Rediscount Bank
 Will Be Formed
(Continued From Page D

Harrison told the president that organization work was, proceeding rapidly. Details will be laid ira- mediately before every clearing house and banking group in the country.
 Many assurances of support for the plan already have been re- cetved, it was announced officially at ,the White House after Harrf- sons talk with the president.
 The new institution will not be sectional, it was said, but rather would be entirely national in character.
 It will have board of twelve directors, one from each federal reserve district.
 An outline of events preceding the congressional conference at the White House Tuesday night when MT Hoover exposed his complete program showed today that he be- gan developing the idea early In September. His general purpose was to obtain unity of action among banking, industrial and con- gressional groups. Last Friday Mir Hoover determined upon the prop ositions which he placed this week before the congressional leaders.
 His program was three fold. It required the cooperation of govern ment agencies such as the federal reserve board, the farm board and the treasury; voluntary action by the banking community which to provide the 0,o00,000 fund and generally cooperative action among the banks; and, finally, positive as- surance that legislative program could be enacted.
 Details were so interlocked, in the presidents view, that coopera- tion of all three groups, govern mental, banking and congressional, was essential if the program was to be. competent and assured.
 Washington, Oct 8-(UP)-Sen- ator Robinson, dem, Ark, the sen- ate minority leader, and Senator Walsh, dem, Mont, joined today in asserting President Hoover should immediately summon congress in special session to enact his cr/lit stablization program.

Dollar Must
 Be Stabilized
(Continued from Page 1.)


 cost of living" or Thigh cost of living" does not mean a feast or famine in goods, according to Pro- lessor Fisher, but rather a famine or feasts" in money.
 The Yale economist is the author of a plan to stabilize the dollar. The plan embraces abolition of gold coins and issuance of "gold bullion certificates" maintenance of a 100-percent reserve of gold behind these certificates by issuing or retiring them as required when this 100spercent ratio is disturbed by . change in the amount of gold in the dollar, and retention of vir- tual free coinage"
 Debt, he declared, Is the chief trouble with business to-day. The appreciated currency, far from be- ing a boon to the buyer, is a menace, since it increases the bur- den of debt, Professor Fisher in- dicsted. Likewise falling prices are not boon but a burden, he added. for 1t is an economic principle that if the price level is lowered the debt level is correspondingly in- creased.
 Professor Fishers attitude on tariff, disarmament and war debts win be presented in to-morrow's final instaIlment).

 We recognize that the prosperity of each and every nation con- tributes to the prosperity of all. It is important that at conferences such as this the experience of each and every nation should be placed at the disposal of all in order that we may profit by our successes as we'll as learn the lessons of our failures.
 There is one lesson from this de- pression to which wish to refer. and I can present it no more for cibly than by repeating a state ment which I made to this confer ence just four years ago, when we were in the heyday of foreign loans. I stated, in respect to such loans,

STUCK UP.

Seattle-Women nenghbors of Alexander Mims wondered at his lack of manners. They passed him on the street and he failed to raise his hat in greeting. But this explains Mims' actions. He is near-sighted, and by mistake took q bottle of glue out of cabinet in place of hair tonic. He put on his hat and it took him more than 15 minutes to cut 1t off after he had discovered his mistake. He had to have his head shaved.

NEW YORK
wtM Gilbert Swan

New York - One of the most familiar Broadway themes con cerns the comics who go clowning through a show, unaware that sor- row and tragedy have visited their homes while thousands laughed at their antics.
 And yet the situation recurs again and again, a poignant and heart breaking refrain in the end less symphony of the theater!
 Well, 1t was just the other night three men stood whis- pering in the wings at the Fol lies' while Jack Pearl went through his famous routine of twisting the English language into hilarious dialect.
 How are we going to tell
 Cant tell him now there's an act to run"
 He'd break down best to wait until the curtain"
 Nothing anyone can do now, anyhow. She's dead"
 "Yes, and I think he'd thank us for waiting until the shows over"
 Thus went the whispers. And thus went conversations In Offlces upstairs. Phone rang and there were faltering exchanges of opin- ion.
 Jack Pearls mother had died while he pranced about stage filled with lovely chorines and kept up his rapid fire of disjoint- ed batter.
 Back in the wings, the com ments skipped and jumped all around the subject.

 But particularly hot tonight . funny he should be go funny well. you know what I mean.
 "Yeah, know. .. 'Tis funny.

| upon some new insanity. And once more he exits and goes to his dressing room. The city swelters outside. A tiny electric fan stirs the steam-like air. He hurriedly rearranges makeup that threat ems to melt.
 "Whew," he remarks to a stage hand. .. The stage hand "Whews" back at him. The three men who stood in the wings have gone upstairs Into the offices. Nervously they refer to watches. One of them goes down again. Then another. The minute hand Is ticking them to- ward the moment of their grim task.
 Finally they hear the cue for the last number. The curtain falls. perspiring from d recent dance routine, seek a breath of air. But air is hard to find this night.
 Beyond the curtain Is the muted melody of sounds made by an au- dience quitting a playhouse.
 Hurricdly, Jack Pearl Is remov- Ing the grease paint from his face. A friend stands in the door
 "Got bad news for you, Jack boy."
 The comic looks quickly up.
 "Your mother died tonight!'
 Out in the street, people stand in little groups waiting for taxis and private cars.

