Lisbon January 22.-One of the oldest and best known bankers of this city was recently saved from the effects of d run on his oank by a sensational inci- dent. X large crowd of depositors had gathered at the office of the banker. J. H. Totta. to demand their money The street was blocked by them.
 The firm was paying out the money rapidly when well-known Lisbon mer- chant who was spectator of the rush on the bank, enraged by the scene, Jumped on the counter and reviled the crowd in no measured language He re- called the honorable name of the head of the firm and said that by his kindly aid many of those present had reaped fortunes, but their base ingratitude was low threatening to bring about his ruin.
 As his eloquence increased an ex- traordinary transformation scene took place. Someone raised a cheer which was echoed by thousands. The bank em- pioyes who had calmly been paying out thousands of pounds to all who claimed their deposits were embraced by the de- Dositors, checks were torn to pieces and the elder Totta so years of age was dragged from an inner office and raised on the shoulders of the crowd amid

Photographs of the verville- Packard airplane of the United States army fly
 ns service which won the first contest
 for the Pulitzer trophy at Mitchell field,
 Lcng Island making an average speed of nearly three miles minute, have just
 been received by W. Reese Dunwody of
 the Packard Birmingham Motors com
 pany, local distributors for the Packard
 company. This wonder plane, although somewhat handicapped by fuel trouble on that occasion is now being groomed at
 McCook field for an attempt to break the worlds speed records and it is be- lieved certain that it will shortly attain the tremendous velocity of at least 2U miles an hour.
 "It is interesting to note in connec- l ton with the race.' said MT. Dunwody
 that the performance depended almost entirely upon the amazing power of the engine The plane itself while up to the minute in every particular, neverthe- I less follows the conventional lines with ! which we are familiar It has none or 1 the features that have distinguished some i of the recent speed models. such ap-
 sehce of struts and supports or device l by which the landing gear could be 1 folded into the fusiage and thus decrease
 the head resistance. The tremendous power of the engine has been the factor i depended upon to produce these great speeds.
 l This engine, which was designed by
 Col. Jesse G. Vincent, co-designer of the
 Liberty engine and vice president of en- gineerng at the Packard factory, is ca pablo of producing around 600 horsepower
 at 1000 revolutions per minute. It IS i the most powerful engine ever designed i for quantity production and is far more powerful than anything vet made eScept i 8 few racing freaks. It is not freak, i however but for commercial purposes i or in case of war, could be turned out l literally by the thousands
 .One of the features of this engine i is that it has been so designed that there l is no danger of fire. danger which

 The affair is an outcome of the refleo- tioE in Portugal of the stringent finan- cial and economic situation which seems to prevail in the markets of Europe Business in Lisbon was virtually at a standstill in part of last month owing to the continued fall in the rate of ex- change, which, in the opinion of the Portuguese, attained alarming propor- tions. The situation was aggravated also by new financial programme which threatened to make a heavy increase in taxation.
 Other factors which have contributed to the depression are bad crops excess of imports over exportss shortage of fcodstuffs and fuel, profiteering and in- cessant strikes.
