Banks Prepared
For Credit Needs
La Moving Crops
Alexander Sees No Cause for
Alarm i'm Situation; Traf-
fc Conditions to Increase
the Demand for Money

In the opinion of James s. Alexander,
president Of the National Bank of Com
merce, there is no cause for undue ap-
prehension regarding the ability of the
banks TO meet all necessary financial
requirements during the coming fall
season, when heavy demands upon their
resources will be made for crop NOV
ing purposes.
"The Importance Of the existing
credit situation,' said Mr.. Alexander
yesterday. "is enhanced by The close
approach of the crop-moving season,
during which the country's credit re-
qulrementS reach their maximum. The
dlfficult,eS of transporta ton will con-
slderably augment the volume Of credit
needed this year to meet the country's
agricultural requirements, since the
clearing away of existing traffic con-
gestion cannot be expected in time to
permit of normal movement of crops
to market in the fall.
Tho banking institutions of the
country have for many months been
seeking to curtai non-esscntial Dor
rowing and have hoped that the total
volume Of outstanding loans would be
gradually reduced in anticipation Of
the approaching heavy requirements
Respecting the former, some measure
Of success has developed, and the un-
derlying soundness of the credit struc-
ture is unquestioned. Thus far, how
ever. the obstruction of orderly com
modify movements has prevented a re
duction in tho aggregate volume Of
outstanding credit.
There arc, however, two factors
which tend to improve the credit stu
alton. The long continued flow of gold
out of the United States has changed
at least to moderate net inward
movement, which, in some degree, re-
duces the pressure on credit facilities.
The tendencies toward price recessions
and a decreased volume of business
which arc now apparent, may. if they
continue, considerably reduce com
mercial and industrial credit require
ments
There is no cause. believe, for
undue apprehension regarding the
ability of the banks to meet ali neces-
sary requirements during the coming
season. particularly since their re-
sources are we'll coordinated under the
Federal Reserve system, which was de-
Vlsed to meet such ar emergency. 1t
must be clear, however, that nothing
in the situation warrants an eXpccta-
ton OF easy credit or low money rate.
Credit will be available for the coun-
try's essential needs, but not for other
cnmployments."

Propaganda of Pessimism
Ill-Timed. Bank Declares

CLEVELAND, July 26.-Therc is
nothing Fundamentally wrong with
business conditions, which continue to
improve slightly, according to the
monthly business review of the Fourth
Federal Reserve Bank issued to-day.
The propaganda of extreme pessi-
mism which has been spreading during
the last few months is l-timed and
mischievous, the statement saws. point
ing out that with the passing of the
unusual business conditions during the
last five years nothing is more natural
than that the country return to q

STEVENSON IN HAPPY MOOD
Writer Had Periods Of Enjoyment
During His Too-short Sojourn
In His Beloved Hawaii.

Robert Louis Stevenson in those far
off happy days in Hawaii had many a
queer adventure, and some of the
things he did himself were not exactly
customary, an exchange says. One of
them was his habit of lying in bed and
playing quaint little tunes on his flag
eolet, sort of primitive clarinet, while
little gray mouse sat upon its hind
legs with its head cooked to one side
and apparently enjoying every note.
Stevenson's best friend on the won
derful islands was King David Kala-
kaua. He and his royal chum spent
many hours playing cards with other
white men at the Stevenson cottage
or at the kings boathouse, games in
which the king frequently went broke
and had to give his l. o. US for yari-
Gus amounts. After the game the con-
testants, with flower wreaths about
their necks and dressed in the thinnest
Of ducks, would loll back In great cane
chairs and listen to the gentle voice
Of Stevenson as he told them some ro-
nance or uncovered for them native
legend he had run across in his wan
derings.

BURBANK ON GOOD SCOUTS.

