make synthetic rubber boots out of
nothing but just soil and oxygen
from a real estate sales talk. With
Hoover's influence, chances are he
will get it patented. (Shows you

EXN|C|OS STARTED
CHARACTER LOANS
Washington Banker Was One
of First to Try Out
New Plan.

Joseph T. Exnicios, president Of the
Departmental Bank, has the distinc-
ton OF being one of the pioneers of
the country in establishing so-called
character loans and placing such loans
on reputable banking basis. Many
years ago, before most bankers thought
OF the idea, to say nothing of giving
serious consideration to making such
loans, the Washington banker visualized
the need among people of limited means
Of obtaining small sums of money,
using their past records for honesty and
integrity instead Of high-class stocks
and bonds as collateral.
Came Here in 1890.
Born in New Orleans and educated in
the public schools there, Mr.. Exnicios
came to the National Capital in 1890.
His FIRST position was in the Adjutant
Generals Office, in the War Department,
where he was employed until 1907, when
he resigned and organized the Society
OF Savings and Loans It was a trying
experience that turned his attention to
the problem of personal loans. Shortly
after he reached Washington, and be-
fore he had enjoyed more than one of
two Government pay days, he received
word that his mother was very i'll in
New Orleans
He had insufficient funds with which
to make the trip although he felt he
must go at once. The difficulty he had
In securing money for the trip brought
the small loan problem to his mind sc
wildly that he never could forget it
He realized that hundreds of other
Government clerks were in the same
position and could get little aid from
their banks without co-signers or gooc
collateral. 1t is the man of ordinary
means and not the millionaire who most
needs help, he kept saying to himself
and as soon as he got firmly established
as a banker, character loans became
numerous in his bank.
Long before Charles E. Mitchell ano
the National City Bank entered the
small loan field. Mr.. Exnicios was &C.
commodating his depositorS in thai
way. He has continued to make such
loans for years and many other Wash.
ington banks are now doing likewise.

new JERSEY FIGHTS
EUROPEAN CORN PEST
Plan to Combat Borer Consists of
Creating Thick-stalked, Short.
Season Variety.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. R>.--
Hundreds of miles from the great corn
belt, New Jersey is perfecting a plan
to defeat the European corn borer.
1t consists simply of creating a
thick-stalked short-season variety of
corn. An extensive test of more than
10 strains of standard corn varieties
was begun at the New Jersey Agri-
cultural Experiment Station In 1928.
The strains under test are from. all
parts of the corn-growing sections of
the country. .t
BY the time the corn borer invasion
is serious in New Jersey officials be-
lieve their tests will be far enough
along to make definite recommended
tons of varieties resistant to the pest
or else of so short a season as to make
attacks unlikely.
DR.. H B. Sprague, agronomist at the
experiment station, believes late plant
ing, too, will prevent injury. Adult
borers will be forced to lay their eggs
before corn comes up. In that, short
season strains will be beneficial.
Corn is one of the New Jersey
farmers most important field crops.
1t has an annual value of about So
10000.

RED|SCOUNT RATE
RAISE IS DOUBTED
Big Cut in Brokers' Loans
Alters Situation on
Credit.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpalCQ 10 Inc 5taEs
NEW YORK, June 1.-The. record
decrease in brokers' loans, so much
larger than had been expected, again
throws into doubt the question of an
advance in the bank rates.
If the motive for raising the redis-
count rates was to bring about liquida-
ton in the stock market the events of
the week have gone a long way toward
that end. If it was to reduce the
amount of credit absorbed in specu-
lation. the loan figures released after
the close Friday would indicate that,
too, had been accomplished, in part at
least.
Reserve Ratio.
Study of the condition statement of
the reserve system makes it more plain
than ever that there is no reason for a
higher rate in the situation of the
reserve banks themselves The New
York banks reserve ratio Is at the
highest of the year and 1872 points
higher than a year ago. For the sys-
tenn as a whole the reserve ratio Is
down a point and half from where
it was last week, which, however, was
the high point of the year, and yet 1t
is more than points higher than
1t was at the corresponding date of
1928 Gold reserves are slightly lower
than they were week ago, when
they were at the highest of the year
There has been an increase in re-
discounts for the IL banks which
amounts to $83,786,oO0 on the week
bringing the total to 1898, 1874 900, com
pared with $943, 791 900 on May 30, 1923
The increase has been partially Offset
by selling Of acceptance holdings, the
total for which is at the lowest in
many years, and by disposal of Gov
eminent securities SO that total hold
ings of bills and securities are only
about $55,000000 up on the week, and
this at the month end.
Commercial Paper.
Advocates of an increase in the dis
count rate from 5 to per cent base
their case on the rates for commercial
paper, which are full l per cent
above the bank rate. This, they say, Is
an illogical situation. Some light will
be thrown on the situation by the
course of money rates next week. If the
first of the month requirements are
met without any more strain than
has already been experienced, it would
seem that any change in the bank rate
could be postponed still further.
