BANKERS MAY FORM
NEW ASSOCIATION
Emergency Currency 0rgani-
cation Contemplated by
Local Financial Men.

While no definite action has vet
been taken by local bankers toward
reney association, il is said that such
an organization Will be formed by
local bankers within the not distant fu-
ture. SO lar, however, the matter has
only reached the stage OF consideration.
The emergency currency law recently
passed provides that ten banks OF any
vicinity may pool their securities, OF
an optional portion OF them, forward
them TO the secretary of the treasury
for approval, and II passed, emergency
national bank currency Will be issued
the temporary syndicate on these Sc
curities to the extent OF 80 per cent. In
turn. each or the banks within the
coalition viii be issued this bank cur
rency in the sum of 80 per cent Of their
proportion in the securities.
This law was passed as a protective
measure in time of panic, and its OPP
Grafton Is only desirable at such times
as there may be financial stringency.
The currency so issued Will not diff
Ter from the regulation national bank
note. which was altered following the
passage of the bill, having formerly
read, Secured by United States bonds. %
The words "Or other securities" have
been added 10 ObViate the necessity Of
a distinct issue OF currency TO cover
these emergency cases.
Retirement PrOvIsO.
Provision is made in the law for the
retirement Of these notes at such a
time as they shall no longer be found
necessary and for the Withdrawal of
the securities deposited with the gov
eminent as collateral. The law was
made effective in a few eastern cities
Immediately after its passage, but
banks joining in these associations dis
covered undesirable features in the
statute, one OF which was the lack OF
the provision for retirement OF the
emergency currency and for the with
drawal of securities. Another was the
provision that the secretary of the
treasury could force the association 10
admit another bank Of his own nam
ing at his own option The first error
was later corrected and the assurance
of the secretary of the treasury that
he would not enforce the second cleared
the way for the re-establishmen of the
institution.

A total of 1861 babies under the

the United States census bureau.
The causes of earliest death are
prematurity, malformation, injuries
sustained at birth and syphilis. These

Next in order of deadliness to the
newborn comes commissions, charged
with 5,295 deaths under one year.
The term commissions signifies

of death. Combining commissions
with other ill-defined and unknown
causes, another group is separated,
under the title unexplained These
numbered in 1908 in the registration
