Dangers Of Eating Prior
10 Swimming Explained

Commenting on the question of
eating before swimming, the Jour-
nal of the American Medical As
sociation says that: I'm the di-
gestive state the blood would nor
mally be concentrated in the diges-
tive organs is partly diverted to
the muscles when the latter become
active in any exercise. However,
the diversion is not complete enough
to supply the muscles adequately;
consequently neither these nor the
digestive organs are adequately sup
piled. Exercise in cool water thus
imposes demand which may re-
suit in cramped muscles with at
tendant dangers"
In answer to a question as to
whether it would be injurious or
dangerous to allow swimmers two
graham crackers and glass of
milk from Is minutes to a half
hour before swimming, the Journal
says that there should be no OBJ
jections to this amount of food one
half hour before swimming provid-
ed the subjects are in good state
of health, and that the demand i'm
posed by the small amount of food
specified should not be of severe
consequence.

LReserve Banks Again
Cut Holdings Of
Treasury Bills
$1,000, 900 Reduction
Made in Investments
In Six Weeks
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
ported another s35, 100000 reduction
of the investments of the IL Federal
Reserve banks in short-term Treas
ury bills.
This new cut made total reduc-
ton of Sill 100000 in six weeks, and
reduced holdings of bills to $685.
100000.
Since the banks have not replaced
the bills with other Federal obliga-
tions, the total holdings of Federal
securities by the banks has declined
by the same amount and now totals
$2,453 ,00O,O 900.
Because of pay roll requirements
at the end of July, money in circu-
lation increased $52,O00,000 during
the week ended August 2. This con-
tributed to decrease in the lend
able excess reserves of banks by
Fx20, 100000 to bring the total of
these idle funds to 81 460, 100000.
The boards statement said:
During the week ended August 2
member bank reserve balances de-
creased $23,000,000. Reductions in
member bank reserves arose from
increases of $52,000,0OO in money in
circulation and $121 100000 in Treas
ury deposits with Federal Reserve
banks and decrease of $4,000, 900
in Reserve bank credit, offset in
part by decreases of $136, 100000 in
Treasury cash and $28,O0O,0OO in
non-member deposits and other
Federal Reserve accounts and in
creases of S2l,0O0OOO in gold stock
and $2,000,000 in Treasury currency.
Excess reserves of member banks on
August were estimated to be ap-
nroximately s4,460, 100000, a decrease
OF S30,000000 for the week.
The principal change in holdings
OF bills and securities was a reduc-
ton of s35,0OO.0O0 in United States
Treasury bills"

balances and related items during

Pennroad Asks Delay
In Reorganization
OF New Haven
Wants Consolidation
With Boston & Maine;
PIon Opposed
BY the Associated Press.

BY ,tEe Associated PreSs.
The Pennroad Corp, a railroad
holding company, urged the Inter-
state Commerce Commission yester-
day to delay reorganization of the
New York, New Haven e. Hartford
System to permit consideration of a
possible consolidation of the New
Haven and the Boston & Maine
Railroad.
The commission also received
briefs from other parties in the pro-
ceeding urging prompt reorganiza-
ton of the New Haven. Among them
was one from the New Haven's man
agement, and others from groups
representing mutual savings bank
and insurance bondholders.
Pennroad holds 148,800 shares of
New Haven common It's brief
estimated that consolidation might
produce economies of about $5,-
100000 annually.
Points to Expenses.
The New Havens management
said a prompt reorganization was
of vital Importance" in order that
the rapidly mounting expenses of
reorganization may be minimized
and that the tremendous increase
in its present debt in the accrual
of unpaid interest on it's various
obligations may be curtailed."
The New Haven urged the COM
mission not to delay the reorgani-
zation because of controversies over
the disposal of the Old Colony and
the Boston & Providence Railroads,
which formed parts of the New
Haven System.
The insurance group urged that
the Old Colony not be included in
the reorganized New Haven System
ITO saddle upon the reorganized
New Haven one of the major burdens
which caused the present bank
ruptcy would be contrary to pur-
poses and objectives of section II OF
the Bankruptcy Act" the insurance
group said.
Old Colony Files Brief.
The New Haven proposes to in
clude the Boston e. Providence prop
critics and has expressed willingness
to include the Old Colony only if
relieved of the obligation to operate
passenger service in the Boston
community area.
The Old Colony itself filed a brief
in support of its own plan of re-
organization.
Under this plan the so-called
Boston group of lines would be aban-
doned and the remaining Old Colony
properties turned over to the New
Haven. Without abandonment OF
the Boston line, the Old Colony
said, all of the Old Colony prop
critics eventually would have to be
abandoned.
The City of Boston and the Boston
Port Authority objected to the re-
organized New Haven being per-
mitted to control the Boston Rail.
road Holding Co., in which the New
Haven now holds all the voting
stock The holding company ir
turn has working control of the

Control by the reorganized New
Haven of the Boston & Maine woule

competition at the New England
gateways and to existing routes ane

Revised Rules Intended
To Govern Dealings

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The Uni
form Practice Committee Of the
National Security Traders Associa-
ton has completed Its revision of
the inter-city uniform practice
rules intended to govern overtime
counter transactions between deal
ers throughout the country, it was
announced today by Willis M. Sum-
mers, president of the association
and member of the firm of Holt,
Rose e. Troster.
The new rules climax approxi-
mately two years of research on the
part of the Uniform Practice Com
mittee to establish a set of practices
which will place inter-city dealer
to-dealer trading in overtime
counter securities on nationally
uniform basis. The revised code
which reflects the suggestions and
criticisms of member dealers made
IN response to publication of the
code in it's preliminary form year
ago has been submitted to firms
throughout the country with which
association members are affiliated
for their approval, Mr.. Summers
said.
The revised code embodies studies
made by brokers and dealers
throughout the United States and
constitutes a workable synthesis of
the trading practices in various Sec
tions of the country which should
be acceptable to the majority of
over-the- counter houses" according
to Mr.. Summers.
The new code pertains specifically
to dealer-to-dealer transactions, Mr..
Summers points out, and in this
respect therefore the National Sc
curity Traders Association does not
compete with the new National As
sociation of Securities Dealers, Inc
Also, inasmuch as the new code per-
tains only to the handling of inter
city transactions between dealers, it
does not conflict with the rules of
the Investment Bankers Conference
which also concern fair practices.
To eliminate the possibility of con-
flict with local rules or customs in
various cities, regulations contained
in the new code of the National Sc
| curity Traders Association were
compiled to apply only to trades
made between dealers in different
cities
members of the Uniform Practice
Committee responsible for the new
code include Laurence B. Carroll
