Banks in Good Condition.

The banks of Arkansas have beer
steadily increasing in stability and as
a whole are now in a very healthy con-
dition. according TO figures made pub
lie Thursday by Bank Commissioner
John VI. Davis, who has just completed
a recapitulation OF the bank statements
filed in response to the departments
call at the close OF business June 80.
The total reserve shown in the
June statements" Commissioner Davis
said, is far in excess of the laws
requirements and shows a very healthy
condition"
The statements show total resources
of SEA. 80 900, distributed among five
private banks. A. trust companies and
1913 state banks.
The aggregate capitalization of all
the banks under the Banking Depart
ment is St2,S65. S27.50. with a surplus OF
50 .746.S6fo6. and undivided profits to-
tali.g s1~.796.526.76.
The total deposits June 30 OF this
year were s4l.l33.1 1903.
The amount OF gold carried by the
banks increased from SECS. $3.50 on
March 1, when the first call was made.
to 275.63&.30 on June 80.
a most significant item. showing the
effect OF a careful oversight by the
Bank Commissioner. is that the ag-
gregate overdrafts reported March T.,
were $2.159.62S.3S. while on June 30
this had been reduced to t. practi-
cally negligible amount OF s626.466.25.
The elimination OF the overdrafts is
one OF the things which the commits
sioner is insisting upon.

In 1t is a new departure in the way
Of making money, but that is what is
being done by Frank Fish.
For about fifteen years Fish has
been working the failing at the old
Gregory mine, near Wickes. The
property is owned by the Helena and
Livingston company. Recently big
chunk of plaster fell from the cell
Ing Of one Of the houses. Fish found
1t was very heavy, and he had 1t as
sayed. The returns were satisfactory,
and then he obtained from the COM
pany q ase, with the right to smelt
all of the plaster in all of the houses
In the town. AS the town has long
since been abandoned and the houses
we're going to decay the leases did not
disturb any one.
Fish has already shipped eight tons
Of the plaster to the East Helena

be satisfactory to him. The richness
of the plaster is not surprising.
When Gregory was on the map and

Paris for inspiration. resulting in
Paris gowns for Holland rather than
In Holland gowns. Likewise, the
Italian Queen tried to stimulate the
Italian dressmakers by wearing only
gowns made in her own country, but
for all that they were distinctly Par
isian in cut and style.
The present war has given the de-
signing and making of gowns here
in the United States a new impetus,
and one of the leading New York
stores recently advertised an exhibit
ton of suits and gowns made and
designed in their own American
workrooms. These costumes were
shown on trained mannilins and in
most artistic surroundings. The re-
suit was wonderfully successful. al
though they were, in truth, so essen
TALLY under the Partisan influence
that one could hardly call them truly
American made. No doubt in the
course of a number of such endeay-
ors-while Paris is shut off by a wall
of Wharf.-The home influence will be
moro apparent.
The gown which seemed to me
most American was an evening gown
of yellow broacade, the color of a
California poppy. A wide gridle of
pink velvet girdled the waist. The
pink was of the color of the poppy
petals at their base.
A charming dancing frock for the
young girl, with waistline so short
that it just escaped being pure EN-
pire, was made of white chiffon.
Triple nounces bound with satin
formed the skirt. The satin binding
causing each founce to stand out.
The waist was made with rounded
low neck, which came out we'll to-
ward the shoulders. and was finished
with a heading of it's own. A three
inch frill fell from just below the
heading. The sleeves were a mere
frill of chiffon, bound on the edge.
Wound gracefully around the bodice
just below the ruffle, not combining
the fulness, was velvet ribbon of
grayish blue. It crossed in the back
and was caught together in the
front. Strands Of pink climbing roses
were becomingly placed over one
shoulder.
The street and afternoon costumes
were full short. perhaps ankle length
and even shoe-top length. In all were
shown the new silhouette which has
replaced the fashionable bouffant ef-
feet 80 popular last year. This SILL
