statues are cleaned, for the removal OF
the starlings. But if they continue to
roost on buildings don't believe any
thing short of their complete eradica-
ton will solve the problem"
Clippers Continue Work.
Meanwhile Clifford L. Lanham's stall
saws, continued moving west along
Pennsylvania avenue In their campaign
to remove the small twigs from the
topmost branches of the trees and thus
take away the roosting places of the
starlings. The trees between Ninth
and Twelfth streets have been denudeu
of their small branches, and worlmen
were continuing today to strip the trees
between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets.
This stripping of the small branches
is claimed to be the most efficacious
method vet devised for forcing the
starlings to forsake the trees for other
roosting places. 1t has been effective
without any doubt, but 1t has simply
driven the birds to other roosting places.
On the lodges outside the fifth floor
windows Of the District Building have
stood-night and day..rows Of smudge
pots, which poured forth odoriferous
smoke toward the Offices Of the Com
missioners.
Smudge Pots Removed.
The smudge pots were ordered re-
moved today by the Commissioners, who
said the odors distributed from their
reeking contents were offensive to Of
fetal noses. Possibly these noses would
rather have the starlings than the
smoke pots.
But the starslngs continued to roost
above the snaNdge pots and on other
lodges Of the District Building, and be-
cause of their numbers spread to other
structures. Something really effective
may be done about them, but so far
the starlings have won the battle. Every
post has been o winning one for the
birds to date and the next move is up
to the official agencies charged with
their suppression.
Mr.. Shaw believes their eradication is
o matter for the District Government,
and not one for the business men of the
Capital to pursue.
Among the suggestions for elimina-
ton Of the starlings which reached the
District Building today was the delivery
Of five toy kittens to be tied to the
tree tops to scare the birds away.

CONGRESS OFFERED
BANKING MEASURES
Bills introduced in Both Sen.
ate and House to Modify
Existing System.

A number Of bills relating to the
banking laws OF the country were in
troduced when Congress reconvened
yesterday, and the House banking COM
mittee asked permission to hold hear
ings during the session of the House
instead OF in the mornings only, indi-
eating that banking problems would
receive considerable attention
On the Senate side, Senator Brook
hart. Republican, Iowa, offered bills to
create a new Federal Reserve cooper
alive banking system, which would in
clude the Federal intermediate credit
banks, and to prohibit short selling on
exchanges by forbidding use of the
mails to communications having to do
with orders and payments.
He also proposed legislation to license
corporations engaged in interstate COM
merce, under which the concerns would
be limited to earnings of per cent on
the capital investment. Excess profits
would be turned over to the Treasury.
Establishment or acquisition of
branches by national banks within the
geographical limits of the Federal re-
serve districts in which the parent inSti-
tutions were located would be authorized
under a measure offered by Representa-
tive Beedy, Republican, Maine, who said
it was intended "only as basis for in
vestigation of branch banking"
Chairman McFaddeu of the House
banking committee, proposed to transfer
entire responsibility for examination of
Federal Reserve and member banks and
affiliated concerns to the controller Of
currency.
His measure would require the con-
troller Of currency to examine such
a V0llI0
empower him to cause special examina-
tions when he deemed them necessary.
The Senate got start on bank legis-
lation with passage of the George bill to
authorize receivers of national banking
associations to compromise individual
shareholders liability either before or
after Judgment is rendered.

PARIS, May "a woman's per-

her choice Of hats.
Her clothes may be indicative OF

her hats stamp her personality

q thousand different angles at
which the same shape car be worn.

This seasons hats, besides being
more elaborate than al any time

The new spring fashions, as well

the need for larger hat shapes
