 Washington, D. C., July 28.-Anlaz- ing and absorbing1y interesting facts concerning the builders of the wonder fuI city of Macnu Picchu, the ancient Incas, are given in a communication to the National Geographic Expedition of 1915, sent out by the Society and Yale University The ruins of this great center Of a vanished civilization were discovered by Professor Bingham and his party after they had been lost for generations. Some of the results of the expedition contained in the di- rectors report to the National Geo graphic Society, are given in bulle- tin issued today from the SocleIy headquarters in Washington:
 The builders of Machu Picchus" writes Professor Bingham, had an elaborate system of highways through out this ittle-knOWn and almost un- explored country which lies between the Urubamba Valley and the Apur1- mac. This region was densely pOpu- lated, and Nachu Picchu was it's cap itaI.

The upper and lower surfaces of these stones / were frequently conveyed or cOncaVed, the convexity of one stone approximating the concaVity of the adjoining stone Inconstructing tehir walls the pure arch was not evolved.

TOWN PARTY PROPOSED

The success of the gridiron ban
quet given by the Credit Mems asso-
citation has aroused renewed interest
in the proposed town party which is
to be held within a short time at
the county court house People whom
We like least are those whom we
know the least of, and, acting upon
that principle, the Chamber Of Com
mcrce desires to use It's offices in
the most effective manner in getting
everybody acquainted with everybody
else. The court house belongs to all
the people, and all will be made to
feel welcome at a town party held
under its roof. i IS proposed to
have good music on each of the
floors, and when that good music
starts on each of the floors, there
is a probability that there will be
some dancing done. There will be
amusements for all, and every effort
will be made to show every attendant
good time.
The suggestion Of town party has
been well taken throughout the city,
and it can be made a big success.

THE BANKERS PROBLEM

The banker complains that there
is a sentiment against his business
and that the law deals unfairly with
him. There is no sentiment in the
banking business but the banker him.
self. by doing those things which
are an outrage against the borrower
has built up sentiment against the
illegitimate man in the business.
In an attempt to find a subterfuge
for penalties against an oyerinter-
est charge the information has
reached US that there are men in
the banking business who charge as
high as 81 a mile to 90 on an inspec'
ton trip to a mans crop to inspect
growing crop and live stock which
have been mortgaged. There are but
few men who do this, but a few acts
of this kind hurt the entire banNing
business and efforts 10 ChocEmole
the practice result in legislation that
really stand in the way Of the banker
who really wants to be Of service
to his community.
The banker himself is responsible
for the sentiment against him. The
Banker association can better handle
that matter than any other power
When the banker who resorts to such
crimes is outlawed by the profession,
when he is denied membership in It's
associations, when he is discr,dited
by his business associates, his own
selr-respect will induce him to de
sist from such outrageous practices
The bankers ought 20 do their own
