JESERVE BANKS'
CRITICSAHSWERED
ATHENS, Ga., May 11.—Speaking
before the school of economics of
he University here Tuesday night,
B. Wellborn, governor of the
federal reserve bank of the sixth
Atlanta) district, replied to critics
rho have charged that the reserve
, 6 r ® tem Was in Part to blame for
h* period of depression, particularly
, B the agricultural districts.
He said that deflation naturally
ollowed the abnormal inflation that
jucceeded war conditions and de
ar _ that the only part the reserve
„ , played consisted in warning
ember banks to be careful in ex
ending credits, especially for ar
cies of luxury. He maintained that
dis was a sound and necessary bus
ness policy in a period of extrava-
L n< : j that economists foresaw
oma be followed by an era of de-
“But in no instance,” he
“ Sls ted, “did we withhold credit
legitimate and necessary de
aands of trade and commerce.”
, Credit for Farmers
as farmers were con
erned,” he continued, “we at no
une denied them credit. In the
tte summer and autumn of 1920,
then the price of cotton was fall
rapidly, and fears for the fu
ure were expressed by those who
“rectly represented the farming in
srests, we issued, in order to allay
tie prevalent anxiety, statements

re would extend ample credits, and
care of ou r banks in furnishing
unds to their customers for the
urpose of preventing the dumping

®t. I shall give you here some fig
ures to show to what extent the
itlanta bank went in order to take
*re of the situation in this dis
rict. On January 1, 1920, our loans
to P? etnber banks aggregated SBB,-
62,000; while, on November 1, 1920,
Ur total loans to member banks had
®ached the tremendous sum of
182,268,000.
“The federal reserve notes issued
our bank amounted to $165,000,-
00 on January 1, 1920; and increased
teadily to $174,000,000 on January
t 1921. These borrowings were al
lost entirely for agricultural pur
oses. Can any one, in the light
f these facts, assert that there was
t restriction of credits or a contrac
bn of currency? The Atlanta
Bnk, during this time, not only
•aned its capital, its surplus, and its
eserves, but, after all its own re
ources were exhausted, actually
orrowed from other federal reserve
anks $69,000,000 to take care of the
ituation in this district. Does this
now that we denied credits, or fail
a to do our duty to the country in
us crisis? Does it not rather show
Hat we were liberal—extremely lib
ral—in extending credits to our
lember banks?
State Banks’ Burden
Tne subject of agricultural cred
■ has been of paramount interest
> the public for the past twelve
lonths, and discussion has taken a
Ide range. I admit that there has
6en a lack of credits in many parts
' our agricultural sections, but a
sady explanation is to be found of
iis in the fact that most of the
anks which serve these communi
e,s are state institutions and non
'lembers of the federal reserve sys-
I im, although they have been re
eatedly urged during the past seven
ears to join the system, availing
aemselves of the privileges which
lembership affords, and placing
hemselves in a position to be of
etter service to their communities.
‘‘Forty-two per cent of the south’s
inking power rests in the state
inks; and, if these institutions had
sen fit to ally themselves with the
sderal reserve, we would, by the ex
ansion of federal reserve notes,
ased upon their reserves with us,
een In a stronger position to help
ae business and agricultural inter
its of this district.
‘‘ln the Sixth Federal Reserve dis
rict, during the period of which 1
peak, there were 782 state banks
ligible for membership in the sys
un—that is, having a capital of
25,000 or more—and, of this num
er, only 84 state banks saw fit to
ecome members of the system.
Fhile a few of these institutions
ame In, the vast majority stayed
ut; and therefore, when the inevi
fble crisis came, in 19209, they were
owerless to help the situation to a
reater degree than they did be
ause they were not members of our
reat financial system—a system
reated by congress for the purpose
f dispensing its accommodations to
tate banks as well as national
anks, and for the benefit of all the
£opl e in this great land of ours.”

