 NOW POSTPONED
Board of Law Examiners Meeting Is Deferred
 Until October l2

The meeting of the Territorial Board of Law Examiners, slated to have convened here today pur- suant 10 call by Attorney Gen eral John Rustgard, Chairman and ex-officio member, has been post poned until October 12, accord ing to an announcement made by him this morning.
 No quorum or the Board can be had earlier than that, MT Rustgar,i said, making postpone ment necessary. The injury of Senator A. J. Dimond, Democratic nomine. for Delegate to Congress and member of the Board for the Third Division, made it impossi- hle for him to reach here at this time, and cut the available mem bership below a quorum.
 Other members of the Board are R. E. Robertson, First Divis- ion; c. D. Cochran, Second Di- vision; and Charles E. Taylor. Fourth Division.
 Created two years ago by the Territorial Legislature. no meet ing of the Board has ever been held. One was called last year but inadequate funds to pay trav- cling and other expenses prevent ed the out-of town members from making the trip. When Senator Dimond, who is campaigning al! over the Territory in the interests Of the Democratic ticket generally and his own candidacy for Con- gress, arrives here, the meeting will be held, the Attorney General announced.

BOARD D|SCL0SES
ECONOMIC GAINS
Brokers' Loans Rise-InfIoW
of Gold Continues-Money
In Circulation Drops.

Showing improvement in several
phases. the weekly statement from the
Federal Reserve Board reflects increaS-
ing optimism in financial circles.
An indication that professional buy
ers were entering the stock market
during the upturn was seen In the New
York district in an increase by Sill,
100000 in brokers loans, which had
hung around $340 600, 900, raising the
total to $355,000,0O0.
The board also reported that the
return flow of gold, which has brought
more than 100000 900 into the United
States from Europe in recent months,
was continuing, and had piled up
total of monetary gold in this country
Of $4064 900 5000 after an increase OF
$18,0O000O last week. The amount.
however, was $928,000,000 less than was
held year ago.
Another optimistic feature was a de-
crease in the money in circulation, in
dicating people were spending and ths
money was finding its way back into
the Treasury. The board reported
that $22 100000 of the outstanding
currency had found its way back into
Government vaults during the seven
days. and on August "a the circulation
amounted to $5,6840 00, 900.
In the New York Federal Reserve
district the net demand deposits in
creased in the week from $4,957, 600, 900
to S5,025, 5000 and the time deposits
increased from $827,000,0 900 to $780,
0O0,OOO
The daily average volume of Federal
Reserve Bank credit outstanding for
the week, the board said, had decreased
$16,000,000, but was still an increase
of $1,161, 100000 compared with the
same week last year The total daily
average was 81, 36,0O0,000.
The total Reserve Bank credit slumped
off $23,000,000 for the week to

The Federal Reserve Banks held 81.
851 900 900 in Government securities al

same as the week before but an In,
crease of S1,123,000,000 as compared

Urges Ad Club Program.
The New York Advertising Clubs pro-
gram for business recovery should be
considered by the conference, declared
w. Jet Lauck, president of the Bureau
of Applied Economics, and secretary of
the former War Labor Board.
THE principles enunciated by the Ad-
vertising Club of New York as a basis
OF economic recovery offer sound hope
for speedy and permanent release from
the depression" he said.
THE program boldly recognizes fun
damental changes in economic condi-
tionS of which the depression has been
an outgroWth. 1t proposes the stabili-
zation of business and industry through
the cooperation of industrialists, fnan-
ciers and labor.
Under its provisions, prices would
move upward, industrial operations
would be resumed in an orderly way,
and millions of unemployed rapidly re-
turned to work. BY its adoption, tax
alton would be reduced, hundreds of
millions for relief during the coming
Winter could be saved, and untold hui
man suffering averted. As soon as the
plan got under way, security values
would quickly return to normal.
THE method of developing the plan
advocated by the Advertising Club
not require arbitrary action by govern
mental authority. Production would be
gradually stepped up and men put back
| to work.

 Could this be home? Could this ever be home to her?
 She had a sudden hysterical no- ton that he and she might be dropped into separate wings of the great house and be unable to find each other for days. When they were inside it was not like that at all

The room was per- feet even to a copper bowl of yell low roses on the coffee table beside a rosy wood fire lighted against the chill outside. Ellen looked about her, silent with delight. Why had she been so afraid of wealth W h en this was what wealth brought? Beauty that took the breath away. DO you like the place, Eilen?" Steven asked softly. "Oh-so much!"

Maybe it's a matter of carrying out the seasons vogue for military fashions. Anyhow, the battle for spring beauty honors will go to the girl who is well-armed!
 Glance at those arms of yours the next time you pirouetet before your mirror in a new evening gown. Are they gleaming and graceful? Do they seem in pro-
 portion to the rest of your body :? Or-are they so thick and pudgy that they spoil the whole sleek effect of your costume?
 No reason to ruin the evening by being arm-conscious! Overly fat arms will respond marvellous ly to the proper diet-though you always must remember that a rigid diet never should be under taken without a physicians ap- proval.
 Bulgy arms usually are accom-
 panied by buldging waistline, so it may be that your arms have

A rough skin often bespeaks poor circulatoin. To remedy this condition, scrub your arms with . l stiff body-brush while bathing
 using tepid, bland soapsuds. After
 drying thoroughly, apply warmed oil or give your arms a thorougf
 massage with your favorite colo | cream.
