Roosevelt Era Banking Reform Expands Currency Powers
Congress enacted sweeping financial measures after Roosevelt asked for emergency banking reforms. The plan creates federal reserve bank notes backed by liquid assets and U S bonds, loosens gold backing, and aims to unify banks while weeding out weak institutions. Support actions include limiting hoarding and reopening banks with federal oversight.

Cutting the Cost of Lighting Units
Homemakers can reduce illumination expenses by keeping bulbs and globes clean to maximize brightness and by avoiding heavy or dark lamp shades that absorb light. White frosted and cut glass shades brighten rooms, while deep colored parchment shades dull illumination. Light colored parchment stays brighter, and shade choice matters for reading or sewing tasks.
