Mr.. Johnson: THANK you, Mr. Bones, for
your solicitude. l rejoice to say that l am

Mr.. Bones All looks fo em, Mistah
Johnson, All looks TO EN- Mistah Johnson,
All got a conundrum to ask yo' dis evenin' ="
Mr.. Johnson: A conundrum Mr.. Bones?"
Mr.. Bones "Yassah, conundrum.'
Mr.. Johnson: Proceed with it, and
shall endeavor to elucidate.
Mr.. Bones Don call me no names,
Mstah Johnson!'
Mr.. Johnson: 81 merely said that should
attempt to clarity the peninsularity of the
enigma-to answer your conundrum"
Mr.. Bones: "Ohl Well, den, Mistah Johnson,
kin yo' tell me de diff ence between a con-
sumptive's symptom and a hearse?"
Mr.. Johnson: Let me understand you,
Mr.. Bones The question is: What is the
difference between a consumptive's symptom
and a hearse?"
Mr.. Bones: "Yassah What am de diff
ence between consumptives symptom and
hearse?"
Mr.. Johnson: THAT is rather a difficult
question, Mr.. Bones-the difference between
a consumptive's symptom and a hearse-a
"a grave question, l might say. l must admit
that l do not know the difference between
a consumptive's symptom and a hearse.
What is the difference between consumptive' S

Feats of Memory

L patient practice may be cultivated and
trained to wonderful degree. Morphy, the Gel
ebrated chess player could play several games
of chess simultaneously without seeing any
OF the boards which the various games were
being conducted. 1t was a peculiarly i'm
pressive sight to see him standing in the
middle of the floor, with his arms folded defend
ing himself and attacking the various oppo-
nents, with the position of the chess men on
the several boards always in his minds eye.

Ancient Bank Notes

THE oldest bank notes in the world are the
flying money" or convenient money,
first issued in China in 26o7 B. c. One writer
tells that the ancient Chinese bank notes were
in many respects similar to those of the present
day; bearing the name of the bank, the date
of ISSUE the number of the note, the signature
of the official who issued it, and its value, in
both figures and words
On the top of these curious notes was the
following philosophic injunction: Produce
all you can; spend with economy" The note
was printed in blue ink on paper made from
the fiber of the mulberry tree. One of these
served in the Asiatic Museum at ST. Peters
burg.

NATIONAL BANKS MUST
REDUCE their LOANS
May No Longer Lend on Undi-
vided Profits as Part of
the Surplus.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

WASHINGTON, July S-w. B.
Ridgely, Comptroller of the Currency,
has notified all the national banks in
the country that the recent law of Con-
gress permitting national banks to
lend 10 per cent of their capital and
unimpaired surplus does not include
undivided profits as part of the sur
plus Some of the banks took the
ground that because under the con-
struction of the war revenue law the
undivided profits were regarded as part
of the surplus for purposes of taxa
tion, the new legislation included un-
divided profits within the term sur
plus"
Comptroller Ridgely has also in
formed the officers Of the national
banks that excessive loans must be
collected or reduced to the limit at
once and that 1t will be the policy of
the Comptroller of the Currency to
enforce the law by requiring every
bank to keep Its loans within the
statutory limit.
In urging this legislation on Con-
gress Comptroller Ridgely explained
that he found 1T impossible to enforce

Southern Pacific facilities it has never
enjoyed in the movement of its heavy
trans-bay freight traffic. Besides re-
lieving a heavy pressure at Oakland It
viii simplify the handling of freight in
avoiding the necessity of frequent re-
shipping on the transfer ferry-boats be-
tween Oakland and San Francisco
The congestion at West Oakland has
been a serious problem. It has com
pelled the earnest attention OF the rail-
way officials for months. Much of the
recent new trackage plans on the Oak
land side have been formulated with the
main idea of relief. With the demand
which the rebuilding Of San Francisco
will create for materials the company
has been forced to hasten its cutoff
project to completion.

RATE BILL FAILURE
Wisconsin Statesman Says 1t

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


EVANSVILLE, Ind, July S-Senator
La Toilette turned upon Senator Hem
enway, who introduced him to his audi
ence here yesterday, and publicly
! grilled him for his opposition to the
amendments proposed for the rate bill
by the Wisconsin Senator. La Toilette
spoke before the Evansville Chautau-
qua on railroad rate legislation. He
declared that the bill just passed by
! Congress did mot have leg to stand
| on; that the time spent in considering
| 1t was wasted, it would serve no
good purpose, and announced his inten-
tion of denouncing it before every au-
dience he addressed this season. Had
the bill been defeated, he said, II would
have been a good thing, as 1t would
have caused a popular uprising and re-
suited in the passage of a bill at the
next session that would have brought
relief from the rebate evil.
Then the speaker gave his attention
to Senator Hemenway, who sat just be-
hind him, and criticised him for his op-
position to the amendments offered to
the measure with a view of making ii
effective.
Senator La Toilette read an amend
ment which he had proposed which pro-
vided that the Interstate Commerce
Commission might hire expert engin-
eers to ascertain the value OF railroads
and the cost of maintenance. Upon in
formation thus gained, he said 1t could
be determined what was a fair rate.
He then called the roll of the Senate
and showed that Hemenway had voted
against the amendment.
La Toilette said he proposed another
amendment making 1t impossible for
any Judge owning railroad stock to try
a case involving rates. Another call
of the roll of the Senate showed Hem
enway had voted against that amend
ment
Hemenway blushed scarlet, and the
crowd laughed and groaned as La Fol-
1ette thus continued to show up the rec
ord that Hemenway had made. Amend
ment after amendment was read, and
Hemenway appeared as opposed to
them, and the crowd cheered and
groaned. much to the discontinue of
the Indiana Senator.

Dumbarton Point, extending into San
Francisco Bay at it's southern extrem-
ity, has been the objective point of
many railway projects but not until
the Southern Pacific Company finally
developed its long-standing plans has
the assurance been given that this ex-
cellent natural crossing from the east
shore or the bay would be utilized.
So near does Dumbarton Point reach

which the company proposes 10 link its
west side tracks with its lines out Of

Rineer OF the Southern Pacific Company