DAILY NEWS LETTER
BY HENRY WOOD United Press Staff COrrcspOndcnO


 Geneva, OUP).-The solution Of Europe's unemployment problem now numbering more than 1O,OOO,- O0O, is. to be undertaken on very broad lines by the leagues new European Union commission.
 According to projects adopted by a subcommittee of the union the problem will be handled from three different points of view.
 First, that the present unem- ployment Is due only in part to the general economic depression.
 Second, that 1t is due in part to the fact that Europe at all times has a surplus population.
 Third, that the outlet Tor this surplus population has been. dl- unfinished by the restrictive emlgra- tion laws of the United States and other countries.
 Projects to Be Submitted
 The project of this sub-commlt- tee will be submitted for final ap- proval to the fourth plenary ses- sion of the European Union Com mission, which convenes on Sep- tember 1.
 The projects cover four different methods for effectively and per- manently solving Europe's unem- ployment problem. They are as fol- lows:
 First: The creation of Euro pean international clearing house which will keep in close touch with the labor market of each country and endeavor to place workers that are idle in one country in those countries where workers are need ed.
 Second: The furthering of bilat- eral treaties, of which a large num- Der are already in force. that will permit of a quick transfer of work CTS from one country, where there Is surplus to another country where, according to the season, or for other reasons, there are not enough.
 Typical Arrangement
 TO date France and Italy have the most typical and effective ar- rangement of this kind, France at certain seasons of the year having need of large number of Italian workers, who later return to the mother country.
 Third: The creation of 8 vast system OI lHLeTHdLiOHdl puuiiC works in Europe, such as continen- tai motor roads, general conti- mental hydro electrical system, etc.. 1, that not only will furnish employ ment to hundreds of thousands of workers but will serve more and more to weld Europe into an eco- homie whole.
 Fourth: A vast system of colonial expansion and development that will permit of the absodption of that surplus population which for merly emigrated to the United states and other countries that have since wholly, or partially, closed their doors.
 For this latter project 1t is con- ceded that a vast system of financ- ing will be necessary, but the Euro pean Union Commissions credit subcommittee has already under taken the problem of solving the question of long and short term credits for this purpose. | It is expected that all of these projects can be gotten under way before the end of the year,

MAYAS USED COLORED JADE
 FOR BILLINGS
Expedition Found Teeth Inlaid With Precious
 Stone

Chicago.-The ancient Mayas of Central America went to the den-
 tist not because they had tooth ache but because 1t was the smart thing to do. A jumping toothache
 might have been allowed to. wear
 itself out, but the adornmcnt of teeth with inlaid filings of bright colored jade was something else. J. Eric Thompson, leader of the
 Third Marshall Field Expedition to British Honduras. brought this information back to the Field
 Museum of Natural History to- gether with description of the | methods employed to gain the de- sired dental decoration.
 Thompson, who brought back d number of sets of human teeth equipped with the jade filings, revealed that the process depend- ed largely on the use of sharp ened stone turned by string bow. This instrument in the hands of one of the old women, who com
 prised the dental fraternity in those days, was capable of produc- Ing a great deal of unpleasantness.
 But so was the wasp waist of the 'nineties. old records indicate that the smarter set of ancient Mayan society for the most part bore the beautifying process with display of Spartan-like fortitude. Jade
 was used because it and copper were the precious metals of the | Mayas. Gold was common enough to be used in household utensils. Articles Tell History
 Fifteen burial mounds excavat- ed near San Jose, British Hon. duras, revealed a number of ar ticles illustrative of the culture and the customs of the Mayas.
 Skulls showing the results of the
 common practice of deformation by binding blanks to the forehead during childhood were discovered, as well as bowls containing skulls of persons who had taken prom inent and unenviable part in the sa acrificial death rites of which the Mayas were so fond and which
 usually. were performed on high platform, where all the multitude | could see. Jewelry and trinkets discovered by Thompson included large jade
 ear plugs weighing more than
 three ounces each; jade amulets: | pearls, which are rare find among Maya burials; artistically
 curved bowls; contents of a child's grave, including clay dolls with whistles; and peculiar flint inn plements shaped like scorpions
 dogs, human beings and other
 living creatures.
 Among the Mayan lore collected
 was an interesting and, the Maya;
 believe, infallible recipe for win ming a maiden's love. The recipe
 requires the swain to steal three
 hairs from the head of his hearts
 desire, and tie them alternately
 with three of his own, forming a
 circle. The girl then will have no choice but to fall desperately Tn 1 love with him. the recipe indi'
 cates. However, 1t would not work
 unless performed on a Friday to-
 gether with other ritualistic de- | tails.
