BIG PROFITS MADE
BY FEDERAL BANKS
Twelve Institutions Together Show
Million a Month Increase
for Six Months.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

Special Dispatch to The Sta and North
American Newspaper Alliance.
NEW YORK, September 13.-Only
three times in 80 years has the rate
for long time money been quoted at
7 per cent: in October. 1907 August
1914. and Midsummer of 1920. World
wide money stringency in each case
was the cause But this week. when
money in New York was quoted at Z
per cent. the London rate was Al per
cent and Paris ga per cent.
Some people ascribe the high rate to
the loss of S7O0.000000 in gold during
the last year. but this is only one-third
of the amount of gold the United States
has added TO its pile since 1920. The
United States still has a huge surplus
of gold left Basic credit conditions
do not warrant any such figure as at
present quoted
The II Federal Reserve Banks to-
gethnr made a million dollars month
for the first six months of this year over
what they did year ago. How? 4
year ago the total rediscounts of all
the Federal Reserve Banks were less
than $450,000,000 No they stand at
81 1000. 100000. or more than double
those of last year. These IL banks
in 1923, will show the largest net profits
of any year since the deflation year
of 1921
The Federal Reserve Banks are not
organized and operated for the purpose
of making profits, but as the Federal
Reserve act says. the discount rate
shall be. determined with view tc
accommodating commerce and bust
ness"
Federal Reserve officials have not al
wavs been in agreement on the inter
probation of this quoted clause. but bust
ness service. and not profits, was what
Congress had in mind when the ACT
was passed.

l5.-One of my most loyal fol-
lowers here in my training

sPants" Is a typical native of the
Aiirondacks, a tall wellbuilt, red

it is safe to wager that he has

NV acquaintance with Pants

preparing for the first Dempsey
fight in Philadelphia He often
joined me in daily joys through the
mountainous country and increased
my knowledge of woodcraft consider
ably.
If there is anything that has tran
apired in these parts since Pants
won his nickname by doffing his
baby skirts, 1t is of slight import
ance. From the last panther, shot
in the Adirondacks, to the New York
CIubman, who always buys his deer
in the fall hunts, every happening
is included in the repertoire of
Pants" a general store, nightly
taIk-fests.

| LACROSSE CLUBS
RATED ASEVEN

In some quarters there is a dis
position to rate Navy and Hopkins
as favorites over Maryland and
Army in the semi-final Olympic
lacrosse selection matches which be-
gin at o'clock tomorrow after
noon at the Central High stadium,
The four contenders should be
rated on d $3.50 basis.
Indeed Maryland win have the
edge on Navy as "Art" Spring, the
best player on the Navy twelve,
will be on the sideIines. Spring s.
the chap who gave. the Old Liners
so much trouble in the game at
College Park, Md, more than q
month ago.
II Is safe TO say that Jack
Fabers Maryland coach, would
rather Spring be present az d
spectator rather than . par
ticipant.
One point advanced for the choice
OF Navy over Maryland is that the
Navy has more material to draw
from and that George F'inIayson,
the coach is older and more ex-
perienced than Jack Faber, the
youngest lacrosse mentor in the
country. who but only last year
was Ii member Of the College Park
twelve. These factors didn't help
Navy. in losing to Maryland earlier
in the season.
Also, judging by the few si1bsti-
tutions in q lacrosse game, reserve
material il of little consequences.
Hardly ever are more than three
requirements during the course Of
the game.
No one picked Maryland as
favOrite over Hopkins, though
the latter had suffered two
losses and Maryland had not
tasted defeat. Hopkins, new
ertheIess, trampled the Terra
pins by 3 stunning 81 count.
The Central stadium hasn't been
packed for 4 sports event in years,
but the outlook augurs that it win
be taxed tomorrow. Not only Is
there an unusual amount Of In
terest here, but delegations Of Bal.

cowboy atmosphere, and some very interesting details of actual picture making are embodied in the pro. gress of the plot, feature which is sure to prove an attraction to the millions who have never seen company shooting.
 A desperate struggle or the face of a precipice, q thrilling fight in The aisle of a Pullman car, and some superb horsemanship and delightful romance are added fea- lures of the film. Tyler gives a splendid characterization of tn ? movie mad cowboy, and demon strates his horsemanship and his fighting prowess to marvellous ad- vantage. Doris Hill makes an adorable heroine and handles ner role superbly.

