The two Cabinet members, acting as an organ- feation committee, will determine the (portant preliminary moves to the actual installation of the machinery that te to operate the Federal reserve ayatem. ‘Although the law provides that the @wo secretaries shall join with the Comptrovier of the Currency in the pre- liminary work of reorganisation, the fice of Comptroller ts vacant, and it Ras been decided that the two secre- taries, constituting a majority of the @ommittes, may go shead. Later the membere of the Federal re gerve board of seven will be named by President Wilson. The Secretary of the ‘Treasury and the new Comptroller will ‘be members of that body, and the other five will be chosen from private life. If | President Wilson finally has made his @election for those five places it is not known in Washington. BANKS ALL OVER COUNTRY ARE SENDING APPLICATIONS. ‘The first step to be taken by the sec- Tetaries will be the selection of cities where Federal reserve banks, the back- Done of the em, are to be located. The law provides for not less than eight and not more than twelve. The organ- imation committees is empowered to employ counsel and summon witnesses and papers, to go deeply in the location of the reserve reservoirs. Its decision is Rot subject to review except by the Federal Reserve Board. It is possible that before the quas- tion of cities is decided the organiza ton committee will visit cities .ux- ed and base ite report on informa- ined at first hand. Cities that can hardly be kept off a “tentative lst would include New York, Chicago, St. Louls, San Francisco and New Onleans, with Denver, Atlanta and Seattle or Portland, Or top, ePhiladelphia, Baltimor ington, Boston and several others are | asking for designation.* The organization committee ts em- Powered to prescrike regulations for ave been flowing into the Treasury fer several days. An unusual flood, arrived to-day and one of of the committee will be the promulgution of rules for their acceptance. tional banks have sixty days in ‘which to file applications, but under the law can remain in existence for ene year without joining the system. OUTLINE DISTRICTS FIRST, THEN CHOOSE CITIES. Gecretary McAdoo sald he expected to ally begin formal work on select- fag Federal Reserve cities to-morrow. “We expect to consider the problem fe the light of what will most benefit the entire country and local interests will no: be regarded, id he “We will probably outline the districts first ‘and then choose the cities in each dis- | trict where the Federal Reserve Bank wilt be located.” | Ms. McAdoo did not know, he sald, whether there would de eight or twelve Aietricts. That point he regarded as one of the most perplexing before the or- ganisation committee, He expressed @reat satisfaction with the way in Whioh the banks have responded to the coat ¢a little longer, how ugly would be the outline! Fur banding is the most popular way of finishing the neck and sleeves of the tallored jacket and is sometimes used on the skirt qlso. For the design I am showing dark green duvetyne, which is one of the modish suede finiched ma- terials, has the neck snugly banded with akunk fur, while the opening down the front is held with brown bone but- tons. The sleeves, in one with the body part, are also banded with fur, while & green velvet belt confines the blouse in Russian effect with a short ruffie- tunto lower part. The skirt, which ts Plain and straight, has a plaited tunic which slopes upward in front, accen- tuating the fashionable forward swing of the hips, I have not considered necessary the pattern for this, as it is straight all the way except In front, where it is rounded away and may be cut @ becoming length, This design, though youthful, its s!m- ple unpretentiousness, is gultable for the matron, and as age is not synony- mous with stoutness, there is many @ slim, middle-aged woman who would need the fulness given by the tunic and Russian coat. oats ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

Just a some- thing of the tragic missed in his acting at the end kept his impersonation from being memorable. Thomas Chalmers was an excellent Eecamilio, singing the ‘Toreador song more than usually well William Schuster and Frank Philiips, as the smugglers, Alfred Kaufman as Zuniga and Bertram Peacock as Mor- ales were thoroughly capable. The chorus and the ballet, the latter led by Stevenson was dead from apoplexy. FIVE MINUTE CURE. IF STOMACH IS BAD “Pape’s Diapepsin est, surest indigestion cure known.
