The Cumberland Shipbuilding Co.
has found it impractical to launch
their newest boats at this time as
had been planned because OF the in
ability to get the ship through the
Portland bridge to the Ligonia plant
where much of the work on the ship
will have to be done after it takes the
water. 1t cannot be definitely stated
Just when the draw will be opened
but the launching will not take place
until after the channel through the
bridge is opened

RESERVE BANKS HAVE
MADE LARGE PROFITS
BY L A. FLEMING.

The twelve regional banks Of the fed
eral reserve system. in 1918. have enjoy
ed their most prosperous year. The de-
mand for rediscounts has been per-
sistent, the fiotation OF billions Of lib
erty bonds has given the banks fur
ther opportunity to add honest profit,
while investments have been very
profitable.
Without the machinery OF the re-
serve banks it would have been very
serious proposition to have floated the
third and fourth liberty loans. but
with them the banks have readily
taken care of installment payments
running into billions. War obliga-
tions of $1,000, 100000 are now dis
counted by reserve banks, showing a
large source Of revenue.
Another source has been found in
the rediscount of Treasury certif-
Gates Of Indebtedness, which banks
are now expected to take OF sell to
the extent Of 2k per cent of their re:
sources monthly.
Some bankers were rather fearful,
when the system was inaugurated,
that these banks would not be able to
pay the proposed per cent on stock
which is all subscribed for by mem
Der banks, but the slate is clean and
| s per cent dividends paid to stock
holders up to the last semi-annual
payment and January 1 will probably
see the record again clear.
1t is not generally known, but the
federal reserve system paid a fran
| chise tax to the government of ST.
134.234 in 1917. and carried little
larger amount to profit and loss ac-
count
The law provides that banks may
! accumulate surplus Of 40 per cent
after which the profits shall go to the
government. Net earnings for 1917
| IifaI Of the twelve banls-that is, $685.
26O,o00.
A measure is now before Congress
providing that the banks shall estab-
lish surplus equal to capital before
dividing profits with the government.

Making a Friend of the Shark.
rom the Baltimore American

American.
The shark seems to be coming into
it's own at last Having always been
regarded as the principal aquatic
enemy OF man. 1t is now beginning to
be looked upon as a friend. Leaving
meat (as advertised by the govern
ment fisheries bureau). it has re-
Gently developed a special war value
through the utilization of it's hide for
the making of sword grips. Tens of
thousands of sword handles supplied
for the present conflict will be covered
with leather derived from Florida
sharks. For this purpose it is par
ticularly well adapted. inasmuch as
it is not only very durable and water
proof. but with a hard roughness, be-
ing covered with small toothlike pro-
cesses. curiously enough, are similar
in structure to the teeth Of mann
mails, having an inner portion Of den-
tine covered with an outer layer of
enamel. Shark leather-already used
for jewel boxes. card cases and vari-
long to be much more widely en-
ployed We may soon see shark skin
shoes on the market and command
ing . high price by reason of their
waterproof quality and durability
The fisheries bureau hopes to render
shark called "dogfish" as material for
the uppers of women's boots. The
whale shark" yields as much as 125
gallons Of excellent cod liver OIL"
quite equal to the product of the cod
fish. 1t Is with the possible excep-
of all fishes. and entirely harmless.
though it sometimes amuses itself by
rubbing against a passing boat and
upsetting the occupants into the sea.
