Created by Conditions

The loan shark exists because he has been created by conditions which are perpetually recurring in the lives of all who are dependent upon daily wage for daily bread Sickness and death-mar- riage and birth-the tragedies and joys of existence-the foreseen and the un- foreseen- are making ceaseless de- mands upon the head of the family for money which must, in most cases, be had immediately. The emergency is usually so pressing that he is willing to make any sacrifice to get relief. The loan shark is easy to find, there is no trouble in getting the money from him nothing like the bother of going to the bank-it all seems ritliculously simple and straight. Once in his grip, however, his victim is never released until the "uttermost farthing has been paid" In thousands of instances, in- ability to meet the final demands, when the last morsel of salary has disappear ed in the maw of the shark, has driven the distracted debtor to suicide, aband- onment of home or into crime.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05

Statistics show that an astounding pro- portion of the laboring and salaried population of almost every city in the United States is in the grip of this in- satiable monster, and that the blight of his cruel shadow is reflected upon thou sands and thousands of homes through out this land. He is more numerous and most aggressive in industrial cities
 Suicide-loss of employment -sor- row and woe-follow in his wake. The shriek of the agonized victim and the crimson spot upon the water are reali- ties in the record of the loan shark, though they may be fiction when im- puted to his comrade of the seas.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05
The One Way Out

The fact is that this great and dis tressing problem is essentially busi- ness problem and can be solved in no other way than by the use of business methods. You cannot legislate the shark out of existence. Public opinion, no matter how powerful, only drives him under cover. Displace the shark with something better, and you have the answer. Give wage-workers and sal ary-earners the opportunity to borrow money at reasonable rate of interest instead of leaving them no alternative but to pay anywhere from 100 to 500 per cent, and you have broken the spell of the shark.
 Give the borrower also a reasonable time in which to repay the loan and ar range payments with due consideration for his income and proper living ex- penses, but make him know that he must meet these payments as promptly as he does his rent. Follow the banking practice and require him to provide en- dorsers- s-this is kindness to him as well as protection to the lender as it ex- ercises wholesome restraint upon the disposition to borrow for other than real needs. And finally, make him save definite amount while he is pay ing off the loan. These requirements may seem drastic and harsh, but they are really wise and merciful. For, when the debt has been cancelled you have MANA man not only free from debt, but inspired by vital incentive to con- tinue to work and save-an asset of the community in which he lives.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05
Curses the Community

These and host of other evils are in- flicted by the loan shark upon those with whom he deals, and if his sinister influence ended there, the record would be appalling enough in all conscience. But there it does not stop-the entire community feels the virus, just as the whole body is sickened by an ulcer. In subsequent articles we shall show some of the ways in which the community as a whole, and the innocent bystander" also, are affected adversely by the ex- istence and operations of the loan shark.
 For many years earnest endeavors have been made to extirpate, or at least minimize this gigantic evil, but results have not been encouraging until re- gently The law offers no relief for the victims of the shark because he is able to hire high-priced lawyers to find loop holes for him, while they have no money and no heart with which to go to court.
 The efforts of charitable organiza- tions and individuals to rescue victims of the shark have also proved unavail- ing in most cases, because charity in it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05

self seldom awakens the latent spark of manhood in the heart of the down and out, and the temporary relief given to the debt-slave merely fattens him for the shark when necessity again turns him that way.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05

For centuries-one might almost say say since the dawn of creation-the shark has been to mankind the symbol of greed and cruelty. He is friendless. The sailor hates him above everything on land or sea, and favorite practice for many years in the days of the old sailing ship, and indulged in to some ex- tent even now, was to fasten a captive shark to log or piece of heavy timber. This prevented the fish from diving, and he roasted to death on the breast of the pitileSS sea.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05
Literature of the Shark

