Declaring that the Federal Reserve system “is perhaps approaching its most difficult period,” the National Association of Credit Men at the May:- flower Hotel today went on record as favoring renewal of the system's charter. “We believe work looking to the definite renewal of the charter should not I delayed,” sald a resolution, which was unanimously adopted.."The lightest question in the next few s about the permanency of the deral Reserve Bank in our banking stem would work serious harm.” Quotation From Resolution. The resolution pointed out that the credit men had backed the system since its inception, and declared that varidus dis ions that will arise in renewing the charter “must be met frankly and directly, and especially must we insist,” the resolution con- tinues, “that care be taken .to throw around the rechartered banks, if pos- sible, still greater protection against political influences.” The oclation passed several other resolutions during the morning, in- cluding one declaring that the num- ber of Federal judges In some districts was . inadéquate, and recommending that Congress take action on the ques- tion of the number and compensa- tion of Federal judges. It was recommended that the as- soclation work for te legislation hich will _effectually prevent the assignment of accounts re- ble and give to creditors adequate protection against such transactlons.” Points to “Credit Waste.” Other resolutions condemned “com- promise settlement with creditors with- out adequate investigation,” and de- clared that the restraining effect of the association’s million-dollar fund “must be felt in a rapid reduction in the credit waste attributable to “crim- ina] practices. The committee on credit education and management, Jobn W. Allen of Dallas, Tex., chairman, declared “a generation of business men educated in the facts and law of business and economics can do more for the mate- rial welfare of the country than any other group.” Problems of adjusting the estates of debtors were discussed during the ad- justment bureau period, under direc- tion of Walter E. Tarlton of St. Louis. The convention this afternoon was to go to Arlington to lay a wreath on the grave of the Unknown Soldier. A short address by Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, commandant of the Marine Corps, will be made on this occasion. Fight Bankruptcy Abuses. Credit men are not dissatisfied with the bankruptcy law on the whole, W. yRandolph Montgomery, counsel for the association, said today in an ad- dress, but he warned that the associa- tion would “fight any encroachment upon the principle of creditors’ con- trol.” The chief causes of complaint against the administration of the law, he said, were that “discharge is too easy and crime is too difficult of ap- prehension.” “Make bankruptey profitable nd more dangerous,’ id, “and vou will eliminate 90 per cent of the present grounds of complaint.” The bankruptey I com L. Medler of New York Cit man, declared that the associa newed its faith in the law, but added that “the honest and efficient adminis- tration of the bankruptcy law Is more likely to be promoted by the fostering of co-operative action on the part of creditors through the instrumentalit of creditors’ committees and adjust- ment bureaus than by the substitution of official control which the assocla tion regards as undemocratic and out of ‘harmony with American govern- mental theory.” §S. H. Lauchheimer of Baltimore also discussed the bank- ruptey law. Optimistic on Farming. ‘The future of agriculture was paint- ed in optimistic colors by Dr. David Friday of this city, lecturer for the Robert Brookings Graduate School of Economics. “There is every pros- pect that the farmers' income this vear will be larger than last,” Dr. y said. “It was the revival of his purchasing power which gave in- dustry its upturn in the Fall of 1924, The continuance of agricultural pros- perity will gerve to maintain the sit- uation this Autumn. The immediate outlook for agriculture, is therefore favorable. Dr. Friday characterized tthe McNary-Haugen bill as “an elab- orate structure of economic theoriz ing reduced to a state of intellectual rubbish.” Discussing the question “Laying the Corner Stone of Credit,” Dr. Willlam Mather Lewis, president of George Washington University, said it was not the role of education in com- duplicate _the process of business experience. It is its mission to give the student a broad foundation of general economic knowl- edge, to teach him to think consecu- tively and constructively, and above all to work in season and out of sea- on for the development of his char- acter, his capacity and his capital.” Diplomats at Dinner. Increasingly bright prospects for international commerce were brought before the world trade dinner last night attended by diplomats from several countries, Alfred Pearce Den- nis, of the United States Tariff Com- mission said *“we have become the greatest business people of the world chiefly because of our passion for doing things quicker and’better than they have been done before.” The prime essential of forelgn tradé he declared to be “to discover what the customer wants. Study the foreign customer,” he explained, “and give him what he really wants, not what you think he wants.” John Moody, president of Moody’'s Investment Service Service, New York City, declared that “America is grow- ing up,” haidthere was ne “boom’ on, but that “good times” were at hand. Foreign trade wes largely responsible, he said. “In a word, the four princi- pal meanings of the expansion:of our export trade,” he decdared are: “first, the return of our foreign commerce to the basis of natural resources; second, the rehabilitation of Europe; third, dawn of a new era for the backward nations of South America, Africa and Asia, and finally the reenthronement of competition and culture throughout the world.” Steady Prosperity Forecast. The toastmaster was C.. C. Mar- tin of New ¥ork, who deprecated the American tendency to look for “booms” and predicted steady pros- perity of industry and business through the growth of foreign trade and normal conditions of competition. Eugene S. Elkus, president of the association, welcomed the guests and expressed appreciation to the Wash- ington Association of Credit Men and ¥ all who has co-operated - with them for the reception accorded the “con- véntion in the National Capital. The speakers’ table guest list was: E. W. Camp, director of customs, Treasury Department; Chauncey D. Snow, United States Chamber of Com- merce; Prentis N. Gray, president, J.

