R ONE LARGE BANK New York Financiers Want Big Reserve Institution. BAKER ATTENDS HEARING Director of Numerous Corporations, Among the Last to Testify, Em- phatically Endorses the Views of a Majority of His Predecessors. New York, Jan. 8.—Despite the ap- parent opposition of Secretary Mc- Adoo of the treasury department and Becretary Garrison of the department of agriculture to the proposal of New York bankers for the establishment here of a regional reserve bank of overshadowing size, the witnesses who appeared at the hearing of the federal reserve organization commit- teo insisted almost unanimously that such a bank was necessary. From the long list of New York's leading financlers who have appeared before the committee one conspicu- ous name was missing. It was that of George F. Baker, perhaps the clos- est assoclate of the elder J. P. Mor- gan, and a director of more impor- tant corporations than any other man In the country. When Mr. Baker ap- peared he sided emphatically with the majority of his predecessors be- fore the committee. “The Eastern district,” sald he, “should be as large as it could be made to comply with the require- ments of making “elght districts.” “Don’t you think," asked Secretary McAdoo, “that it would be better to have elght strong banks than one strong bank and seven weak ones?” “I wouldn't call the others weak,” sald Mr. Baker, "but I wouldn't have the New York district extended to the detriment of the others.” Character Actor Dead. New York, Jan. 8.—Willlam T. Haw- trey, the English character actor and brother of Charles Hawtrey, the come- dlan, dled of Brights disease in a hos- pital here a few hours after he had collapsed in a street car. Mr, Haw- trey was fifty-seven years old. He was the son of Rev. John Hawtrey, late master of Eton school, England. Practical <Y > Fashion Hints . The yoke is a favored feature of both tallored and dressy blouses thiy season. This design (7823) may be made with or without the yoke. As fllustrated the yoke is used and the walst s made of u flowered cotton crepe. This is one of the most practical materlals for the business blouse as it lnunders well and requires no ironing. The softer sllks, crepe de Chine, Habutai or pon- gee are also good blouse materials for the same reason. In applylug the yoke I have found It slmpler to turn in the seam allow- ance, baste down and press flat before attaching to the waist. It is sure to bo even If this is done. It Is neater to use the French seam for soft mate- rials; for heavy or wool fabries the same may be bound with seam binding or narrow bias strips of the material. There is a tuck on each shoulder in front to allow sufficlent fullness to the walst, a full length sleeve with a deep cuff and a softly rolled collar. This de- slgn may be wade in slze 36 with 2 yards of 36 inch material. The pattern is cut In 5 sizes; 84 to 42, This Is a Perfect Pattern. Be sure to state right size, passing the tape over the fullest part of the bust for dimensions. It may be obtained by filling out the coupon and enclosing 15 cents in stamps or coin to the Pattern Depart- ment of this paper. City and State Pattern No. Ch8mberlain’s Cough Remedy.
