WytheviIle. Va, June b.
What might have been serious
accident occurred late this oven
ing at the intersection of the Max
Meadows jackson Ferry and the
old macadam roads, about eight
miles east of WytheviIle. Mr..
M. L. Harrison had taken a few
of his friends on a run to the
country in his machine and they
were returning home when they
met at the intersection of the
roads two boys on wheels. The
boys were on the Max Meadows
Jackson Ferry road, going to
the former place. The first boy
cleared the road. The second
Ole failed to get out OF the way
and was rln into by the machine.
His wheel was broken, his ankle
was badly hurt and he received
other bruises and cuts, none of
which are of d serious nature.
Mr.. Harrison did all he could to
keep from colliding with the boy
and i'll the effort he cut his
machine to the right, ran into
a fence aid demolished several
panels of it and badly damaged
his car. He brought the boy,
his name is Black, on TO
Wytheville, had his injuries at
tended by DR.. John L. Graham
and sent him to Max Meadows
on No. 80 tonight and notified his
people at Grahams Forge to
meet him there. Mr.. Harrison
says that he did not see young
Black until he was right on
him, and Black says that he did
net see the Car either. 1t is said
if the boy had cut to the right
the accident would have been
avoided. Black is about 10
years old, and is said to be in
the employ of Van Doren at
Pulaski. He was OH his way
to Max Meadows to take a train
for Pulaski.

WOUNDED SOLDIERS
A DIFFICULT PROBLEM

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE wounded
soldiers who are convaIescing are a
difficult problem in Berlin. where
there are a score of big military hos
pitfalls. The convalescents wish 10 re-
turn 10 the front as soon as they are
a BILE TO be out Of bed, too soon for
their own good and the physicians and
nurses have hard time keeping them
from becoming fretful.
To meet this eXiCency and 10 give
the convalescing soldier better Condi-
tions for his recovery. there was do

But oklahoma is lighting for a prin-
ciple; the right to fix the maximum
rates for its public service corpora

If it loses rate regulation will he

PROSPERITY IS ABOUT
READY TO RETURN

WASHINGTON, Aug. - That
prosperity in the United States wheth-
er due to orders for munitions Of
war or to the natural improvements
in trade conditions is returning IS in
dicated by the present statistics Of
the national banks of the country ac-
cording to financiers and economists.
As a result of the call for the condi-
ton of the banks as of May /, 1918,
issued by John SHELTON Williams,
comptroller of currency, reports have
come TO the treasury which indicate
that business Is more active than 1t
has been for many months.
The condition of the national banks
is considered a fair index to the gem
eral business conditions throughout
the country. There are 1904 national
banks. having a total capital OF ST.
065,891,977 in the United States. or
course there are many more state and
savings banks and trust companies
than national banks but the national
banks form a compact organization
which acts as barometer for the
business life Of the country
The total resources of these nation
al banks on May ] amounted 10 SILL
42,354.995. This is more money
than the banks have had any time
since the outbreak of the European
war.
The lowest point since the war be-
gan was reached on Dec. 81, 1914,
when total resources were down 20
S11, 6,017. ON March Z. this item
had reached S11.566, 846,004.
The increase of the peoples depOs-
its show that they have more money
with which TO do business than they
have had for some time on May J.,
demand deposits amounted 10 S.
175.140.032 and time deposits 10 ST.
171.222,21T
But probably the most favorable
indication of restored business activ-
ity is 10 be discovered in the growth
( OF the loans and discounts OF the
4 banks. When a bank lends money il
means that the money is 10 be used as
capital, not wealth; therefore. that
/ business activity of some sort will re-
suit from the loan AMI unless the
chance for the borrower 10 make a
/ profit and pay back the loan with in
terest charged when il falls due are
good the bank viii be slow 20 loan the
money. So heavy loans indicate good
! business.
Loans and discounts on Nay ]
amounted 10 43.SS7,951 The
/ largest figure for this department
since the outbreak OF the war. Last
/ December the figures were S6.34T.-
636,5l0. the lowest mark since the
opening of hostilities across the water
These figures show that about S325.-
100000 more of national bank money
/ Is In business use now than last win
ter.
The outlook is held 90 be decidedly
favorable. the only fear Of the cap
tains Of industry being that this pros
perily may be of the mushroom varie-
[ ~. and that IL may turn the other way
at the conclusion OF the war when
/ war orders shall cease 10 stimulate