SPECIALISTS TELLS HOW EYES
ARE CURED WITHOUT GLASSES
Declares Glasses Not Only
Do Not Cure Eye Trouble,
but on Other Hand Make
It Worse
BY DR. WILLIAM H. BATES
(Eye Specialist, Lecturer and Author
of “Perfect Sight Without -
Glasses”)
NEW YORK—If you wear glasses,
discard them.
You can be cured of near-sighted
ness, far-sightedness and astigma
tism if you learn to rest your eyes.
It is not quite as easy as it sounds.
Yet school children have done it
as well as adults. Among my assist
ants at a hospital clinic are 16 girls
between 10 and 14 years old. They
used to wear glasses. But they help
led cure themselves and are now
curing others.
All eye trouble is caused by strain.
If the rormal eye strains to read at
a near point, it becomes far-sighted.
If the eye strains to read at a dis
tance, It becomes near-sighted —al-
ways.
But the condition is only tempora
ry. Remove the strain and the eyes
become normal.
The wearing of glasses cannot re
move the strain. If it did, the eye
would become cured and glasses
would no longer be necessary. As a
matter of fact* once a person starts
wearing glasses, the strength of the
lenses may have to be increased,
steadily.
Yet when people break their
glasses and go without them for a
week or two, they frequently ob
serve that their sight has improved.
The human eye resents glasses.
Every o'cculist knows that patients
have to “get used” to them—some 1
times they never succeed in doing so.
Glasses have been prescribed on
the old theory that the eye chapges
its focus for vision at different dis
tances by altering the curvature of
the lenses of the eye. When the cil
iary muscles, supposed to control the
lens, get into a continuous state of
contraction or expansion, the eye be
comes permanently out of focus and
correction is necessary.
This correction is supposed to
come with, the wearing of the glasses.
But cure? Never.
The problem puzzled me. I stud
died the eyes of the lower animals
and particularly fish.
I soon discovered that the errors
in refraction are due not to a per
manent deformation of the eyeball,
but to a functional and therefore
curable derangement in the action
of the extrinsic muscles —brought
on by strain.
Remove the strain and the eye be
comes normal.
Primarily the strain to see is the
strain of the mind. To secure relax
ation requires considerable time and
much ingenuity. The same method
cannot be used with everyone. But
the best way to bring about this
rest is:
First —Close the eyes.
■■ Second —Cover with the palms of
the hands, shutting off all light.
Third —Think of perfect mental

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., May 11.
The black wooden ship Blakeley,
treasure hunter, today was well on

NEW OFFER MADE
FOR MUSCLE SHOALS
WASHINGTON, May 11.—(By the
Associated Press). —A new proposal
for the lease and operation of the
government’s nitrate and power
projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala., sub
mitted by L. Stern, consulting en
gineer and manufacturer of Balti
more, Md., was made public today
by Chairman Norris, of the senate
agricultural committee, which is in
vestigating the various offers al
ready filed.
Mr. Stern offered to take over the
properties for operation for “A term
of 25 or 50 years or such other time
as may be agreeable,” to complete
the plants at government cost, and
to repay all expenditures already
made at Muscle Shoals at the rate
of two per cent annually. Power
developed at the shoals would be
used to “manufacture fertilizers to
such extent as may be feasible,”
and other products.
A letter to the committee trans
mitting the proposal, said Mr. Stern
had communicated with the secre
tary of war regarding the Muscle
Shoals project and that Mr. Weeks
had advised sending the proposal
direct to the senate committee, “as
the preliminary negotiations have
passed out of the hands of the war
department.”
The proposal submitted by Mr.
Stern follows:
“We herewith propose to lease
from the government the Muscle
Shoals power project for a term of
25 or 50 years or such other time
as may be agreeable on the follow
ing conditions:
“1. The plants to be completed
under our supervision at govern
me cost; four per cent interest an
nually to be allowed the government
on amount necessary for comple
tion.
“2. A valuation to be placed on
the work already done based on
what would have been the average
cost during the period from 1904 to
1914, and this sum to be repaid the
government at the rate of two per
cent per annum besides $55,000 an
nually for maintenance of naviga
ble locks.
“3. The power obtained to be used
in the manufacture of fertilizers to
such an extent as may be feasible
and in the manufacture of electro
metallurgical products; 110,000 tons
ferlitizers to be sold at the cost
of production; in case of war the
plants to be immediately converted
for manufacturing war materials
which shall be sold to the govern
ment at the prevailing prices; any
surplus power to be sold direct to
users or to power distributing com
panies.
“4. In addition to the above named
payments, sixty per cent of all net
profits derived from the operation
of the plants to be paid to the gov
ernment, and 40 per cent to us.”
Benjamin C. Marsh, managing di
rector of the Farmers’ National
council, declared that the offer sub
mitted by Henry Ford, “does not, as
he himself says, give any assurance
whatever of cheaper fertilizers.
“It is doubtful,” the witness con
tinued, “whether the farmers will
save over $10,000,000 to $15,000,000
a year through this proposal. The
price therefore is altogether too
great, for while Mr. Ford is an hon
est and good business man, this pro
posal opens the door for the financial
Interests of the nation to practically
grab all the natural resources on a
100-year lease, which would cost the
farmers at least twenty, and pos
sibly fifty, times as much as any
probable advantage they would get
out of cheap fertilizers.
“The financial interests could well
afford to pay a farm organization
$1,000,000 a year for defeating, by
precedent, the only intelligent con
servation policy, which is govern
ment ownership and develop of na
tional resources or short-time leases
not to exceed twenty to a maximum,
of fifty years, and that under abso
lute control.
“It is not surprising that the
American Farm Bureau federation,
which indorsed the Cummins-Esch
law, which enable the railroads to
steal $750,000,000 a year from the
farmers, which opposed the farm
products export corporation, and
which has just indorsed the ship
subsidy steal, should be working
overtime for establishing the prin
ciple of a 100-year lease without gov
ernment control for natural re
sources.”
across toward the Virginia capes and
the tossing sea lying beyond.
Plans Are Perfected
“We will send our men down the
240 feet to where the Lucy is sup
posed to be lying,” he continued,
“there to dynamite a passage
through the decks to the purser’s
strong room. We will drop over
giant hooks to drag away the
wreckage. Then we hope the
mammoth steel octopus tentacles of
our especially constructed machine
will fasten themselves about the
treasure and rise higher, higher,
higher until they finally drop upon
the deck of our ship. They tell us
that our divers cannot succeed. But
we have tested our men and our
suits. One may remain 1,000 feet
below the sea level in them and not
be hurt. Leavitt, who will have
charge of the diving operations,
himself worked on the Pewabic be
low the Lusitania mark in Lake Hu
ron and recovered a part of the car
go.
“I tell you we will succeed and by
Christmas we all will be rich.”
One officer, McKay, the third
mate, is after the adventure as much
as the gold.
“I have been gold digging be
fore," he said, “I was with the
Inter-Ocean people when in 1916
they tried to salvage the Ward
Liner Meridia outside the Virginia
capes. We failed but we ought to
have succeeded.”
The Blakeley will not stop with
the Lusitania. She hopes to salvage
the valuables of the Arabic, the
Geelong, the Oceanic and others.
Finally Captain Rickards insisted
as his last word that “even the
Spanish Galleons sunk years ago
may give up to us.”

