MEXICO is a striking illustration Of
AVA the way modern business puts ma
tions under bonds to keep the peace
A naturally turbulent Latin-American
republic. mainly Indian in blood, pays
coupons on it's government bonds to
citizens Of 81 nations. That is the
number of countries represented last
year. In 1907. coupons on Mexican
government bonds were redeemed for
citizens of 16 nations.
Every country so interested, through
its citizens, in the stability and homes
ty of the Mexican republic, is an in
1uence on the side of peace and or
der in Mexico. In a very real sense
the Mexican nation has given bonds
to keep the peace by selling govern
ment securities to foreigners living
under many flags.
Less directly, but still in ways that
count heavily the sales. of private
property to foreign investors are also
equivalent to giving bonds to keep the
peace. In the last quarter of a CEN
tury American capital to the amount
of not less than 81, 900 100000, accord
ing to excellent authorities, has been
invested in Mexican mines, planta-

WASHINGTON.-The fighting ships
w are going on another cruise.
partly 70 rthe sake of the cruise and
partly to advertise the navy and at
tract young men to it. Sixteen of the
battleships will turn their prows away
from the home land and steam OF into
the Atlantic, bound on a tour of the
European ports.
For months the publicity experts of
the navy department have been ex-
plotting the voyage for the purpose of
getting young men to recruit. Not all
of them will be chosen to go, but they
all have an equal chance and those
who do not go this time will go the
next time. for 1t is the purpose to
have these cruises every year to make
the service more attractive to young
Americans and cause them to enlist
in such numbers as are required for
the proper manning of the fighting
ships.
When this cruise was first an
nounced, several months ago, the navy
department issued advertising matter
to draw recruits. One of its most ef-
fective documents was a circular let
ter, prepared at Washington, but sent
out from the various recruiting sta
tions. 1t was written in a heart-to-

Bank Failures Due to Lax Examiners

OF a banks true condition, that off,
GERS and directors of banks would not
correct conditions brought to their at.
tention. or any one Of another dozen
reasons, Mr.. Murray in his statement
says:
Many Of the examiners state in

ed to the controllers Office, that 1t is
hardship not only on the examiner
but upon many of the members of the
directory of country banks, to ask the
various boards to meet with the ex.
aminer during the progress or at the
close of the examination.
This investigation by the controller
and his chief of the division of re-
ports is also an investigation into the
methods employed by every national
bank examiner, and upon seeing them
make an examination Of several banks
and afterward holding a meeting of
the directors, he will be able to deter
mine who Of his examining force, II
any, are inefficient"

plates and that would be much great
er than the renewal of such as wear
out. On the other hand the experts
reckon that saving of $751;, ,6o3 a year
may be made by the reduction in size,
The secretary will ask congress to
conform the bank bills to the new d.
mensions at government charge fer
new plates.
The work of so modifying the paper
currency would require 18 months, SO
that no sudden appearance Of the
smaller notes can be expected. While
engravers and printers might ba busy.
the scheme would pass into an old
story.
The department hesitates to 20 fo,,.
ward in the matter without public Az
proval and invites criticism aud sug.
gestion. The clipping OF of more than
half an inch in width and 1.28 inch fn
length saves so much In paper and
permits five notes instead Of four to
be printed on a sheet. Tne guess how
much longer the smaller pote will last
than the present paper can be vert,

For Halloween.

From the voluminous correspondence
which has poured into the Office re-
garding Halloween" II would seem
or poor, intended to celebrate on this
most fascinating festival day. Madame
Merri sincerely hopes that there has
been something in the departments to
suit the needs Of all.
Here is very simple method Of de-
termining ones future partner in life.
1t is called the yarn" test:
At the stroke of midnight the girls
must all go upstairs, the men remain
ing in the hall below. Then each maid
in turn drops a ball of light yarn over
the banisters. OF course, she must
hold tightly to one end of the yarn and
remain unseen when she throws 1t
down.
The men scramble for the ball, and
the one who gets it, when the yarn is
drawn taut by the girl above, must re-
ply by giving his true name when the
unseen holder says who holds?"
If he recognizes her voice, so much
in their favor; If the girl drops the end
she holds, she will remain unmarried;
If the yarn breaks she will not marry
any of the men present on this occa-
sion.
This test is always sure to provide
a happy ending to the party, and 1t is
also a means of pairing the guests for
refreshments or for any game where 1t
is necessary to choose partners.

CLOSE upon the heels of the radical
~ shake-up in the ranks of the
United States bank examiners, by
which 20 men were shifted to new
fields, Controller of Currency Murray
announces that he will make a per-
sonal investigation of conditions In all
examination districts. In deciding
upon this course of action the con-
troller says:
"In almost every case of national
bank failure since / have been con-
troller the insolvency could have been
averted had the national bank exam
iner determined the true condition and
reported his findings in time for me to
force correction in the administra-
tion of the banks affairs"

are not fixed by statute. but by habit
the notes are 304 inches long and 1928

renews the plan more than once pro-
posed before to reduce these d.
mensions. The size talked about Is
2.5 inches by six inches, which has for
some time been used with favor In
the Philippines. Our people are IA

the treasury is now considering.

Cruise of World for Naval Cadets

heart style. The cruise meant, &C
cording to the letter-writer, that
thousands of young Americans will
have a chance to see the world and
get paid for 1t. Do people who save
for months or years to go abroad ever
regret it? I want to ask you this inn
portant question: Are you willing to
travel II you are well paid for 1t. or
would you rather stay at home and
read about it?"
Naturally, when it is put up to him
man concludes that he would a good
deal rather travel and get paid for it,
and he hies to the nearest recruiting
station and enlists. Long cruises cost
lot of money, but they bring in
young men and the navy must have
young men even If they do come high.
Another heart-to-heart letter is ad-
dressed to the young man who is
tired Of his job. Perhaps you are un-
happy in your present job" writes the
recruiting officer. Perhaps it doesn't
pay you enough. Perhaps there Is no
future to 1t. Perhaps your present
work will never satisfy your burning
ambition to win great success. Well,
now If you want to change your job,
I'd like to have talk with you and
tell you all about a bluejacket's life
in the navy"
If the young man isn't tired of his
job that letter is calculated to make
him tired of it, and the navy gets an
other man. Other appeals are made,
but the cruise talks are what bring
the best results.
