PAPER FROM CORN STALKS.

II HE chemists of the Bureau OF Foresty and
u the Bureau of Plant Industry are expert
menting with process to make paper from corn
stalks, and if they succeed they will become the
most exponent allies OF the reforestation forces.
The demand for wood pulp from which TO
make paper has resulted in the stripping Of the
forests in many regions Anything and every
thing in the way of wood, including that which
the umberman rejects, goes to the paper maker,
and the demand of the latter is insatiate.
The American forests cannot supply the de-
mand, and about 20 per cent. of the three million
cords of wood used by the paper maker annually
comes from Canada, the duty, of course, making
the final cost of the paper more expensive TO the
consumer
The humble cornstak, then, holds out hope
for the expcrimenters believe their efforts will be
successful-of keeping the price of paper from
soaring to even higher figures and freeing paper
users from the clutches of a trust that has laid a
heavy hand upon them

GOOD ROADS IN NEW YORK.

a TO good roads, the present year in New
YoiS State bids fair to break all previous
records in the amount OF work done. By the end
Of the year 700 miles of good roads will have been
completed in the State. about twice as many miles
as were improved during 1907 in New York For
The work of good roads the New York Legsla-
ture has spent more than SII.ooo,ooo. The chief
engineer of New York notes that the advent OF
the automobile has considerably changed the
problem Of highway construction The rapidly
moving vehicles tend to destroy or nure the im-
proved highways to large extent. and the road
officials are experimenting TO sec how the roads
ran be improved to meet the demands of this sort
of traffic The experiments so far have not been
definitely satisfactory.
Here in Delaware we have started in for inn
proved highways, and the Levy Court OF this
county has done considerable work in actual inn
provements. The countys money has not been
wasted with that recklessness that marked Demo
cratic control OF the county. If the good roads

TO EXAMINE BANK DIREcToss.

IN IRECTORS OF national banks are to be put
- on the rack. Believing that they should
pay more attention to the work of their institu-
tons, Comptroller of the Currency Murray has
issued list of twenty-nine searching questions to
be put by examiners TO each individual director
when making their next examination.
The questions are designed to bring out clearly
the relation of the directors to the executive
duct of the bank the extent of their knowledge
Of the paper held by the bank; the degree Of lati-
tude conceded by them to bank officers in over
stepping the provisions of the national banking
laws and the nature of their oversight of accounts
and assets of the composition of the reserves, and
of the correctness of the reports of the banks as
turned in.
Special stress is laid on the attention which has
been given by directors to criticisms originating
with the comptrolers office One question is:
GLOW many of the directors have read the ma
tonal bank act, and how many Rno wthe duties of
directors and what the courts have decided as to
the responsibility and liability of directors" This
is probably the first time a complete inquiry into
the relationship between directors and their insti7
tutons has been officially undertaken
