Women Do Less
'JoywoIking,>
Survey Finds
BY the Assoc. ated Press.


ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 26.-Women,
the State Bureau Of Motor Vehicles
has decided, are not only more pro-
flcient or more considerate" auto
mobile drivers than men but, as
pedestrians, they do less "jay-
walking"
That conclusion was based on a
report Of pedestrian accidents for
what it termed two typical months
January and July, 1938-in which
5,263 accidents killed 207 pedestrians
and injured $500.
LESS than per cent of all drivers
involved in fatal and only Al per
cent of those involved in non-fatal
pedestrian accidents were women"
the report says. while it is true
the majority of motor vehicle oper-
ators are men, the ratio of man
drivers to woman drivers is not as
great as Is the ratio of accidents in
volving male drivers to accidents in
volving the woman operator"
Asserting women "also have bet
ter record as pedestrians" the re-
port said deaths of male pedestrians
exceeded those of women by three
to one.

Thomas A. KeIeher Feted
By Associates

Thomas A. Keleher, 10, an au-
thority on silkworm culture, was
honored today as he planned to
retire November 80 from the staff of
the Bureau of Entomology after
serving in the Department of Agri-
culture for nearly SIS years.
Secretary Wallace and group of
employees had planned party for
Mr.. Keleher at pm. this afternoon
in the cafeteria of the south build
ing.
Mr.. Keleher entered the depart
ment as 15-year-old messenger. In
the COS he began the study of silk
worms. He continued these studies
from time to time, as appropriations
were made available, and in the
early part of the century demon
strated that silkWorms and the null
berry plants on which they feed
thrive in virtually every section of
the country.
1t was determined, however, that
the cost of raising the worms and of
producing their silk was too high to
compete with raw silk from the
Orient, and in 1908 Congress discon-
tinued the experiments. Since then
Mr.. Keleher has been engaged in
classifying chronological CORE
spondence.
He kept up his interest in the silk
worm, though, and at his own ex-
pense, during the administration of
Secretary David F., Houston, pub
lished pamphlet on the subject
which has been in wide demand and
now is in its second edition. He be-
gan raising silkWorms in the attic
of his home and supplied them at
small cost to colleges and research
laboratories.
Mr.. Keleher says the silkworm is
the only true domestic insect, since
it will stay quite contentedly in one
spot so long as it has plenty of null
berry leaves to eat. Other insects
he points out, invariably run away
whenever they can. disliking the
company of human beings, even
when fed and treated kindly.

S3,350,000,000
Credit Pool Sets
Airline High
Excess Reserves Seen
Busis for Is Billion
In Looms
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The national banking systems
potential credit pool has reached an
all-time high.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported yesterday that on November
% member banks had $3.50, 000, 900
in excess of reserves, leaving that
amount available for lending and
investment.
Board experts said this excess
could provide the basis for more
than $25 900, 900 900 worth of credit.
At the same time, the board an
nounced that industrial production
increased sharply in October and
the first three weeks of November.
The board estimated October pro-
duction at So per cent OF the 1923-25
average, compared with 80 in Sep
TENDER, rs at the recession low in
May and 1O2 in october of last year.
Unofficial estimates placed the
probable November index at about
100.
Goid Turned Into Cash.
FdTJ VI VIC ulCl CdoC III vain w
posts has resulted from the admin
istration's discontinuance of formal
gold sterilization last April. At that
time, 81 100000 worth of gold
which had been purchased with bor-
roWed money was turned into cash,
adding to the store of idle money.
The Federal Reserve Board added
$75O,OO0,000 to the hoard by reducing
reserve requirements.
Later, three Federal banking
agencies added another credit in
centive by liberalizing Slightly the
examination rules and methods
which usually influence loan policies
of the banks.
The administration hoped that
the availability of credit and the
desire of banks to convert idle money
into earning assets would break the
loan jam and step up business &C
tivity.
Figure Is Tripled.
The excess reserve figure an
nounced yesterday was three times
do 4d1 &c Do dU VIC UCR lllIll1lS VI llllS
year, rejecting in part the influx of
billions of dollars of foreign gold.
The only previous time when idle
money in banks has approached the
present level was during the last few
weeks of 1885 and the first half of
1886 At that time the Federal Re-
serve Board artificially reduced it
by increasing the percentage of de-
posts which banks are required to
lock up as reserves.
Also in 1887 the Treasury bor-
rowed equivalent sums as rapidly as
incoming gold increased American
bank deposits, thus holding down
the excess reserve level.
When the Treasury abandoned
this policy in April as a move to
combat recession deposits were
swelled not only by new gold, but
also by the metal which had pre-
viously been isolated from the credit
structure by the sterilization pro-
gram.

Like AI'Copone Case

English law once punished multi
tude of crimes, big and little, with
the sentence of death, but curiously
enough omitted to punish the at
tempt to murder by death. Thus a
servant who had attempted to muir
der his master by giving him Is
wounds with a Ratchet was convicted
and executed, not for murder, but
because he had committed burglary
when obliged to lift the latch of his
masters door to get at his victim.