Luther Burbank probably knows as
much about boy culture as he does
about plant life and its improvement
by scientific means. Following is his
idea of the birthright of every Ameri-
can boy who is to be reared under the
best conditions:
Every child should have mud pies,
grasshoppers, water bugs. t&dpoles,
frogs, mud turtles, elderberries. wild
strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees
to climb, brooks to wade in, water
lilies, woodchucks. bats, bees, butter
flies, various animals to pet, hayhelds,
pine cones. rocks to roll. sand, snakes
huckleberries and hornets; and any
child who has been deprived of these
has been deprived of the best part OF
his education"
In commenting on this the Saturday
Evening Post declared that 1.-THE larg-
est single agency in the world that
uses these raw materials as part of its
regular stock in trade is the Boy
Scouts of America. Persons who have
not closely watched the growth of this
lusty young giant can scarcely be
aware of the stature it has attained
or of the tremendous power for good
In American life that it has become"

TRICKS IN RING CONDEMNED
Ordinary Fighters Are Not Quite
Smooth Enough.

Smart boxers can get away with
ring tricks, but the ordinary run mess
things up, according to Harry Dona-
hue, Eastern lightweight. He says:
''Dirty tricks in the ring are the
worst things boxer can pull He not
only hurts himself, but he hurts the
fight and the fight game. Some boxers
are so smart they can get away with
it. but the ordinary lads can't. Johnny
Kilbane and Packy Mcfarland were
two of the trickiest men l ever boxed,
but they had their work so polished
that very few discovered it. Kilbane
had habit of tripping an opponent
and throwing him on his back. He did
it on me and almost put me out. He
had dazed me with a right to the chin
and before 1 could recover balance he
put his foot behind mine and pulled it
from beneath me. I fell fiat on my
back, my head striking the floor with
such force that 1 was almost complete
ly stunned. McFarland's favorite trick
was TO stab with his finger ends, par
ticularly on the wishbone. The first
stab would not hurt, nor perhaps the
second, but he would continue to stab,
stab. stab. until the pain would become
uncomfortable"

AND DADDY COULDN'T ANSWER
Youngsters Question a Trifie Too Per-
sonaI Even for This Sophis-
ticated Generation.

Babies, no less than fools, sometimes
ask questions that wise parents cannot
answer, remarks the Philadelphia
Ledger. A child of two was being
carried by his father through the sub
way station at Broad street on day
when the crowds were enormous. The
child was plainly fascinated by the
hordes of people. you won't step on
any of these people, will you, daddy?''
he asked as, perched on his fathers
shoulders, he was piloted through the
throngs. Then he tried TO count them :
"One, two, free, four people; one, two,
free, four people"
Finally they reached their train and
as they sat down beside dapper. i'm
portant-looking gentleman the urchin
reached his forefinger toward the
mans face and almost touching him
asked in tones that could be heard
throughout the car:
Daddy, what is dis little man for?

BASEBALL ENJOYED ITS
MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR

Baseball has closed the most
prosperous year in it's history.
The estimated Cleanup" for the
majors is in the neighborhood of
$10,000,000. Not a club in either
circuit lost money. Every one
made huge profits-even the low
ly Athletics and Phillies.
The tail-end clubs didn't draw
so well at home, but when on the
road, and pitted against outfits
that were in the pennant fight,
the crowds simply packed in.
And the visiting teams gathered
in so per cent of the "spoils."
The Yankees, with Babe Ruth
as the magnet, are reported as
having cleared close to 100000
on the year-a profit far in ex-
cess of anything in the long an
nails of the game. The Indians
garnered in the vicinity of $780,
600, and the Dodgers grabbed off
nearly $4,000. The White Sox,
packing the parks at home and
abroad, are said to have netted
Comiskey more than half mil
lion.
F, And the Giants, tail-enders
throughout the early months and
pennant warriors later-earned
nearly $1,000,000.

SCOUTS

REGISTER AS VETERAN SCOUT

A vigorous, concerted effort is being
made by the national headquarters
and the various local councils Of the
Boy Scouts of America to encourage
oil men and boys, who are eligible, to
register as veteran scouts and thus be-
come recognized life members of the
Veteran Scout association. The slogan
Register the Veteran" has been
adopted and will be used nationally
for the next few months as means
of bringing about this much desired
result.
Every first class scout official who
has been in the movement total Of
FIVE years is eligible. The service need
not have been continuous. This ap-
plies to scoutmasters and their as
sistants, troop committeeman, mem

officials. And 1t is announced official

corps or any of the recognized war
service organizations will receive cred
it toward securing the veteran scout
rank.
1t Is stated that between 10000 and
$4,000 men and boys now active in the
movement are eligible to this rank,
which in many respects is the most
honorable of all, for 1t is figured that
