Houston and New Orleans are announced with Atlanta, and public hearings by the organiza tion committee are to be held in th jre cities some time in February to con- aider their claims that they should be made Federal reserve cities. Fourteen large cities have been named as places of meeting for the organization committee, it is known that many other cities have put for ward claims which will be consid ered, but fourteen will have public It* arings. They arc New York. Boston, Chi cago, St. Ivouis, Denver, Seattle. Port land. San Franelrco, Cos Angele. Houston. New Orleans. Cincinnati, A anta and Clevela: v . Atlanta * Date i ixed Later. Dates have been set for the first five cities named, the hearings ex tending from January 2 through Jan- tiar> 26. and the hearings in the oUi*»r citeis will he scheduled later. In all, the consideration will consume two months. When possible, the commit tee will hold its hearings in the Fed-, eral building of the city in which it is meeting Among the recommendations mainly to be considered are geographical con- \enience, the industrial and commer cial development and needs of the section, and the already established 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. After all the cities have been visit ed. 'Hid those not on the "calling list" have been heard from, the respective claims of each will be considered with time and care. Then the final award Will be made. 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 mas Day intervening. Secretary Mc- Adoo was well pleased with the re sponse from the country. PASTOR PRESENTED AN AUTO. MARIETTA.

"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.

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.

Her development of the past few years certainly Indicates she will become a power in the world when sue has found her rightful place. Points Out the Trouble. "The great trouble with the society woman of to-day is that she does not know what to do with herself; she is like a chicken with Us head cut off. always running around and flopping vigorously, but not getting anywhere or doing anything better her con dition. / "I regard the indications that wom an is learning that she has brains and that they might be of some use to her as the most hopeful sign of salvation for what we term modern society- those i»eople who have noth ing to do but amuse themselves and others. “Society women are only beginning to realize that with the abundance of leisure time at tbeir disposal they can be of some use in the world, and the logical development of this realization eventually will result in society be coming the greatest agency in the world for the advancement of right, duty and morality, for the Instincts I of u woman are undeniably good; and when she directs her mind and ability toward the accomplishment of anything, that thing must almost nec- | esarily he something worth while. Pink Teas to Pass Away. "Eventually the foolish receptions and pink teas will be superseded by meetings of women for the advance ment of a cause that is good, and an aid in the advancement of right and duty. "The coming of this condition of af fairs is wholly dependent upon the progress of woman: as woman pro gresses the world grows better, and when woman has awakened to a full realization of her powers and capa bilities and opportunities, she will naturally be the leader in the ad vancement of all things that are good "Whether woman eventually will he a leader in politics and business is something that can hardl> be fore told.

"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 ness and becoming a decent dance, 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 enthusiast ically. Why Tango Is Popular. "The people who make the amuse ment of themselves and others a vo 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.” Mrs. Harris is spending the holi days with her daughter.
