Interesting Treasures.

AT the Worlds Fair. A Glimpse at its
Interesting Treasures.
o. more real interest to the average
visitor to the Worlds Fair than all the
confusing array of locomotives, cars,
ships, wagons, bicycles, and yelocipedes
in the great Transportation Buildirg is
the compsct yet comprehensive exhibit
which the Peunsy ivauiI Railroad Com
pany makes in its own beautiful little
model railway station What with signal
tower, overhead foot bridge, automatic
switches, tracks, ballast, and bitches ust
outside its doors, aud the original John
Bull'' locomotive. the oldest in America,
with its train OF Hu'iqne cars, and the
colossal iron vehicles upon which the
huge Krupp guns were conveyed from
Baltimore to the Exposition standing in
the shadow of its walls, it presents to
tn, passer by an appearance so distinctly
characteristic tina; a careful inspection of
the treasures Of the Interior is almost
inevitable.
Once inside you enter Immediately
in TO study of transportation history in
the United States on the Kindergarten or
object lesson bass, and by means of
models, ranging from the old Conestoga
wagon, through a serious of curiously
fashioned cars, up to the standard loco
motives and passenger coaches of to day,
you secure Il most effective idea of rail
road progress. Nor do the models here
shown have TO do with vehicles only. In
the cases which line the walls of the cool
white interior are also to be seen models
of tracks of all periods, various systems
OF signals in use at different times, and
even tickets aid time tables, not
forgetting conductors punches and
lanterns.
In the way of models. the post Of
honor is given to magnificent reprcduc
ton of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany's new double deck ferry boat
Washington" which plies between
New York and Jersey City, model
complete in every detail, even to the
electric lighting and the rubber mats at
the doors. Maps, in relief, of most
interesting and instructive character are
numerous, not the least important being
one four feet wide by twelve feet long,
showing at once the old Portage, the
new Portage, and the present road of the
company over the Alleghenies, all
arranged to scale, and giving better
notion of that wonderful feat of engineer
ing, tie Horse shoe Curve, than can even
be had by trip over it.
To furnish comprehensive idea OF the
magnitude of the Pennsylvania Railroad
systemn no better method could have
been adopted than that which is here
presented in the shape OF perspective
map, thirty three feet long showing the
position of each train i'll motion on the
system at 8 p. M, on Columbia Day,
October 21st, 1929, the Passenger trains
being indicated by tiny gilt locomotives,
and the freight trains by similar locomo
tives colored blue. 10 addition to all this
there is case after case OF photographs,
posters, letters, bills aud other docu-
ments, all more or less interesting, and
number of wax figures, clothed in the
uniforms of the Pennsylvania working
stag of employees, from baggage porters
to conductors.

sketch of Mr., J. Leland Hanna formerly
of this County, which his former pupl's
as well as friends generally will be glad
to read. One OF tho most successful!
real estate men, says tho Nerdjd. is Mr.
J. Leland Hanna, who has an office in
the Law Building. He was born
in Lancaster county, Pa. OF Scotch
Irish p4reura!e Ia 1878 he vas ap
pointed principal OF the public school 1T
Elkton, Cecil county, Md. DARING the
four years he occupied that position he
studied law with the late Alexander
Evans, and was admitted to the Elkt0n
bar in the spring of 1877. In the fall
of the same year he was admitted 20 the
Baltimore bar, and began practice there.
After securing a considerable building
association practice he naturally became
interested in real estate, and some years
ago he took an office in the eileen build
ing, and REGULAR entered the business
becoming a member of the Real Estate
Exchange and later on member of i'll
board of directors. He has been largely
interested in suburban developmeI
notably in the northwestern suburbs,
where large holdings have been COM

Country Banks i'll Maryland.

A comparison of the statement made
TO the comptroller of the currency by the
forty six national banks of Mary land
out side of Baltimore with that for the
same banks on May 4, the date of the
last call shows that the country banks
of Maryland have weathered the
financial crisis thus far about as well as
have those of Baltimore city, and far
better than the banks of almost any
other part of the country. II fact the
banks of Baltimore aud Maryland have
a reputation in the office of the comp
troller OF the Currency far above similar
Institutions IN other States and cities,
for there is no State in the Union in
which banking is carried on more safe
lines than in Maryland. There are
forty six national banks in the State
outside of Baltimore and the statement
shows that in view OF the present state
of financial affairs they have increased
their reserves from 2l.67 per cent, to
90 0S per cent, the legal requirement.

dividual deposits decreased from SO, G23
$3.50 to 80, 553, 629 81. This slight
decrease in deposits at this time when
banks throughout the country have
suffered from the lack of confidence of
their depositOrs shows that the banks o.
Maryland enjoy the confidence of the
communities in which they are situated
to degree equaled by few others in
the country and it is doubtful if there
are forty six other banks in the entire
country that can make such a favorable
showing in this regard as do the banks
of Maryland The amount due other
national banks has increased from
