Fourteen large cities have been
named as places of meeting for the

that many other cities have put for

the consideration will consume two
months. When possible, the commit

Among the recommendations mainly
to be considered are geographical con-

custom and trend of business, as de
veloped by the present banking sys
tem.
The committee will spend from two
to four days at each place. The bank
ers and business men of the city will
be ready at the hearings to present
the reasons, and the committee will
make whatever inquiries it deems
needful.

claims of each will be considered with
time and care. Then the final award

Political considerations, civic pride
and sentiment will have no bearing
on the awards, the committee asserts.
Part of the announcement Is as fol
lows:
What Committee Says
"Political considerations will not be
permitted to influence the committee
in determining thes*e important ques
tions. While the committee appreci
ates local pride and sentiment which
are prompting many cities to urge
their claims, the committee neverthe
less must appeal to the patriotism of
th# country to assist it in arriving at
sound conclusions through eonsidera
tion of fundamental anti vital fac
tors
"Purely local sentiment and pride
must yield to the common good in
order that the system itself may ac
complish the purposes for which it
was designed, namely, to secure to
the business of the country the elastic
system of credits and the stability of
conditions so long Imperatively de
manded.”
Applications for membership in the
new system poured in with the regu
larity of clock ticks, and the desk at
Washington of George R. Cooksey,
Mr. McAdoo’s private secretary, was
piled a foot high with letters and tele
grams from banks The estimate was
that clo«o to 1,000 banks and trust
companies have applied for member
ship and there are few sections and
fewer large cities that have not at
least one representative in the long
list If the estimate is correct, nearly
one-seventh of the national banks
have asked to become members of the
•svstem. With the law on the statute
books only a few days, and Christ

Adoo was well pleased with the re
sponse from the country.

"The church can no longer be run
by women, children and faddists. U
must have the sympathetic co-operii-
tion of the business men or it will
gradually fail—it will go into bank
ruptcy.
"The Sunday school is an institu
tion not only for the children, but for
men, and men of ability.
"Systematic newspaper advertising
for a church is the best method for
increasing the scope of its inlluence."
In these words the Rev. Dr. Caleb
A. Ridley, pastor of the Central Bap
tist Church, epitomized his experi
ence of fifteen years as a minister.
He was discussing the selection of
five business* men to be in charge of
the Centra! Baptist Sunday school.
These were J. \V. Autrey, of the
Barclay & Brandon Co., nuperintend-
ent; J. O. Harrison, a traveling man;
H. D. Sorrells, an insurance jnan; E.
I j. Fowler, of the Index Publishing
Company, and F. L. Irwin, of the
J. M. High Co., heads of the boys'
and girls' departments, respectively.
"They are all business men." said
Dr. Ridley, "and I am glad of it. be
cause the work of the business men
in the church or Sunday school is
the work that produces results. More
men of this caliber should realize
that they have a vital part to play
in the uplift or downfall of the church.

AWFUL ITCHING
IN ONE NIGHT
New York. April 28, 1913.—"The skin
on my hand got red and rough. It
itched and I began to scratch it. It
itched so that sometimes I could not
sleep at night. I was suffering very
much. I used salve and
but they did not seem to help me. This
went on for six or seven months. Then
I tried Kesinol Ointment and Resinol
Soap. I used them one night. In the
norning, to my surprise, my hand was
all well and the trouble has never re
turned. This is the absolute truth.”—

"The coming of this condition of af

"In that article I predicted that the
turkey trot would develop until it had
the semblance of a dance. That pre
diction, I think, has conic true, for the
turkey trot is fast losing its savage- j

especially in the larger cities, where J
it is danced more modestly than in |
the small towns.”
Mrs. Harris was asked, in view of
the fact that it is generally conceded
that there is little of beauty or grace
In the freak dances of modern times,
why society has taken them bp so

Why Tango Is Popular.
"The people who make the amuse

cation." she replied, "have less real
diversion in tl\eir lives than any other
class of people. Therefore they seize
eagerly upon anything that is novel
and different.
"And that is the reason for the tur
key trot and the tango; they are o
novelty, and are different from the
okl dances; they give society some
thing else other than the waltz and
the schottische and the other dances
ol our fathers.”
