WASHINGTON, May 25.—Econ omy in individual expenditures, re duction of non-essential loans by -banks, increased production and im proved transportation are needed to reduce the cost of living and de flate credits, Governor Harding of - the Federal Reserve board declared today in responding to a senate reso lution of inqury. The board is not prepared to de fine what are essential and non esential loans, Governor Harding stated. This, he said, is a problem of local bankers familiar with local needs. Governor Harding’s letter, pre sented to the senate today by Vice President Marshall, came in response to the resolution of Senator Mc- Cormick, Republican, Illinois, adopt ed recently, requesting information regarding what steps the board con templated “to meet the existing in flation of currency and credits and consequent high prices” and what measures were proposed to mobilize credits for movement of the 1920 crop. Reviewing the board’s warnings to federal reserve members against ex tending credits and its increase of discount rates, Governor Harding said the board for months "has recognized that the expansion ot bank credits . . . was proceeding at a rate not warranted by the pro duction and consumption of goods. The discount rate advances, Gov ernor Harding said, have checked credit transactions somewhat, but "have not been entirely effective in bringing about the reduction in loans desired and which might normally have been expected during the early months of the year.” Loans Have Increased "On the contrary,” he said, “com mercial loans have steadily increas ed. Thus it appears that the pub lic has anticipated demands for banking credit which are usually made later on in the year. “The average reserves of Federal Reserve Banks are now a little over 42 1-2 per cent,” he added. "as against 45 per cent at the beginning of the year and about 51 per cent twelve months ago.” Governor Harding told of the re cent conference here of the Federal reserve advisory council and its rec ommendations for curtailment of credits together with the opinion that congestion of transportation facilities is tying up great quanti ties of foodstuffs. "The board is convinced,” Gov ernor Harding continued, "that if the unsold portions of last year’s crops can be brought to market before the new crop matures, the liquidation of credits which are now tied up in carrying the old crops will be suf ficient to offset to a considerable degree the credit demands ... in moving the crop of 1920.” In the efforts to reduce non-es sential loans, Governor Harding said banks were cautioned against drastic curtailments and advised to seek gradual liquidation, and to grant loans stimulating essential produc tion. “The problem of the banking sys tem of the country,” he continued. “Is to check further expansion and to bring about a normal and healthy liquidation without curtailing es sential production and without shock to industry and legitimate commerce. \ “It is the view of the board that while the federal reserve banks may properly undertake in their trans actions' with member banks to dis criminate between essential and non essential loans, nevertheless that discrimination might much better be made at the source by the member banks themselves.” On Traffic Congestion Regarding congestion of merchan i dise and traffic, Governor Harding said: "It is true that under existing conditions the volume of credit re quired in any transaction is much greater than was the case in pre war times; but it is also true that the resources, of the member an.i non-member banks would .be ample to take care of the essential busi ' neSs of the Country and to a large extent of non-essentials as well if 'there were a freer flow of goods and Credit. If ‘frozen loans’ weredjquir -fied and if commodities which ate "held back either for speculative pur poses or because of lack of transpor tation facilities should go to the markets, and if large stock of mer chandise should be reduced, the re sultant release of credit would have almost beneficial effect upon the general situation. In the meantlm® everything must be done to expedite the release of these credits and tt> restrict non-essential credits in fu ture. “The board will not hestitate, so far as may be necessary, to bring to bear all its statutory powers in regulating the volume of credit. "Much will depend upon the res toration of the normal efficiency of railroad and steamship lines. _ If adequate transportation facilities can be provided the board sees no occasion for apprehension in con nection With the movement of crops now being grown.” How to Heal Leg Sores A WONDERFUL treatment that heals leg sores or Varicose Ulcers without pain or knife is described in a new book which readers may get free by writing a card or letter to Dr. H.

The indictment against Morse charged that the vessel which sub sequently was torpedoed and sunk in May, 1918, was sold through a Paris concern to the government of Tunis for $500,000 without permis sion of the United States shipping board and without giving that body an opporunity to purchase the craft at the price offered by the foreign purchaser. With Morse were in dicted Captain W. £|. Mitchell, of London, the United States Steam ship company and the J. G. McCol lough company.