“INVISIBLE AUDIENCES”
ARE BECOMING VISIBLE
Many Notables Visit WSB
Journal’s Radio Experts
Untangle Kink in Ether and
Get Better Results
The Journal’s, meaning WSB’s,
“invisible” audiences are getting less
invisible every day. Likewise, every
night.
It’s an astonishing thing.
And that declaration doesn’t ap
ply to th letters coming in right
along from Snake Creek, 111., or the
Panama canal or Buford,. Ga., or
some other place, proudly announc
ing that some amateur had “got”
one or several or a lot of The
Journal’s radio-phone concerts.
It doesn’t refer to visitors like J.
W. Thomas, who dropped in at Sta
tion WSB Wednesday and told how
two sets he had built, one at Shelby,
Miss., the other at the tiny hamlet
of Merigo, Miss., hear The Journal’s
daily wireless entertainment as plain
ly as they hear Pittsburg and De
troit.
Neither does it involve stanch
WSB supporters like Charles A.
Sheldon, Jr., Wesley Hirschberg and
about a dozen others who look in
at the fifth floor of The Journal
building or call up once or more
a day to tell how WSB is working,
as recorded by their receiving sets.
Indicate Wide-Awakeness
All these testimonials are power
fully indicative of the American
public’s amazing and expanding
wide-awakeness to the century’s
most remarkable inventive phenom
enon. But, somehow, they lack the
directness and impressiveness of a
random, impromptu episode staged
at Station WSB Wednesday night.
It happened a good while after
the Garber-Davis sextet of jazz
magicians had extended their fame
over numerous degrees of latitude
and longitude via wireless. The
Federal Reserve club members, the
Columbia graphophone officials, Jan
Garber’s boys and all the rest at
the concert, had gone home. Some
of them probably were in bed.
George A. Iler, The Journal’s ra
dio engineer, who can sit down and
rig up a serviceable receiving set
in thirty minutes for forty cents,
and “Ty” Tyson, The Journal’s sea
going radio operator, were tinkering
with various vital and mysterious
items of The Journal outfit’s
anatomy.
Prompt Response
They were twisting this knob and
switching that lever and plugging in
here and unplugging there, all the
while talking back and forth in radio
jargon as densely obscure as the
most baffling cipher code that ever
perplexed Edgar Allan Poe.
Simultaneously, about the only
other straggler left in The Journal
building at that hour, past 10 o’clock,
was running a Columbia grafonola
in the radio concert room. The
music was being projected through
space.
Presently, Engineer Iler said some
thing to Operator Tyson. Forthwith.
Operator Tyson clicked a switch or
two, picked up a mouthpiece and be
gan to intone the familiar saluta
tion that warns radio disciples that
WSB has something to say.
“This is W-S-B the ra-di-o broad
casting sta-tion of The At-lan-ta
Jour-nal,” said Tyson, in measured
syllables. “We have been putting on
a little informal test. We are trying
to improve our service. If any of
our invisible friends are listening we
would like to hear from you.”
Believe it or not, before Tison
could disentangle himself from his
headgear and lay down the mouth
piece, there came the subdued tinkle
of the telephone not three feet away.
It was somebody in Inman Park.
He had heard the request and want
ed to say that WSB was working
better than he had ever heard it.
In a few moments the radio friend
said goodnight.
Within ten seconds the telephone
rang again. It was somebody in
West End. He, also, thought WSB
had accomplished something impor
tant. The quality was better and
the tone louder, and so on.
Service Improved
The second friend had scarcely
hung up when a woman on Myrtle
street called with substantially the
same report. And as the hands of
the clock swung around toward 11
o’clock, it was simply a matter of
taking the telephone receiver off the
hook, answering, putting the receiv
er back, taking it off again and an
swering, over and over.
While that astounding stream of
responses, concerning which more
will be said later, is the theme of
S' is story, it is gratifying to say
at these same responses almost
unanimously declared that WSB had
hit upon some notably gSfiGtive

