THE BANKER

The banker is a business man but,
at the same time. he is a public
servant. He manages his institution
to earn dividends for its stockholders,
but it has now come to be regarded
as his duty to give sound advice and
perform many services which result
in no direct addition to his earnings
account He accepts the deposits OF
the parents for the account OF the
baby when it is born. He keeps the
funds and invests them as the child
grows. He advises the young man
when. in leaving school, he enters
business His counsel is given, with
financial assistance as the business
develops. When his client retires
from its management he acts as
trustee in handling his investments
snd finally upcn the clients death.

and first publicly used in 1899. The
lights and shadows of a landscape or
figure were fixed on metallic plate
by the action OF actinic light rays.

cost of maintaining this project in con. stant readiness to turn out explosives by the most up-to-date processes, by provld ing for its constant operation in time o1 I.eace in the production of an essential commodity of a nature closely akin to the explosive product. Inasmuch as nitrogen is the essential ingredient of the ex' plosives and also an indispensable in. gredient of complete fertilizers, what
 ould be more happy and practical than the plan to manufacture fertilizer nl- trates in time of peace and explosive nitrates in time of war?
 The World also complains that the Underwood bill contemplates the manu- facture of one one-thirtieth of the nj trogen we annually import from Chile, and that nitrogen itself is not fer tilizer-at best it is only ten per cent of a fertilizer-it must be mixed with other chemicals" It is just as much a fertilizer as nitrates from Chile, which even the World admits are essential. Be- sides, the Worlds chemistry is wrong Nitrates are from eighteen to twenty. eight per cent. of available plant-food value. No fertilizer is chemically pos sible of complete absorption by plants Only the potash salts have higher fer tilizer percentage than the nitrates and sulphate of ammonia. But MT. Under wood himself has given the best answer to the World: "The government could afford to manufacture these nitrates and throw them into the river rather than permit this project to ignore its prepared hess value as a producer of war ex- rlosives. You do that with your battle ships"
 Yet the World continues to say: "The Shoals is not primarily nitrate plant The Shoals is power station" That IS what the power trust likes to read, but 1t is not what concerns the people and :he government of the United States. The Shoals is not primarily power station [ he Shoals is a nitrate plant,

M1sCoNCEpTIoN AS TO SHOALS

In an editorial urging congress to ''pro- tCct Muscle Shoals" the New York World says that the Underwood bill lis wrong because it's authors insist upon treating the Shoals as a nitrate plant rather than ( power source." This reveals funda- mental misconception of the purpose of the government in developing Muscle SLoals, a misconception entertained by other newspapers besides the World. If Muscle Shoals were nothing but a power source, its development would never have teen undertaken by the government, nor would it have needed such exploitation, for it's power would sooner or later have invited the attention of private capital.
 Muscle Shoals was selected as the site of the governments protection against a ritrates desperately necessary for the manufacture of ammunition explosives, and which it required most of our mer- chant ships during the war to bring Us from Chile. Muscle Shoals has all the desirable qualities of being situated deep Ky inland and away from coastal attack, of being served by adequate tr'ansporta- ton, of providing ample power and of meeting in other respects the require ments of such vital purpose. In the event of war that would close the Panama Canal, Chilean nitrate would not help us he defensive purpose is still the para mount purpose that leads congress to ap' propriate tens of after-war millions fol the completion of Wilson dam. It is now sought, very intelligently, to detray the

A QUAINT CANADIAN CUSTOM

e
 The view that Canadian authorities hold certain of our laws in scant respect appears to have no foundation in fact. On the contrary, the Canadian respect for law and government is deepseated and does not halt at boundary lines. Their border patrol continually CO., operates with ours in the effort to stop the smuggling of prohibited liquor across the line, and many arrests cited by our enforcement officers are made possible Oy tips coming from Canadian official sources. Undoubtedly some of our less Jealous officers are shamed into making some such arrests through the very ev1- dent Canadian assumption that such IS their duty and that sworn officer ot the law always does his duty.
 Another commodity it is sometimes sought to smuggle across the northern Lorder is none other than the suave Celes- tlal. Across the Mexican border he fre- Iuently comes, even, it is feared, with the flnancially-won connivance of Mexican officers of the less dependable sort. But the Canadian border, although an lmag- mary line, is more impossible than was ever the Great Wall of China. Not only do the Canadian officers feel impelled and in duty bound to prevent such cross ing, but the Canadian government promptly and inexorably deports every Chinaman caught even unsuccessfully at tempting to come unlawfully into our ter ritory. The Canadians respect our laws fully as much as we do-perhaps more, for law observance is their quaint custom

