savings institutions and 294 trust COM
panies, or a total of 4S4, an increase of
312 since 1892. Twenty-Five years ago
the aggregate assets of the financial
institutions under State supervision
was $310,0 600; to-day the aggregate
ssets are $1,2S6, 900, 900. These in
situations are examined and the assets
carefully scrutinized by agents of the
department and these examinations
and this scrutiny are as thorough as
that of the federal government, and in
some respects more rigid.
THE authority given the depart
ment to examine private banks under
certain conditions mas been productive
of much good, particularly among the
foreign houses engaged in the receiv-
ing and transmitting of money for
emigrants. The work of the depart
ment would be decidedly more effect
i've for the protection of depositors
and stockholders were the commits
sioner empowered by law to liquidate
the business of institutions which have
become insolvent, as does the federal
government, rather than through re-
ceiverships, always inexpeditious and
expensive. / fully believe, however,
the time will come when thai much
needed legislation will be placed upon
Il statute books.
The States Highways
Perhaps the enormity of the colos-
sal task which o%onfronts the Commits
sioner of Highways and his depart
ment is least understood and least
appreciated by the people of our State.
1t was but a short time ago when, by
legislative enactment, more than 5000
miles of our highways were turned
over for the construction and future
maintenance by the State. Imagine
an undertaking which would mean the
building of a highway from Portland,
Maine, to Portland, Oregon: another
one from New York to San Francisco.
and still a third from Boston along our
eastern coast line to the gulf, and you
have an idea of the tremendous task
confronting our Highway Commits
sioner and his department.
Last year., with funds available for
maintenance, the roads of the State
in better condition thar ever be-
fore in the more than a century and
a quarter of the States existence. To.
day. through no fault of his, the High
way Commissioner finds himself with
funds provided to meet the cost of
maintaining the highways of the State.
Nor is it the fault of your members of
the Legislature, since it was their clea,
intent that all moneys received by the
State from automobile licenses issued
be available for the betterment
of our roads. Receipts from this
aggregate a sufficient amount

ANcIENTs KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants Of Mex
leo Used Process In the Manu-
faeture Of Pottery.

The discovery by Henry G. Mercer
OF Daylestown, Pa. that the ancient
inhabitants OF Mexico used a glazing
process IN the manufacture OF their
pottery has revolutionized the views
OF ceramic experts at the University
OF Pennsylvania, and may lead. says
American Art News, to the discovery
OF beds OF clay suitable for use today.
Mr. Mercer. who IL an expert on TIL
ing. and former curator OF the Uni
versity museum during a recent study
OF Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the vari-
ance In workmanship in certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds OF clay, and was surprised to
find that a distinct glaze was still ap.
parent.
The ancient Egyptians, says Mr.
Mercer. did not glaze their works, the
Chinese adopted this precaution at a
later date to make their vessels i'm.
pervious to water. Civilization had
been established by this time, how
ever. and the use OF the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.

manufacturers was evidenced in CO.
lumbus, o., recently when 26 Of the

local and state officials of the w. G..

of temperance literature in their shops

SITUATION IN KANSAS.

SiI IORTION IN KANSAS.
A fine, ruddy-faced, outstanding.
deep-chested Kansas farmer. who ap-
peared to be of Teutonic descent and
consequently could hardly have in
herited a bigoted view OF the whisky
question, put II this way:
Yes; a man can get whisky and
get drunk in Kansas II he's bound to.
II may be true that some men who are
bound TO will drink more out of a bot
tie than they would over bar. But.
you see, when a man reaches the stage
where he is bound to have whisky or
bust you can't do much for him any
way. And II you ask that man he'll
probably tell you that he got his
whisky habit from visiting saloons for
sociability. It's the boys we are think.
ing Of. We believe a normal boy isn't
very apt to get a whisky habit out OF
bootlegger's bottle. Nine times out
of ten. II he gets the habit at all II
will be by dropping into saloon with
his friends for a social glass. So far
as the hardened soak is concerned,
maybe our law Is failure; but the
hardened soak is a failure, too. We
don't want to bring up a fresh crop.

"A Sioux Indian, according to this
story, went to a storekeeper OF his
reservation and said he would like to
buy a gun.
"'Oh, but.' said the storekeeper,
1ocularly. I don't like to sell you a
gun-you might kill soldier with 1t.

FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American Antl-Tuberculosls Society
Has Been Active In Movement for
Health Preservation.

tuberculosis is one OF the most Sc
rious public health problems of the
Orient. Active organizations TO fight
this disease have been formed In
Japan, the Philippines, India and Aus
tralia. A movement is on foot for a
national organization In China and In
a number OF cities local work has been
started. While no accurate figures
are available, those who are in po.
sition to know claim that consumption
takes annually from 100000 to l,000..
lives in China alone. In India the
death rate is fully as high, and on ac.
count of caste distinctions and native
superstitions. the problem OF preven-
tion and treatment is peculiarly difi-
cult. The Japanese government has
taken a hand officially In the control
of tuberculosis, and is cooperating
with two well-organized private asso-
Citations. The death rate. while very
high. is lower than In China and In
dia Under the direction OF the United
States public health service move
ment for the prevention OF tuberculo.
sis In the Philippines has also been
organized.
