MARINE CORPS NOTES

Conjecture Is rife throughout Marine
Corps circles as to which of the six
brigadier generals will be appointed a
major general. Brig Gen. Logan Fe-
land, who at present commands the pa
cihcatory expedition now on duty in
Nicaragua, will, according to the con-
Sensus of opinion in corps circles, be the
logical officer for promotion by reason
of his long years of active duty and
further in especial on account of the
efficiency shown in his handling of the
delicate situation In Nicaragua, where,
instead of the Marines being held in
antipathy by the law-abiding native
element, they have, on the contrary, be-
come immensely popular. However, un-
less the pending personnel bill becomes
law there will be no vacancy.
Col. John Twiggs Myers. at present
attached to Corps Headquarters, is the
senior colonel of the corps on the ac-
tive list, and in hte event that a va
cancy exists as the outcome Of pending
legislation It Is generally expected that
Col Myers would be promoted to brig
adler general.
The Marines attached to the battle
ship feet have new aSpirant for ma
tlona1 flStic hOnorS In Sergt. Harry
Conner of the Marine detachment of
the U. S. S. Maryland. It is likely that
Conner when transferred ashore from
the Maryland will be ordered to one of
the corps training stations, where his
prowess will be given more opportunity
to show itself before civilian audiences.
One of the New York promoters, having
heard of Conner, is already endeavoring
to get him signed up in several prelim-
mary events scheduled months ahead.

Quantico, Va, respectively, will. 1t is
stated. be the largest in the history Of
the corps during peace times. The
building up of an adequate Marine
Corps reserve has been one of the pet
hobbies of Mai. Gen. John A. Lejeune,
who has made every endeavor to arouse
the interest of the corps collectively to
the task of helping in every manner the
attainment of the goal sought.
Chief Marine Gunner Elmo Reagan,
now on duty in Haiti, is scheduled for
assignment to duty at Quantico. Va.
The following commissioned officers OF
the corps, heretofore on duty In China,

DR.. Nichols sanctuary is o large

her hobby.
my feathered friends need fresh air
and plenty of sunshine to grow strong,
just like children" DR.. White says.
They sleep in the open on the coolest
nights, and no morning is too bracing
to keep, them from their baths. Like
children, they fuss and fight, kiss and
make up,. snatch food from each other
and later share choice morsels.
Like children, too. their voices must
be trained. When q class II ready, I
bring an expert songster from. New
York. If not trained they will choose
their own notes, slur them and gener-
ally follow the line of least resistance
Music is another method Of training.
They will follow notes carefully and ac-
curately."

Life Appears and Disappears.

During last Summer jellyflsh were
noticed swimming about in the huge
fresh-water tank which houses the
large Victoria Regia lily in the Botanic
Gardens, Regents Park. and the prob
lem is where they come from. They
we're first observed in 1880 and their
appearance was a mystery.
For three years they inhabited the
tank, and then, in 1883. they disap-
peared as suddenly as they had come.
It was thought at first that the drain
ing Of the tank for six months in the
year explained the mystery, for no
jellyflsh like being out of water.
Now. after an absence of IS years,
the jellyfish are once more swimming
in the tank in which they were first

EARLY ACTION SEEN
ON BANK SITUATION
Study in Prospect After HoIi-
days May Include Probe of
Credit Conditions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
After more than year of discus
sion in Congress, it appeared at the
Capitol today that study of the bank
ing situation, with particular reference
to the use of Federal Reserve facilities
in the speculative markets, is in pros
pect after the Christmas recess.
The Senate banking committee has
agreed to take up for consideration the
King resolution proposing a widespread
inquiry into credit conditions at its first
meeting after the holidays, probably
early in January. At that time it is
believed preliminary hearings will be
held with reference to the resolution,
which must be acted upon by the Sen
ate before an inquiry could be under
taken.
If such hearings are ordered Chair
man Norbeck of the banking committee
intends to call officers of the Federal
Reserve Board to determine their views
Full Study Is Warranted.
Leaders of both parties in the Senate
have been hesitant to do anything
which would tend to disturb what ap-
pcared to be a recent delicate situation
In the business world. However, there
Is feeling that study of the situa-
tion would be warranted after the holi-
days and there is prospect that such
a study will be sanctioned by the bank
ing committee, subject to the approval
Of the Federal Reserve Board and pos
sibly with the cooperation of the
board.
No particular remedial legislation is
pending, but Senator Glass of Virginia,
former Democratic Secretary of the
Treasury. who was instrumental in the
enactment of the Federal Reserve act,
has been working on a banking bill.
The nature of this, however, has never
been announced and Glass is not GER
tain that he will present it in January.
Meanwhile financial circles today
were interested in the Norbeck resolu-
ton to enable State bank members of
the Federal Reserve system to establish
branches in foreign countries and in
Sular possessions of the United States.
The opinion was expressed in several
quarters that a number of the larger
State banks would avail themselves of
such an opportunity the moment Con-
gress enacted the necessary legislation.
As a result of committee approval the
Sorbeck measure today was on the
Ienate legislative calendar, but there
was no indication of when its conSid-
veration might be expected.
National banks now have authority
for such branches, but State banks do
not unless they are non-members of
the Reserve system and their respective
State laws permit it.

Endorsed by Reserve Board.

The Norbeck measure would apply to
State banks with a capital of 81 900 900
or more. It was indorsed by the Fed
eral Reserve Board. No official, how
ever, would indicate what banks were
awaiting passage of the law to take
advantage of it.
Regarding the credit situation, both
Senator Glass and Senator Fletcher
of Florida, the ranking Democrat on
the banking committee, have expressed
favor toward a congressional study of
the credit situation with view to the
preparation of any remedial legisla-
ton which might seem necessary.
The Virginia Senator has complained
strongly on several occasions of the use
of Federal Reserve facilities in the
speculative markets, and if an investi-
cation is undertaken there is no doubt
the relations between the stock ex-
changes and the reserve system will be
gone into.
Senator King, Democrat of Utah, au-
thor of the investigating resoltion has
been absent from the Capitol because
of illness. He introduced the measure
last Spring at time when there was
considerable agitation over the increased
amount of brokers' loans by the New
York Federal Reserve Member Banks.