WHERE EDUCATION IS HIGHEST

At first thought, the housing of an en- tire college of 12,O00 students in one building appears fantastic idea. Yet such a building for such body of stu dents is about to be undertaken. It will be fifty-two stories high on a base ot 3GO by 26O feet and will have a total cubic capacity of fourteen million feet. This structure is to accommodate the University of Pittsburg, lock, stock and barrel, or whatever the total Lares, Penates and impedimenta of university nay be called. This institution of learn ing is not very old, but it has grown so fast and sprawled out so widely that the very problem of communication between it's most distantly separated classrooms is serious problem. Perhaps the fact that all new buildings are needed at one time and this problem of distance were influential in leading the chancellor, Dr. John G. Bowman, to his magnificent con- ception of a skyscraper college of stu pendous dimensions.
 Efficiency, economy and practicality are the three fundamental virtues claimed for the new structure. For there IS tc be not only economy of time, of space and of construction cost, but also greater

Aluminium forty years ago was a curiosity almost as rare in it's metallic form as moly- bdenum is today. Its cost was correspond ingly high. But its wonderful properties were soon recognized and predictions as to its fu- ture use, when available commercially, were many and varied. Those whose imaginations are even today prophetic said that some day 1t would revolutionize some phases of modern life How true these prophecies were is demonstrated by the fact that in the home and elsewhere it is now familiar metal.
 Recently the American people-and even the world-have been thrilled by two epoch making events. A giant airship has safely passed over the Atlantic, traversing 5000 miles from continent to continent in the air at a speed unexcelled before. Another giant of the air made journey of 10000 miles from New Jersey to California and back. These

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Whatever the difficulties that face the farmer in cooperation in view of his lndl- vidualism and the wide area that is covered by farm operations, the agricultural commls- sion has cooperative marketing at heart and in mind, nd it's most progressive recom- mendations must be along this line, which IS the line of greatest present weakness. And whatever its proposals, if they are to be prac- tically helpful, they must look towards gov ernment help of the farmer to help himself. Marketing of products by governmental agen- cies is contrary to American traditions, and in fact to Americansm. What government can do is within the field of facilitating the farmers own actions.
 This makes d tough problem for the agricul- tural commission, but everybody, first of all the farmer, we'll understands that it is hard nut to crack. Congress has taken the first necessary step, in the farm bloc's bill enacted by the last Congress emancipating farm co operative marketing from artificial obstacles in the laws that existed. The farmer IS al least now free to try out what plans he car make or what may be recommended to him by the agricultural commssion.-Topeka Capital

SAMUEL M. GOMPERS

One thing about Samuel Gompers may rot be denied. He lived the strenuous life. At the age of seventy-four most men seek the chimney corner, or at least 1elinquish all burdens they do not have to bear. But, at the age of seventy-four, Samuel Gompers sought to retain the heavy responsibilities pertinent to the of- flee of president of the American Fed eration of Labor, and succeeded. Nor did he regard the title as an empty honor. He knew by forty years of experience that the office entailed volume of wol k cnd worry that grows greater each year. lie assumed the office with the full in- tcntion of undertaking it's entire duty, and he died in harness, in the line of his duty as he conceived it.
 Organized labor is what it is today
 argely through the efforts and untiring energy of Samuel Gompers. The Fed elation is his child, which he has guided through all it's formative period and which ke leaves only after it has been firmly established and fully organized to carry On. Even if the Federation should dis solve and fall apart, lacking the firm Land of the veteran leader, yet the pro- gress labor has made in forty years will not be lost, nor will the relations between employer and employe ever traverse the retrogressive path.
 Some may regard the organization of labor as the achievement of Samuel Gompers and his monument. But the Fed c1ation was only the means to the real achievement, namely, the permanent bet terment of the working mans condition. Wages are higher, hours are better, liv- ing conditions more satisfactory, labor's rights better safeguarded, both in law and in practice, while labor's place Tn Industry is more stable and more clearly recognized by employers as factor the welfare of which is vital to efficient, eco romical production and to profitable op- eration.
 Samuel Gompers may have made many mistakes. There were times when his srdor seemed to have suffused and ob- scured his vision. He was not so much the man for crises as for everyday leader ship. Fortunately, the crises have been few and far between-the opportunity for faithful, plodding progress, constant and continuous. Samuel Gompers takes hls place among those who have contributed Iimmeasurably to Americas well-being, and in the face of that record no one will properly dwell on his shortcomings, for ltheV were minor.

Use Of Aluminium I'm Airships

notable and striking achievements in aerial navigation have been made possible by alum mum, that crude but common metal which was a curiosity forty years ago. The frame work of these giants of the air is made of an alloy of aluminium with small amounts of other metals which after proper heat treat ment is as strong as mild steel and almost as light as wood.
 Such has been the development in forty years-what will forty years from now Wit ness? Without doubt more airships assuring safe and rapid transportation over long dls- tances Perhaps airplanes will be as common then as automobiles are today, due to the use of some such light metal. Surely alloys of aluminium, and also of manganesium, with other clements, either as duralumin or some other combination are yet in the early stages of their development and use.-New York Journal of Commerce.
