MELLON AGAINST
 NEW BANK BAN
Believes They Should Be Al,
 lowed to Invest in Bonds

Washington, June 25 Lp-Secre-
 tary Mellon today told the house committee on banking and currency that he believed 1t against public policy 10 adopt the house resolution designed 10 prohibit federal reserve. national and state banks from in vesting in German reparation bonds or other certificates issued pursu- ant to the new plan to settle Ger many's war debts.
 The secretary said that under the present laws federal reserve banks have no authority to purchase such securities and that the resolution in so far as they are concerned was meaningless. National banks. he said. are limited 10 purchasing se- curities that are marketable" under rules issued by the comptroller of the currency.
 T believe both congress and the comptroller Of the currency showed sound judgment and wisdom in dealing with such legislation" MT. Mellon said. They recognize that while national banks are instrument tallties Of the federal government, they are operated by private capital and by their officers and directors elected by their stockholders. The government does not undertake to manage the banks. and the wisdom Of placing upon them the responsi- b1llty for their investments. with proper safeguards, cannot be ques- tioned, There IS, in my opinion, no more reason for congress 10 say that q national bank should rot purchase a reparation bond than to say that lt should not purchase specific or industrial bond To do so would place our government directly in the banks management. l. is unsound and unnecessary.

It was just such talk as this, Pat
amusedly confided to Rex one
moonlight night as they stood very
close together In q secluded place
on the top deck while the steamer
ploughed through the waters ada
cent to Bermuda-such talk as
this that frequently leads young
and romantic souls to the altar.
"Ah-h, the atari" repeated Rex
softly, the sentimental heart OF him
leaping at the connecting thought.
That word has a Tilt and a rhythm
that fairly sings Of romance. I've
always had a sort OF vague hope
that I'd some day meet you and
'twould be the altar for US! How
about it?"
Il wonder echoed Pat from a
spot close to the place where he
wore his fountain pen, when he
wore a vest. Ma
Back in New York. at police head
quarters, it was learned that the
wireless report sent out by Banks,
Of the yachts sinking, had been
published by the newspapers, with
the added news" that the Blue
birds new owner and her guests,
with the captain and first mate,
had gone down with the yacht.
The two prisoners. now under
government Jurisdiction, had been
taken from the fruit steamer
straight to jail. Pat and her friends
also learned from Sergeant Kelly
that Madame Leclerc and Jean
Bouchard were still among the
missing. No clue of any description
had the police obtained, either Of
them or Of Herbert Maxwell. 1t was
just as If. to use the well worn
smile. "the earth had opened up
and swallowed them"

A man had come to him, Bill
said, three days before at the

Blair had returned home as yet.
He had. apparently. not seen the
newspaper report. Upon being told
that she had not yet returned the
man, who gave his lame Is William

told Perkins he had some very i'm

him up as soon as possible. Bill
fished a slip Of paper out Of a pocket

The Once Over
PADLoCKING THE BIG HOTELS
BY Il. I. PHILLIPS

Copyright. 1880, by The Associated Newspapers)
Before choosing q hotel In which to stop In q big
city you'd better inquire In advance and see II its
padlocked.
Prohibition enforcement chiefs are now proceeding
against the big hotels and In New York the padlocking
OF several OF the largest hostelries is threatened as g.
means of stopping the liquor traffic through bell
hops and porters.
This is a lot like stopping a leak in the kitchen
sink by removing all the plumbing in the house.
The concern OF the hotel men is. however. nothing
as compared to the nervousness Of the tourists. No
guest wants to wake up in the morning to find he
can't get out Of the hotel because it has been pad
locked for two years.
A 20 Not Disturb" sign on your door may keep you
in a hotel room for the period Of federal court order.
II the padlocking drive is carried through, a guest
NAV phone for breakfast in his room and get an ans
wer from a United States Marshal informing MIN
that he can't cook or run an elevator but viii take
the matter I'D with Washington and see If he can
get him a soft-boiled egg and a cup Of coffee by 1882
You may phone down to the desk to ask what
time it is and get a reply from a cop saying ! don't
know: I'm a stranger here myself"
You may even call down for a bell-hop and get a
locksmith.
Nervous ladies are already looking under the hotel
beds to see If there Is a Coast Guardsman, a Pro
hIbition Agent or a crusading bishop there. It's all
highly unnerving.
How long do you expect to be with usg asks the
hotel clerk on Manhattan Island these days.
IT don't know" the well informed guest replies-
everything depends on the government"
The enforcement chief also threatens to arrest
hotel and restaurant and night-club proprietors VINO
allow ginger ale or other soft drinks to be served
when they are to be used in making highballs. TINS
is like holding a hotel management responsible LOT
nightmare in Room ass because the hotel furnished
the pillows and sheets.
The only solution would seem to be a warning on
each ginger ale bottle sold: mot to be opened tl