MAKING YOUR OLD AGE BEAUTIFUL. i 0Old age when we think of it fills us with a feeling of sadness. The young can hardly imagine that it can be tol- erable in any sort of way at all. It seems the end of all things, a living death, and all of us instinctively hold it off as long as possible. Sometimes we even imagine that we will be‘able to escape it; that we will be stronger than nature; that we will not have the weakness of the rest of humanity; that some wonderful extra vitality in us will hold out against-it, over- come it. I am not old vet, but I am, all the same, on the further slope of the hill. I am walking downward—and one goes quicker down hill than up. So I am facing the inevitable like any other, and it depends a great deal upon myself if I make ‘getting old” tolerable or not. What we do not realize when we are quite young is that we will not have the desire of the same things all the days of our life. The pleasures of childhood are not the pleasures of vouth. The pleasures of youth are not the pleasures of the mature. , Nor are those of old age the same as those of middle life. Nature arranges that for us and man’s natural devel- opment leads him onward in the wisest way it he will only let himself be led without resisting too violently. Give Up After Forty. I do not mean by this that we should let ourselves be overcome by old age without making any effort to prolong youth. In former days wom- en, especially after 40, used to “give up,” consider themselves old, making no effort to retain any sort of good looks or even figure. They simply re- signed and considered their day done. This idea is “burst,” thank God. There {8 many a day left for women after 40, perhaps even some of the best, and 1 have certainly seen wom- en at 40 look even better than they did at 20. Anyhow, more interesting and sometimes even more attractive, because of just that something which n;c passing years had given them en plus. tional Association of Credit Men; Ed- gar L. G.

He stated that he personally knows of no reason for making any changes, and that he has reason to krow that the President has no such intention. he Utah Senator said he came to Washington from his home at this time for the purpose of expediting some reclamation work in the West. Last_night he was a dinner guest at the White House. Other guests were Senator Borah of Idaho, James R. Sheffield, United States Ambassador to Mexico, and Attorney General Sar- gent, the last two being house guests at the White House. Frank W. Mondell of the War Finance Corporation called on the President today to take up with him a_speech he is to make in_several Western cities upon _the subject of Federal tax reform. His first speech will be next week before the Hamilton Club of Chicago. The other speeches will be In Sioux City, Des Moines, Min- neapolis and Brookings, S. Dak. According to an officlal White House source, the President will leave Washington on the night of June 23 for Swamp#ott, Mass., where he is to spend his vacation. The journey will be made in a special train, arriv- ing at Boston the following morning. The trip from Boston to Swamp- scott, a distance of less than 20 miles, will be made by motor.

I have made myself my own philosophy, which life has taught me along the It is quite interesting, but of course the very young need not listen. To them I will seem to be saying all sorts of un- necessary things, because another’s experience means nothing to those who do not yet need it—to those whose road lies all before them, broad and seemingly smooth. They will all learn in their day that no road is smooth. But the young must set out on life’s journey with a song on their lips and hope in their heart. Thus Spake Zarathustra. Nietzsche says, and it is one of his sayings which I love best: “This life which leads towards old age leads at the same time towards wisdom, that gentle light which dazzles not the eves. Both wisdom and old age come on the same slope of life—for thus has Nature willed it. Old age and \wisdom—yes, that is just it. To the voung it seems but meager consolation, but to the old it just means everything. It means that day by day they have learned some thing, absorbed some truth, dom that leads them gently the grave—gentl without one thing after another in a light not too dazzling for eyes that have seen too much. “Too much.” Yes, there is a “too much”; old age knows that.

His future home will be with one of the White House attaches. Few tears are being shed by those about the White House over losing Blackie. Besides not being playful or affectionate, this cat is a night prowler. His prowling around was not for social purposes, but to satisfy his thirst for blood. He was a killer. As a result of this trait there are few squirrels and rabbits left in the White House grounds. Some say they no- tice, also, a reduction in the number of birds in the grounds, which they blame on Blackie. It is no secret that Blackie never was a special favorite with President Coolidge. He became a pet at the ‘White House about the same time as did Tige, the roaming cat, who finally roamed away for good and has not been heard from for nearly a year. Tige was the President’s real pet. ‘The reports of ‘Blackie's killings in the rear grounds became so frequent that the President and Mrs. Coolidge decided to get rid of him. This wasn't 8o easy as it sounds. Appar- cntly no one wanted him. They knew his record. Finally one of the Secret Service men was persuaded to ac- cept him. —_— COLORED MASONS AT 0DDS Mingo Sanders, Dorsey F. Seville, Joseph E. H.

