Strauss’ Death Chamber
The Austrians are inclined to muke
fun of everything, even their famous
musicians. Of Richard Strauss I
heard many amusing stories. Thus
you may, if you are fortunate, be
shown the handsome apartments of
the greatest liviug Austrian composer,
and finally be taken into his bedroom:
"Here,” the lady guide will say with
bated breath, "is the room in which
the great Richard Strauss will die.”
It is probably a uuique experience to
stand reverently, by anticipation, in
the future death chamber of a living

Clerks Taught to Shoot
Bank clerks at Portland, Ore., are

Science Creates Lightning
Bolts to Protect Aircraft
rJai.rvrrrKiiM^iHiM f—iniihibdn iwmww—mtu nun... >
Lightning is manufactured at this "Lightning Farm” at Barberton, Ohio, for the purpose of testing the
immunity of various types of aircraft Above is depicted a bolt of manufactured lightning striking an exact
model of a transport plane, to determine the path that a real bolt would make through the ship. Below is the
wreck of a transcontinental plane supposedly struck by lightning during a recent storm.
Inttrnfttionfc) NewtrMl
nOMETIMES lightning does
strike twice in the same place.
One of these places is at the
“Lightning Farm,” located at Bar
berton, Ohio, where lightning is
manufactured for several experi
mental purposes.
The various types of aircraft in
use to-day are putting up a great
battle against the elements, but
lightning has proved the nemesis of
more than one plane. Out in
western New Mexico a few weeks
ago a transcontinental passenger
plane offered through its battered
wreckage and dead passengers, i
frightful but eloquent testimony to
its lack of immunity against a
lightning storm. Winds, fogs,
driving rain storms, it could con
quer, but its great bulk, and safety
appliances were helpless, against a
bolt of lightning. And just recently
the racing plane of Major John
Wood, which was on a non-stop
flight between Los Angeles and
Cleveland, is reported to have be«o
totally destroyed by lightning.
At the lightning farm, both model
planes and full sized ships are used
International Newsreel
for the purpose of determining by
manufactured bolts the exact path
traced by a bolt from nature’s lab
oratory when it strikes a plane, and
its course is minutely charted and
compared with the results of sim
ilar tests. In this way, it is hoped
that science will be able to discover
a method whereby aircraft will be
immunized against danger from
lightning bolts. The full results of
these useful and fascinating experi
ments have not yet been divulged
but it is known that excellent prog
ress is being made.
Kcserve System Profits.
From The Economist.
In times such as this it is easy to
suggest some drastic remedy that is
sure to cure a particular evil, but in
curing one evil the remedy may
create two or three new ones. Such
a suggestion is made by Senator
Carter Glass for increasing the
membership and strengthening the
structure of the federal reserve
system.
Senator Glass would make mem
bership in the system attractive to
banks by making it profitable. He
would amend the federal reserve
act to provide that 25 per cent of
the profits of the federal reserve
banks go to the government as a
franchise tax; that 25 per cent to
restrained by the banks until sur
plus is equal to subscribed capital;
DOCUMENTS CORRECT
ERROR CONCERNING
NATIONAL ANTHEM
Washington—The historical error,
.equently repeated, that Francis
'cott Key wrote the national an
hem on board a British man-of
var in Baltimore harbor in the War
f 1812. has been denied by Francis
Tey-Smith, great-grandson of the
omposer, a resident of Washington.
In a speech at Baltimore, Mr.
Key-Smith produced documentary
.-vidence to prove the "Star Scan
and that the balance be paid to
member banks as a dividend.
Undoubtedly, this would make the
system immediately attractiv-e to
many banks that are not now mem
bers. Small banks always have pro
tested because they were required
to maintain reserves with the feder
al reserve banks and earned no re
turn on those reserves. A dividend
that would offset this loss would
immediately increase federal re
serve membership.
But there is another aspect of the
problem! Even though the federal
reserve board appointed bv the
president is omnipotent in all fed
eral reserve matters, the actual
management of a federal reserve
bank is in the hands of its member
banks. Such a scheme as Senator
Glass proposes would Inspire man
gled Banner” was written on board
an American ship. He had letters
of his great-grandfather and docu
ments from the state department
to prove his contention.
Tbe great-grandson related how
Key several hours oeA>.v» dawn on .
the morning of Septemt>*r i4. stood
at the rail of the American s'.oop
in the harbor and watched the
American shore. The British fire had
ceased. On the back of an envelope.
Key made the first draft of the
inspiring linos to the national an
them. The words subsequently were
revised and given to the public. Mr.
Key-Smith said the name of the ,
agert of the banks always to be
reaching for profits; and it would
f‘(m that that should be the last
thing to be considered by a central
bank.
One of the most valid criticisms
of the federal reserve system today
is that it has vastly exceeded the
functions originally Intended for It
and is directly competitive in the
commercial banking field. When the
federal reserve board, of an in
dividual federal reserve bank, makes
a decision as to whether securities
ought to be bought or sold, as to
whether the discount rate should be
raised or lowered, or as to its at
titude toward business, the stock
market, or the world of finance,
that decision should be based solely
upon *nose factors of central bank
ing which those which have to do
with Institutional profit.

it’s because Atwater Kent Radio
