SENATE To ACT
ON BANK BILL
REV|SIONS

A Senate banking subcommit-
tee today undertook to modify
the Glass bank reform bill along
the lines suggested by Gov.
Eugene Meyer, of the Federal
Reserve Board.
Senator Glass, sponsor of the
bill and wartime Secretary Of
the Treasury, served notice he
would fight the efforts to strike
out the more drastic provisions
designed to restrict banks from
indulging in stock speculation.
Mid Ban Due
It was generally conceded,
however, these provisions would
be stricken from the bill and
replaced by a comparatively mild
restriction under which the Fed
eral Reserve Board would be
empowered to suspend loans to
member banks which made "un-
due" use Of Federal credit for
speculative purposes.
1t was also generally believed
the proposed limitations on the
amount of real estate mortgage
loans made by member banks
would be eliminated. The Glass
bill would limit real estate loans
to so per cent of a member
banks time deposits.
Uniformity Clause
Full constitutional power is
vested in the Federal Government
to bring about unification of the
country'S banks under a national
system, eliminating State com.
mercial institutions of deposit,
according to legal experts Of the
Reserve Board.
Heretofore, the principal argu.
ment against complete super.
vision of the banks of the coun-
try by the Federal Government
has been that there are neither
expressed nor inferred powers in
the Constitution.

and having by long experience learned
that he who wastes good food Is likely
to go hungry later, and deserves to, he
had no intention of wasting it.
Il may as well take it home" thought
he. Il can leave it there and then If
feel like it I will look around in an
other part Of the Green Forest. If I
should leave it here Reddy Fox or Old
Man Coyote might happen along and
take it, but neither will be bold enough
to enter my home. 1t will come in
handy later"
So Yowler took the Mouse to his home
in the rocky ledge He put it down just
outside the entrance little to one side.
Mistress Moon was shining end in the
open places it was almost as light as
day. But all about were Black Shadows
the blacker because of the contrast with
the light 1t was at the very edge of a
Black Shadow that YoWler put down
the Mouse. Then he thought he heard
a slight noise a short distance away,
and at once softly crept over there to
investigate. 1t proved to be nothing
of interest, and he returned to take the
Mouse into his den.
The Mouse wasn't where he had left
it. No. sir, it wasn't there. For mo-
ment he thought he might have made
a mistake and be looking in the wrong
place. But his nose told him that he
had made no mistake. There was the
smell of Mouse there. Could it be that
he had not killed that Mouse, after all,
and that it had escaped?

Ter was of no mind to go back home.
He had been sleeping all day, and he
would have all tomorrow in which to
sleep. So, although he did not need to
hunt until he should be hungry again,
he decided to roam about a little and
find out what he could of what was 60
ing on in the Green Forest. Among the
Black Shadows which had come down
from the Purple Hills and taken posses
sion of the Green Forest he moved al
| most like a shadow himself, for he is
naturally soft-footed, and TO move noise
leSsly is second nature to him.
Although he wasn't hunting, he kept
his ears and eyes and nose on duty all
the time. Out Of just idle curiosity and
from habit he investigated the cause of

1t goes to prove how no one can afford

Having caught the Mouse, Yowler
purred his satisfaction for a few min

and hesitated few minutes, trying to
make up his mind just what to do. He
wasn't hungry, so he didn't eat that

THE TULIP.

THE TULIP.
TINE tulip has a very fine family
history, and after you hear all
about her she is much more in
l. teresting flower, indeed. During
the sixteenth century she be-
came the chosen flower of Persia and
her colors were woven into priceless
fabrics. She came from the Orient to
Europe and soon became famous.
About hundred years later she be
came the rage of the Netherlands. and
from that time on these people became
bulb brokers. Rare varieties sold for
unheard-of prices and the growing of
tulips became an industry.
There are today many varieties, and
very brilliant colorS have been
achieved. Today the tulip is a common
flower to many of us, yet few really
know how lovely the plant is. The three
inner petals are more exquisite than
the outer sepals.
As the bud appears. it is to be found
snuggled close to the very center OF
the plant and just few inches out OF
the ground. AS the bud reaches up, 1t
is protected by its three green Sepas,
the bud grows rapidly, and the green OF
the sepals soon takes on the color OF
the flower. When 1t finally opens, the
sepals are of the exact color OF the
flower.
When a storm comes up or the days
are dark and dreary, the Sepals partly
close about the flower. In the bright
sunshine, when you get chance to
look into the tulips face, you notice the
way the sepalS surround the petals and
give the flower a triangular shape.
In the center of the flower is a pale
green column. This is the seed box.
1t is strong and three-sided. There are
six paddle shaped stamens, with bases
so expanded that they encircle the
pistil The anthers are well supplied
with pollen, but do not reach the
stigma The work of carrying the pol
len is left for the insects, who must
pay for their nectar by transferring the
pollen.
The stem of the tulip is rather strong
and covered with a whitish bloom. The
leaves are narrow, trough-Shaped, and
have parallel veins The lower leaves
encircle the flower and have slightly
ruffled edges.
The seed vessel is very pretty, and
shows to great advantage after the
petals and stamens drop away. The
seeds are packed in double rows. They
should not be permitted to ripen. as
they use up too much strength, which
is needed by the bulb.
The bulb is made up Of many layers.
and some of these layers will grow into
leaves All Spring the bulb gathers in
food and is ready to greet us early the
following Spring.
Tulips are not hard to please. and
will accept almost any soil which is

