FIGURES SHOW
THRIFT INCREASE
HARRISBURG, Pa, June


Figures quoted by State Commits
sioner of Banking William II. Smith
in his annual report, which was sent
to Governor Edwin S. Stuart a few
days ago, show that last year institu-
tions doing a general banking business
under the supervision of the State De-
partment of Banking held 1,669, 379
deposit accounts.
These figures, taken with data pre-
viously published showing the i'm
mense resources of Pennsylvania S
financial institutions, in addition to
national banks, are indicative of the
thrift of the Pennsylvania, be he cap
italist, salaried man or wage Garner
An encouraging feature of the fig
ures referring to the number of in-
dividual deposits is that almost one
third are in savings institutions, such
deposits usually being made by men
and women who can lay by only small
amounts at one time, and who never
accumulate very large deposit.
Commissioner Smiths figures show
that trust companies on November 6,
1909, just three weeks before the end
of the fiscal year covered by the re-
port, had 7S5, 1868 deposit accounts
savings institutions had 456, $40, and
banks had 427, AL.
Some attention in the report is de.
voted to the reviewing of conditions
generally and especially to pointing
out the forward strides which have
been made by trust companies since
the creation of the State Department
of Banking in 1892.

He was removed to his home on East
Market street where he was attended
by Drs. Stock and Paules. 1t was dis
covered that no bones we're broken, al
though he was painfully bruised and
suffered from the effects of the shock
He will recover in few days.

An African Cannibae Race,

One of the queer customs of the
Baamba race in Africa is cannibalism
of a particularly loathsome form, ac-
cording to writer in the Geograph-
ical Journal. Families exchange their
young children, who are then eaten.
He continues that the Baamba in
many cases file their teeth, but this
practice is not quite general. They
are jovial despite these singular char
acteristics. The Bunyoros. another
tribe, have an unpleasant custom Of
extracting the four lower incisors,
which causes the upper teeth to grow
forward, imparting to their mouths a
most unbecoming rabbit-like appear
ance. The Bahima. he says again, be-
lieve vaguely in an all powerful diety,
who Is associated mainly with rain,
thunder and other weather phenome-
ma. They endeavor to propitiate va
rious devils, most of whom are con-
nected with the prevalent diseases by
erecting joss houses in which food and
beer are placed. They Invariably car
" round the neck wooden charms or
small goats horns which have been
invested with magical power by the
medicine men and usually wear wire
bracelets and anklets.
