The causeis growing. Ok

now have compulsory systems
for the protection Of deposi-
tors in state banks. In Tex
as the state bank can choose
between joining the compul-
sorry system and giving indi-
vidual security, but SO far
every bank that has acted has
decided upon the guarantee
system. In Kansas and
South Dakota voluntary sys-
TENS havebeen adopted, while
in Colorado, Arkansas and In

sham has delivered an opin-
ion to the effect that national
banks are at liberty to insure
their depositors, and insurance
companies are already being
organized for the purpose.
The fight made last year has
had its influence, and in spite
cf republican opposition to the
plan. the protection OF deposi-
tors is coming. The republi-
can leaders have taken the
side of the big fnanciers, but
even the big hnanciers will in
the end be compelled to yield
to the just demand of the de-
positors for security. And SO
another democratic doctrine is
being indicated. The demo-

Mr.. Herman Fleck, in the
Quarterly Of the Colorado
School of mines. calls atten-
tion to the rising Importance
of the rare elements. A few
years agoaluminum was a rare
metal. The rapid use made
OF this metal and the birth of
the modern electric furnace
which procuces it SO cheaply
and in such large quantities
has made it quite a common
metal Boron, silicon, titan
ium and chromium metals were
very rarely seen in former
years, except in a museum,
and tungsten, vanadium and
Uranium were simply names
which glorihed their discover
ers. Nowadays, a ton of
tungsten or vanadiu n metal
is bought and sold like any
other ore. Since then, the
world having become light
mad and speed mad" it de-
mands tougher and more re-
sisting steel and still tougher
and more resisting tools with
which to work it. Skyscrap-
ers also demand a structural
ron Of hitherto unheard of
qualities, and the electric fur
race and thermit process have
made such things possible.

Geological Examination of
Panama.

The importance Of a careful
geological examination Of the
strata underlying a contem-
plated reservoir or dam is
shown in the care recently
taken in this respect in the
construction Of the great Cat
un Lake dam in connection
with the Panama canal. The
chief engineer says, in an ar
ticle in the National Geogra-
phic Magazine: ." 70 public
or private WORK of any kind
has received such a thorough
and exhaustive examination
and investigation as the foun-
dation of the dam and locks at

concerning any of the under
lying strata, neither the i'm

the foundations to bear the

Record Herald. in foreign news alone,
has it's own special cable service in
addition to those of the New 4o'k
Herald, World, Journal of Commerce
and Associated Press, This is fair
example of the completeness os the
paper in every department.
Aside from the regular news rea-
lures. there is something in the Sun
day Record Herald for every member
of the family. The special articles By
William e. Curtis and Walter We'll
man are always interesting. The
snorting section offers four whole
paees of fresh and authentic news in
every line of sport The woman's sec
ton is filed with illustrated articles
on the latest wrinkles in fashion and
domestic scierce with Marion Har

contributors, and Dame Cutsey's NOV

feature. The dramatic page, written

above all its rivals is it's magazine

can touch this in American journal