" VOW is the time to make ready
N for the Summer trip abroad or
VI the Sojourn in the country, or
a. travels in our own land. There
are two important matters to
think about early One is the luggage
and the other is the contents of the
luggage. Some day in the near future
we shall discuss clothes for European
travel and homeland journeyings. To-
day let US consider some of the luggage,
especially a smart travelling bag
woman can make and also covers for
hand luggage.
The first thing is the rolleau or zip
per bag, as it is called when bought in
leather or fabric, or which can be made
of linen, duck or some waterproof ma
terial by any woman, even though her
aptitude for sewing is slight Some of
you may remember one type of this bag
previously spoken of, smart revival Of
q popular fashion Of the nineties.
A diagram pattern, with full direc-.
tions for making this smart travelling
bag can be had for 10 cents together
with self-addressed and stamped en-
velope with request directed to Lydia
lie Baron Walker care of this paper.
A circular motif for cross-stitch through
canvas for the two round end pieces is
also 10 cents and the trailing vine de-
sign also for this cross stitchery to be
used to outline all seams and edges
can be had for 10 cents. Should all
three patterns be wanted they can be
had for 25 cents and the necessary self
addressed and stamped envelope. Ini-
tials for cross-stitching on bags by
counted stitches Cike the other cross
stitch designs) are cents each.
or in any tone to correspond with other
luggage. The stitchery can be In any
preferred contrasting fast color new
idea is to line the bags with waterproof
material. This lining can be separate
from the outer decorative bag and be
removable when the bag itself is laun-
dered. Sew snaps along the opening of
bag and lining and snap the two to-
gether
One of the features of these tubular
bags is that they can be folded and
tucked away in very small space when
starting off and be ready at a moments
notice for articles collected during
travels. Or they may be devoted all the
time to shoes and rubbers, those articles
which are so difficult to pack, and SO
essential to have for changes.
Covers for handsome luggage can be
made by the woman who is deft with
her needle. These covers cost a good
deal to buy. They are so fine as a pro-
lection that they are held in high favor
incidentally if ones bag or suitcase is
shabby, one of these covers hides
multitude of spots and scratches and
seems to be protecting a costly bit of
luggage instead of concealing a worn
piece.
Cut paper pattern of whatever piece
of hand luggage is to be covered.
French seam the portions together or
bind them with strips Of flexible leather
or kid. Where the bag opens the cover
must also. 1t is wise to have a small
hap on the waterproof cover to slip

and dried. At bedtime massage them
with a tissue cream. Do not wear many
rings. One rather large ring OF simple
design set with a semi-precious stone
would be quite enough. Your gloves
should be of dull neutral or dark color,
The present vogue for large cuffs and
fullness aboutthe wrist helps make large
hands look smaller. A tight sleeve with
a two-inch pleated ruffie running par
allel with the seam would be becoming.
This may be worn with a jacket with

Individual Differences.

The history Of civilization is one long
story of mass movement. Races, ma
tions, armies, enslaved groups, factory
systems, mass education. The only ones
who got any credit for being different
were the kings and those who by acci-
dental, favorable circumstances rose to
positions of control over certain sec
tions of the mass.
During the present century pSychol-
ogists have shown that no two indi-
viduals are exactly alike. 1t would be
hard to make any group today believe
that "all men are created equal" Even
if they were thus created, they would
not long remain so. Something besides
heredity keeps on making us over and
making us different from time to time

about the findings of modern pSychol-
ogy, some interesting questions might

the leaves wither cut them off. The
