of the country the most successful in their his
tory. The resources and deposits of these banks
have shown unprecedented growth On the date
of the November II, 1919, call, national bank re-
sources amounted to 22,444 1892 900, being $685.
600, 900 more than ever before reported. The
number of individual deposit accounts in all nat
onal banks reported June 80, 1919, was 18,24O,-
500, an increase of over 10000, 900 accounts in
less than ten years.
The increases in deposits and total assets are
scattered widely throughout the country. The in
crease in resources of the "country' banks,
those national banks outside of the reserve cities,
since June 80, last, has been in excess of eight
hundred million dollars. The Country banks Of
one hundred and thirty-four million dollars, or
"a per cent; in North Carolina, the increase was
over $51 100000 or 38 per cent; in California,
$72, ,121, 900, or % per cent; and in Oklahoma,
S49, ,929, 900, 80 per cent.
The record for immunity from failure for the
twenty-five months from January /, 1918, to the
close of the last fiscal year, October 81, 1919 was
thirty times, or 5000 per cent better than the
record for the forty years prior to 1914 There
no failure involving dollars loss to deposit
ors of any national bank in the fiscal year closing
October 81 1919.
The earnings of the national banks for the
past year have also exceeded all previous figures
and will approximate billion dollars gross and
not far from three hundred million dollars net.

Growth of Banks

A bulletin issued by the comptroller of cur
rency shows that there are more than 100000
depositors in national banks. Deposits in trust
companies and loan associations, which are not
indicated in the comptroller's statement, also
show great increase in the last few years. The
financial institutions Of our countries a
sound basis. The statement Of the comptroller
on the condition of the national banks is ap-
pended:
The number of banking institutions under the
supervision of the comptroller Of the currency is
now exactly 8,0O0 including 7,94S national banks
in the United States, Alaska and Hawaii, and 81
savings banks, building and loan companies and
trust companies in the District of Columbia.
There have been chartered in the last six years,
more than 1000 new national banks, and more
charters were granted in 1919 than for any other
year since 1909.

the illustrations, which shows an end
view OF the gears as studied so far.
Here the double dotted circle P repre-
sents the gear which is connected to
the clutch, B and E being the gears on
the counter-shaft, and is the gear
connected to the propeller shaft.
By studying the arrows you will find
that when the gear P revolves in the
direction indicated by the arrow No. l
the gear B will revolve in the direction
shown by the arrow No. 2. AS the
gears B and E are on the same shaft
they will revolve in the same direction.
Thus gear e revolves in the direction
Of the arrow No. 8, with the result that
the gear J must revolve in the direc-
ton indicated by the arrow No. A.
From this you will observe that re-
wolves in the same direction as the
gear P, and therefore the propeller
shaft, to which is connected, must
revolve in the same direction as the
engine, by which the gear P is driven.
How can we make the propeller
shaft, or what amounts to the same
thing, the gear ], revolve in a direc-
tion opposite to the direction Of the
revolution of the engine, or gear P?
Let us make the gear E smaller, so
that it clears the gear j, and let US
| then add another gear, which meshes
with both the gears e and J, as shown
in Figure 2.
Now you will observe that as the
gear P revolves in the direction Of the
arrow No. 1. and E. will revolve in
the direction Of the arrows 2 and 8
respectively. This will make r, the
new gear, revolve as indicated by
arrow No. 4. and so J must revolve as
shown by arrow No. 3.
| Thus you will see that the addition
of this extra. or idler gear, as it is
called. will make the gear revolve
! in a direction the reverse TO that of the
engine, and so the car will be driven
| backward.
Figure shows the new assembly of
| the transmission.
I want to direct your attention to

tail. This / have not done in order
to help you take care of the car.
(proper fabrication being about all the
care the transmission requires), so
much as to give a help in the proper
driving of it,
1t is well known that the most diff
ficult thing a driver has to do is to
shift the gears. Few have trouble in
shifting from first to second, or from
second to high, but there are a sur
prisingly great number who cannot
shift downward, that is, from third to
second, or from second to first OF
those who can do this while ascending
a hill, or driving on the level, many
can not do it while going down hill.
l believe it would be worth while,
therefore. to study the action of the
gears under the varying conditions
In order to mesh Chat is, to con-
meet together) two gears, they should
be revolving so that the speed of the
teeth on their circumference is the
same or nearly so. If there is much
difference in this speed the meshing
will be difficult.
Consider the illustration Figure g.
When in low gear the lineal speed of
the teeth on gears E and ] will make
say, three revolutions to one of ], the
latter is also true of the intermediate
speeds, gears X and F, X making
three revolutions for one of F, but be
cause the circumference OF the gear
K is greater than that Of E, the lineal
speed of it's teeth will be greater than
those Of E, while F, being smaller in
circumference than j, it's teeth will
travel slower than the teeth of ].
Thus we see that when travelling
on low gear the teeth Of the inter
mediate gear connected to the rear
wheels will travel slower than those
of the intermediate gear connected
to the engine. So in shifting from
first to second, it Is desirable to have
those gears connected to the engine
slow down.
By the same reasoning it can be
shown that the same is true when
shifting from second to third.
Fortunately, when the clutch is dis
! engaged and the moment the gears are

BARBARA.
BARB

/ Barbara meaning stranger, has a
strongly Roman Catholic significance
and, in that church, is representative
Of artistic devotion. The original Bar
bara was said to be maiden Of Hello
polls, who became Christian, and in
sisted upon having three windows in
her chamber instead of one in honor of
the creed. Her Grecian father be-
headed her with his own hands and
was straightway destroyed with
thunder and lightning. st. Barbara
became the patroness of sacred archi-
lecture and protestress from thunder

latter reason her name was very fire.
quent among daughters Of soldiers.
Indeed Barbara is regarded by some
countries as protectress of soldiers,
and while her name is all gentle and
filled with piety, it ranks with the
good old warrior names that stir the
blood Of men Of many races to battle.
England named village St. Barbe
and it seemed that nearly every family
in that quantity pretty community had
a Barbara at some time or other in
honor Of the home town. In this way,
use Of the name spread throughout
England.
The Greeks passed it on by a differ.
ent route. The legend Of the maiden
turned Christian was naturally not
special popular. But the name of Bar
bara was the feminine for the Greek
word for stranger, term applied to all
who did not speak their language.
Curiously enough. their combination

closely resembled our own careless
slang expression "blahblah," which
we employ today to express our opin-
ion Of what we consider complete
twaddle. 1t is an interesting fact that
the adjective 'barbarous' thus meant
ignorant, at first. and only assumed its
significance of wild cruelty, as later
! and corrupted translation.

her purity, popularity, and gentle
charm. To dream Of it means faithful
