showing definite and steady improve.
ment, j F. T. O'Connor. Comptroller Of
the Currency of the United States. said
in a recent address. He pointed out that
the decided drop which has occurred in
money in circulation shows the public
has largely ceased boarding.
On March l. 1884, the Federal Re,
serve Board reported that the volume
of money in circulation amounted to
$5.355, 100000. which was decline of
1877. 100000 since March /. 1888. It
was a drop of $2.226. 900. 900. or over 20
per cent from the all-time peak Of
1881. 100000 reached on March 10.
1888. About one-half the decrease. it
was pointed out, reflected the return Of
currency from the public.
Money in circulation declined rapid
ly after the reopening of the banks In
March, 1888. and has continued since
to decline from week to week, ''notwith
standing the increase in the demand
for currency arising from enlargement
of pay rolls and increase in the volume
of retail trade" the Comptroller said,
which, he added, Indicates continued
return Of money from boards as bank
ing facilities were reestablished."

popularity of her fashion articles
undoubtedly is due to the fact that
she tries as she says, to consider the
current styles from the viewpoint of
the average American woman, and
to write about the type of clothes in
which this average woman would be
interested. Extremes in styles do
not interest her and, consequently,
they have no place in her articles.
The illustrations show no freak
models. The average woman, Miss
Nicholas feels, wants her clothes to
be fashionable, but she also wants
them to be serviceable, practical and
economical, and it is clothes of that
kind that she pictures and about
which she writes.
The pictures, as we'll as the in
formation that she puts into her in
teresting articles, are obtained in the
fashion centers of New York and
Chicago, with which she keeps con-
stantly in contact.
Although a native of st. Louis,
Miss Nicholas career as a fashion
authority started in Chicago when
she was asked to do style articles
for one of the leading millinery
trade magazines, and this led to her
appointment as associate editor of
this publication. She next became
advertising manager of the largest
wholesale millinery house in the
West, also editing the magazine
which this company published.
From that position she went to the
editorship Of the Millinery Herald,
published by the Millinery Jobbers'
Association of the West, and sue
cessfully conducted that publication
for several years.
Il 1t was not long however, before
Miss Nicholas went beyond the MILL
merry field and began writing about
fashions in women's clothing. She
soon became one of the country's
leading writer's on this subject, her
articles appearing in prominent
trade publications and newspapers.
We feel very fortunate in being
able to obtain the services of such an
expert as Miss Nicholas on subject
that is of so much interest to all
women. If you are enjoying these
articles yourselves. tell your friends
about them.

Tot Telephones Cop,
Saves Mothers Life

Because she had been taught how to
use the telephone. little six-year-old
girl of Washington, D. c., probably
saved her mothers life recently.
The mother had tainted. and did not
respond to the child's attempt to
awaken her. When she noticed cash
on her mothers arm, the little girl ran
to the telephone and screamed, Il want
a cop. Mothers been hurled"
The operator connected her with a
police station, and a policeman took
the message. The child could not tell
where she was. except that she was
there at the telephone. So the police
man kept her talking while the call
was being traced, and help reached the
mother in time to save her life.

PROPOSED ADJUSTMENT PRO.
GRAM is OFFERED DAIRY
INDUSTRY

A proposed adjustment program
for the dairy industry will be pre-
scented to dairymen throughout the
country by the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration at series of
regional conferences during the first
week in April. The conference for
| the region In which Maryland dairy
men are located will be held in
Philadelphia on April and 8.
The aim of the new plan, it is
stated, is to hold production Of dairy
products at or near the seasonally
low levels of recent months, until
purchasing power in the cities re-
covers enough so that consumers
can buy larger quantities of milk
products at better prices. Under
the plan suggested, benefit payments
will be made to dairymen in return
for reducing their sales below their
1932-1933 sales quota. These pay
ments would be at the rate of about
40 cents for each pound of tutterfat
they reduce, or about $3.50 on each
100 pounds of fluid milk. The linn
it's of reduction are from 10 to 20
per cent.
The plan is to run for one year
but may be continued for one addi-
tional year at the discretion OF the
Secretary of Agriculture. II leaves
open to individual farmers to decide
how they shall make their reduction,
whether by keeping fewer cows,
changes in methods of feeding, or
otherwise.
Additional features of the plan in
clude the expenditure of at least five
million dollars to aid in financing
distributor of surplus milk to under
fed children in cities; use of five
million dollars for purchase and dis
tribution of healthy cows to needy
farmers lacking milk cows; at least
| five million dollars to speed up the
campaign against tuberculosis; ano
possibly Federal participation in
testing and sanitary control OF
Bangs disease.
The program would be financed
by processing tax, which would
start at 1 cent a pound on butterfa'
when the program goes into effect
and be increased gradually to
cents pound as supply comes under
control.
1t is stated by officials of the Ad-
justment Administration that the
proposed plan will be discussed
frankly with dairymen at the region
al conferences and that careful at
tention will be given to meriteo
suggestions for modification.

APRIL-HIsTORIC MONTH

The month of April contains more
of historic interest to Americans
than any other-not even excepting
July, with it's Independence Day.
From the very beginning the month
teens with historic dates.
April 9Th, marks the late when
war was declared against Germany.
The eighth is Arbor Day in many
states, and is much more than a date
on the calendar, for it is very gen.
orally observed by the schools, if not
by individuals.
April 18th, Patriots Day, will al
ways remain as the gloriors date
immortalized by the deeds of the
men at Lexington and Concord.
That time when the "embattled
farmers" met and conquered the
soldiers of the proudest nation on
earth. That time when the shot
was fred that was heard around the
world. That time when a whole
continent sprang to arms, when with
one voice the people cried, Liberty
or death"
April 21st, the formal declaration
Of war against Spain was passed by
Congress, and we gave liberty to
Cuba, forever Kidding the American
continent OF any trace Of Spanish
rule. A short war, little more than
3 skirmish. but great In its results.

About Bank Loans

"As for the charge that the banks
will not extend credit. the first and OBJ
vious reply is that the banks them
selves are made up of the very bone and
sinew OF the Industrial. commercial
and agricultural interests of the coun.
try. Bank directors, and, to large ex.
tent. bank officers. are drawn from the
business and farming population. If
they do not feel at any given moment
that 1t is wise to make a particular

are sound reasons for not making it,"

DR.. A. T. Allen, state superin-

mated that North Carolina would
get about $1,5000,o0 which the
state school commission could use
to increase teachers salaries if
congress passes the bill introduced
by Senator George of Georgia and
others to provide funds for schools,
The George measure, and a COM

the house, would give 100000 10

year, DR.. Allen said, and NORTH
Carolina would probably get about
$1,500,000.
A provision is included setting
aside twice as much, or S100,000,-
900, next year, and this state woule
get $3,0OO,000 under that.