Literature abOundS with haraSSlng stories of the attacks of sharks upon man, woman and child. The swimmer, moving with leisurely strokes, uncon- scious of the sinister dorsal fin moving toward him; a flash of white under the surface as the shark turns to strike; a shriek of agony and red blush on the face of the sea-this is the typical scenario of many tragedies and the bare outlines make us shudder The only instance in literature in which the shark figures as of service is "Port Royal Tom," described in one of Cap tain Maryatt's novels of naval life in the days of Nelson as infesting Port Royal, harbor in the West Indies, and draw ing subsidy in the shape of a daily ration of meat tossed to him from the men-of-war to keep him cruising near abouts and thereby prevent would-be deserters from plunging into the water and swimming ashore
 In view of the general and instinctive hatred which mankind has for the shark, it is rather surprising to note that many articles have been written denying that the shark feeds upon luIIldIl DelIlSS dIlu cIldllonglng the gen. uineness of every incident of this kind which has been reported. Sailors say this stuff is written by land lubbers in the same class with the farmer, who, when the giraffe was described to him, promptly replied "There ain't no such animal" The subject may be dismissed by stating that the weight of evidence proves the shark deserves all the oppro- brium which has been heaped upon him, and that his apologists will continue to be in very small minority.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05
The Sharks Destroyer

That is what the Trustees System is doing for Birmingham. It is taking men from the tolls of usury and setting them on their feet, with clean, straight path ahead. This system operated ex- clusively by the Trustees Loan & Guar anty Company, has been in use | bout a year-it is no longer an experiment but an unqualified success. We have relieved much distress, but while doing this we have also made money for our selves, a fact which we cheerfully acknowledge because we wish it to be clearly understood that the Trustees System is business system and the Trustees Loan & Guaranty Company is a business company. Our usefulness to Birmingham has just begun. The field before us is vast and the potentialities of the Trustee System are great, as we shall show you in future articles. We are confident you will be interested indeed, you cannot fail to be. Watch for our printed messages.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-12-05
The Land Species

There is another species of shark, however, whose abode is on the land and not in the water, and about whose capacity for working i'll to the human race there is no controversy. We refer to that aggravated type of the usurer, whose prey is wage-earners and sal aried people and who is known and exc crated everywhere as the loan shark. His habitat is the United States of America and he is seldom found in Continental Europe, where the system of industrial banking effectively checks his activity.

Preventing Soil Erosion.


Soil erosion is doing business dam
age constantly, and few people know
how to apply preventive measures. In
the annual report of the bureau OF
soils Of the department of agriculture
a simple method OF handling one class
Of erosions Is described. This is the
case where the soil is being washed
away in gullies, and the remedy is to
build a dam across the incipient gull
ly, through which a sewer pipe is
passed, connecting with an upright
pipe situated at the upper side of the
dam. The hollow formed by the dam
will fill with water in flood conditions
until the top of the upright pipe is
reached, when the excess of water runs
off quietly into the next field or into
another impounding space below. The
cutting current of the draining water
is stopped and the sediment carried
by it settles above the dam, thus tend.
ing to repair the damage previously
done. A suitable tile drain located
under the dam will dispose of the wa
ter impounded below the opening of
the upright pipe.

MAY USE DISCRETION
ON FLEEING MEXICO
ENJOYS at Capital Receive lnstruc-
tons From PoWers-NeW Decree
Adds to Tangle.

Washington, Feb. II. - Practically
all the foreign diplomatic representa-
tives in Mexico City have been in
structed by their governments to use
their own discretion about leaving the
capital, according to an announcement
by Secretary Bryan.
Some of the embassies here under
stand that the diplomats in Mexico
City have an agreement that if they
leave Mexico City they will leave the
counl~y entirely.
The situation has been further com
plicated by the decree of General Car
rama that none of his subordinate
military chiefs shall discuss diplo'
matte questions.
This deprives the diplomatic corps
at Mexico City of the privilege of deal
ing with General Obregon or the de
facto authorities in Mexico City.
The only alternative held out to
them for discussing diplomatic mat
tiers with the Carranza government is
visit to Vera Cruz, which they are
unwilling to make, lest it be construed
as formal recognition
San Antonio Tex, Feb. ia mes
sage from Saltillo, seemingly con
frmed by another message to the Car
rama agency here, says Satillo has
been taken by General Eulalio Cutter
rez from the Villa forces.
