Bright Prospects
Loom for Rabbit

Besides acting on the option pro-
position at the meeting Friday, all the
old directors Of the Mesabi Iron COM
pany were reelected as follows: D. c.
Jackling, w. G. Swart, A. j. Ronaghan,
R. B. Hindle, William Harrison, Har-
vey S. Mudd, j. c. Clifford, r. G..
Stone and r. M Bellmer.
The news of the transaction whereby
the option to the Reserve company
is given meets with enthusiastic re-
ception by the residents of Babbitt
who have steadfastly maintained that
the property is one of the best on the
Mesabi range and only needed new
capital to develop its possibilities. With
the influx of the Oglebay Norton in
terestS it is supposed that the little
city will again prosper as it is said
that when work begins it will take
minimum of 100000 to place the
plants in condition for operation at
capacity double the ability of the Bah
bitt undertaking to produce Suffered
iron ore.
The business interests of this city
are also elated over the prospects of
resumption of activities at Rabbit
The works are only about 20 miles from
Ely with excellent roads leading
thereto. When the plant was operated
a few years ago. the crews working
there made Ely their shopping head
quarters.
Whether or not the plans of the
option holders contemplate early work
at the plant cannot be learned.

In addition to writing prose and
poetry, of which her first book was
published in New York in 1922,
Senorita Mistral is interested in So
Geological studies. She has been
honored by Latin American govern
lhents both for her work in this
field and for her artistic produc-
tions. She also has written and
campaigned much for child well
fare.
Senorita Mistral and her secre-
tary, Senorita Consuelo Saleva, have
just returned from a year and a
half in South America, where the
poetess lectured in schools and be-
fore organizations throughout the
continent.
A modest, strong featured, pleas
ant woman with graying hair, Sen
orita Mistral has been described as
primarily mystic, but with prac-
tical mysticism rather than the
mysticism of quietness and seclu-
sion." A distinguished educator and
literary figure, the Chilean poetess
also demonstrates her practical ma
ture by acting as Chilean Consul
at Nice, in France. Formerly she
was Consul at Madrid and Lisbon.

Bill Protecting D. {.
Banks From Unjust
Claims Reported
Places Limits on
Actions Involving
Errors and Frauds

The Senate District Committee
made a favorable report late yester-
day on the bill to protect banks in
Washington from unjust claims and
unreasonable responsibilities. The
report was filed by Senator Hughes,
Democrat, of Delaware, chairman Of
a subcommittee to which the meas
ure had been referred with power to
act. Chief provisions of the bill are:
To allow banks to refuse payment
on checks presented more than a
year after being made out, unless
the maker directs the bank to honor
such checks.
Would relieve banks of liability
for forged checks unless the de-
positor notifies the bank of the fraud
within six months after receiving
his Cancelled checks. The effect Of
the provision would be to make it
advisable for depositors to examine
their Cancelled checks.
To protect banks from being sued
for unreasonable amounts for er-
roneously turning down checks that
should have been paid. The bill pro-
vides that in such cases the bank S
liability shall not exceed the amount
of actual proven damage.
The bill also provides that when
an adverse claim is filed to a de-
posit standing on the books Of q
bank to the credit of some one else,
the adverse claimant must obtain
a court order and to post a bond to
indemnify the bank against possible
loss for paying such claim, or for
refusing to honor checks Of the de-
positor pending settlement of the
issue.
The committee reported that the
proposed safeguards are reasonable
and would not be obtained at the
expense of depositors.

Famed Chilean Poetess Finds
Themes Throughout World
Gabrielle Mistro| |, Who
Knows No English,
Gives Readings Here

An exciting life, which has carried
Gabriela Mistral from the isolated
city of Magallanes at the SOUTH
ermost tip of Chile, through both
Americas and to many countries In
Europe, has furnished the Chilean
poetess with unlimited material for
the writing of her verse and prose.
known and read all over Spanish
America, as we'll as in Europe, where
her work has been translated into
several languages, Senorita Mistral
is considered by many competent
critics to be one of the foremost
woman poets of the Spanish Ian
guage
Tonight she is to speak on Human
Geography" and to tell of the life
of the people of Chile at the Pan
American Union, before she leaves
for New York tomorrow, to sail
March for France.
Last night, however, Senorita
Mistral, who speaks no English at
all, read some of her verse and
prose to small audience at the
Bookshop, at I'LL H street NV.
Franciso Aguilera, attached to the
Pan-American Union, interpreted
for those who did not speak Spanish.
Narrating revealing bits of her
life as background for her verse
and prose, Senorita Mistral said her
real name is Lucila Godoy, and she
was born in Vicuna, in the northern
part of Chile.
Il was born in the valley of Elqui
at the foot of the Andes" she said,
explaining the background of the
poem "All of Us Were Going to be
Queens"
While acting as head of a school
at Magallanes from 1918 to 1922
Senorita Mistral wrote "A Teach
er's Prayer to God" A devout Cath
olic, Senorita Mistral says she was
ashamed at the reputation of piety
she gained because of this piece of
prose, because she confesses to writ
ing it out of pure vindictiveness In
order to plague governor of the
territory who threatened to dis
solve the Federation of Workers, a
movement in which she was intense
ly interested.

A. B. T.. Board
Starts Drive
On Signs
Retailers Ordered
To Remove Display
Of Brund Names

A drive against a display of beer,
whisky and wine signs by retail
beverage dealers those signs which
are visible from the street-was be-
gun today by the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board in cooperation with
the Federal Alcohol Administration.
The Federal agency, it was re-
vealed, has ordered that retailers
remove from their windows and
buildings, by next Wednesday all
beer signs bearing trade marked OF
brand names. Since the F. A. A.
must have cooperation from local
authorities, the District board
adopted an order effective at once,
prescribing that hereafter retailers
may make use of signs visible from
the street only after prior approval
has been given by the A. B. G.
Board.
The order of the local board will
apply to whisky and wine advertise
Ing signs, slogans and other matter,
as we'll as beer.
The extent to which the A. B. C..
Board will restrict replacement of
any exterior signs which may be
taken down in compliance with the
program of the F. A. A. is to be de-
termined later by the board. Agents
Of the board now are beginning
preparation of specific rules and
regulations. Mrs. Agnes K. Mason,
vice chairman of the A. B. c. Board,
said today these regulations would
be considered at a public hearing
before they were placed into effect.
Meanwhile, it appeared that the
retailers who remove exterior signs
In compliance with the order of the
Federal board would have to submit
any new signs they propose to use
to the A. B. c. Board for approval
before they could install them.
The Federal program, as it may
be co-ordinated with the plan of
the A. B. c. Board, was considered
at a recent conference between
representative of the malt industry
and spokesmen for the A. B. C.
Board.
During the last year or two there
have been protests that Washington
was unnecessarily "plastered with
liquor signs"
