certain organization. You lost your
wife six months ago. Her death de-

now out Of the power of this group. Am
I right SO far?"
Page Sutton nodded
Very WELL" Roscoe continued. Prior

endeavoring to. obtain information

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 29.-There is
reason to believe that the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York has changed
its easy money policy. 1t is no longer
intent upon forcing rates down but now
aims rather to stabilize them around
current low levels.
It is understood that no further cut
in the discount rate here is contem-
plated unless the Bank Of England
should make another reduction and
lower its rate.
The attitude of the New York Reserve
Bank is said to be that, with money
rates where they are, business has no
cause to complain of high money.
Rates. it is held, are sufficiently cheap
for all legitimate purposes.
Cheap Money and Speculation.
The further point is made that
should money rates be forced to still
lower levels, the excessively cheap
money that would be created might
prove to be an evil rather than bene-
At to the community. 1t is commented
that cheap credit would perhaps cause
another orgy of speculation on the
Stock Exchange, with a possible repe-
tition of last Autumn's debacle. Again,
1t might also cause speculation in COM
modities, with all of the evils naturally
incidental to that form of gambling.
Bankers also contend that there is
really no occasion for further cut in
the discount rate here, because of the
evident lack of demand for Federal Re-
serve credit. They call attention to
the fact that member banks are not
borrowing from the Federal Reserve
banks. That is true of the entire sys-
tenn. Latest statistics on member bank
borrowings show that they total but
So, 100000. A year ago the member
bank borrowings aggregated the siz-
able sum of $7l1 100000 There then
was real demand for Reserve credit.
British Rate.
An interesting corollary of the new
policy is that the New York Reserve
Bank no longer maintains differen-
tial between It's discount rate and that
of the Bank of England. Both banks
now discount at 312 per cent and have
done so far two weeks, yet no change Is
contemplated here. That is decided
reversal of the policy, long pursued, of
maintaining a differential of u of
per cent in favor of the Bank of Eng
land, with the object of aiding the
London bank to conserve its gold re-
serves. The Bank of England, as re-
suit, has succeeded in accommodating the
largest gold reserves in several years.
Evidently the New York bank no longer
sees the Bank of England requiring its
help to that extent.
The change of policy of the New York
bank is indicated not alone by its de-
cision not to lower the discount rate,
but in other directions as well. For
weeks the bank had assumed the ag-
gressive in forcing rates down in the

BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 29.-An

Petrol Tin Invaluable
to Rhodesian Settler

One of the most generally used ar
ticles in the rural homes Of Rhodesia
is the petrol tin. Petrol and coal oil
are sold in most parts of Africa In
tins containing four gallons apiece.
These tins are the settlers best
friends, for he puts them to hum
dred uses. In Rhodesia, tins are sawn
asunder with can opener, beaten fiat
and used as rain-proof roofs for small
sheds and lean-tos. With little
manipulation a settler will make gut
tering, and some spouting may be
made from them to carry precious rain
water from roof to water tank.
With holes punched In the sides and
a few blazing logs within the tin, the
settler has an excellent brazier by
which ne may smoke his pipe and
read his mOnth-old home news on Bit
ter July nights. he fits tin into a
loose cage of mosquito wire netting
and Oils the space between with char
coal which he keeps wet. Behold his
dairy safe, where his butter will not
turn to oil nor his jug of milk sour In
the torrld November days. From a
tin he makes camp oven for the
! Sunday roast. In 1t his bread ana
cereals are stored from insect pests.

Monster Cake Baked to
Order of Polish King

A remarkable performance by bak-
cry In 1870 Is exhibited by an old
drawing of that time. 1t was the
baking, for the king of Poland, OF an
immense cake or loaf, by the master
baker Zacharius of Dresden, in an
oven at Zeithain. 1t required 1880
quarts of wheat -four, one and half
barrels of yeast, 326 quarts of milk, g.
600 eggs and three pounds of nutmegs.
The cake, which was about 36 feet
long and 16 feet wide, was kneaded
on a huge sliding draw plate, which
was rolled into the oven by chains.
The oven, which was of tremendous
size for those times, was heated from
underneath and had II chimneys.
When the cake was baked 1t was
rolled out of the oven, loaded onto q
long wagon and hauled by eight horses
from the bakery at Zeithain to the
headquarters of the review at Rade-
WITT. The special knife used for cut
ting 1t was 20 feet long.
