to Congress today a special
message on comprehensive
reorganization of Government

Most of the changes go into
effect by executive order within
so days unless Congress specifical-

which a few days ago built its
2,250,000th unit.
E. G. Biechler, president and

group of company officials in
welcoming the unit as it came
off the production line, said sales
had developed steadily hand in
hand with the printing of Frigid'
aires selling messages in virtually
every paper of Importance in the
country. He explained:
"As pioneers in automatic
refrigeration and as the worlds
largest makers of this type of
equipment, our advertising has
had a twin purpOSe-the educa-
ton of the masses to the ad-
vantageS of refrigeration and
the establishment in their
minds that our equipment is
best suited for their needs.
That the enormous Sched-
ules of newspaper advertising
have been worth while is
definitely proved by the fact
that we have passed the 1885,

BILL AIDS
BANK EARNINGS

Under the currency expansion
provisions of the new Home Loan
bill, signed by President Hoover,
about $24,00O,000 may be added
to the earnings OF national banks
annually, Treasury experts esti-
mated today.
The Glass-Borah amendment to
the bill provides for additional
national bank currency backed
by 3, 31s and 33s per cent Gov
eminent bonds, whereas 2 per
cent consols and 2 per cent Pan
amas only have heretofore had
the circulation privilege.
A profit of 2.9 per cent may
be made by the national banks
on the bonds purchased for the
purpose of increasing their note
issues. Profits would amount to
approximately $2,573 on each
$4,000 of bonds pledged as col
lateral for bank notes with the
Treasury.
The bonds given the circula-
ton privilege under the new law
are selling below par, although
on the signature of the bill they
may increase. 1t was anticipated
at the Treasury that they would
reach par. The 2 per cent bonds
have been selling at a premium.
