Austin, Texas, May 20.—Pour
amendments to the Federal Reserve
bank law and nine amendments to
the state banking laws for the per-
fecting of both state and federal
systems so that state banks would
seek membership in the Federal Re-
serve system were . advocated by
State Banking Commissioner J. L.
Chapman in an address before the
state bank section of the Texas
bankers convention here this after-
noon. He also discussed bank exam-
inations, co-operation of bankers,
co-operation of the Federal Reserve
bank, new charters, guaranty fund
and credits.
Mr. Chapman said that economic
conditions are 100 per cent better
than they were 12 months ago and
that the banks owed one-half what
they did one year ago.
In emphasizing examinations, he
said that all state hanks were being
thoroughly examined regurdless of
former standing or general reputa-
tion of the bank, on the basis that
the good bank could stand it and
the bad bank needed it.
Mr. Chapman urged all eligible
state banks to join the Federal Re-
serve system, and spoke in highest
term? of the officials of the Federal
Reserve bank and their branches in
Texas. However, he pointed out
four amendments to the Federal
Reserve bank law which, if enacted,
he said, would cause practically ev-
ery eligible state bank to seek ad-
mission into the ranks of the Fed-
eral Reserve system. The amend-
ments recommended by the banking

TO TELL AGE
OF WOMEN
Fort Worth, Texas, May 20.—
Fort Worth’s barometer for measur-
ing the age of women will be in op-
eration Saturday, George C. Clarke,
superintendent, announced Monday,
when he said that Forest park pool
will be opened officially today.
Rules for using the barometer as
stated by Mr. Clarke, are: t
1. If the lady sits on the brink
and dips h»r feet into the water,
then gradually goes in, she is grow-
ing old.
2. But if the lady plunges head
first, never .giving a thought as to
the temperature of the water, she
■till possesses the vim, vigor and vi-
tality of youth.
Tha only precaution to take in
this it, says Mr. Clarke, to keep the
fact from the lady that you are
■retching her.

“1. That congress so amend the
present law that excess of profits
by Federal Reserve banks may ac-
crue to the member banks in exact
proportion to the deposits for the
fiscal year ending November 1,
same to be limited to two per cent
upon such deposits.
“2, That banks not in reserve
cities be allowed by the Federal Re-
serve banks one-tenth of one per
cent for ail cash letter totals, with
a minimum fixed charge.
“3. That the comptroller of the
currency be required to send, upon
request, copies of examinations of
national banks to the commissioner
of banking, so the commissioner
may ascertain the solvency of a
bank before approving as reserve
agent.
“4. An amendment to the Fed-
eral Reserve act wnich will allow
member banks, both state and na-
tional, to deposit a statutory limit
of 20 per cent of their capital, sur-
plus and total deposits with non-
member banks whose condition is
acceptable, and whose capitd is
$50,000 or more, placing such banks
on a parity with national banks, as
to depositories.”
Mr. Chapman also advocated nine
new amendments to the state bank,
ins laws, as follows:
‘‘That no man, or set of men, be
allowed to purchase within 12
months, in excess of 25 per cent of
the capital of any state bank with-
out the written consent of the conv
missioner of banking; that all inter-
est-bearing deposits on which it
paid as much as two per cent per
annum not be included in average
daily deposit reports; that the law
now permitting the sale of bills re-
ceivable ‘without recourse’ but with
repurchasnble agreement, be repeal-
, ed; that the statutory borrowing
limit of any one person, firm or
corporation be reduced from 25 per
cent to 15 per cent; that officers of
banks be compelled to make the
minimum bonds of employees com-
mensurate with the risk taken and
that all bonding companies be re-
quired to have a uniform form pre-
pared by the attorney general’s of-
fice; that the law be so amended
that bankers each year may change
from the guaranty fund system to
the bond system, by giving three
months notice; that the law be
amended that the commissioner be
required to pass upon the soundness
of each and every bond made for
the protection of deposits; that
banks be required to make good
and sufficient bond for all time de-
posits that bear interest, excluding
savings deposits, where a separate
department is maintained, the same
limited to $2,600 to each depositor;
that one of two laws bet-enacted—
either make the commissioner the
sole authority in granting charters,
placing him wholly responsible for
it, or having two bankers added to
the banking board, both to have at
least five years experience in prac-
tical banking, with no salary save
actual expenses, and meetings to be
limited for such expense to two per
cent per month.”
Mr. Chapman said that only 14
charter* had been issued during the
past 12 months, the prevailing poli-
cy of the banking board now being
to issue bank charters only where
actual public necessity exist/

WAR VETS ARE GIVEN RULE
TO DETERMINE COMPEN-
SATION DUE
Washington, May 21.—A veteran
may determine the amount of his
bonus this way:
Figure up the number of days of
service. For each day of home ser-
vice above the first sixty days $1
will be allowed in adjusted service
credit, and for each day of overseas
service above sixty days $1.25 will
be given.
If this adjusted service credit
doejn’t amount to more than $50,
it will be paid in cash. Otherwise
an insurance policy will be given.
The approximate value of this pol-
icy may be determined by adding
25 per cent to the amount of credit
dhe and multiplying the total by
about two and a half.
Thus, if a veteran served 400
days at home, after the first sixty
days he would be entitled to a pol-
icy valued at *400 plus $100 ( 25
per cent of the amount) multiplied
by 2 1-2, or $1,260.

