#7 This day in history, not much to note, but for your amusement, I offer this trip down memory lane, from p. 3 of the New York Times, 8 March 1933:
BANKING CHAOS SEEN AS SPUR TO REFORM;
Need for National Revision Is Cited as Leaders Falter Over Relief Measures.
ALL EYES ON WASHINGTON
Dependency of System on Federal Action Revealed in Confusion Here.
IN QUANDARY OVER SCRIP
Financiers Hold Parleys, but Fail to Agree on Emergency Move on Third Day of Holiday.
Out of the confusion of opinion and practice which existed among the New York banks yesterday on the third day of the banking holiday there emerged a growing concern that the national crisis would have to be settled by a thorough-going reorganization of the banking system. Bankers who have been working on the plan to issue New York Clearing House certificates as a substitute for currency expressed doubt that the scrip would ever be used. Other bankers said the entire matter was undecided and that everything depended on the decisions reached by the administration officials in Washington... A number of the bankers cling to the idea that it should be possible to reopen the banks in some fashion and begin banking operations just where they were left off along the old lines of organization, but others, who have suffered a rude awakening in the last few days, assert impatiently that any such belief is "perfect nonsense."..Once the public is assured of the soundness of the banking system, the money now in hoarding will flow back overnight into its accustomed channels and the business of the country can be resumed. [Some] bankers said provision should be made for a greater concentration and unification of banking resources and the establishment of wider branch banking facilities. In any case, they said, rigid Federal supervision is called for.

#13 I don't think she's lounging around the pool in her high heels. I think she learned that it is hard to walk in the grass in those things. She fell and she is writing a note to herself to not do that anymore. If you could read it, the note probably says, "Do not walk on the grass". Thanks Fred for another great shot.
