Imitation Feal.

Eccles' imitation bugaboo and his fear of 8 runaway stock. market are shared by the Presi- dent and by Morgenthau himself.
 They went along with him on his first move to increase bank reserves which can be done under the Banking. Act of 1885, but only because they figured the reaction in bonds would not be so drastic.
 As 2 result of the whole fin. cident, the Administration is pursuing a policy of "watchful waiting" on monetary matters. There are a lot of rumors on Wall Street that Roosevelt will revaluate the dollar, cut the price of gold, and bar the flood of yellow metal arriving in New York by almost every steamer.
 But inside word is that for the time being he will do nothing. Admirer
 After weeks of man-to-man ne- gotiations, Walter Chrysler thinks John L. Lewis is okay. The motor magnate is telling friends he is ready to do business with the c. I. o. leader any time.

The Davies have rent ed swanky house in Mayfair, and the Hutton yacht, "Hussar," one of the most luxurious in the world, will be anchored in the Thames.
 For Willard, the coronation would be an excellent way out of his present Supreme Court di-, lemma. He was one of the first breast-beaters to come out against the Presidents plan.
 Since then he has had a ter- rife reaction from his Maryland constituents. Those who make a ritual of the Maryland Hunt club races are for him, but unfor- tunately they don't have many votes.
 On the other hand, organized labor has.
 So Willard may find 1t awfully convenient, to say nothing of en- joyable, to slip over for the cor onation of King George. It would save 8 most embarrassing vote.
 Swing Man
 Latest line going the rounds of Washington:
 we are under . constitution, but the Constitution Is what Justice Roberts says it is." Bond Sag
 Behind the scenes, some very brisk talk has been addressed to federal Reserve Chairman Mar riner Eccles as a result of the sharp slump in government bonds.
 There has been lot of talk in Wall Street about the mys- terious reason for this slumbp, but there IS no mystery about 1t. It was due primarily to the fact that the Federal Reserve Board or dered an increase of one-third in the cash reserves of member banks, effective May 1.
 As 9 result smaller banks, heavily loaded with government bonds, dumped them on the on the market in order to meet the boards requirements.
 Mariner EccleS was responsible for this increase. He has become much worried over the spectre of imitation, knew that an increase In ban Preserves would take money out of speculative fields. He also knew this would bring an easing in bond values, but he ex- pected nothing as dwraStic as acc tually occurred.
 MOrgenthau Howl
 The bond drop brought an im- mediate howl from the Treasury.
 Chief pride of Secretary Mor- genthau is his maneuvering of government interest rates down to point where the Treasury pays only the same total interest it big national debt rolled up by Roosevelt.
 Morgenthau has raised . lot of money in the form of short term paper, maturing in from one to five years. This means that he has to keep going back into the market to refinance every time an issue natures.
 Right here was where the Eccles policy pinched. As long as government securities were above par, Morgenthau could sell his new issues at low rates. But now Eccles inadvertently had lacked the rate on him.
 Morgenthau's howl was behind the action of the Federal Reserve Board in converting its Open Market Committee and going into the market to buy government bonds, thereby bolstering bond prices.
 A other words, the Reserve board moved to cushion the se- were monetary reactoin which 1t, itself, had precipitated.

armature had been left behind on Broadway and that without 1t Co-Pastor Crawford couldn't blow a top note if her entrance into heaven depended on doing SO. But since Rheba ha. sued Aimee for $1 ,O8O, 900 am inclined to think it had something to do with armatures. Take away a cornet players armature. which is noth- ing but a stiff apper-lip, and what has she got left Nothing but 8 suit for islander fo- better than 8 million dollars. That is what Rheba has started and what Aimee must finish. But how?
 Kick In, Brothers
 I have no way of knowing how Aimee received the news of Rhe- ba,s suit. She may have sunk to her knees in prayer. She may have flown into 2 co-pastoral tantrum. Or she may have taken her high-heeled da.icing slippers for an old home week stroll In the Mojave Desert. Wha ever she did her friends and the sinful brands she had rescued from the everlast- ing bonfire did something prac- tical. They started, due to an m- spiration received by Giles Knight, business manager of the McPher- son Temple, a defense fund. Just in csse. MT. Knight planted 2. huge bronze kettle smack In the middle of the "Angelus" edifice and invited everyone Aimee nad saved to toss in their contribu- tions. Nothing of value was barred. Money, watches, rings, chains bracelets, necktie .,iEs, lavalferes' lingerie skewers, fraternal em- blems, tennis {. .-ps, golf mugs knives, forks, and spoons were ac- ceptabIe. Anything that was not ..lated and was donated with the devout intention of seeing that Co- Pastor McPherson was not knocked off to the tune Of tne million dollar judgment could go into the pot. "Give, give, give" Business Manager Knight Is re. Dorted to have cried. "GlVE YOUR GOLD TEETH, YOUE