TRIBUTE TO D. E. ADAMS
D. E. Adams was born March 27,
1873 and died May 16. 1024, at j^r-
bala, Texas, at the age of 51 years,
two months and 20 days.
D. E. Adams waa born at Charla-
ton, Mo. He came to Bettie, Texas,
when a young man, in 1874. He was
united in marriage to Miss Ada
Goodwin of Bettie, and to this union
eleven children were born, five
girls and six boys. Three of the
children died when small.
It is not enough to say D. E.
Adams was a good man; he waa a
useful man to the community. You
would always find him on the right
side of every question. He was
chairman-of the board of stewards
and had been for some time. He
made a profession of religion be-
fore he came to Texas, and united
with the Methodist church, and was
true to all its. teachings.
He leaves a wife and eight chil-
dren weeping because of his going.
The oldest boy, Irwin, is married,
and Homer in school at Commerce,
and the other six children with their
mother.
As hi* pastor, he was very dear to
me. He seemed almost like a father
to me. I have known him nearly all
my life. He waa always glad when
our preaching services came. He sat
Just to my right during the service
and always had encouraging words
for his pastor, and not only his pas-
tor but auyone who was trying to
preach the gospel.
The home will miss him, the com-
munity will miss him, and last but
not least, the church will miss him.
Who will take his place?
Dear bereaved ones, we weep with
you; but in this sad hour we, our-
selves, are made to weep and sacri-
fice. ‘ O, for a touch of a vanished
hand and the voice that is stilled.
Death is no uncommon messenger,
and yet, he is one we have not be-
come accustomed or reconciled to.
But we rejoice even in the midst of
our tear*, that we believe in Him
who hae triumphed over death' and
the gTave and has brought life and
immortality to light through the
gospeL
In this faith we live and in this
faith we lay our deed away, and in
thie faith we, oureelves, expect to
die with a confident hope of a bliss-
full reunion with loved one* gone to
that glorious home beyond.
Hie paitor,
L. M. MANNING.
New York, May 21.—One of the
many problems New York’s police
force will face during the Demo-
cratic convention next month will be
to rid ,the city of character known
in police vernacular as “crashers”
and “mashers.” This task has been
assigned to Captain Mary Hamilton,
director of the feminine bluecoat*.
A crasher is n pe-son, male or fe-
male, who craves excitement, com-
pany and entertainment and, not
having the funds or the connections
necessary for a legitimate satisfac-
tion of the craving becomes ad-
dicted to polite “sponging. ’
The chronic crasher and masher,
according to Captain Hamilton, are
always seen at large public func-
tions, political demonstrations, ban-
quets .theatrical first-nights, big-
funerals, art exhibits and society
weddings. They dress well. Their
manners are irreproachable. They
are, to all appearances, the acme of
culture and refinement. In fact,
they sometimes outshine the com-
pany they keep in these respects.
Captain Hamilton knows dozens of
them.
Strangely enough, the crashers
sre mostly women. But that other
bane of the metropolis, the masher,
is usually a male, as Captain Ham-
ilton testifies and as police court
records bear ample witness. “Some-
times we call them crashers,” she
explained. “We also know them,
however, as ‘chow-chasers” or ‘out-
siders' or ‘bean-pickers.’
“How do we spot them? Well,
perhaps a hostess will call upon us
to oust an uninvited guest, or the
guest at a hotel banquet finds her
seat usurped by s stranger, and calls
a house detective who in turn calls
my department. Sometimes we are
asked to 'escort them from theaters.
Once we see one of them we don’t
forget, and we find the same faces
turning up everywhere.”
It haa been Captain Hamilton’s
experience that big conventions
bring out the crashers in full force.
The entertainment functions dre so
large, so few of the guests are ac-
quainted with each other, that the
way of the usurper is easy. He, or
she, takes in everything on the pro-
gram, dinners .theaters, auto tours,
boat excursions, sightseeing rides,
all free.
There will be all these during the
forthcoming convention. And every
crasher in New York will have a
full date-book.
But Captain Hamilton will be
ready for them for, as she says, “My
force has its rogues’ gallery well in
mind, and order* will be to eject,
either by persuasion or by force,
every crasher we spot at any of the
convention doings.”
IMPERIALISM IS
DENOUNCED BY
BRITISH GLOI
Birmingham, England, May 21
Imperialism and its social structi
find few advocates among the prert
ent—day leaders of Protestan'
churches in England who have bee:
meeting here for the Conference oi
Christian Politics, Economics am
Citizenship.
Several attacks ppdh imperial:
had been made when the Rev.
Hogarth rose to protest against
p tlalism being regarded as
sariiy selfish.
“Are we wrong?” Dr. Hogai
asked, “when in singing ‘Land
Hope and Glory’ our hearts re-eeh
to the line ‘God who made th<
made the mighty, make thee mightie:
atm?"
“Yes!" cried the delegates.
"Then we must scrap the moi
ments to our national heroes
Westminster Abbey,” retorted t!
speaker, to which the delegate!
loudly agreed.
“Was the campaign of Lord Kit-
chener in the Soudan wrong, am ,
were Christian rtatetracn like Lon
Salisbury wrong?" Mr. Hogarth con-
tinued.
The delegates gave the same
sponse and the speaker gave up
questioning.
By an overwhelming majority tt
conference passed a resolution ■.
ask the government to abolish cag
tal punishment. The motion was
troduced by C. R. Simpson, a
don Quaker.