One pleasure is replaced by another, but o gradually that it comes without a shock to the one who is living it, and happy they who de not cling on des- perately to what is no more of their age. Those who do suffer deeply, and it is a suffering which is ugly to watch and sad. It may inspire pity, but more generally it inspires shocked dis- gust. Respect for 0ld Age. We want to look up to old age, to feel its superlority, its wisdom that has come with the passing years. We nt to feel its kind, indulgent, and, fbecause all-knowing, we want to know that it is also all-forgiving. The game old oak, too anclent to grow green with the Spring, can fill us with a feeling of sadness. But more especially is It awe that we feel and a desire to bare our heads, recog- nizing in it an austere bigness that can never belons to youth. Human old age can and should in- spire us with the same feeling. A splendid old man with howed head, sftting out in the sunshine, or the dear old, old mother with dim eyes and a smile which is almost divine on her lips—and a feeling of veneration comes over us, something of awe, of pity, too, but nothing in it shocks us.

Tax Appeals Board De- cides Changes in Trades Centers Affect Values. The value of location to business or industry was recognized as an eco- romic factor by the United States Board of Tax Appeals in an impor- tant decision handed down yesterday in a case from Chicago. The board ruled that the obso- lescence of bulldings due to the swift changfng of business centers consti- tutes a legal deduction from the gross income of the property owners for taxation purposes. Precedent Established. In deciding the case the board mot only established what is believed to be a precedent, but disposed of 10 ap- peals simultaneously, reversed the findings of the Internal Reve-ue Bu- reau and ordered a recalculation of the taxes involved on the basis of its ruling. It fixed the allowance for wear, tear and exhaustion and obseles- tence in this instancé at S*per cent a year, calculating the reasonable life of the buildings involved at a little more than 33 years. Another phase of the decision which aroused interest here,was the sugges- tlon contained in the board’s discus- sion of the case that motor traffic in many of the larger cities must be considered an important factor in welghing property values. Mention was made in the case of the traffic on State street in Chicago, and it was asserted that the congestion had caused shoppers to seek stores in lo- calities where use of automobiles was less difficult. Two Structures Involved The two structures involved in the |~ case decided were the North American and the Mercantile Buildings, and the parties to the combined appeal were Elsie S. Eckstein, Louls M. Stumer, Louis M. Stumer, 2nd; dys F Byfleld, Benjamin J. Rosenthal, Ha nah S. Rosenthal, Aline Blanche Stumer, Blanche G. Stumer, Relnhardt and Louls Eckstein. “At the time the bulldings were erected,” the board’s statement said, “State street was the principal retail department store and high-grade shopping district’ of Chicago. Com- merclal and automobile traffic on State street has so increased as to cause shoppers to find stores in less con- gested localitles. As a result, the high-grade shops formerly located on State street have gradually removed C;wh'ng Breeczes | F"Om ROCL Creek pa"k ] | Are Ever Present 2 # 5 Select Your Home Site ||| NOW!

By the Associated Pres ROME, June 12.—The newspaper Zereno today said it is reported in well informed Vatican circles that the Pope intends to convoke a ecumenical council in Rome during the latter part of the present holy year. All bishops of the Catholic world would attend such a council. The last ecumenical council was held in 1869, under the pontificate of Pius IX. The rumor printed by Zereno that another council may be called this year, probably to continue throughout 1926 and perhaps into 1927, caused great interest here. All Catholic bishops throughout the world attending such a conference would be accompanied by secretaries and theologicians equipped to discuss in Latin important church matters. to Michigan avenue and adjacent territory “The North American Building has felt the change inasmuch as space which was formerly rented to tenants for retall stores, for which it was con- structed, has been changed over for ocupancy of loft tenants, from which rental is received at only 50 to 75 per cent of that paid by retall tenants.” Go BIr At 36th and A Wealthy AND GO 713 14th St. N.W.

S, June 12.—Five hundred troops were on their way today for duty in the Cape Breton coal flelds as the result of armed clashes between striking coal miners and British Empire Steel Corporation police at New Waterford. These clashes yesterday resulted in the death of a miner, the serious wound- ing of another and injuries to two score. Fresh disorders were reported early today in New Aberdeen, a suburb of Glace Bay. It was also reported that the com- pany’'s’ food shops at mines 12 and 14 had been cleaned out by a mob of miners, and, although nfirma- tion was lacking, that the wash house at No. 14 and the offices at numbers 15 and 12 were ablaze with no water avafilable. In clashes yesterday for possession of the New Waterford powerhouse, several rounds of ammunition were fired. After the fighting, police took refuge in the jail at New Waterford and reports of plans of miners to raid it were heard. The power plant was captured from miner pickets by a surprise attack at dawn and recaptured by the miners at noon. Willlam Davis, a miner and father of nine children, was killed, and Gilbert Watson, serlously wound- ed. The power plant is the strategic point of the collNry system. A large detail of provincial police departed for Sydney on a regular train several hours before the t trains left Halifax. = Twelve thousand miners have beed |on strike for five months. The strike started when several collleries were closed and store credits were suspend- ed for several thousand miners. In negotiations for a settlement the corporation has insisted on a 10 per cent wage reduction. ‘'roops have been called to the Nova Scotia coal field three times in the last three years.
