to function as the nations fnancia!
capital.
A recent investigation as to the
origin of one hundred leading execu'
tives In the New York financial dis
trict, showed that no less than sixty
per cent were born outside New YORK
State, that no less than twenty-eigft
per cent were born. in towns Of 5000
or less, and only twenty per cent were
born In New York City.
The birthplaces Of these men rep
resented Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mass
chusetts. Connecticut, Michigan, Mia
souri,, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware,
Vermont, Mississippi. Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Minnesota, Iowa, Florida,
Rhode Island, North Carolina, lndi'
ana, Wisconsin, Georgia, California.
Montana, Maine, West Virginia, New
Jersey and the District Of Columbia.
The same situation Is true of the
younger men, particularly in the
banks. This reflects more than mere
ly the attraction of the big city for
ambitious young men. II Is the result
of the definite purpose Of New YORK
banking to equip itself to perform
most effectively Its work for all the
nation.
A brief description Of the mechan-
Ism of the nations banking system
will make this clear. Many of the
New York banks are bankers banks.
roCcrunivu Of rrpdit In
which banks throughout the country
deposit unemployed funds in New
York. When crop needs in rural dis
tricts or industrial expansion In man.
vfacturing centers increase local re-
Qulrements for money these local
banks call in their funds from New
York and in addition may ask the big
city banks for loans.
Country banks frequently deposit
as security the notes of their own GUS
toners, often secured, in turn, by farm
capital such as ploughs, livestock and
other possessions. The fifty thousand
dollar note, for instance, Of country
bank In big New York bank may
have attached, as collateral security
fifty or a hundred small notes Of
hundred dollars up to a thousand
or more, signed by local farmers and
their wives. Into one of the biggest
New York banks comes In this way
from the South each crop season
small note secured by plough and
harrow and a mule named "Molly"-
an incident that has been aptly de-
scribed as "The Minting of Molly"
It is one among many securing large
inter-bRnk credit.
Thus is big banking in New York
brought close to the plain people of
the solI--thus does 1t finance their
humble husbandry-and thus has II
felt the need Of recruiting Its officers
from among men familiar and sympa-
tlctic with local conditions-able to
visualize the needs Of the people there
and pass sound judgment ON the
credit factors involved.
It is due to the conditions thus pic
tured that among the officers Of New
York's banks will be found represen.
tatives from all parts OF the nation
They are the delegates of the people
at the business capital.

TEXAS MAN BREEDS QUEEN
BEES FOR EVERY MARKET
BY Use Of Artificial Means lie
Fools the Bees and Reaps
Income Of $4,000 a Year.

Raising and selling queen bees
bring to H. d. Au!t an annual revenue
of more than 10000. and most of this
Is profit. Mr.. Ault's queen bee farm Is
near Calallen. Tex, and Is IN It's
twelfth year of successful operation.
He ships the queen bees all over The
United States and to foreign lands,
Including Australia, japan and cOun'
tries Of Europe aud South America.
He also ships many colonies of work
Ing bees.
Breeding queen bees Is done partly
by artificial means There would be
no money In the Industry If the nn-
tural breeding method of the bees
were depended on for queens 1t Is
explained. II was discovered that the
working bees, Ike carpenters. per
formed their work according to the
plans and specifications Of the arclli-
tect so Mr. AuIt began building large
cells for queens In the artificial wax
comb foundation These queen cells
are then rIIed and produce queens,
according to the foundation specified
lions.
AS u result Of this artificial method
Mr. Ault obtains about 100 queens
from every hive OF 1000 to 1900 work
ing bees. instead Of only one queen
The bees are fooled, but they do not
seem To mind 1t.
Queen bees vary in price. When
the demand Is slow they sell for as
low rs 81. but ordinarily they bring
$3.50 to $2.75 each. Just now there Is
an extraordinarily good demand for
them and the price is on the upward
trend

changes in price levels of building

ments, S0S3 Sixteenth street north

ments, is a non-fireproof structure of
a type which could not be built to-
day under the present building regu-
lations. He stated that it is of
semi-frame type of construction,
with steel beams and wooden joists.
He estimated the cubic contents Of
the building at $685. 900 cubic feet and
placed valuation of $4,000 on the
building, which he stated was badly
in need of repair. He estimated the
total depreciation on the building at
SIS, 900 and stated that a 8 per cent
allowance for depreciation during the
next few years will be reasonable