The word money was derived from mone ta, one of the surnames of Juno, in whose temple the Romans first made coins. The word wint is supposed to be a contraction of the word mone ta through the Anglo-Saxon “mynet.” When we read that sterling has fallen in exchange value who knows the Origin of the term? Yet it is traced to the inhabitants of the Han so Towns, known as Esterlings, who were invited by King John, of Eng land, to come to England and reform the currency which had become very corrupt. From that date good Eng lish money was known as sterling. The shilling is from the Anglo- Saxon shilling, meaning a twentieth so it takes twenty shillings to make a pound. The English farthing meant the fourth of a penny and was actually broken from a penny In olden days when the pennies were indented with a full cross so heavily that they could be snapped into four. This was a solution of making change, as the primitive understood it. The franc is only another way of spelling the silver coin of the Cordial Greetings Are by Presbyterian Bodies M’KENZIE, Tenn., May 25.—For the first time since the division arose in the Cumberland Presbyterian church oveT union with the Presby terian church, U. S. A., the assembly of the latter church in session at Philadelphia and the Cumberland Presbyterian general assembly, which concludes its session here today, have exchanged greetings. In re sponse to greeting from the Pres byterian general assembly, U. S. A., the assembly here has directed Dr. D. W. Fooks, stated clerk, to send the following response: “In the spirit of our Lord and Savior, we accept and return said greetings and earnestly join in the desire for the day when all bar riers against a common fellowship shall have been removed.” The committee’s report of the re sponse yesterday was greeted by great applause. The vote adopting it was practically unanimous and the announcement of the vote was fol lowed by the singing of the doxology. The committee to which was re ferred memorials relative to ordain ing women as elders, deacons and ministers reports that the proposi tion which had been referred to the presbyteries for a vote has been lost, eighteen presbyteries out of seven ty-two voting favorably and twenty nine adversely. According to D. M. McAnulty, chairman of the commit tee on judiciary, the action does not signify that the church is altogether opposed to women participating 1n these offices, but means that the church is opposed to any change In the verbiage of the constitution. Mrs. W. M. Bennett, Fresno, Cal., has been seated as a commissioner by this as sembly. Woman Hides From Husband 24 Years LONDON. England, May 20.—A di lapidated dwelling in the quaint lit the village of Midhurst, Sussex surely Will be known as the “House with the Green Shutters.” Although a woman lias occupied the house for twenty-four years, very few of the 1,000 villagers knew she lived there. She was almost as completely hidden from the world as if she had dwelt in a wilderness. The secret was revealed only when she died recently. Years and years ago. when she was 30, she married a man younger than herself. Soon she regretted the step; suddenly she disappeared. Undoubtedly her pur pose in hiding herself was to de prive her husband of any claim on her money; which was her own. So well did she seclude herself that her husband believed her dead— until she died. Learning of this through the law’s channels, he ap plied for letters of administration to her estate. Closest Kin Not Informed Even the woman’s closest relatives did not know her whereabouts for years. She had not even told her sister. “If you ever-need me put an advertisement for a cook in certain newspapers,” was her only message when departing. Years passed. Every day the wife without a husband must have studied the advertisement columns of the newspapers she had fixed upon. The call came in 1896. The woman an swered it and went to the “house with the green shutters,” to her sis ter. There, too, lived their brother, but, unknown to him, this secretive, lonely woman entered the house. Un known to him, she occupied a room there. He and his sister died. The woman in hiding div\elt there until her last day. No one lever saw her out of doors. Fall Into Niagara, Survive NIAGARA FALLS —Although they fell 150 feet into the Niagara gorge Thomas Meroczk and his eight year-old daughter came out alive and are in a local hospital.

Our own dollar has a German origin, having been the thaler or more fully, Joatchlm’s thaler, the silver coin struck out of the silver found in the thal or valley of St. Joachim, France. This was extreme ly pure and being coined into ounces gave the real basis of the silver dol lar which weighs an ounce. Few stop to consider what a cent is. It meant a hundredth, the French word for hundred, and is the appro priate name for the coin, which is one-hundredth of a dollar. The quar ter is easy, for it is one-fourth of the dollar. The nickel is so-called because of the metal from which it is made and the dime is a tenth, from the old French disme, traced to the Latin decern, ten. When you visit a mint and see the great bars of gold and silver and are told that thi sis bullion, you may not know what the word is from the Latin bulin, meaning rounded, and referring to the rounding of these bars by art. The $lO gold-piece Is so-called an eagle because of the print of the eagle on it, just as the English crown received its name from the crown on its reverse side. In coins the side bearing a head is known as the obverse, that bearing any other device as the reverse. In matching coins, we speak of one side as the head, the other as the tail. Excessive Pricey for Sugar Charged to Refineries’ Officials BOSTON. May 25.—The federal government today took action against sugar refiners here for alleged prof iteering and hoarding. The Revere Sugar refinery and Henry E. Worcester, its vice presi dent, were charged with exacting excessive prices and with holding sugar from the market and the Amer ican Sugar Refining company and W. K.

