Preferred the Pavement to Luxury.

Thackerays crossing sweeper
who kept his carriage was not en-
tirely a creation of his magma
ton. Il knew man, says Dago-
net in the London Referee, "who
took his stand daily outside a pub
lie house, fetched cabs and did odd
jobs. His relations were very well
off indeed, and year or two ago
they persuaded him to go to live
with them. After leading life OF
luxury for a couple of months he
reappeared one day outside the pub
lie house. |, knowing his circum-
stances, asked him why he had left
comfort for the cold pavement. 4
had to- he said. Il stood it as long
as I could, but when they wanted
me to dress for dinner every time
they had company I chucked it.

Mason and Dixcn's Line.

The Mason and Dixon's line"
the name given to the boundary line
between Pennsylvania and Mary
land, was run, with the exception
of some twenty-five miles, by
Charles Mason and jeremiah Dix
on, two English mathematicians
and surveyors, between November,
1868, and December, 1767. During
the excited debate in congress in
1920 on the exclusion of slavery
from Missouri John Randolph
made great use Of the phrase, which
was caught up by all the newspa-
pers of the country and thus gain
ed the celebrity it still holds.

Home of the Navel Orange.

'Bahia, Brazil, the home of the
navel orange, from which place the
late William G. Saunders imported
the first navel orange tree to the
United States, raises large quanti-
ties of this luscious fruit, but does
not export a single orange" said a
man formerly in the diplomatic
service in Brazil. NEARLY every
family has an orange and banana
tree in the back yard, and some
have a number of trees. These are
merely for home consumption.
"Mr. Saunders, when he began
the reproduction and distribution
Of the navel orange tree, the orig
inal of which. | believe, is still in
the grounds of the department OF
agriculture. thought he could re-
produce the same quality of orange,
bat 10 not think he succeeded, al
thon.h the American navel orange
Is q f:nc fruit. II would be impossi-
bic to produce in Eahia any great
quantity of oranges for export be-
cause there arc no facilities for
keeping the fruit after it is picked" "

And That Ended X.

Two officers once appeared before
one of the crowned heads of Europe
to ask permission to fight a duel, as
one had grievously insulted the
other.
Certainly, my friends" said the
king. 81 will be present myself at
the encounter"
On the day appointed the king
appeared on the scene accompanied
by sinister looking person, who
proved to be the public executioner.
Pointing to the two combatants, the
king said:
"You see those two men? Imme-
diately after their duel you will be-
head the survivor"

American Bankers Seem
to Favor Segregation
Of Deposits.
COMMITTEES REPORT
To Bend Every Effort for Uni
form State Laws Bearing !.
on Business.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The annual con- /
vention of the National Association of
Supervisors of State Banks was held
today. Pierre Jay, president of the
association, delivered an address.
Would Separate Accounts.
Mr.. Jay, in recommending uniform
banking laws in all states, spoke in
cases separate the savings deposits
from commercial accounts. 1t is only
by doing this. he declared, that the
establishment of postal savings banks
by the government can be prevented.
Mr.. Jay said in part: Since we met
in June, 1908, question in which we
are vitally interested, the safety of
bank deposits, has been made one of
the major issues of a great political
campaign. The result has been the
election of a president, pledged by his
platform to create postal savings
bank. In South Dakota, Nebraska.
Kansas and Texas laws have been en-
acted guaranteeing safety of deposits.
Thus it is plain that public opinion in
some parts of the country at least is
not satisfied with the conditions un-
der which banking is now carried on,
or with the measure of protection
which bank supervision has managed
to give.
New York Went Further.
81 think it is clear that the national
bank act and most of the state bank,
ing laws only empower the supervisor
to see that the law is obeyed 1t re-
manned for New York, however, after
the panic of 1908, to give to the super
visor power not only to direct the dis
continuance of unsafe and unsOund
practices, but after certain steps to
take possession of and liquidate any
bank which neglects such directions.
"In addition to recommending that
provisions similar to those existing in
New York be enacted in every state,
it is also recommended
| "1. That the supervisor shall be a
practical banker or should have some
other recognized qualification for the
Office.
go That politics should play no
part in his appointment.
| ''3. That he should have a free
hand in selecting his assistants.
a. That his staff should be large
enough to make thorough semi-annual
examinations.
''5 And since am no longer a su
lpervisor, / may add that the salaries
paid should be large enough to secure
a, high grade of men as supervisors
and examiners"
Lnw Committee Makes Report.
Jays address was followed by the
report of the committee on uniform
state banking laws and uniform classi-
fication of bank reports. The commit
| tee reports that the committee of the
savings bank section of the American
Bankers association has adopted the
principle of segregation and proper in
vestment of savings deposits as its
legislative program. Also that con-
siderable number of supervisors of
state banks recommended to their re-
spective legislatures the enactment of
Legislation along the lines of the rec
concentrations.
Several states Need Laws.
