The subject of the First District
post-office was first brought up by
President \Nheeler who declared
that the new location was terrible.
The post-office was formerly locat-
ed in tho Norwalk club building in
Wall street. but was recently moved
to the Kantor building in Main
street.
Charles \Vimpfheimer declared
that he was passing the post-ofllce
the other day and saw Eben F.

Attorney Edward J. Quinlan se-
verely criticisel the people of Nor-
ualk for not having taken an active
interest in locating the post-office in
suitable quarters and in a suitable
location. He declared that the pub—
lic took a very slim intelest in the
entire procedure.
"You can put tilt.) entire matter
down to sectional fooling." declared
Attorney Quinlan. “\Ve never will
have a real post~offlce with the. see-
tinnnl feeling which exists. it is ad-
mitted that we need a new post-
office with possibly a sub-station. \Ve
won‘t get it until sectional feeling is

Ask Blink Ruling
Independent bankers of California
recently. at a hearing before the
Federal Reserve Board. asked it to
make a. definite ruling for the limi-
tation of branch Banks under the
Federal Reserve lysiem. Vigorous
opposition was expressed against the
tabiishment of branch banks and
the use of funds from them for
claims where the independent banks
are located and in a position to sup
ply the means of financing. Equally
as strong arguments in favor of the
present plan of development of
branch banks was made by repre-
sentatives of these banks. who also
were present. The latter maintain~
ed that unrestrained establishment
of branch banks afforded a better
and greater source of distribution of
funds for the farmers and others re-
quiring loans.
Independent bannirs protested
that the ability of branch banks to
move their funds from one section
to another section where such banks
exist constituted an unfair limitation
on tits functions of the independent
banks and shut 08 fields for their
financing.
Governor Crissinger. of the board.
did not indicsts'tbo attitude of the
board nor say whether a. definite
ruling on this subject will be made
as the result of~the hearing. The
question involved is one that has
been befoerbe board in one form
or another almost/since the Federal
Reserve system was created. But
it was never brought before the
board in the way of s. definite re-
quest 'for a ruling until today.
The ruling also. it is pointed out.
would be of interest as it affects
state banks belonging to the Fed-
eral Reserve .stem in the way of
denoting their power to establish
branches.

Scout Magazine
O
The day of the blood and thunder!
story isn't past But according to
James E. \Ves‘l. Chief Scout Execu-
tive of the Boy Scouts of America.
the day of the secret reading place
is downed. "The normal average
bo,." sa\s Mr. \\'e.st "wants mys-
ter) and detective stolics and ‘thrii-
lers.’ liut it is to be doubted if the
normal boy wants to read stories
that luau: a bad taste in his mouth
and a. guilty feeling in his mind.
Certainly the experience of the Boy
Scout .\l0\etnent lxr substituting or~
gunizcd gun; acthlilcs under a
trusted leader as a substitute fort
street-corner gang life. justifies the
belief that boys prefer their fun and
adventure in a wholesome form."
Mr. “'est is in position to test out
his convictions along this line. for
31“".000 has lzeen placed at his dis-
posal to make ”035' Life, the Boy
Scouts’ magazine. the kind of maga-
zine he thinks will satisfy every nor-
mal boy. So he is going to it.
Among the top-notch features,
will lie Zane Grey and Douglas
Fairbanks. These are names that'
always make boys prick up their
ears. Grey's stones are being shown
on the screen. lie uses a solid steel
pen and writes with human blood.
His stories for boys will be genuine
dime-nmel stories but with all the
vicious qualities of the "dime n0\el"
left out. and with all of the man-
building qualities of Zane Grey's
stories left in.
All this is good news for boys-—
and for their parents and teachers.
\Vhat is being done. Mr. \Vest says.
"is in harmony with the Program of
Scouting. namely. to give the boy as
nearly as possible the kind of sto-
ries he likes to read. under such
conditions as to make his reading
wholesome as well an interesting. I
is upon this basis that we have bee
maintaining our reading program
from the beginning. and are pub-
lishing a monthly magazine ‘for
boys." Boys' Life has already estsb~
lished itself ahd has something over
100.000 regular readers now. So
the 810 000 will be used to build.
upon a. rm foundation of earned
popularity. in monthly library of,sto-
rim and articles that will be in re-
lation to every boy's reading wants.

U. 8. Steel Earnings.
Analysis of the recent nufiled ton-
nage statement of the United States
Steel .rporstion indicates that ship-
ments of steel during August were
maintained at approximately the rate
prevailing for some time past. On
that basis it is expected that net
earnings for the current quarter will
be as large as they were during the
recon quarter, when they reached
“7,858,181. or about $4.63 a share
on the common stock. ‘.t is recalled
that shipments during the second
quarter represented a large percent-
age of old business placed before
prices were advanced. The ship-
ments during the current quarter. on
the other hand. represent an in-
creasingly larger proportion of busi-
ness ordered on .the basis of higher
prices. As an outcome the aver'ngo
prom on current business will be lar-
lventure. romance and achievement.
