FARM RELIEF GIVEN BY
FED. RESERVE BANKS; NO
HONEY PANIC POSSIBLE

Atlanta, Cain the present crisi.
due to the low price Of agricultural
products, just suppose the country
did not have the Federal Reserve
System, the farm loan banks and the
intermediate banking system and
ability to prevent a none ypanlc, 1t
was pointed out here today by lead
ing financiers. According to one f.
nancier, at is too terrible to think of
ne nanlc that might be upon us.
In 1894 the Farmers Alliance and
Peoples Party were derided because
they proposed sub-trasury plan by
which money would be loaned on GER
tificates of cotton and grain deposited
in warehouses to prevent dumping 1T
on the market at starvation prices.
If, instead of deriding that sugges-
ton, it is claimed here, legislators
had perfected the idea, there would
have been money enough to hold part
of the crop. But the banking system
then was so inelastic that what is
no wdone easily could not be done
at all, il is shown.
1t was not the government bankers
who drafted the Federal Reserve
System, the parent of the present
easy money plan for farm relief. In
fact most of the city bankers fought
it to a finish and their opposition
made it long and hard fight to Sc
cure it's passage.
The country owes its adoption to
the Wilson administration. Great
credit should go to William G. Nc
Adoo, Carter Glass and Robert l..
Owen in the order named.
Great Reservoir Of Credit
More than twelve billions Of dollars
passes over the counters of the Fed
eral Reserve Banks annually, official
figures show. The entire volume of
money in circulation, it is claimed,
has an average turnover through the
reserve banks of once in every five
months, since the amount handled
every year by the system is about
two and one-half times the average
circulation in the country.
Among the services performed by
the Federal Reserve System, the sup
plying Of currency to the country in
accordance with its needs is one Of
the most important, bankers show.
It is to the twelve reserve banks,
with their twenty-three branches,
three agencies and three currency de-
pots, that the banks of the country
apply for additional currency when
a demand for it reaches them through
their customers. 1t is to the reserve
banks with their subsidiary offices
that the currency is returned when
the amount in circulation exceeds the
current demand. The Federal Re-
serve Bank of Atlanta, of which Hon.
M. B. Wellborn is governor, covers
the sixth federal reserve district, and
has proved a big agency in aiding
the agricultural interests of its terri
tory.

Word of what Farmer Browns Boy was doing had gone all over the Green Forest, and the little peo- pie of the Green Forest were quite upset. Those who dared came over to watch him, although they took great care to keep out of sight. Like Sammy Jay, when he first discover ed what Farmer Browns Boy was doing, they were much excited.
 If he is going to cut down all the Green Forest, Mrs. Lightfoot and l may as well move over to the Great Mountain" said Lightfoot the Deer, looking anxious and for getting that so long as this crust held and the snow was so deep he and Mrs. Lightfoot would have to stay in their yard.

They are not big enough for him to blVn, and 1t looks as if he were cutting them just for fun. What fun there can be in destroying beautiful things, I cannot understand. Why my grandfather planted some of those young trees. He hid the seeds in the ground and then forgot them"
 But if the little people of the Green Forest thought i'll and said ill of Farmer Browns Boy, he didn't know 1t, and he kept on with his work of cutting young tree here

 "Goodby, Prof." and he wrung his fathers hand and kissed his cheek. "Goodby. Mother" and Mollie clung to him with a brave smile.
 "Goodby. pals" and he passed out impartial kisses to the twins, one of whom. 1t was true, was nothing more than a pal but the other girl who shared with him that great secret that both had discovered that moonlit night beneath the elms.
 And so Jim Elwell went away.

