that Uneeda Biscuit are best adapted to the

SATURDAY EVENING,
BANKERS SCORE
ll RESERVE ACT
Donald McCormick and Other
Delegates Point to Flaws
in System
"One-man control" and the lack of
specific regulations were among the
features of the Federal reserve act at
tacked yesterday by a number of tiust
i company officials at the last meeting
iof the Pennsylvania Bankers' Asso
jciation's convention at the Bellevue
' Stratford.
I{. I* Austin, Federal reserve agent
■ in the Philadelphia district, defended
the act. He laid great stress on "five
I hundred million dead reserves which
the Federal reserve act has revivified",
i asserted that the bankers "are to be :
congratulated" on the passage of the
law, and said that the "only troubles)
you have are those resulting from our i
unusual prosperity."
The discussion which precipitated j
■ the attack was on "What essential
changes should be made in the Fed- j
cral reserve system to render member- j
ship in its attractive to banking in- '
I stitntions working under State char-,
I ter ?"
Criticise Reserve Act
John G. Reading, president of the I
Susquehanna Safe Deposit Company, i
of Williamsport, put a world of sai'- J
casm into his description and cnti- !
cisms of the limitations of the system,
and asserted that what is needed is ;
"not changes in the act and system, i
but in the whole field, the whole sit
uation.'' Only by placing all the fin.'tn- \
! ciai institutions of the country under i
Federal control, either by an amend- !
ment to the Constitution or by an act i
of Congress, he said, can thev attain !
j their greatest efficiency.
Donald McCormick, president of the j
I Dauphin Deposit Trust Company, of
Harrisburg: Albert A. Jackson, vice- j
president of the Uirard Trust Com
pany, Philadelphia, and B. M. Mariin,
treasurer of the Union Banking and \
Trust Company, of Du Bois, were in i
sympathy with this position, while j
Montgomery Evans, president of the j
Norristown Trust Company, of Nor- '
ristown, was "not able to tind the re, !
serve system at all compatible with ;
trust company business in Pennsyl- 1
vania.
Officers Elected
These officers were elected: J. W. B. 1
Bailsman, president, of the Farmers'
Trust Company, Lancaster, president: <
Lawrence E. Sands, president of the!
First-Second National Bank, Pitts- j
burgh, vice-president; Robert J. Mat- j
torn, cashier of the Union National j
Bank. Huntingdon, treasurer.
It was decided to let the council of I
administration determine the place of j
next year's convention.

Colonial to-day displayed remarkable
courage during the making of h scene
in which a platoon of Russian cavalry
charges over her as she lies prostrate
on the ground. She was. however, less
frightened than those w ho watched the
spectacle, this being- because of her
faith in the theory that horses do not
step on people unless by accident.
On the same program is a new two
reel Triangle-Kay Bes coined-- called "A
Hough Night." This is the first com

it is a sample of the others that are to

popular as the Keystone comedies.

committed Pauline
D'Arcy to the keeping of an elderly
man as her protector and legal guar
dian. The gili, alone in the world, vig
orously healthful, ambitious and eager
to make her name famous: the man
who was charged with her protection
made her a victim of his own desires.
This price paid, the girl t ntei ed col

hoped that forgetfulnes.s would come
with the lapse of time. During gradua- '
tion exercises her eyes met those of
a handsome young 111:111 and a pure love
was instantly created. Their associa

rule their destiny. Just what the girl

heroine paid for blindly trusting a man
against whom she had been warned. 1
There is al«o another moral to be de
rived from this great photodrama: Hap- i
piness that is founded upon a lie will
not endure. Rosetta Bruce, as Marion

heroine with truth and gives her an ;
