PAGE THREE OPEN WITH LIGHT BUSINESS NOTED Amount of Deposits Proves Surprise No Gold, Gold Certificates Or Currency Being Paid Out Under Ban SAN BANCISCO, March 13. (AP) All San Franclaco'i banks reopened todaV tor normal business. They re ceived licenses from the federal re anrva bank here ahortlT before 0 a. m., and some opened Immediately, others waiting for the regular opening nour, 10 a. m. Business was quiet. One vlce-prest? dent said: "We expected the lobby to be full of people, but to our surprise there are only a few here now." This was shortly before 10 o'clock. Another said: t "You would be amazed to see the amount of deposits we are taking In especially of gold." No Gold Goes Out. There are five national banks here, Jnd they all opened. There are 10 banka licensed under state banking laws, and they were operating on a regular basis. Some state banks, however, had little contact directly with the public, being agencies of foreign Institutions. The only restrictions were that no gold, gold certificates or "currency" could be paid out. The "currency" provision was added by the secretary of the treasury to the previous re strictions against paying gold and gold certificates. This was taken as assurance that the new federal reserve certlflcatea had arrived and had been made available to banks, although the fede ral reserve bank had "no comment" to make on that point. San Francisco will be the only Pa cific coast city with full banking fa cilities today, It being the location of the 12th district reserve bank, the only one on the coast. Many Resume Tuesday. Operations were scheduled for re sumption tomorrow In BO cities In the seven far western states. There are 50 clearing house associations In the twelfth federal reserve district, and the executive order prescribed that banks in cities having clearing house associations might resume ope rations If licensed by national or state authorities. On the following day, Wednesday, all hanks which have been given licenses will be In regular operation, subject only to the restrictions as to the type of money they may pay out.

Twelve long lean years out of of fice and with t&elr appetites whet ted to a point where a sack of pea nuts looked like a feast, the Demo crats descended upon the White House executive offices the morning of the first working day the new president was at his desk. They came In through ' the front gates, through the side gates, and one of them almost kissed a colored furnaoe-man who', hearing a commo tion outside. Inadvertently opened a basement door. , They were armed with letters from everybody but the Pope. Nothing like It had been seen since the day after Harding was Inaugurated when a delegation of Ohio office-seekers took possession of the place and stayed a week. Not a peep was heard from F. D. until about noon, when, showing his old naval training, he discharged a depth bomb. That there was also a moratorium on job seekers and that he would not concern himself with distribution of plums until he had fi nally acted on the emergency bank ing legislation shocked the faithful. As a result the exodus of the Job seekers army there was an air of tranquility about the White House Tuesday morning which has not been equalled on the second morning of any president's occupancy In forty years. When a new man goes In usually there are taxicabs dashing up to t.he door discharging personages who are bursting with Importance. Many of these will, upon the slightest pretext, confide the fact that he carried his own state for the successful candidate. Also missing were the thousands of Blghtseers usually running higher and thither about the White House for several days after an Inaugural. Taking their cue from the presi dent the men about the White House were smiling. After his banking edict Mr. Roosevelt appeared to be like a man with, tho weight of the world off his shoulders. Rare Stones Collected And Cut by Local Man (By lira Fewell.) Bocks, by every other name. That's what the collection of over 1,000 cut stones, and hundreds of unfinished specimens might be called, which B. R. Santo of 030 South Ivy street has arranged in his tiny workshop in the back of his garage. The more valu able of his atones are kept In glass topped cases In his home. During the past two years, Mr. Santo has been making a search through the southern Oregon hills for specimens of the various types of rock formation, and those of the more rare varieties are exchanged with traders who visit his little shop. Through this bartering, Mr. Santo now has stones from many coun tries the gorgeous green malachie of tries the gorgeous green malachite of Philippines, the uncanny tiger-eye of south Africa, and marble from Mex ico, which might easily be mistaken for butterscotch. But Inside the cigar boxes, ar ranged neatly in rows in the work shop, are hundreds of southern Ore gon rocks, which compare favorably with those from any other section. Among the collection Is one large group of amethyst crystals, taken from the Little Butte district. Fossilized sandstone, with clam shells in it, a large rock crystal be longing to the group often used as "diamonds," taken from the Black Hills, and a petrified cactus from Texas, make up a part of the array, as do a leopard onyx from Nebraska, some green marble and Jasper from South Dakota, rose quarts and for mations with little garnets imbedded. Other southern Oregon specimens which Mr. Santo has found In his continuous searching, are an Ivory tusk from the Antelope district, pet rified bulbs, and a petrified deer or elk horn which was brought from the Dead Indian country. A desert rose, in the hues becom ing such a flower. Is among the most beautiful of the rocks. Some black agates of South Dakota have been polished by Mr. Santo In his shop, and some natrollte from Dead Indian and Little Butte make up a portion of the group of local formations. There Is also some white marble, brought from Miller oreek In Jose phine county. Views in some of the polished agates are quite unusual, one having a beautiful sunset, another a wood land scene, and still another a per fect view of Roxy Ann. A little but terfly Is the centerpiece of one stone, and several have perfect sprays of moss in them. Mr. Santo has one group of stones which he refuses to part with, re gardless of offers from the many traders who visit his little home. When his array of specimens Is more complete, he said, Mr. Santo plans to display them to the city of Med ford. Oregon WeWather.

Head, hands and feet protrude, and are held by specta tors while the magician takes a crosscut saw and, with the help of an assistant, saws through the center of the box and apparently through the wo man. EXPLANATION: There are many explanations for this Illusion. Ooe method of performing this illusion requires the presence of tnuo girls in, the box. One girl curls up in the left half of the box with her head and hands protruding, giving the effect you see illustrated above. The other girl is doubled up in the right half of the box, with only her feet showing. Nobody Is sawed in half. It's fu n to be fooled ...it's more fun to KNOW Cigarette advertising, too, has its tricks,' Consider the illusion that "Flavor" can be achieved by some kind of magical hocus pocus in manufacturing.