Dicky Crashes into q Little Tea

 At my suggestion that we talk Of nothing more strenuous than the new hats while We drank the fresh cups of tea which were to replace the ones untouched because of our discussion of Mary Harrison, Lillian reached over and patted my shoul- der approvingly,

 For to us, long, careless talk of this kind was the forbidden fruit which it is to most busy women. l never knew a professional woman yet who did not thoroughly enjoy a tea drinking with her particular cro- nies, nor one whose conscience did not flagellate her for the time it stole from some piece of work which she was ambitious to perform. said nothing of this, of course, as I was presiding over my own table, and must give no hint that I had anything but ample leisure, but Lil- Han turned to us after a long minute of gazing at the panorama of hurry ing motor cars below us, and eX- claimed emphatically:

The present interest in slim, straight lines has resulted in a number of ingenious devices to luther accentuate the effect of slenderness and height. Chief among these is the use of rows of vertical lines occasioned by tucks, applied bands of material or con- trasting trimming.
 Sketched today is a mid winter coat of lacquer red duvetine that aptly illustrates this tendency to- ward vertical effects. Extending from the yoke to within five inches of the bolton are narrow tucks placed at rugular intervals on both the front and back. These call attention to the straight silhouette at the same time increasing the apparent height of the wearer. The only other trimming is a high col lar and deep cuffs Of natural ko- linsky-a fur with lovely golden brown cast. The lining is lacquer red crepe finished with two bands of yellow silk at the bottom:
 With this skirt coat is worn q simple felt hat In tone to harmonize with the fur.
 The slender silhouette of this lacquer red duyetine coat is accen- tuated by vertical rows of narrow tucks.

 he. You'd better leave one at the
 house and take the rest to the vil- lage. You have done a good job. The trees in there certainly did need thinning out badly. Next year we'll take few more out. By and by we'll have as fine a piece of wood land as there is anywhere around"
 Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns Boy went off toward the barn. Sammy Jay, and Happy Jack Squirrel, and Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and Peter Rabbit, and Jumper the Hare, and White foot the Wood Mouse watched them go. They were very much disturbed, these little people. They didn't un- derstand why these trees should have been cut, and they worried for fear more were going to be cut. They were still talking 1t over when Farmer Browns Boy returned with pair of horses dragging big wood sled. He loaded the young trees onto the sled, piling them up 1l ch inc har ytrifI rope. Then he drove off up to the barnyard and unhitched the horses and put them in the barn. The little people watching him from the edge of the Green Forest didn't un- dersAnd 1t yet.
 Early the next morning Sammy Jay was up in the Old Orchard as soon as 1t was daylight. He was there to watch that sledload of young trees. He hardly took time to get his breakfast for fear some thing might happen to those trees and he not know it. Finally Farm CT Browns Boy came out of the house and went to the barn. Pres entity he came out with two horses and hitched them to the sled. Then l he took one young spruce tree from | the sled and stood it in q corner close by the kitchen door. After | that he climbed up onto those trees | and started off. Sammy Jay watched | him head toward the village. Those | young trees were being carried | away, What did it mean?
 Sammy went to hunt up Peter Rabbit and Happy Jack Squirrel, | the Red Squirrel, and | Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, and | Jumper the Hare, to tell them what l he had seen. Now, of course, none | of these coud follow Farmer Browns Boy and those young trees. 'Houll have to do it, Sammy" said l Peter. You follow and see what is done with those trees. We ought to know.

 All the others said that Sammy should follow the trees and find out what became of them. This Sammy was quite willing to do. So he spread his blue wings and hurried until he was almost up with Farmer Browns Boy. Then he kept in the trees just 8 little ways back of the sledload

