US tell you about that bank tail
ure. Since the Oklahoma law
went into effect there have been
several small failures. The bank
examiner took charge and offered
to pay the depositors and they
all declined to take their money.
As they knew that il was safe
they refused TO get scared
and without a scare how are you
going to have a panic. Then the
bankers who have never favored
the law concluded to have a fail
urc that would work. So they Sc
lcctcd a bank that Sas . reserve

and they had it 60 broke. The
bank examiner arrived on schcd
ual time and began paying the
depositors same as heretofore
and everything moved smoothly
except that the bankers clamored
tor their money much worse than
the people mad in previous fail
ures. This looked like conspir-
acy. and as the reserve fund for
paying the liabilities OF busted
banks was running low. the cx'
sminer made his call for a two
per cent. assessment o. the banks
generally to meet the crisis. This
seemed to have the desired ct

wild desire Of the banks to draw
out their money and in few days

We have not the slightest doubt in

Law and see il It could not be dis
credited. The prompt action Of
the examiner under the law. his

AUTO GOGGLES
INVADE The navy

Washington. Dec. 16.--Automobtle
goggles for the navy Is the latest
thing. Men who are required to do
duty on the deck Of the Fluzzer, the
swiftest little torpedo boat destroyer
in the navy, have introduced the au-
tomobile goggles into the service. The
men found the goggles mighty handy to
keep the spray out Of their eyes as the
destroyer swept along at thirty knots
an hour, and likewise the smoke from
the tunnels that open out just about on
q level with the mems heads. So useful
have the goggles been found that their
use may become general on the smaller
craft in the navy.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-The leasing
OF coal-bearing lands within forest re-
serves is authorized in a bill intro
duced by Senator c. l. Crawford of

coal claims, which were the immediate

between Richard A. Ballinger, secre-
tary OF the interior, and clifford Pin
chot, chief forester OF the government.
The Crawford bill provides that all
coal lands included in forest reserves
shah hereafter be leased under regu-
lations TO be prescribed by the secre-
tary OF the interior and that the title
In fee TO all such coal lands shall re-
main In the United States.

ment, or any association or persons
duly qualified, may enter upon such
lands within forest reserves, the area

The Crawford bill contains an anti
trust provision which terminates any
lease Of coal lands in the event that
any Jesse enters into a contract In re-
straint of trade or to establish a mo-
nopoly in miningaor selling or coal.
The Crawford bill is understood to
have the approval Of the secretary of