As might be anticipated when two lady enemies of wickedness -one an ash blonde and the other a flaming near-brunette, got to chasing Old Nick around the Los Angeles stump, there was no keeping the customers away.

MOTHER

MOTHER (By Jane Bell Grady in the Boston PosD Her hands are worn, And shoulders bent, In sacrifice Her days are spent. The wrinkled brow, The silver hair, Serve but to show The years of care. But these are things That scarce can hide The flame within Which is our guide. That beauteous soul Which we may clam; For which the years Have wrought a frame.

the Angels, the S' INVERTEBRATES business of twisting Satan,s tail Is conducted with gusto by two fe- male religion -hucksters. Aimee Semple McPherson and Rheba Crawford Splivalo. Not only do they battle the powers of evil for the souls of men, women, and children but they also scrap with each other for the spotlight of publicity and the front. pages of what are quaintly described in the California vicinage as newspapers. Between the two of them they op- crate a Temple" of which they are, or were, Co-Pastors.

Her subse- quent return to civilization-and soul snatching-was accompanied by what Edwin c. Hill, the pres- ent radio commentator but then ordinary reporter, described as a bona -flde miracle. Aimee, accord- ing to her tell, had escaped from captivity Tn the dusty wilds clad in ball-gown and a pair of high- heeled dancing slippers, and walked miles and miles and miles into Los Angeles. MT.

Heroes Both

xxC4VC0 AVVA1
 Shocking about the heroes who are providing the defense fund Ior one of the combatants in Los An- geles' latest Holy War, reminds me that we had an example or an other kind of heroism in the state senate last week. The bill to com pel Connecticut women to do Jury duty was being considered. It nao passed the lower house; 1t was ap- proved by Governor Gross; It was advocated by epicene newspaper editors who ought to be in skirts. Worst of all 1t was being pushed Dy q small vo:iferous band of ternaa- gants who consider themselves without any warrant whatever tO be the authorized spokeswomen for their sex in the state. They resorted to every form of bullying' cajolery, threatening. and niack- lacking known to the most un- scrupulous male lobbyist. They de- manded the bill be passed not be- cause the women of the state thought it . good thing but be- cause their own particular clique ordered it. In spite of the pro ponents' effrontery and, poSslDV in fear of the political conse- ouences which voting against t might entail and which tns shrieking sisters announced wouio be exacted from those who nao the temerity to do so, the Seaase yielded to the demands of this m. sufferable female minority ana passed the bill. But not unsl, Senators Cooney and Clancy naa denounced the tactics of the meas ures advocated, exposed its useless character and accurately descriDeo the imuertinent activities of its nushers. The example of down. right pluck and the expression ol honest resentment given by MessrS Cooney and Claffey call TOT three rousing cheers from this quarter. Tn a day when moral gutlessness would appear to be the prime re- uuifement i'm legislators of Dotn narties 1t Is an unique privilege to encounter the demonstration of intestinal fortitude given by the two senators from Hartford. on the surface their opposition to the woman jury bill may look like 8 political blunder. But in the long run any man who has the pluck to refuse to be bludgeoned out of his honest convictions by . pack or females who have nothing but idle time on their hands and an ill- grained determination to make trouble, has nothing to fear. Even women admire . male who baiks at being whipped into lime.

Neither Rhebas cornet nor Rheba's particular brand of salvation drew the crowd which swarmed around the cor ner every night. Rheba had what 1t takes to draw the eyes of sight, seers, sinners, and lookouts Tor luscious candidates for musical comedy choruses. Tired business men were known to revive their depleted vitality by just giving Rheba the once-over. Pouchy -eyed plutocrats were known to stand elbow to elbow with Broadway moochers trying to court the bene- diction of Rheba's smile. But .Rheba stuck to her cornet- footing. walloped Beelzebub from elevated pillar to Main Stem lamp-post nightly, and furnished devastat- ing opposition to all the current theatrical hits.