 Some persons are especially sunsi- tive to contact with toxic substances derived from plants. The poison ivy oak, and sumac may cause severe eruptions of the skin in persons susceptible.
 When mah-jong first became popular, many persons had erup- tions of the fingers and of the skin of the face from contact with the lacquer on the mah-jong boxes, due | to special sensitiveity that they possessed to poison in the lacquer which 1t was discovered had been made by utilizing the juices of cer- tain Japanese plants.
 Handling of Bulbs
 Now a British physician has dis covered eruptions on the hands of some persons from the handling of flower bulbs, and has given the name lilly rash" to this type of disturbance.
 It followed the cutting of the stems of the flowers, chiefly the narcissus, and from handling of bulbs of the hyacinth, daffodil, nar- cissus and tulip.
 An investigation was made in sev- eral establishments devoted to the sale of bulbs, and small propor- ton of packers and sorters of bulbs were found to be suffering from an eruption extending under the nail, where splitting of the skin cau"ed considerable pain.
 The longer the nails were worn, Moreover, the inflammation of the skin, which occurred after a few days work in handling the bulbs, was progressive until the worker began to use gloves.
 All the workers were inclined to blame the tulip bulbs. Some of the observers thought that the erup- tions were due to friction from the rough sides of the bulbs, and were ready to place the responsibility on the hyacinth, narcissus and daffodil.
 An investigation showed, however, that the tulip bulb is surrounded with single layered covering which spreads easily and that it holds a somewhat acrid juice. When this juice was applied to the skin under meath the finger nail it promtly pro- duced irritation, even without any breaking of the skin due to rubbing.
 The obvious suggestion is that persons who are 1Kely to handle tulip bulbs in any considerable num- bers ought to wear protective gloves.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
 To the home of Prof and Mollie Elwell in Camdenville, Ind, one night in October of 1898, comes Martha Dalton, a nurse, bearing a woman who had fainted on the train on which Martha had been travelling.
 Elwell is an artist. He has q son, Jim, aged ,. Late that night twin gi,ls are born to the woman, who dies without revealing her Aame. The Elwells adopt the girls.
 The story then moves forward IS years, The twins, now growing to beautiful womanhood, have been named Margaret and Elizabeth and nicllnamed Rusty and Betty.
 America enters the World War and Jim Elwell enlists. Two nights before he goes away he discovers that one of the twins loves him
New Britain herald., 1926-12-22

and he loves her. He tells his mother this. but does not tell her , which twin it is, as he wants her to love both girls equally while he is away.
 l The. day before he leaves, Jim takes the twins to Chicago for a good time. While dining at 3 hotel they are approached by q woman who says she has recognized the l ring Betty is wearing, diamond | that had been worn by the girls mother. Later, when they are alone, the woman holds the ring up to the light and announces that John Danvers, who she says is the | girls father, had changed the pie tures."
 NOW BEGIN THE STORY | CHAPTER NI
 Nina Kingsley handed the ring to { Betty. The girl held it as Nina had held it and looked through Q tiny hole in the setting against the light.
 "Oh, what a beautiful face," she exclaimed, turning eYcitedly to the woman. "Who is tour mother?"
 "Yes, that's the picture of your mother" replied Nina Kingsley, but when I saw the ring last it held the picture of your father, Jack Dan vers."
 Jim got his question out at last. And what became of-er-Mr. Dan vers?" he asked.
 Rusty had looked at the picture and now Jim himself was examining | it. The picture, ofNa beautiful wo- man, was inlaid behind a magnifi- cent glass in the deep setting. Do you know where Mr. Danvers is now?"
 "Why-my goodness," the woman exclaimed, seemingly surprised at the question, didn't you know? Why, John Danvers has been dead nearly twenty years. He was killed in New York in street accident in October of 1S9S.'
 "The month the girls were born, !" said Jim in low voice.
 "Killed!" the girls echoed in uni son, and then Betty added, as she turned to Jim, That, perhaps, was the reason why Prof didn't get any answers to his advertisements in the newspapers"
 Probably, Jim Elwell agreed. At the moment he was studying Nina Kingsley very closely.
 DO you mind telling us, Miss Kinksley," Jim asked pointedly, "Just how you came to know my name?"
 The woman whose fame In the theatrical Armament had failed to reach these benighted ones from h. diana laughed softly and permitted herself another graceful shrug of the shoulders.
 Why, l asked the waiter" she confessed with fine naivete.
 "Hm-m," said Jim Elwell to him. self. He looked at the woman keen ly and her eyes, after a brief en- counter with his own dropped.
 And can you tell LIS where the relatives of our mother may be found?" Betty asked, her eyes bright with unshed tears.
 Nina Kingsley replied slowly that she was awfully. awfully sorry. That is something I really cannot tell"
 She's a liar" Jim Elwell told himself and even then hc felt the positive accuracy of his snap judg- ment. "She knows, all right. There's some reason-some personal reason why she won't tell, and if l didn't have to get these kids back to Cam denville early tonight, I'd ask a hell of a lot of questions"
 However, that might have been hard thing 10 do, even if Jim had had the time. Nina Kingsley an- nounced that, sorry as she was, she had to leave, She was taking the
