PASSAGE OF FLEET TO
TRY THE PANAMA CANAL.
Plans Made to Mobilize Ships In Pa
cific For Test.

Plans are being formed for the mobi-
lization of the Atlantic fleet on the Pa
cific coast next fall or early winter
The fleet will be sent through the
Panama canal as soon as it is complet-
ed In order to determine how well and
how quickly this may be accomplished
in case Of necessity.
Secretary Daniels, after a conference
with Secretary Garrison, who had tele-
graphed Colonel Goethals for definite
information, finds that the chief engi-
neer expects the water to be turned
into the Culebra cut in October and
that one flight of locks at each end Of
the canal will then be ready for USE
Colonel Goethals said the opening of
the canal had always been predicated
on the condition of the slides and the
completion of the locks. If in October,
when the water is turned in at Culebra,
slides do not prevent it will be pos
sible to pass vessels through. Colonel
Goethals is confident of being able to
pass vessels through by the end of the
year, at all events.
1t is planned to send the Fran
through the canal, if possible, on her
way to be used in Amundsen's arctic
cruise, and that ship will be the first,
after the old battleship Oregon, to go
through. Colonel Goethals, however,
gives no positive assurances as to the
time when the canal may be used be-
cause of the uncertainty of slides at

Rules For Lawyers.
In his speech at the first annual din
ner of the George Washington Uni
versity Law school Vice President
Marshall laid down rules for the NOR
al and professional guidance Of the
young lawyer-legal ten command
ments. Here they are in a condensed
paraphrase:

extent of being willing to write dis
honest contract in order to get large
fee.

Eighth.-Use your influence to COM
pei person charged with crime to tes-
tify in the cause. The innocent man
cannot be harmed thereby.
Ninth.-Take the part of the known

Lie Is Habit, HE Says In Address at
Yale University.
Sir William Osler of London outlined
a new method of life while address
ing the Yale university students re-
Gently. He urged them to live for the
present.
''My method is the freshest, oldest,
simplest and usefulest handle in which
to fit your tool of life," he said For
get the past, forget the future. Life Is
q habit as hard or as easy to acquire
as any other in life. I'm no genius
my friends have found out that-but
take no thought for the future, touch
a button that will shut off the past
and another that will shut off the fu-
ture, and you will have a vaccine that
will insure you against all morbid
thought When the load of tomorrow
is added to the load Of yesterday many
men falter on the way.
"The first two hours of a day deter
mine that day. If you have been
romping with the younger Aphrodite
the night before you will be as bleary
eyed as a fish when you ge up and the
day will be lost. Quit tobacco and
liquor. Bright eyes are the thing, and
bright eyes never came from too free
indulgence"

cred of evenings in his little shop he
used to tell his ideas of the possibili-

connect the two oceans in America
The man, it Is said by those who
knew him, was a perfect storehouse of
knowledge. The children of the vii
lage, among whom was ]. G. Wood,
used to sit about him and hear him
tell of the many wonders Of the coun-
try and to hear his discourse upon
any subject TO which his attention
might be called. Even to these chill

great railroad. and perhaps found more
encouragement among them than he

Famous New York Financial
Institution, Chartered in
1923, Has Shown an AL
most Phenomenal Growth.

The History OF the Chemical Bank"
privately printed for the Chemical Ma
.ional Bank by Doubleday. Page x Co.
shows that the bank. starting ninety
Years ago with capital OF $4,000. now
mas a capital OF 100000. a surplus of
s6,Gt0OO0, undivided profits of more than
81. $4,000. and total assets Of $4,000 900.
The Chemical Bank originally was in
"OrpOrated as The New York Chemical
Manufacturing COMPANY Without Bank
ing Privileges"
The high motives and the safe. mas
terIy methods of the founders and sue
ceeding directors of the institution are
set forth in the volume. Besides being
a striking lesson in sound finance the
book brings forth in a stirring and
Illuminating way a comparison between
New York Of today and of ninety years
ago. As a part of New York and as
one Of the institutions that led in the
development of the city the book reads
like a romance rather than a statement
Of actual business facts.
The history begins in the days when
John Jacob Astor lived in a home on
the site of the old AstOr House, when
1t took A whole day to make a trip to
Philadelphia and when real estate specu-
lators were rashly prophesying that
some day Broadway would be built up
as lar as Tenth Street.
Charter Is Obtained.
on February - lS23. the founders of
tho Chemical Bank obtained a charter
for twenty-One years from the State
Legislature. The charter authorized the
manufacture Of blue VitriQl alum, oil

vision that the company should not en-
gage in banking. as New York City al
ready was overrun with banks. having
twelve. In the next year. however, the
directors obtained an amendment that
permitted banking. The grant of the
franchise, however, aroused bitterness.
as banks in those days were regarded
with suspicion
The capital was increased to $500. 900,
with the provision that at least 800 OO0
must be employed in the manufacture of
chemicals. IT was not until 1882 that
the trustees transferred their main ener-
gles from the manufacture of drugs to
the work of establishing firmly their
banking house. Furthermore. the found

Balthazar p. Melick, a grocer and di-

cashier was William Stebbins, who lived
over the bank. Only two of the officers
received more than $1,000 year. Among
