Governor COnfers With
Roosevelt Over Banks;
Md. To Use Scrip
Continued from page u

at best, an appreciate period of time
and, during this period, the national
banks would have the advantage.
The prevailing situation in financial
circles is somewhat like the panicky
week of October 20, 1907, when the
country suffered from a series of
State banking holidays and several
kinds of substitutes for cash were
used to tide over the situation, the
one in most general use, perhaps, hav-
ing been the issue of clearinghouse
certificates or scrip.
Scrip is promisory note issued by
member banks of the Clearing House
Association as substitute for money.
The country banks have no clearing
house, like the city banks and this
lack of a central agency will slow
things up somewhat, but the situation
is being worked out by the State and
national authorities and a definite
plan for conducting the business OF
the banks is being arranged.
The issuance of scrip helps both the
banks and the depositors in many
ways and in some cases relieves the
banks of the necessity of selling secur-
tiles and other investments at loss
to meet the demands for deposit with
drawals. The scrip, which will be
issued in denominations of 81, SIS, $40,
$50 and $50 notes, will be accepted by
the stores and merchants at its face
value. In amounts less than 81, silver,
nickels and pennies will continue to
be given in change as heretofore.
Regulations concerning the conduct
of all banking institutions are being
amended daily, both in the State and
the nation, hence it has not yet been
determined definitely whether scrip
will be accepted in payment for GER
tain obligations like income taxes.
President Roosevelt's proclamation,
In which he took command of the sit
uation on behalf of the federal gov
eminent of the supply of money and
gold, after stating in his inaugural
address that the greatest of our
troubles is fear, has gone long way
toward restoring the confidence of the
people. The new Congress will convene
today in special session and form of
currency will be devised so that bus
mess win carry on.

Glen Echo = Cabin
John Group Opposes
feathers Reductions

Opposition to reduction in salaries
of teachers and school executives is
expressed in a resolution adopted by
the Glen Echo-Cabin John Park
Parent-Teacher Association, which
was received by the Montgomery
County Commissioners Tuesday.
The resolution states that "salary
reductions undermine the spirit of
efficiency of teachers and executives
which will directly affect the present
welfare and future usefulness of our
children" and opposes any reduction
in funds for school purposes or re-
auctions in salaries of teachers or
school executives. A similar resolu-
ton was adopted Monday night by
the Cabin John Park Citizens Asso-
citation.
The county commissioners gave
permission to the Annapolis Chesa-
peake Bay Power Co. to extend its
power lines near Spencerville.

ment, in which the bank acts
executor and trustee under wills

ters of credit, travellers cheques,
and foreign drafts are issued as
well as where foreign exchange
is bought and sold. A credit

This year marks the sixty-first
consecutive year that Buffers
medicine has been sold and wide
ly accepted. In 1928, when Will
liam C. Field, Washington phar-
macist, became head of the estab-
lished firm, a change in name
was applied to their medicine,
but since it was first discovered
its formula was found so satisfac-
tory that the name of the prod
uct was the only thing to- under
go any change at all.
In Dpeaking of the progress his
firm has made not only in the 56
years before he became it's head,
but since 1928, when he took
charge, Mr.. Field said:
"Our remedy for gOut and
other rheumatic pains has met
with marked success here and
in several foreign countries. De-
mand for it is increasing. 1t
has been useOd by many Wash
