RETURNS FROM EAST
 AND MEET OF STATE
 BANK SUPERVISORS

State Auditor Boyce has just re- turned from an extended trip in the east, the main purpose of which was 10 attend the eighteenth annual con vention of the National Association of Supervisors of State Banks, held at Cleveland June 9. 10 and II. Repre- sentatiyes of more than 25 states were present out of a membership of some 35 states that have bank comptrollers, commissioners or some official en- trusted with the supervision of state banks
 Numerous papers and discussions were delivered on such subjects as Should Superintendents of Banks Have the Authority to Prescribe the Manner and Form of Keeping Bank Records so as to Have Them Uni form ?n-in the discussion of which subject MT. Boyce took part and Some of the Chief Causes of Embez- element and Certain Remedies Which Should be Applied" and "The Proposed Clearing House for Information on Se- curities.' If the measures advocated n the last mentioned paper by Hon. Harvyn Scudder of New York. were put into effect, so that all bankers would have a file of information on all so-called securities offered to the public, there would be some hard sledding for the fellows with wildcat stock. Mir. Boyce observed.
 MT. Boyce stopped over in Chicago enroute and after the convention went on to New York and Washington. Ir New York he inspected some of the biggest banks in the world, studied the methods used, and conferred witt Clarence Hodson, secretary of the le- gal reform bureau, on the operation of the new loan shark law recently enacted in this state, which is prac- ucally the same law prepared by this organization and made into law in g large number of states.
 In Washington, MT. Boyce called or the comptroller of the currency, JohT $. Williams, to discuss the subject oi better relations between his depart ment, the heads of state banking de- partments and the federal reserve hoard

WOODEN SHIPS

David Morton in the Bookman) They are remembering forests where
 they grew: The midnight quiet and the giant
 dance; And all the singing summers that they
 knew Are haunting still their altered cir
 sumstance. Leaves they have lost. and robins in
 the nest. Tug of the friendly earth denied to
 ships, These, and the rooted certainties, and
 rest To gain a watery girdle at the hips. Only the wind that follows ever aft, They greet not as a stranger on their
 ways; But this old friend, with whom they
 drank and laughed, Sits in the stern and talks of other

THAWING OUT GRAVELS
 BY USE OF COLD WATER

of the water before it is lowered to an inefficient temperature. What is the relation of rate of thawing to charac- ter of ground and depth of gravel? From the tests made with cold water near Nome, as described above, clay would seem to require special consid- eration Will increase in pressure or increase in time be more efficient in thawing such impervious strata? What is the most efficient spacing for vari- ous depths of gravel? In deep gravels the dead work necessary in handling and connecting pipe will probably jus tify fewer holes and longer operating time to each thaw than will be found efficient in shallow gravels. Will a staggered arrangement of holes give more satisfactory results than uniform spacing?
 It is possible that the method may not be applicable under all conditions. Depth of ground, character of ground, availability of water and slowness of thaw may be factors that will limit its use. It has been suggested that in the Nome region the depth of the gravel will so retard the thawing that this method will be impracticable for dredging operations. Also that where water must be pumped the cost will prohibit the use of the method. No uuantitative data are available that will prove or disprove these asser- tions, and opposite views are held by equally competent men. Even though there are limitations to it's application, the method will undoubtedly be use- ful in thawing shallow ground where water is easily available, and that is putting the maximum restriction upon its use. Should it prove applicable to the deep gravels of the Nome coastal plain, it will be the means of opening a large area of dredgeable ground. much of which would not af- ford the expense of thawing by other methods. Concerning this point, the season of 1919 should furnish addi- tional data, as preparations are now under way to use the process on Dry

Cost of Steam ThaWing

The cost of thawing gravels by steam is as follows: The Northern Light Dredge Company in 1911 thawed nine-foot gravels at a cost of 35 cents a cubic yard, using ten 10-foot points spaced seven feet apart for six to seven hours. The Esquimo Dredge Company thawed 12-foot gravels, us ing 90 points four feet apart for "A hours, at cost of 71a cents cubic yard. If much sand was present in the gravel the cost was 9 cents cubic yard. Scott & Newburg thawed in the spring of 1918 for eight days at cost of 12 cents a cubic yard.

creek in conjunction with dredging operations.
 Time Required

Sufficient data is not available to make any general prediction concern ing the time required in thawing un- der various conditions, but the infor- nation at hand is summarized below.
 In the experimental work on the deep Nome gravels the volume actu- ally thawed amounted to about fifty cubic yards a day for one point using pressure of about thirty pounds and water at 52 deg. Fah.s The test on muck in the Candle district shows volume of about six cubic yards thawed per point per day where the water pressure was about six pounds, the water temperature AZ deg. Fah., and the depth of ground A feet. The creek gravels thawed at the same To- cality were 13 feet deep. Water at "a pressure of about ten pounds and a temperature of 442 deg. Fah was used, and the rate of thaw is calcu- lated at six cubic yards per point per day.
 From these figures the rate of thaw in deep gravel would seem to be fa- vorable rather than unfavorable, 20 points being required to supply 1000 cubic yards of thawed ground a day, as compared with 160 points required to supply a like amount of shallow creek gravel or muck.

A lVeL for washing your flmy things

The cleansing of the flrny, cob webby things that come to our laundry in your family bundle the. silken underwear, dainty shirtwaists and gossamer Geor- gettes and laces-has become a fine art with us.
 These articles of apparel, to which a scrubboard would be ruination, are never touched by awkward hands when we wash them.
 In lieu of the none-too-gentle practices of the. laundress, we employ a much safer method. We place these finer articles in special nets - each according to its kind for washing by gentle sousing and rinsing.
 These nets are purse-like in shape - in fact they closely re- semble the common mesh purse. They are somewhat larger, how ever, and made of cloth instead of metal.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-10-23

Secure in these nets, the sheerest articles are cleansed without coming into contact with wash boards or the hands of workers. Pure soft water and studs of mild white soap, weaving in and out through the meshes, give your things a freshness and beauty that make them as new. The care we use. on garments and apparel of this kind is typi- cal of that which we exercise in the washing of everything. No where. is there any friction and rubbing, to wear out fabrics.
 Your clothes and the clothes of your family, will last longer if you will send them to us to be washed.
 If Monday is an ordeal, we have a simple relief. Just let us know and we will have our driver call for your family bundle.

 Instead of the government dissolv- ing certain of the so-called trusts, the tendency will be, with public opinion approving, to have more merging, all for the sake of economy.

 The greatest joke in the state is on Dr. Perley A Baker, president of the National Anti-Saloon league, who has a farm down in Lowndes county on which has been recently located quite good-sized still. No one accused Dr.. Baker of being a partner in the still, nor did they accuse him of having knowledge of the existence of the same. but it happened to be on his land, and under the Alabama laws the entire plan tation is subject to confscation. If the property on which the Colias store was located on Second avenue is to be con- ffscated then the entire farm of Dr. Ba- ker must be confiscated.
