BANKS PATRIOTIC SERVICE

Outside of financial circles few persons in this country
realize that the banks have performed a great public service
within the last two months i'll preparing for the issue of the
Liberty Loan and the flotation of the temporary loan certifi-
Gates issued by the United States treasury. If the banks had
not paved the way, the people would not have been in a posi-
ton to subscribe so largely and so freely.
Our leading banks knew that they would have to meet IN
enormous direct and ildirect demand of the federal govern
ment and that at the same time they would have to suppl.
credit and cash for the transaction of the ordinary commerce
of the country and the financing of ever-increasng industrial
operations. Close reading of the last report made by the ma
tional banks in response to the call from the controller of tn
currency will disclose the extent to which some of the active
banks trenched upon their reserve for the purpose of roundin;
what the New York bankers call the July corner"
Three of the strongest banks in New York City set an ex-
ample for the rest by redscounting enormous quantities of
commercial paper with the Federal Reserve bank in the city
and they also secured the issue of a large amount of federal
bank currency to meet the requirements of the public. There
Was no Reorganization in banking circles. Under good leader
ship and with the guidance of the federal reserve board and
officials of the various federal reserve banks, the banks of this
country put their shoulders to the wheel and financed the gov.
ernment's requirements while at the same time meeting all the
demands of the business community.
For a few days Wall street did not fare so well. Paper is
sued on stock exchange collateral may be the best in the
world, but it is not eligible for rediscount in the Federal Re
serve banks. Stock exchange loans averaged a rate of six per
cent for several days, while eligible commercial paper could be
rediscounted at the Federal Reserve bank at three and a quar-
ter per cent. That is the way in which our banks served the
country by discOuraging speculation on the New York stock
exchange at a time when The government needed money and
the credit of the United States depended upon the success of
the Liberty Loan.
So successful has been the administration of the federal
reserve system by the federal reserve board that congress
seems prepared to do anything that the board recommends and
vii make no mistake in so doing as long as the members of
the board are men of such caliber as those who now hold Of
fice-Exchange.

that is regarded as promising and
the greater part of which has not

in this ground, but occasional high

that other deposits of commercial

RED HILL CUTS
ORE IN RAISES
FLORENCE VEIN Is BEING EN-
PLORED ON 5OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Seams of good ore have been *
posed in raises driven from the
main drift on the 5OO-foot level of
the Red Hill Florence property and
the results of work thus far per-
formed by the company are regard
ed as altogether satisfactory and
encouraging. Three raises are be-
ing driven from this level. two of
them near the hanging wall and
one near the center of the vein,
which is the southern extension
of the main Florence vein.
In extending this drift along the
course of the vein three distinct
faults have been found. but the
displacement is negligible in extent
and the drift has continued through
the faulted zones, following the
vein without difficulty. AS many
of the richest orebodies of the
Goldfield district have been found
in close proximity to faults, if not
closely related to them, the pre-
sence of these breaks in the vein
is regarded as rather a favorable
indication.
1t is also pointed out that most
of the rich ore found in the ad-
joining Florence mine has come
from above the 5OO-foot level and
although the Red Hill Florence
shaft is 500 feet in depth, it has
been decided to push development
work first above that level.

ALCOHOL INDISPENSABLE

Alcohol is one of the most important materials used III the
arts and sciences. In many lines of manufactures it is absO-
lutely indispensable. Doctors disagree violently about its
value as a medicine, or as a stimulant in the practice of medi
cine. But it is indispensable in the drug trade, because it is
the only solvent that will preserve many indispensable drugs
without changing their chemical properties and their value as
medicine. ChlOrOfOrm, ether and other drugs OF great value
are made of alcohol.
Without alcohol felt and silk hats could not be made ana
terials and other products in common use is a large one. Mod
en civilization depends upon alcohol for their production in
some way or other.
IF gasoline becomes TOO high in price. users of automobiles
and motor trucks may have to fall back on alcohol, which l.
an efficient, but at present, a too costly substitute. In Franc
at this time, large quantities of alcohol are used in ordinary
Illuminating lamps fitted with incandescent mantles, because
the price of coal and petroleum products is so high that the
government is limiting the manufacture and use of gas in
Paris and other large cities.
Alcohol can be made from any vegetable matter containing
Processes have been developed by which cellulose can be con
verified into alcohol and alcohol can be derived also from acct
ylene gas in a comparatively simple manner.
Instead of talking about destroying distilleries we shoGld
be considering plans for making them more valuable and more
useful to mankind. The day may come when the petroleum
wells of the world will be exhausted as the best of them al
ready have been pumped out in some parts OF pennsylvania.
Even the reserves of coal which nature has stored up for us
will no. last forever, but as long as The sun shines and the rain
falls the means of producing large quantities of alcohol will
not diminish. In some parts of the tropics where vegetation is
very luxuriant vegetable matter that can be converted readily
into alcohol can be obtained in enormous quantities.
The world may yet arrive at an age OF alcohol when Its IN
habitants have learned how to produce and use 1t without
abusing it. The commercial production of alcohol is an in
dustry which should be encouraged while indulgence in it as a
beverage should be discouraged--New York Commercial.

Patent Telephone Device.

A patent has just been granted for
a remarkable device in the telephone
field and is on exhibition at the Office
of the Standard Telephone Repair
Company at 100 North Fifth avenue
This little attachment which can be
placed on any magnetic telephone is
especially intended for use on rural
party lines where perhaps a dozen
telephones are used on a single cir
cult and are intended to give each
party absolutely private service. The
party line telephone has always been
very unsatisfactory for the simple
reason that too many people are in
clined to take down the receiver and
listen to the conversation of others.
This little attachment is marvel
of simplicity and yet accomplishes
most startling results. II not only
gives private service but enables a
number of conversations to be carried
on simultaneously on the same wire.
so simple is the device that any tele-
phone man can quickly attach II with
out even removing the telephone from
the wall
Mr.. J. Skinderviken, the inventor
and patentee of this wonderful little
piece of mechanism, is also the in.
ventor of an electric automatic train
stop system which electrical engin.
GERS say Is marvel.
Mr.. Skinderviken Is president and
general manager of the Standard Tele.
phone Repair Company. He is one of
the pioneers in the telephone field and
has been with government and Inde
pendent telephone companies for over
quarter of century. Most of his
time has been spent in Norway, his
native country. He Is. however, a rec
ognized expert in the telephone field
In all its various branches in this
country and Canada.

KONA VOYAGE IS
GREATLY ENJOYED
Fate is Kind to congressman
and Smooth Seas Prevail
!. on Run to KaiaEua

The power that controls the action
of the sea waves was kind to the
congressional party which went to
Kona by the Inter-lsland steamer
Kilauea on Saturday night, state the
ships officers. An extraordinarily
smooth voyage was enjoyed and the
congressman are. declared to have
been delighted with the entire voy-
age.
Many expressions of wonder were
heard from them at the excellence of
food served on the Inter-Island ship.
They also expressed surprise that on
a steamer the size of the Kilauea so
much comfort could be enjoyed.
The Kilauea left Honolulu Satur-
day evening at 5 o'clock on the spec
iaI voyage. The ship arrived in Kai-
lua about o'clock the next morning.

ed. the Kilauea went to Mahukona

of Captain Samuel Parker Woods

rived back in Honolulu this morning

more was made off Lahaina. There
were ia guardsmen in the Kohala

mand of the Kilauea on the special
voyage and James Friel, chief landing
