Senator John G. Townsend, Jr., of
Delaware had better utilize the
whole of his holiday vacation in
real rest, for when Congress comes

of the National Bank and Federal
Reserve systems, with a view to pro-
posing amendments to limit use of
banking funds in speculative COM
mitments in Wall Street. Senator
Glass, of Virginia, author of the res
olution of inquiry, is chairman of
this committee.
AS a member of a subcommittee
of the committee on agriculture,
Senator Townsend will aid in work
ing out a plan to enable the Federal
Land Banks to carry over interest
notes ON farm loans for a period Of
three years.
AS a member of subcommittee,

POSTOFFICE CLOSED
ON NEW YEARS DAY
All Postal Employees We're Given
Half Day Holiday As Is Custom

The Postoffice Department at
Washington issued orders that all
postoffices in the country be closed
at noon on Thursday, January l, in
accordance with the usual custom of
that department. The employees
are given this holiday yearly and it
comes at a welcomed time after the
strenuous Christmas holiday season
rush. Because of New Years Day
falling on Thursday this year, it
was necessary to advance the time
of closing the forms of this issue of
the Chronicle so that the paper
could be put in the mails in time for
the postoffice employees to handle
the papers before noon on Thurs
day. If for any reasons any sub
scribers do not get their paper until
day later this week, it is is'probably
due to the disarrangement of sched-
ules incident to the holiday on
Thursday.

PENNSYLVANIA JUDGE
WANTS WHIPPING POST
Believes Certain Crimes Should
Bringer Offenders To Post

Indorsing the suggestion made by
Judge Joseph Burlington, Of the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals. of Pennsylvania, proposing
re-establishment of the whipping
post as a deterrent of crime, Judge
Albert Dutton MacDade, of the Del
aware County court at Media, Pa,
took steps to have bill introduced
into the Pennsylvania legislature
authorizing the whipping post.
Judge MacDade's opinion was ex-
pressed in letter addressed to
State Representative Ellwood J.
Turner, of Moylan.
The proposal of the whipping post
was made by Judge Burlington in an
interview Saturday, when he sum-
med up his conclusions after thirty
nine years on the Federal bench.
. Judge MacDade wrote to Mr..
Turner:
II concur with Judge Burlington
that the lash applied publicly on the
backs of a dozen bandits would do
more to rid Pennsylvania of bandit
ry than thousand prison sentences
that one man publicly whipped in
Media would deter 100 from start
ing out with hair-trigger pistols to
rob or kill.
"In the almost complete failure of
means to stamp out banditry, GER
tainly the whipping post deserves a
trial.
Don't you think it would be
very commendable thing for you to
introduce a bill Immediately and see
that it is passed by the legislature
and signed by the Governor. estab-
fishing a whipping post at every
county seat in Pennsylvania for GER
tain crimes%
The State Representative declar-
ed, that he is opposed to the whip
ping post.
