FOR BANK EXAMINATION
BY CLEARING HOUSES

That of Federal Examiners

DETROIT, Mich, December 7.-Bank
examination by clearing house COM
mittee supplemental to, but more search

aminers, formed the subject of an address
tonight by James B. Forgan, president of
the First National Bank of Chicago. In
which city a committee of the clearing
house has for some time had supervision
of the affairs of its members.
Mr.. Forgan. addressing the Bankers
Club of Detroit. strongly advocated this
system of clearing house supervision, and
said that while 1t partoOk Of the nature
of a "gentlemen's agreement" it worked

national bank may be in bad way be-

said. Such cases are exceptional, but they
result in disasters. A bureau of eXami-

Not Hampered by Rules.
"Our committee is not hampered by
rules or legal Definitions he said.
''They might find difficulty in defining
bad debt, but they would recognize one
when they saw 1t. They might regard as
a bad debt one which the interest had
been paid six months in advance. They
do not have to wait until a bank Is in
solvent in legal sense before they can
call it to time.
1T has been my practice to divide bank
assets into five classes. and for convent
ence to name them in dairy terms, such
as cream, sweetmilk. skim milk. sour
milk and sediment. To keep bank as
sweet and clean as model dairy these
two last named classes must be con-
Stantly eliminated.

WHAT AUTO TRUCKS DO
A Few Examples of Their Saving
Over Horses.

More interesting than claims that the
motor truck is an economy In transporta-
tion are specific instances where motor
service had proven its superiority.
Among such examples compiled by the
motor truck department of lhe American
Locomotive Company is that Of the Sea-
comet Coal Company, OF Providence. r. l..
which operates a six and one-half ton
truck This company estimates a saving OF
20 cents a ton in hauling coal. This truck
makes six trips and delivers thirty-nine
tons Of coal in the course Of day. The
average mileage is sixty.
Making liberal allowance for depreciation,
the Los Angeles Pressed Brick Company
figures that its fve-ton truck earns $500 a
year over horses, thereby paying ISL: per
cent on the investment.
As an example of reliability testimonial
from Charles W Young &. Co., of Phila-
delphia manufacturers of Pearl borax
soap. states that its fvc-ton truck has
never been delayed a single minute"
The auto truck operated by the Singer
Sewing Machine Company hauls Atty ma
chimes on every trip. and makes three
trips daily. a total OF $50 machines la a
day. or 1880 in a year.
Five pianos arc hauled on each trip BY
the three and one-hslf ton truck of Kohler
e. Campbell, Of New York. 1t serves six
piano factories, in addition to making sub
urban deliveries.
