STATE BANKING COMMISSIONER
MAKE ANNUAL REPORT.

George G. Speer. State Banking
Commissioner, has filed his annual
report with Governor Stanley. The
report shows that there are 445
State banks and trust companies do
ing business in this State. The De-
partment of Banking made S96 ex-
aminations during the year. Four
consultations have been erected
and ten new banking institutions
organized since the last report.
Four banks went into voluntary
liquidation during the year.
Eighty-seven per cent of the state
banks and sixty per cent of national
banks have agreed upon uniform
maximum rate of three per cent on
time deposits. An effort will be made
to amend the banking laws looking
to this end.
Commissioner Speer believes that
the banking department should have
more authority in issuing charters
and is also of the opinion that be-
fore an officer ola banking institu
ton can borrow money from the
bank that the loan should be approx
ed by majority of the board of di'
rectors.

SOME OLD HEALTH PALACES
Surgeon Blames Women, Especially
Mothers, for Keeping Infectious
Diseases Going the Rounds.

IF L were asked who keep infec-

be most emphatically women in gen.
cral, but chiefly the mothers" This
hard saying came from a noted Eng
liSh surgeon who was addressing a
gathering of women. The new idea of
public health was his topic. Continu.
ing, he said:
"One is Mortified to observe the pro.
found ignorance that prevails even
among clever and cultivated people as
regards the true nature and treatment
of disease. For instance, you will find
numerous persons Of your acquaint,
anCe who still believe that rubbing the
eyelids with a gold wedding ring will
cure stye, and that piercing the ears
strengthens the vision; that lunatics
are affected by the phases of the
moon; that consumption is hereditary
that the application of red flannel (il

Sorrow and Sympathy.

Adam Bede had-not outlived his sor

forbid! 1t would be a poor result of
all our anguish and our wrestling if
we won nothing but our old selves at
the end of tiff we could return to the
same blind loves, the same half-confi-
dent blame, the same light thoughts of
human suffering, the same frivolous
gossip over blighted human lives, the
same feeble sense of that unknown to-
ward which we have sent forth ire
preSSible cries in our loneliness. Let
us rather be thankful that our sorrow
lives in us as an indestructible force,
only changing its form, as forces do

Christmas most truly belongs to
the children. 1t celebrates the event
of the Christ child to whom the wise
men brought gifts, and the shepherds
came and worshipped. Would that
every child in this land of abund-
ance had received that little portion
to fill the hearts with joy and chase
the sobs and tears away. 1t takes
so little to open the founts of joy It
would seem so small a portion might
fall to the lot of all the children of
American homes; but alas, some were
burdened with gifts till they wearied
in counting them and others-what
a disappointing Christmas it must
have been! Cannot we be thought
full one of another and share our
blessings with those less favored and
make our Christmas more truly hap
py for ourselves and merry for many
others?

ANCIENT VESSELS OF JAPAN
Earliest Known Specimen Of Japanese
Craft Called "Morota-Bune" or
"Many-Oared Ship of Humane"

A historical study of ancient ships
used by seafaring people such as
were the prehistoric jewellers along the
shores of what is now the sea of Japan
has been made by Shinji Nishimura of
the Society Of Naval Architecture and
the Tokyo AnthrOpological society,
East and West News states. He has
devoted many years to the work, and
although the printed volume is small,
it is profoundly exhaustive. He starts
with the earliest known specimen OF
Japanese called the "MOrOta-Bune" or
"Many-Oared Ship of Humane" re-
mains of which were dug up at an old
village of that name to the south Of
Lake Naku-no- Uni in Idzumo province
1t was "a place to which the IdzumO
people had migrated from their native
land. Where was that native landT'
Mr.. Nishimura traces direct descent
from the "ManyOared Ship of XII
manO' and the triangular craft Of
Korea, still used at Songyn. He says !:
sit may be asserted that the MOrota-
Bune in 1dZumO and the triangular
craft in Korea have diverged from the
same stock, viz, the fishing boat of the
Ainu. In my opinion, the MOrata-B une
the fishing boat of the Ainu, and the
triangular craft in Korea resemble one
another in form; but the boat Of the
Ainu belongs to the northern group,
while the rest belong to the western
group. The triangular craft of the 10
reanS was. modelled after the fashion Of
the ancient Manchurian type, while
the MOrOtaBune was fashioned after
the Korean type. Even supposing they
came from the same source, that source
is prehistoric; it must belong to a time
when the ancestors of the Ainu were
related with those of the Koreans, be-
fore they came to Japan, from some
place situated at the eastern extremity
OF Asia; let us say, for example, in a
botanic region like the Amur. If this
be so, the time antedates the history
of the shipbuilding of our country"

The term Stacker" is an appro-
brious one in that it includes in its
berenal application those who may
have just reasons for avoiding mill
tary service, as we'll as those who
have no worthy cause and whose
only genuine reason is cowardice or
a warped idealism.
- Circumstances, financial or other
wise, have held hundreds of young
men back from enlistment up till
now, but changing with changing
conditions. many men find them
selves in a position to enlist when
they were not able 20 90 so before.
Such men are at a loss to select a
service.
Those whom chance has made free
for action at this time may consider
themselves fortunate, for a few days
ago one of the most popular ser
vices in the country announced that
il was ready for 1000 more re-
cruits.
That service is the Naval Reserve
Force of the Second Naval District
located at Newport, X. 1. The per-
sonal standard of the men in this
branch has been so high that it
might be said to be one of the rare
organizations in which enlisted men,
of sufficient force, education, and in
telligence to deserve recognition by
q commission, find themselves
among men similarly placed and
similarly denied a commission by
lack of preparation.
The truth of that statement is at
60
constantly being selected for enslgns'
examinations, and assigned later to
small boat or general service with
an independent command.
Furthermore advancement in rat
ing is constantly open, and men
with any skill in carpenter, mechan-
ical. electrical, stenographic, and an
infinite number of other types or
work. will find themselves rated in
some artificer branch. Everyone
with a special talent, from mechan /
ical draughsmen to cooks, from muSl-
clans to boiler makers will find here
that their special talent is OF direct
military and pay value in the Re
serves.
But men whose aim IS to be sea-
men and to secure ratings later as
boatswains and quartermasterS are
equally desired. There is chance
for everyone.
Men may apply direct at the cen
trail office in the War College, New
port, R. l., or they may enroll Tor
the Second District at the Naval Re-
cruiting Station in the Brooklyn
Navy Yard. or in Newark, n. j.,
Pittsburg, Pa, Minneapolis, Mlnn.'
and st. Louis, Mo.
Information regarding the Re
serve Force may also be had by ad-
dressing the Enrolling Omcer al
Newport.
1t is expected that those men VINO
now find themselves free to take up
arms for their country will I'LL UP
the required quota rapidly.
Those who delay will probably
find themselves out of an opportunity
that is not likely to occur twice.
