays Are
Nicely Arranged For
Weekend Vacations

How many times have you said to
yourself, Gosh, how ! wish some of
these holidays would come at Il time
when could get two days off,
And at Christmas Of this year this
wish was granted. just as ii will BE-
over New Years.
But a careful scanning Of the holi-
days on the 1927 calendar proves that
this coming year is probably one Of
the most ideal for the tired working
man who wants vacation. Of any
year for long period Of time.
Take Lincoln's birthday in Febru-
airy, for example. A legal holiday
it comes on Saturday. allowing two
day period of rest. Memorial day Is
another example, coming on Monday
Then there's the fourth of July, on
Monday this year and Labor day
Christmas and New Year. day in
1927 both come on Sunday. so they
will probably be observed Monday.
For onc-day holidays there are
Washingtonb birthday. coming on
Tuesday. Columbus Day. coming on
Wednesday, Armistice day on Friday,
and Thanksgiving day.
If you have a convincing way about
you. 1927 should prove IA picnic, for
besides the holidays listed above
there are any number Of others
which can be observed if you wish.
Here are few Of them: Arbor
Day. Bennington Battle Day. Child
Labor Day, jefferson Davis birthday
Defense Day. Fire Prevention Day
Flag Day. Indian Day. Jefferson's
birthday, Lees birthday, Battleshil
