I YOUR LEISURE HOURS T IKE a machine, you only rust while you are idle. Rest is necessary. Idleness Is not. Ideas come oftenest in your leisure hours., p.y making use of these hours, not only for rest and recreation, but for thought, you may make them the most valuable pari of your life. This is particularly true of men who are employed upon tasks which require more attention than inventiveness. There Is much tedious work to be done In the world. Once the motions are learned there is nothing to do but follow them. Day after Jay it Is the same thing over 'again, till the mind becomes numb and the heart sick with ; sheer weakness. If you have this kind of a job, you will have to do most of your thinking In your hours of leisure. It Is then that your brain, relieved of the strain of constant attention to a humdrum I job. will tie at Its best. It is then that you will have time to read—to think, to consider the future and what you mean to do in it. Even the dullest duties can be done better by a thoughtful man than by an unthinking one. But if you are engaged on—we will say—a commonplace bookkeeping job, yon will have no time to figure out better ways of working while you are bent over your desk with your pen in your band. Your attention will be wholly consumed by the labor. When th? labor Is done for the day—when you can Something to Think About By F. A.

We al! have within our breast this compelling force, striving at every crucial moment of our life to obtain mastery over our intel- ! lect and reason. In times of stress, when confronted by serious problems, or when passion takes sudden possession of us and temporarily dwarfs our sense of judgment. we become aware of our weak- j nes>—our Inclination to be controlled I by impulse l rather than by well-weight-ed thought or clearly defined purpose.

• But What Would Become of Lawyers?
N EXCELLENT example of the importance of using precise and illuminating language to convey an intended
iA
• | meaning Is furnished in the branch i i hank case now pending before the •I Supreme court of the United States. I This case, which is In the form of a { lawsuit between the state of Missouri i and the First National bank of St. J Louis, is costing thousands of dollars • and consuming a vast amount of time J of the Supreme court, of lower courts, • of bank officials aiKPof lawyers. JI Section 5190 of the revised statutes • of the United States says: “The i usual business of each national bank- • ing association shall l>e transacted at ■ an office or banking house located in • the place specified in its organization l certificate.” • This is the loose, imprecise lan- • guage which has caused all the trouble. The question is: When the law says “an office or banking house” does it mean merely one office or banking house and when it says “in the place" does it mean definitely a single location? The national banks of the country hold that the law means to permit
Crissinser and Federal Reserve Banks
It. CRISSINGER of Marion, 0., has taken office as governor of the federal reserve board, the body which
D.
stands at the head of the American monetary and banking system. During liis administration of that office he hopes to settle the indst fundamental question which now confronts the system, t! .it is, whether the twelve federal reserve hanks actually shall be banks of reserve or active, operating banks. The original theory of the federal ; reserve act was that these twelve banks should occupy a position in relation to .the credit of the country comparable to the position a fire engine occupies to the buildings of a community. It was the plan that the banks should come to the aid of the financial community in times of stress, and that, in the intervals, they should I remain practically dormant. The history of the federal reserve system has been an exciting one. The twelve banks opened In the autumn of 1914, not long after the European war had broken out. The opening of the banks was In the midst of unparalleled disorder and excitement in the financial world. Right through the war years and

