MT. Rousseau to come to see him.
 Meantime, a letter with a copy of the plan had been mailed to Gov ornor Strong, of the Federal Re- serve Bank in New York, and on July 12, Deputy Governor George I. Harrison acknowledged the letter, saying he was doing so for the mo- ment a Governor Strong was out Of town and greatly occupied. but that he would bring it Uhe plan) to his attention as soon as it was possible 10 do so.'
 "On my reaching New York in August l wrote Mr. Harrison, who on his return from vacation wrote me in sSeptemoer, saying that Re latlve 10 a continental reserve and redlscount banking corporation, ] am quite sure that you will appreci- ate the reasons which make this proposal one in which we could not officially take any active interest Gt this time
 Mellon Informed
 Early in October I wrote Mr. Mellon, saying, among other things. that l had received word from Mr. polan that he had had an interview with MT. Mellon in Paris after l had left and had discussed the subject with him. Later l went to Washing ton and was turned over by Mr. Mellon 10 Roy A. Young. Govern or Of the Federal Reserve Board, to whom l explained the plan and it's advantages as l saw it. 1 left the documents with him, and on my re- turn from the south l saw him again. He took the attitude that he had lately become the head of the Federal Reserve Board, that his banking experiences in the West had not made him familiar with Euro pcan conditions and that he had not had time since his induction into of- flee to familiarize himself with them, and therefore did not like to express an opinion regarding the plan.
 During these visits in Washing ton l had many conferences With Senator Robert l.. Owen. It will be recollected that Senator Owen took charge of the proposed Federal Re serve act in the Senate and led the forces which bl ought about it's en- actment. Among other things, Sen ator Owen wrote me:
 There are a few weak spots in the plan which ultimately will be developed and corrected in all hu- man probability. Your chief imme- diate objective and it's value to Eu- rope you will find difficult to get into the minds of those who will not easily understand. There is q vast force developed here. Our own lead ing bankers do not fully appreciate it
 If comparison is made with the names of the gentlemen who were members of the Young Committee in Paris, it will be seen that very many of them had had the plan un- der consideration and had had time to think of it since the spring or 1927"

Frank J. Dolan, Born ir This City, Father of Many Features Adopted at Baden-Baden Confer ence-IntervieWed Many World Leaders.

The international bank plan which came out of the conference at Haden-Baden after the Young com mittee had outlined it's scheme has been found to be in fundamental structure, at least, the plan ad Nanced by Frank J. Dolan, a native of this city, in 1927.
 Pelham Manor. x. Y, has made q study of Dolan's campaign in the interest of this financial organiZL ton, and of the Young plan, and has published the results of his in- quiry, giving much credit to Dolan.
 Frank J. D0lan was born in the Central House on East Main street, which occupied the site later taken over for IIAnna's Armory, and no" used for manufacturing purposes by 1anders, Frary &s Clark. His father, Peter c. Dolan, and his uncle, Pat rick Dolan, came to New Britain and started the first horse car system, later going to Pittsfield, and event. ually selling out to railroad inter eSts. These pioneers of street railway activities are both dead. MT. DOlan went to France during the war and remained there for some years after the Armistice, taking a French girl as his bride.
 Speaking of Dolan's efforts in be half of an international Dank, Mr. Allen has traced the story as fol- lows:

Millinery Modes for Winter Moods
by Arrangement
The Hat Must Com
pLement the Winter
Ensemble

nF course, much Importance has
" always been placed on the
proper hat as a complement to the
general ensemble. But this sea-
son demands not only that it be a
smart essential of the whole. but
that 1t be so individual that 1t
occupy place entirely alone.
The change from the stiff brim
TO the softly draped bOnnets,
comes at time when ones whole
thought is occupied with feminin-
ity. With gowns adopting a softer,
more feminine line. 1t would in
deed be out of place to top the
ensemble by a mannish Chapeau.
Therefore. the draped turbans and
fehs are more fttingly designed to
frame the face than simply to be
just hat.
The two hats shown are marked
examples of this new millinery
mode. To be well gowned, ones
hat must not only complement
the gown, but match it in every
detail. The gray felt from Raboux
has two felt wings, which softly
frame the face, and enhance the
general effectiveness of a costume
consisting of grey crepe dress,
and a coat Of darker grey trimmed
with matching fox.
The Agnes turban of knitted
brown wool shows tiny flares at
either side to relieve the other
wise severe effect.
Velvet seems to be most popular
for this season, and is shown in
all styles of draped and flared
effects. Ears are more closely
covered, but the brow Ia exposed
and adds a charm not seen for a
long time.
Soft felts are used for general
wear, but these too, show q dis
position toward drapings and
intricate treatment.
Close fitting caps Of lace and
metallic cloths are used for dinner
and evening.
It's in the bag that you will
often find means of adding a
new note to a costume that has
seen better days, but is still on
duty. Even the plainest evening
frocks will perk up when you
accompany it with one of the
new silver or gold kid bags.
