burglars. forgcrs aud other swindlcrs
who up to that time had caused heavy
losses To many banking institutions.
Through the efforts of the protective
committee of the association many of
the big criminals have been put in
prison and such check has been put
on forgery that this once profitable
swindle is practically wiped out.
A fund is provided for the detection
and prosecution of bank robbers and
forgers. and when member of the
association is victimized in any way
the protective committee puts dctcc-
tives at work and never ceases its pur-
suit until the pcrpetrator is found.
Myron T. Ilerrick. the president of
the association, is one of the best
known bankers Of the middle west. He
is president of the Society For Savings
of Cleveland, an institution that has
deposits of over $35,U0u.eoO and Il sur
plus of S2.000O0O Mr. Iiorricl's sue
cess with the savings institution was
largely due to his encouragement of
small deposit accounts.

After peace came the discovery OF
petroleum in Pennsylvania. and from

sides. the excitement of the life held
them to IT.
When they became too old, though,
for the daring work, no natives took
their places. The Portuguese came to
fill the empty berths in the fo'castle,
and on the whole they fill them well.
Nearly all the captains of whalers
sailing out of New Bedford today are
Portuguese. and some of the owners
are of that race also. As for the sail
ors thcre are no others. All of the
vessels are many years old. and one
by one they are rotting TO pieces. Many

This dark belief is rather discredited.
however. by the present prosperous
conditions of the dwindled little indus
try At present the demand for sperm
oil is larger than the supply.
Many families laid foundations for
the great wealth for which New Bed
ford is noted in the whaling business.
Among those who were interested in
the business. which old captains say
must have been worth $70.000.000 in its
heyday. were the Merrills, the Roches
and the Robinsons.
Robinson was the father of Hetty

and luck in whaling that she Is now
known as "the richest woman in Amer

Perhaps other fortunes will be made
in the old business. Whaling is to con-
tinue despite the croakers. So long as
whales swim the seas and oil is valua.
BILE men will pursue them, reckless OF
hardships and danger.