Drawn Battle in Direct Primary Fight
ROGRESSIVES and conservatlves have fought a drawn battle over the direct primary in the various state legislatures
p
which met this year. As a result tiie preconvention contests in the two parties next year will have to be conducted on substantially the same basis as in 1920, with popularly el >cted delegates still somewhat short of a majority. The last few of 41 state legislatures which met this year are winding up their affairs without tile passage of a single new law advancing the direct presidential primary system. The big drive of the progressive radical group In congress to put over presidential primaries in eighteen additional states failed. The campaign was launched, the bills introduced, considerable publicity expended on them by the La Follette group here, and that was as far as they got In Idgho a new electoral bill passed by the Borah adherents was vetoed, I leaving matters in statu quo. Minor changes were made in the laws here
In alleging that Germany deliberately inflated its currency and destroyed values, the association contends - that “the act of sovereignty in making printing presses such a prolific source for the Issuing of currency, without any relation to the gold standard, serves ®s a repudiation of its debts, and becomes internationally illegal conduct insofar as It affects creditors in foreign lands." “The German government,” the association says, “buys Its dollars through the medium of German exchange bankers. These exchange bankers obtain dollars by various methods, such as selling of German securities through their correspondents in the United States. “It is an economic fact, agreed to by all, that Germany is Inflating its currency to such an extent that it is only a matter of a very short time before these securities will become valueless.
national banks to open as many branches as they desire in as many places and that the use of the words “an office or banking house” is merely typical of the sort of business which may be done. The state governments and state banks and trust companies, the competitors of national banks, take the other view and contend that the language means to authorize but a single banking house at a single place for each national bank. This case started when the First National bank in St. Louis decided that nothing in tlie law forbade the opening of branches and proceeded to open a branch in St. Louis. At the same time it announced it would open others later. The attorney general of the state of Missouri immediately brought suit to oust the bank from Its branch and enjoin it against opening others. The Missouri courts upheld the contentions of the attorney general of the state and ordered the bank to give up its branch and open no others. The bank then appealed to the Supreme court of the United States. That is where the case rests now.
then in the period of business boom with subsequent depression, these new banks bad to operate at top speed. As fiscal agents of the government they had to bear the brunt of the Liberty bond distribution and perform all manner of services for the banks. They had no respite until about a year or eighteen months ago when American business finally settled back to something like normal conditions Here where the rub came. Necessarily they built up large staffs. The federal reserve bank of New York a)one has 3,000 employees. The large volume of emergency business they had been doing during these years brought in big earnings—many millions every year. This combination of circumstances led the officers of these banks to expect constant activity and big returns. When the end of the period came, the attitude of mind could not instantly change nor could the big staffs be cut down rapidly. What Governor Crlsslnger faces is tile difficult task of cutting down the expenses of these institutions, so they will be able to mark time, so to speak, between periods of money stress, holding themselves in reserve —acting, in fact, as reserve banks.
I to New York the sugar market sudI denly broke ftiid Deßonde was left ■ with the 5,000 tons on his hands and a loss of $1,700,000. He came to Washington to prove his i claim and collect It. He set about I making friends and nobody ever essayed it more cleverly. Establishing j himself in one of the corner suites of ; , the Willard hotel, he kept “open . . house” in a manner that won the un- . stinted admiration of bellhops. The Deßonde claim passed the senate on January 6, 1922, by a vote of 31 to 24. There was pending at the . same time a similar claim of the American Trading company for $2,500,000. Both claims were investigated by a special subcommittee of the house , agricultural committee. President Harding signed the reso- ’ lutlon authorizing payment of the . American Trading company’s claim, but declined to sign the Deßonde resi olutlon and it became law without his signature. However, Mr. Harding re- > fused to exercise his authority under it.
and there, but nothing Important was done in the big states. On the other hand, the similar drive of the reactionary groups to do away with direct primaries and re-establish party conventions met generally with a like fate. In several legislatures bills got out of committee or even were passed by one house, but always they were blocked before becoming a taw. The results generally of the legislatures was a standoff on the primary fight. Taxation was the principal subject wrangled over in practically all the states, although new prohibition legislation came up in some twenty-five legislatures. Starting in March, vhen the first legislatures ended their work, down to Pennsylvania and one or two other states which are entering the fast lap of their sessions, the dominant note has been legislation killed rather than what was passed. Everywhere the state lawmakers were confronted with a demand that local taxes be cut down or at least -held in check, . -

The letter, in part, is as follows: “We hope you will see fit to give at least 1,000 days, for he suro is the terror of his street. He has no respect for ladies or children. He don’t work, just lays around, runs a game at his home, sells ‘mule,’ gets drank, puts wife out of house in her night clothes, uses all kinds of language. carries gun, snatches pocketbooks and holds up. The whole street belongs to him when he runs amuck I playing bad.” —Indianapolis News. Fresh, sweet, white, dainty clothes for baby, if you use Red Cross Ball Blue. Never streaks or Injures them.

The residence castle has been occupied by a picture gallery; a German tapestry museum is to be opened there shortly. It is rumored that the famous castle Wilhelmshohe, in which Napoleon HI lived ns a prisoner, is to be converted into a hotel. One of the most beautiful castles of central Germany is the Orange castle in the Karlssuci, which somewhat resembles the Sansouci of Potsdam. The government in Cassel uses it for exhibition purposes.