Some of these students open shops of their own in Bond street, where $lO,- 000 a year is no rare figure for the profits of a year.

May 25.—William J. Bryan took flat issue today with President Wilson on the question of an American mandate over Armenia, declaring in a statement that "any mandate is impossible.” The United States, Mr. Bryan said, could do no more toward making the world safe for democracy, “even for democracy in Armenia,” than by rec ognizing the Armenian republic and entering the League of Nations “as the friend of all little countries.” “Any mandate is impossible,” Mr. Bryan’s statement said. without other peace. Would Mean Expense "The one proposed for Armenia it accepted would involve us in an enormous expenditure in a time when war. taxation is still so grievous a burden that congress has difficulty in finding the money necessary to do justice to the men who served in the World war, * “It would involve us in the poli tics of Europe and would compel us to deal with implacable race hat reds. "It would involve us in the fierce commercial rivalry of the big na tions. “But, worst of all, it would com pel us to surrender a vital principle of democracy, namely, that all peo ple are capable of self-government. Nearly 100 years ago Henry Clay set forth the American view on this sub ject in dealing with aspirations ot South American republics. Refer ring to the old contention of mon archists that subject peoples, were incapable of self-government. Clay declared it to be a reflection on the Almighty to assume that He would create peoples incapable of self government and leave them to be the victims of kings and emperors. Opposes Exploitation “All the colonial exploitation of helpless peoples is defended on the theory of their incapacity tor self government. We cannot indorse this theory. It would be injurious to the Armenians instead of a kindness to affirm or admit them Incapable ot self-government. If it were once admitted, they would never be per mitted to outgrow the presumption of incapacity because consent to their independence would encourage other subject peoples to ask for in dependence. "Christianity does not require us to abandon our ideas of government or to adopt monarchical forms in rendering aid to suffering peoples. American ideas are entirely consist ent with Christianity. We can rec ognize the independence of the Ar menian republic and send as min ister to Armenia a man who has faith in democracy and who believes that governments should rest upon con sent of the governed. He can advise with Armenian officials when they desire advice and help them as a friend. We can be of much more service to them in this way than we can by exercising authority over them. Then, if we will ratify the treaty and enter the League of Na tions as the friend of all the little countries and insist on universal dis armament we may be able to make the world safe for democracy—even for democracy in Armenia.” Hero Hurt, but Doctors Fail to Revive Pussy PORTSMOUTH, N. H„ May 20. Urban Bernard Wright, a quarter master attached to the U. S. S. Rap pahannock, had a narrow escape from death when he jumped overboard from the gunboat Paducah in an ef fort to save the ship’s cat “Minnie,” which had fallen into the river. Wright saw the cat struggling in the water and plunged overboard, a fifteen feet. He struck a ledge below and injured his arm and leg so severely that they be came useless and for a short time it looked us though he would drown before aid could reach him. How ever, he grabbed the cat with his one good arm and hung onto a line until other members of the crew res cued him. "Minnie” and Wright were rushed to the sick bay where they were given first aid treatment. The ship’s doctor worked on the cat for some time, but failed to revive her. A Million for Mink Skins ST. LOUIS. —The opening of the second and last week of the annual spring auction of furs, at the inter national fur exchange, brought a to tal of about $1,000,000 in sales but showed a decline of about 30 per cent in prices. Phillip B. Fouke, president of the exchange, explained, however, that the decline does not necessarily mean reduction to the consumer. The offering of 160,000 mink at tracted many bidders but the collec tion was not of the quality of that at the winter sale, when mink price's reached a record. First grade dark eastern skins sold up to S3O; medium grades from $lO to sl2 and the poorer grades from $5 to $7. The offerings for Tuesday embrace 7,800 Russian sable, 37 Japanese sa ble and 9 sea otter. Sables from Ja pan are much lighter in color than the Russian variety and far less val uable. Sea otter is almost a curi osity in the fur market; its fur Is of high value and has been sold as high as $2,000 a pelt.' ROYAL BAKING POWDER Pure THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1920. JOHNSON WINS NO BIG VICTORY, TAFT DECLARES BY WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT (Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.) PORTLAND, Ore., May 25.