Boy Scouts Observe Roosevelt's Birthday

| indoor, with appropriate speeches
and ceremonials, the planting OF
memorial trees, the dedication of
scout cabins, and so forth. As
usual the emphasis will be placed
by the leaders not only on fittingly
memorializing the man who con-
formed so closely to the scout ideal
of manhood, physically strong,
mentally awake and morally
straight" dedicated to God and
country. but also on the RESPONSE
bilities of citizenship, which belong
TO boys as well as to men.
AS James f. West, Chief Scout
Executive, wrote recently to scout
leaders all over the United States
in urging this national observance
of the anniversary
"The two thoughts animating the
demonstrations are, first, to do
honor and to keep alive the memory
of a great American and good
Scout. who kept the Scout Oath and
Law himself; and, secondly, to in
ally with a desire to be better citi-
zens, remembering that such as
these have lived and died."
The celebration has the endorse
ment of the Roosevelt family and
of the Roosevelt Memorial associa.
tion, local branches of which organ
ization will cooperate in many
cases with scout councils in OBJ
serving the day.
Great Enthusiasm Is
Exhibited
Reports coming in from the field
in answer to a QUESTIONABLE sent

quarters indicate an even greater
enthusiasm and more extensive
observance than in previous years.

A few Of our leading banking in
stitutions have established branch
offices in South American countries
and seem to be we'll satisfied with
the results obtained. British bank
ing houses excel US In the opening
up Of branch connections down
south. So far as relations with the
United States are concerned, there
Is no reason why they should not
continue to improve and American

Of the cooperation Of American
bankers and investors in any project
which will surely be for the best in
terests of the country as a whole.
In a report just made public by
the Mexican Petroleum Company, II
is shown that the earnings of that
company and its subsidiaries, for the
first five months OF the year
amounted to $27.SS per share on the
average outstanding common stock
for the period. These earnings for
the first five months are greater
than for the entire year 1921, in
which the company earned $26.52 per
share on the common stock, and
which. in itself. was the best full
year in the history of the company.
The Consolidated balance sheet as Of
May 81, 1922. showed current assets
OF S33.S78,528 and current liabilities
Of s10,17l,S07. The current assets
include s14,262, ,O6l casn. The net
assets on, May 81, 1922. were $685..
706.721, which, compared with Sl6,-
03S,9l4 on December 81, 1921, repre-.
sents an increase during the five
months period OF $7,667.8O7.
Estimates OF the total amount Of
the worlds gold supply runs between
$500, 900 900 and $4,000 900 900. On
June l, the total stock Of the gold
coin and bullion in the United States
was $3,774.470,231, according to the
report Of the Federal Treasury De.
partment. On this basis the United
States holds over ~ per cent sof the
total gold supply Of the world. Since
last August the monthly imports Of
the yellow metal have shown q
steady decrease from FORMER years,
due, among other things, to the de-
crease in our exports to Europe, TO
the decline In private foreign credits,
and to the increase In the sale Of
foreign government bonds In our

ceive about IL per cent. He esti'
mated the bank earnings at $780,

the stockholders about $l2 1000. 900
the remaining 100000 going into

of abnormal earnings. The Gov
ernment received $4,000, 900 In
franchise taxes on bank earnings

NEW YORK. June 29.--After q
firm opening. in which prices OF the
leading speculative shares made
fractional advances over the level Of

heavily in the first hour and a gen.
eral unsettlement Of values took
place, beginning with the oil stocks
and finally extending to other sec.
tions of the market.
A substantial foundation has ap.
parently been laid for a strong mer.
ket today by the publication Of the
exceedingly bullish five months
statement of the Mexican Petroleum
Company. the splendid showing of
the railroads In the matter of loaded
freight cars. and the optimistic
statesments Of a number Of promin.

Of the widespread impression that
the improved technical position OF
the market was more conducive to
an advance than a decline In the
market as a whole. The compare
lively higher rates for call money
this week Is inlidental to the ncces.
sity OF conserving cash resources
for the July first statssments. and
reflects a temporary rather than a
permanent hardening OF rates. A
n ewlow rate for German marks was
one Of the incidents of the early
period, reflicting as much as any.
thing the confused political situation
within the German republic.
