THE DEVELOPMENT or SPECIAL
TZED NTS

Mr.. Vaughan handled skilfully a TECH
nical subject Most plants. he said, may
he improved and adapted to conditions.
Plant development has been largely by
chance. Now the principles Of plant life
have come to be understood better
Among the Greeks and Romans there
were no real scientists. In the later
years botanists have learned the anat-
omy and physiology OF plants. Since
hybrdizinR began the development Of
plants has been rapid. Plant diseases
were discovered about fifty years ago:
most Of them can now ne successfully
met. Great results have been accom-
pleished in adapting wheat. oranges and
other plants: much more may he ex-
pected in this direction. Development
has been slow because the ned has not
been clearly defined. But the call for
specialized plants for particular sections
Is now made clear and We may be con-
ldent that the call will be met.

THE HELLENIC AND AMERICAN
CITIZENSHIP.

Mr.. Wilson said that the American
state was founded upon the ;ndividua-
listic idea. The community was for the
individual. In the Greek city-state the
citizen realized the common good of all
the citizens as his own good His pat
riotism was a spontaneous surrender of
himself to the state America suffers
from lack of this spirit. The Hellenic
states We're small; there was a personal
contact Of all citizens America IS
great. but we have a bond of union and
means of acquaintance in the public
press.
We are the nearer tha Hellenic IDEAL
Of state than any other country has
been. The HELENE lived for the state
that he might relazo tho highest dAvel-
opment himself His state was TO him
the universe; his whole time and activity
belonged to It, The end OF the city
state was to attain the noble life. The
members wero ono and the same. II is

It an ideal alone In America We have
had diversity; individuallsm has run riot.
The state IS used for the benefit of the
individual

Alright The last decide has witnessed a
great change. a return to Hellenic ideas.
We face the problem that the Greeks
faced. We are free from European
monarchical systems. We must realize
that the good of all is the good OF the in
div,dual and that the individual should
surrender himself TO the common good.

DR.. BlRAT BACK
FROM EUROPE

South Chicago, Sept. AFTER a
visit of several months in Europe DR..
Stephen S. Barat of Windsor Park
has returned in order to resume his
practice in South Chicago. His office
is in the Davis building.
DR.. Barat has just come back from
an extended trip abroad, on which he
combined business with pleasure, TAX
ing a special course Of four months in
Professor Boas world famous poly
clinical institute at Berlin. DR.. Barat
chose for his special study the gastraI
organs and considers himself well re-
paid for the time that he spent at the
institute He said that he was only
one of hundreds of foreign physicians
who had taken advantage of the
theories of the famous doctor.
Stomach troubles" said DR.. Barat,
ARE not distinctly American, although
it is admitted that they are more pre-
valent here than elsewhere. They are
distinct, however, from those encount-
cred in other countries in so far as
that the ailment here is of a nervous
nature and this is accounted for in the
nervous temperament of the American
people. Our people do not take time to
eat. In their haste to save time and
in the race for the almighty dollar
they abuse their stomach not so much
with what they force into it, but how
they put it in. They eat not because
they like to, but because it is a ne
cessity. What little time they have
lost in eating they try to make up in
the time nature requires for digestion. "
Although DR.. Barat started out to
make the trip alone he made many
pleasant acquaintances while abroad.
He visited Spain. France, Italy. Hun
gary, Croatia, Austria, Germany and
England. On his return trip DIT. Barat
met Mr.. and Mrs. John McCabe, who
were on their return from Europe.

Attorney General illustrates
Dangerous Scheme of
State Bankers.
IN ONE PAGE OPINION
Effort Made to Evade Law. Com
polling Paying Up Of Increase
in Capital Stock.
CspeeiaI to Lake County Tlmes.D


Indianapolis, Ind. Sept. Attorney
General James Bingham. acting with
Fred A. Sims, Secretary of State, has
headed of a very dangerous tendency
or movement, which might have led to
a validating in banking circles like
that of the days in the middle of the
last century. The movement was quiet
and almost escaped notice. 1t was a
simple page of opinion of the Attorney
Generals office. prepared by Henry
Bowling, deputy.
The law governing State banks,
passed in 1881 provides, for one thing,
that when the capital stock of a bank
is increased. it shall be fully paid up.
This was evidently for the protection
of all concerned, the depositors, the
holders of the old stock and the buyers
OF the new stock.
Bankers Find Supposed LoOphole.
The General Assembly of 1907 passed
law providing a way for the increase
of corporations in general. This law,
seemingly, permitted of the increase
in the capital stock of corporations
without. the increase being fully paid
up in advance This law was meant
to apply only to regular merchantile
and manufacturing corporations.
But several State banks sought TO
| increase their capital stock under this
law. They sought to increase their
capital stock without paying it up
fully. If this had been permitted, any
bank could have increased it's capital
(nominally) without having to put III
an additional dollar.
Hoping that he might be sustained
by the Attorney General, the Secretary
OF State refused to permit banks tC
increase their capital under the new
law. They insisted, and the Secretary
went to the legal department for ad
vice. Today this department gave al
opinion, only one page long, in which
the contention is supplied that in
creases in the capital stock of bank
must be fully paid up. as under the Law
o. 1881, and not under the 1907 Law
which applied, not to banks, but t,
merchantile, manufacturing and min
ing business.