—The Oregon election has resulted in a victory for Johnson, but by no means a sweeping one. Johnson has some pro-league votes which were offset by anti-league votes against him. But, on the whole, it is fair to say that the total vote against Johnson, as compared with his total vote, represents the public opinion in Oregon in favor of the league with the Lodge reservations. Every man but one of the delegates elected made a public statement that he was for the league with the res ervations. The man who was elected by the largest majority was not only out spoken for the league, but he an nounced that if elected he would not vote for Johnson. This candidate leads the other delegates by some 6,000 to 8,000. There is only one John son man on the delegation. The rest will leave Johnson as soon as they decently can. The league entered very fully into the campaign. Mr. Hoover advised his supporters not to urge his candi dacy, but to vote for delegates who were for the league. He could not prevent a substantial vote for him, but his advice in respect to delegates for the league was followed. Johnson had his usual support ot the Sinn Feiners, the pro-Germans, the railroad labor organizations and the radicals. His prestige from the California election aided him much. Ln Oregon one who has not registered as a Republican cannot vote in the Republican primary, but a great many Sinn Feiners and railroad men registered as Republicans in order to vote for Johnson, but they will cer tainly not vote for any other Re publican candidate than Johnson. In ether words, they are not Repub licans. The election shows one of those ridiculous results that we not In frequently have from general pri maries. and one wonders how long the people and the parties will be willing to continue this farce, which is destructive of the usefulness of parties. A party is useful as its return to power means the carrying out of a definite governmental poli cy. Under the primary ‘ system, where candidates are selected not by the loyal party members, but by fac tional groups of the party, the choice is not controlled by party loyalty or interest In the party and its policies. Such a system does not make for effective and useful party action after a victory is won. The Oregon election for Johnson is like the Mich igan election, and like those in other states in which he gains the prestige of a popular vote swelled by non- Republicans and gets a few dele gates who will not play with him to the end. The Oregon delegation can be counted on as voting in the con vention strongly in favor of the league with the Lodge reservations. $lO in Bank, He Bids $3,000,000 for Ships NEW YORK, N. Y.—With a bank account of $lO E. A. Moulton New Rochelle, a $5 3 a week employe of a steamship firm, startled the congressional committee investigat ing th# relations of the Morse inter ests with the United States ship ping board, with a recital of how he negotiated with Charles W. Morse in an attempted purchase of sou" steamships valued at $750,000 each. Moulton said he intended to pur chase the steamers Huron, St. Paul, Binghamton and Minneapolis from the United States Steamship com pany, and that he gave Charles w. Morse, head of this company, person al checks for $340,000 toward the purchase. The checks were dated in advance. Reminded by Representative Tom Connally, of Texas, that he had pre viouslv admitted having only $lO in a New Rochelle bank, Moulton said he intended to put the money up to cover the checks if the deal had not collapsed when the United States government refused to transfer the ships to Canadian registry. Says She Taught Her Parrott to “Cuss” ATLANTIC CITY.—If a wife teaches a parrot to “cuss out’ her husband, is it sufficient grounds for divorce? , „ „ This issue has been put up to Spe cial Master in Chancery Slack in the suit brought by Maltby H. Messick, a city fireman and overseas veteran, against Mary R. Messick. Mrs. Mamie Allen, a relative of the defendant, testified that during a visit to her home in Philadelphia, Mrs. Messick had a parrot in her room with her constantly and it received a regular schooling in mod ern cussing. Mrs. Messick, according to Mrs. Allen, said she was “teaching the bird to cuss and swear so it could express her opinion of her husband tvhen he got home.” Messick, who was a top sergeant in Battery D, 112th artillery, admitted the bird had an entirely new line "that was worse than any German gas he had bumped into.” Capt. Hiram Steelman, his old commander, now his counsel, pins his entire case on the linguistic parrot.
