BRANCH BANKING
GIVEN APPROVAL
Edmund Platt of Reserve Board
Advocates System as Safeguard
Against Financial Failures.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated Press.
POLAND SPRING. Me, June IA
Branch banking privileges for national
banks as means of reducing the num-
Der of bank failures was advocated today
by Edmund Platt. vice governor of the
Federal Reserve Board, in an address
before the New England Council.
This whole exhibit of failures is a
disgrace to the country" Platt asserted,
"and certainly should not be permitted
to continue If a remedy can be found,
whether the remedy is popular or un-
popular in the banking fraternity"
Many small banks have failed within
the past five years. and the people have
turned to branch banking as a remedy.
Why restrain such a natural and neces-
sary movement by law?" he asked.
Asserting that New York and Chicago
bankers were generally opposed to
branch banking, Platt added that "as
long as the banking units out in the
States can be kept comparatively small
the biggest and best business must come
to the big cities. and the country banks
themselves through their correspondent
accounts must furnish a large part of
the funds with which this business is
taken care Of"
THE present system suits Wall Street
bankers exactly" he said in conclusion
why should they worry over the con-
tinued failure of a lot of little banks
of somewhere in the distant prairies -

 You might say that the rein deer is domesticated caribou, and be more than half right" said Miller. "The reindeer handle very much like sheep If cne breaks from the herd hG will probably stop off at a short disyanco and turn around to look at the herd and then come back. ll the ccrl- bou takes notion +o quit tho herd, he doesn't stop b leave any regrets but beats it in straight line. Soon you will see him and a dog disappearing in the distance. The dogs are trained to stay with, him until We can get out t9 tual them back. ?
 The carideer, however, seem to inherit the more peaceful habits of their reindeer mothers and take readily to the arts of donleEticitv. vvr7or die+rih-+~d +77rorahnnt the herds of the Territory they should have a marked effect in bringing up the standard because as a mat | ter of fact the reindeer have been interbreeding since their intr0dEc- ton narly 30 yeaors ago. From the 1 i 200 brought here there are now approximately 100000 head in Alaska. The new blood vii pe 5 decided advantage.
 In addition to the carideer ex - periments. the Biological Survey is conducting experiments on Nun ivak with plants and fur animals. The ground squirrel which is considered pest in the States. is a valuable animal in the North His pelt makes a splendid
 fur coat and his meat is fine fox feed. MT. Miller states that new researches in regard to the Warble
 fly pest which has been a serious
 menace to reindeer herds, indicate
 that it may be possible to contro this evil. The Warble lodges along the back of the animal and eat
 holes thru their hide rendering it
 practically valueless.

WA M JACQUELINEI
 4k. ON HER OWN
by RICHARD STARR

SYNOPSIS: Heart broken, ill and facing poverty JacqueIine is in desperate straits. She gains some mental relief by a visit to Scotland Yard where she of- fers Detective McAllister the stolen diamond necklace. He amazes her by giving it to her as present from the owner. It is an imitation purchased by a wealthy man for his wife when he was short of ready money. Tramping the streets, uncertain where to turn, Jac- queline is confronted by P. c. Rogers, the friendly policeman. He takes her home and surpris- es her with a present of nine pounds-explaining she won it on Naughty Boy. Jacqueline is joyful and she spends it spar ingly but it soon is exhausted and she faces the humiliation she sought to avoid and plans to ask Keswick Dell at Byrams for her old job. It was either that or starving.

LAZARUS LAUGHED"

Sunday evening at o'clock, the pastor of the Community Church will give one of his popular book reviews. His book will be Eugene O'Neill's Lazarus Laughed" which is said to be one of the great dramas Of the past decade. A great authority said of it; "This is in the completest sense a noble and ecstatic tragedy, the most pow erful, truest and most beautiful that any dramatist has given since Goethe. In the sweep of it's emo- tions and the vitality of it's ideas it is the crown of O'Neills efforts.
 "The great idea of the book is There Is No Death and it is a fitting sequel to the Easter mes sage.

Chapter 36 MIR. DELL'S DAY

Before she had time to chang her mind, Jacuueline went straight to Byrams.
 Through the silowrooms under the inquisitive eyes of the girlg who recognized her despite the changes wrought by three month of struggle, illness and semi-star- vation, straight to the ground-glasf door with Office" inscribed on it.
 Within sat Keswick Dell Ha had done a lot of thinking since Jacqueline had walked out of his office after she had rejected his proposal and had been discharged He was desperately in love with her, in his way, and realized that he had used the wrong methods to win her.
 So he trod carefully and concealed the song in his heart as she stood before him. He stood up as she entered, a mark of courtesy he had never shown an employee be- fore, and held out his hand to Jac- queline.
 "very glad to see you again, Miss Grey" he said, briskly. Like old times. Always pleased to see an old friend. I hope things are well with you. Can I have the pleas ure of showing you some of our latest things?"
 He knew well enough what she had come for, but considered it best to play waiting game.
 T haven't come to buy anything. MT. Dell, but to ask if you will be good enough to give me some work. :"
 Work Of course I will" replied Dell with bluff good humor eThere is always job waiting for you here, Miss Grey. I was sorry enough to lose you. Can you start straight away?"
 eYes, if you please, MT. Dell"
 Good. What do you want models?"
 "If you think am fit for it.' !
 He looked at her appraisingly You have got bit thinner, but present-day models have to be slim. The simmer the better So you'll do quite we'll Will you live in as before, or would you prefer to live out?"
 She stammered and blushed. Dell was quick enough to understand her difficulty.