THE GIRL FROM RIO"
 AT PALACE SUNDAY

In making "The Girl From Rio. !" at the Palace Sunday, neither trouble nor expense was consider ed so long as the Spanish atmos- phere which forms the background
 of this glamorous, ravlshing tale
 of old Spain. was done full jus
 tlce. The producers decided that
 in order to represent most effec-
 lively the colorfui atmosphere of Spain, Technicolor would accomp- | fish this purpose best and so the entire sequence taken in the Cafe l del Rio was photographed in
 color-the first time that this pro- \ cess has been employed in an in- dependent feature production. The gorgeous cloth of gold dress
 which Carmel Myers as The Girl
 From Rio' wears in this sequence,
 was especially made for her at a
 cost said to approximate $2,500,
 while all the extras used in the 1 scenes are natives of South Ameri- , ca.
 Tom Ferris. the director, was a l good one to be at the helm, for
 he is recognized as one of the fore most authorities on Spanish GUS toms and atmosphere having filmed the only American film
 made entirely in Spain, "The Ban 1 dolero."
 There will be a prologue by the dancing pupils of Harriet Holman.

FINE FEATURE IS
 SHOWING, PALACE

Without doubt one of the great est historical Western. pictures ever. made. .4s.s
 Winners of the Wilderness makes good the promise of Louis B. Mayer, head of the Metro-Gold- wyn- Mayer studio, that he would give to picturegoers new type oflhistcrical Western.
 This picture, which opened last night at the Palace Theatre. with Tim Mccoy in the starring role, and Joan Crawford as the featured feminine lead, sets a standard for other producers of historical Vest erns to go by.
 It has all the. good characteris- ties ofs a. great feature picture, and at the same time it offers a historical romance such as has sell dom been seen on the screen. The film tells the story of the bat fle between English and French for supremacy in what, was then tie wilderness but now comprises the Middle Western and Middle Atlantic States.
 The story is an original from the pen of Peter B. Kyne, and brings into the plot. such historical fig- tires as Major. George Washington. Gtheral Braddock, Generals Gage and Gates and Governor Dinwid- die. head Of the colony of Virginia ins 1755.

views when they adopted plank in their state platform last month endorsing the Houston platform, rigid enforcement of the 18th Amendment, and the Party's Ma tional Ticket.
 Local issues. including two state constitutional amendments, promise to figure, h addition to Senator Curtis candidacy, in bringing out a heavy vote in No vember. Farm. champions head both major party tickets as the gubematorial nominees.
 Freight Rates r Reed waged his pre-primary campaign largely as an opponent |of increased freight rates on ag- ricultural production. Chauncey B. Little, the nominee of the Dem- oerats, who seeks to return to power in the state government af- ter four years of Republican ad- ministration, is former Represen- tative ins Congress, where he SUD- ported the McNary- Haugen bill. E The largest vote ever cast in a Kansas primary was polled in Au- gust due to contests between' six men on the Republican aud three on the Democratic ballots for the |gubernatorial nominations, and large fields of. candidates for the Party nominations for other state offices, the Legislature and Con- gross as well as local fights. Agriculturail Issues
 The agricultural issue has been carried into the state and congress. sional campaigns by both parties. Incorporation of a. plank in the Democratic platform at the State party councils in August endorsing the McNary- Haugen bill or. simi- lar agrieultural1fegislation resulted. in Ava Sweezey threatening to withdraw from the party ticket as a. candidate for Congress on the ground the controversial measure had no place. in a Democratic plat form. He said the bill was based on Republican theories of a pro- tective tariff. ise
 The Republican state platform faccepts at it's full face value the declaration of the National Party and our nominee for President that immediate and complete considera- tion will be given and an ade- quate remedy sought and made ef- fective' in relation to agriculture.
 Of the five Republican and one Democratic Representatives from Kansas who are candidates for re- election all except one, Rep. w. II. Sproul. were nominated without opposition, while the latter won the, Republican nomination from two opponents.
 The four other Republican Con- gressmen, Rep. U. s. Guyer. Rep. Homer Hoch. Rep. Jas. G. Strong. and Rep. Clifford Hope. as we'll as the lone Democratic. incumbent. Rep w. A. Ayers, have fights on thefr hands in the fall campaign. "Dirt Farmers"