national law authorities as there are
American alienists. and given con
crete case they can arrive az as many
different conclusions Berhn's legal
authorities would carry more COnvic-
tion II they had a little fOreisn back
ing II happens that the recognized
authorities disagree with the German
view in every other country. except
Austria and Turkey The neutral
nations are a unit in supporting the
American contention that their citi-
zens may travel where their interests
upon the high seas call them"
The crux of the matter is this: We
neutrals maintain that our rights on
the high seas are inalienable, that
peace ar sea is the normal. lawful
state Of affairs. and that the belliger-
ents carry on their warfare there only
by the sufferance OF neutrals Germany
and Great Britain. TO a less decree
maintains that the belligerents have
a right 10 fight all over the seas, under
whatever conditions they see Tit to
prescribe and that neutrals may go
about their business there only by the
sufferance Of the belligerents.
The principle is plain enough. If
two men go cunning for each other in
the city streets. endangering the lives
OF peaceful citizens, we round them up
and clap them into jail-we don't let
them drive the rest Of us from the
lighting in the streets. it's harder for
the decent citizens TO maintain their
rights and carry on their business, but
that fact doesn't make mob law any
more valid.

WHEN THE BOAT SWAPS.

There is no need TO be alarmed
merely because a boat rocks or sways
a craft OF any size may seem very
wabbly and yet be thoroughly sea-
worthy A passenger boat isn't even
in danger. necessarily. when 1T heels
so far over that it is impossible to
stand on the deck without support
The only important consideration is.
whether the boat rights herself quick
ly and easily or whether. after heelins
over. she hangs there and comes back
with difficulty. In the former case
she is properly built. and in no danger
OF turning TURTLE in the latter she
is tQp-heavy and may possibly suffer
the fate OF the Eastland.
Marine architects make a distinction
between "steadiness" and stability
a vessel may be unsteady-that is
easily rocked by wave or wind-and
yet stable-that is. i'm little or no dam
ger OF losing her equilibrium. In fact
the greater the stability, the more the
vessel is subject TO contiI uous. though
slight. pitching and rolling. An ord
mary hght-buo or bell-huoy is
good example.
The matter depends primarily on
how far the cenSer of gravity is below
the water line. The lower it is. the
greater the stability. II is measured,
in technical language by the meta
centric height" ON many warships.
this height. or margin OF stability. is
four feet ON the Eastland. presum-
ably. It was less than that, and the adj
ditional top-heaviness caused by a
great load of passengers on the upper
deck reduced il TO nothing or less than
nothing
Accounts Of the Eastland's sinking
laid stress on the fact that she heeled
over. HUNK unsteadny. and then. in

, COMMISSION PLAN" FAILURE.

The commission form Of government
gets a black eye in Nashville, where
the system has broken down and the
bankrupt city has gone into the hands
of a receiver.
1t would be interesting 10 know pre-
cisely how much Of the disaster is due
10 the commission idea, how much TO
the individual commissioners and how
much to the citizens in general. The
presumption is that the chief trouble
will be found with Nashville's citizen
ship-with it's peoples civic spirit
their interest in municipal affairs and
their conscientious attention to them.
It's a truism that an intelligent
alert body of citizens can make al
most any system of government work.
while the best system ever devised Is
bound 10 fail If the people merely turn
over their public business to 1t and
then ignore it. No plan and no set of
officials will work automatically
grinding out good government
Good government is the product OF
everlasting public sOlicitude.
