Restrain Deposits

From the point of view of
banking authorities this policy
may require at an appropriate
time In the future, the absOrp-
ton into required reserves of
n portion of the idle funds held
by banks. Such an absorption
would reduce the pressure on
the banks to find outlets for
their funds In United States
bonds and would facilitate the
placing of the larger part Of the
new issues with nOnbanking
investors.
1t would also make banks
more careful to avoid the ex-
tension of credit fer -aHseuHd
speculative purposes and would
restrain further the already am
pie volume of bank deposits.
All this would contribute to
the effectiveness of the defense
effort and would make less dis
ruptive the readjustment period
to come.

Means OF preventing initiation
include a fiscal policy which de-
ponds increasingly on taxation as
the national income advances.
Such policy would be supple
mented by program whereby
necessary borrowing by the gov

come out of investment funds and
not out of the creation of addi-
tional bank deposits through the
sale of United States bonds to the
banks. This line of policy has
already been accepted by this

Rdyon Industry
Enjoys Further
Progress in 40
New Markets Aid as
Domestic Output
Jumps "a Per Cent

NEW YORK, April 26. - The
year 1910 witnessed another broad
stride in the development Of the
rayon industry, as domestic out
put climbed to All. 100000 pounds
from 79.9Oo.000 produced in the
preceding annum. according to
Fitch Investors Service. AS a
sequel to this "a per cent gain,
United States consumption Of
rayon yarn advanced 8 per cent
to 487 100000 pounds from 49,
500, 900 in 1899.
AS the change in producers in
ventories was slight, it is obvious
that imports of cellulose fibre de-
clined. Since importation of yarn
is confined almost exclusively to
staple fibre, il is interesting to
note that rapid growth of domes-
tic capacity made available to cor
sumers virtually the same guam
tity as absorbed in 1899.
Progress is depicted in the fol-

But the Germans saw the possibility, perfected
jumping technique for extremely low attitudes that
gave the sharpshooters little time to shoot you know
how well that worked in Norway Belgium, Holland.
Now America has gone back to parachute-train-

working at Fort Bennng to produce trained, heavily
armed men to be dropped behind the lines of any
enemy.
But now the United States Marine Corps, in the
navy department has taken up .parachuting. The
Marine Corps is Americas real first striking force,
for it may be ordered anywhere in the world by the
President alone.
Here's how the marines do it.
