He Must Be Fierce

Dear Cyrthia-Conversati seems to
be lacking in your column. so am
going to open up a little topic Per-
haps a crazy boob like De Jure can give
me some unreasonably clever advice.
You know. Cynthia, I've met so many
young ladies' in the last four or five
years that I think I am quite able to
solve all problems for myself
And yet, there is one thing that gets
me puzzled. Whenever l go out with
girl the first time she seems to be
afraid OF me. Truly, there's nothing in
my appearance to inspire such fear for,
I assure you, a person with a moro an
gelic face never walked the street.
However. find that the second time
I'm out with them they are very much
at ease and some even go SO far as tc
apologize for their unfounded fears.
Now what, dear Cynthia or any in.
tereste6 readers. do you imagine causes
such a feeling? Let me hear what Others
have TO say and I'll let you know which
one ! find the more reasonable.

BANKS SHOW HUGE
REVENUE FOR YEAR
"a Per Cent. Gross on Capital
Is New High Record, Says
Comptroller.
ONLY 5 CONCERNS FAILED
Remarkable Stability During
Period of Financial COnvul-
si0ns Pointed Out.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.-The S,157 ma
tionai banks of the country reported a
gross revenue of s1.1os, 100000. or "a
per cent. on their capital, for the fiscal
year ending last June 80. said a state
ment to-day by John SHELTON Williams.
Comptroller OF the Currency. This, Mr.
Williams said, was new high record.
Only five banks went into the hands OF
receivers during the year, record ex-
ceeded only by that of the year before
when there were no failures. Mr.. Will
Jams declared the national banks had
net the severe test" of war and recon-
struction in way that proved their
solid strength and the wisdom and
fidelity" of those who direct them.
1.-The facts and figures" he added
mus. give the American people and the
world increased confidence in the safety
and power of the banking and business
interests of this country"
Earnings of the banks came largely
from interest and discount, Mr. williams
said. although total OF s97.000,o00 was
obtained from exchange and collection
charges and other miscellaneous sources.
Losses charged off by the banks were
distributed as follows S31, 20fh000 on
loans and discounts, s61. 200, 600 on bonds
and other securities and S21.000,000 on
miscellaneous losses.
The banks paid interest to depositors
aggregating 2S7.600,000. their reports
showed. Their taxes amounted TO s79.-
100000.
THE shrinkage in the value of ou-
principal commodities and articles OF
production during the fiscal year ended
October 81" Mr.. Williams said. lis the
greatest IN commercial history, not only
In amount but in the proportion of
the decline to former values. 1t amounts
to billions OF dollars. No six years in
the history of the world have brought
commissions and changes so tremendous
OF intense. The manner in which our
banks have endured these ordeals is
impressive indication that they were not
tempted from the ways of safety and
honesty by the excitement of imitation.
THE national banking system of tn
United States has not only endured un
shaken the phenomenal changes but ha :
prospered and grown steadily and sub
stantially in the midst Of them. During
the past fiscal year 361 charters wers
granted for new national banks with.
capital Of sal ,077,500, and SOC national
banks have increased their capitl a
total of 104618.100. The net Increase
Of authorized national banking capita
for the year, after subtracting all re-
ductions by consultations, voluntary
liquidations, receiversh ps and reductions
of capita. is s11S,S10 900. This Is fifty
per cent. more than the greatest increase
for any preceding year since 1861

come, which accounts for a large part Of
its floating debt. Taxes were increased
in 1919 and the city expects to balance
its budget for 1920-1921."

PILGRIM COINS ARE POPULAR.
Celebration Halves
Are in Great Demand.

The Pilgrim half dollars. recently
issued by the Director Of the Mint and
distributed to banks throughout the
country by the National Shawmut Bank
Of Boston. are proving popular, judging
from the requests for allotments of the
new coins received from banks from
Maine to California. More than half Of
the 100000 pilgrims issued have been
distributed. At this rate the ISSUE
which is limited to that number, will
be quickly exhausted.
Some misunderstanding exists as to
why the price of the coins should be set
at 81, although their face value is but
so cents That price was fixed by the
commission created by the Massa-
chusetts Legislature to celebrate the
tercentenary Of the landing Of the Pill
grims. 1t is intended that the balance
above the face value Of the coins, less
minting charges, cost of dies, &C., shall
be turned over to the commission for
its use. Their distribution by the bank
Is entirely matter of patriotic service.