Eleven o’clock arrived, and so did
the night watchman of The Journal
building.
“What’s coming off?” he asked.
“Every telephone in the building
is ringing its bell off. What’s up?”
All day The Journal is served by
a telephone switchboard. At 8
o’clock in the evening at the close
of the concert, the switchboard op

The night number of the radio de

watchman said meant that the tele

Ivy 6008 constantly busy, were plug
ging callers in on every night num

able but futile effort to reach some
body.
Before 11 o’clock, no less than
fifty calls, more than one a minute,
did manage to get through to the
radio department. Other telephones,
stationed everywhere from the press
room in the sub-basement to the city
editor’s office on the fourth floor,
persisted in trying to ring its bell off.
Un: vailingly, of course, because no
body was there to answer.

STATETOBEPAID
BACK TAXES ON DAM
A check in payment of the taxes
on the Gregg Shoals hydro-electric
dam on the Savannah river, abut
ting Elbert county, is ready to be
paid- to the state of Georgia after
nine years of litigation which went
to the United States supreme court,
it was announced Wednesday by
Comptroller-General Wright.
In 1913 the dam was owned by
the Carolina Power company. It
returned a part of the dam for taxes
in Georgia. Comptroller Wright
held that the eastern bank of the
river was the state line; therefore,
the whole dam was taxable in Geor
gia. He assessed the dam at $50,-
000. The company resorted to arbi
tration, and the arbitrators fixed the
value of “the portion in Georgia”
at $38,900, without undertaking to
decide the state line question.
Georgia and South Carolina went
to the supreme court with a test
case to decide the exact location of
the boundary line. Georgia contend
ed for the whole river to the Caro
lina bank. Carolina contended for
the eastern half of the stream, out
to the center of the channel. A
few months ago the supreme court
decided that the center of the stream
was the line, except where islands
occur in the river, and at these
places the center of the stream east
of the islands is the boundary. Rec
ords from London going back to the
chartering of Oglethorpe’s colony by
the king of England were brought
into the case.
Taking Georgia’s taxable portion
of the dam to the center of the
stream gives Georgia nine-tenths of
the dam, according to engineers who
surveyed the dam after the supreme
court decision. This is due to the
peculiar bend of the river where the
dam Is situated. Thus Georgia will
collect taxes on the basis of $35,010,
which is nine-tenths of the dam on
the arbitrated value.
This collection will be made for
the years 1913 and 1914, with in
terest, and the state of Georgia will
be relieved of the cost of the litiga
tion.
In 1915 the Gregg Shoals dam was
bought by the Georgia Railway &
Power company and it has since
paid taxes on the dam on a valua
tion of $50,000 without resisting the
assessment fixed by Comptroller
Wright.

also reported that further east, the
storm struck a tenant house on Dr
W. R. Terry’s farm, and demolished
this. A negro tenant is said to have,
lost his life, as a result. While the
path of the storm was rather exten
sive, the damage, other than to trees,
was not of serious consequences
anywhere except in the Pachitla
neighborhood.
