M'FADDEN BANK
| BILL To BE
CHANGED
California Bankers Oppose
Limited Branch Banking
Section of Measure
By HARRY GUsACK.

Important changes in the Nc
Fadden national bank bin as passed
by the House recently will be made
before the measure is brought into
the Senate for final consideration,
it was indicated today by members
Of the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee.
Criticism of the bill as passed
by the House was voiced yester-
day by California bankers who de-
clared that banks in that State had
come into the Federal reserve sys-
tenn with the assurance that their
Statewide branch banking system
would not be interferred with.
Opposition was also voiced to the
proposal to rewrite that section
Of the revised statutes, which pro-
vides certain restrictions and con-
ditions under which paper may be
discounted by national banks.
Former Senator Frank T. Flint,
attorney, and John S. Drum, presi-
dent of the Mercantile Trust Com
pany of San Francisco, attacked
the branch banking provisions.
The Representatives of the Cali
fcrnia bankers favoring unlimited
branch banking inyTmated their be-
lief that the passage of the Nc
Fadden bill with respect to branch
banking would be a breaking of
faith with them because of assur-
ances that had been given them
when they entered the reserve sys-
tenn.
Mr.. Flint said It was the desire
of his group that the branch bank
ers7 and the unit bankers could act
without interference by Congress in
their own State California; be-
lfeving that this could be done.
criticism Of the bill as passed by
che House also was expressed by
Senator Glass Of Virginia, and By
Senator Fletcher of Florida. The
former said he had had three diff
ferent analysis by experts on Sec
ton 10 OF the bill and that no two
Of them agreed as to its meaning.
This section reWrites section $500
Of the revised statutes relating to
conditions under which paper may
Be discounted by national banks.
The purpose of rewriting the Sec
ton was to clarity doubtful points
as well as broaden its provisions
Senator Glass declared that the new
section is full Of antiquities and
obscurities.
Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania,
who is in charge or the bill, ex-
pressed a Willingness to eliminate
this section. stating that it is not
essential to the purposes of the
measure. -
Senator Fletcher critized section
IL. which deals with Investments by
national banks and includes the
provision permitting national banks
to make five-year loans on i'm
proved city property, the present
limit being one year. Senator Pep
per said that he was prepared to
amend this section to meet OBJ
1ections.
Indications are ttfat there may be
a considerable delay before the bill
As reported and that by that time
g may be SO late in the session as
TO make it impossible to get legis-
lation at this session.

English Country Folk
Cling to Their Ghosts

The country folk of England, who
are frequently in the throes of a ghost
scare, have another one on their
hands now. A mysterious yelled figure
is reported to have been seen fitting
about the ruins of Lovel castle near
Whitney, Oxfordshire
The many old unused castles and abb
beys which dot the English provinces
furnish ideal visitation places for these
nocturnal wanderers and at most sea-
sons there are ghostly appearances
some place in the broad land which at
tract the attention of the country
people.
Many years of such happenings, in
stead Of causing the rural folk to be-
come accustomed to them, have sharp
ened their interest, and now the re-
port of ghostly visit is sufficient to
arouse a whole countryside.
In few cases these apparitions have
been explained but mostly they have
either vanished unknown or still are
reappearing without satisfying any
body's curiosity.

Third Attempt to Make Five-Foot Lens

TWICE In the last five months
have scientists and workmen at
the bureau of standards en-
deavored to produce a 60-inch
disk of perfect optical glass, and twice
have they failed to accomplish this
very difficult task. Undismayed, they
are preparing for the third effort.
1t can be done, for in Germany a
72-inch disk was once brought into
existence, and DR.. G. X. Burgess, di-
rector of the bureau, will continue
until success crowns his labOrs. Then
he will have a prize, indeed, and an
American university will be provided
with a five-fOot reflector about which
to build a wonderfully efficient tele-
scope for astronomical observation.
To cast such a disk calls for 5000
pounds of raw material compounded
with absolute exactitude Each in
gredient must be absolutely pure
glass, silicon, sand and chemicals. The
peculiar property Of optical glass is to
transmit light rays absolutely without
distortion. When finally evolved it
must be clear of every clouding dis
colOration or visual obstruction. Fur
thermOre, it must be unified, of sin
gle density throughout.
Arizona state miner., 1925-01-31

The ingredients are mixed by ma
chinery, given their primary coales-
cling in the preliminary furnace, and
then for five weeks are passed from
furnace to furnace, under graduated
heats, and never even momentarily
unmatched.
When the ingredients have reached
a maximum of heat and fusion, the
first cooling begins. The unborn lens,
tubl1ke in shape, is examined and
tested and then there is a further re-
heating, softening it sufficiently to be
OOzed into a mold.
In the two previous attempts the
workers have got 1t just to this stage.
Then the clay caldron which has had
to go through the heats with it's CLASSY
content has failed. The first struc-
ture was too weak, and the glass
flowed out. The next container was
too strong. 1t refused to crack away
in the cooling period at the proper
point and the glass inside it cracked
instead.
The previous attempts, although
failures from the standpoint of the
ultimate goal, have produced large
quantities of very usable optical glass.

Army Doctor Began War on Hookworm

N RESPONSE to inquiries, the
War department has given an out
l. line of the work done by Col
Bailey K. Ashford, medical corps,
U. s. A, health adviser of the Porto
Rican government. It was Colonel
Ashford who began the campaign
against hookworm in Porto Rico which
led to the discovery Of the disease in
the southern states. His work formed
the basis for extensive efforts toward
eradicating the disease carried on in
this country. Discussing Colonel Ash
ford's activities, the War department
said in part:
Ordered to Porto Rico for duty
with the American troops in the Span
ish-American war, he was in San Juan
at the time Of the San Francisco hur-
ricane, August 8, 1899. After the hur-
ricane, it was necessary for the army
surgeons to care for many civilian
sick, and in this time ColdAel Ashford
became interested in condition
known as tropical anemia,' which af-
fected a large part of the laboring
class of Porto Rico.
For generations this disease had
been widespread among the Porto
Ricans and was the direct cause of
Arizona state miner., 1925-01-31

much loss of life. It's cause was un-
known and all treatment had been
without avail. AS a result Of scientific
studies, Colonel Ashford reported, No
vember "a, 1899, that tropical anemia'
was produced by an infestation with
hookworm. 1t was determined the
parasite was new species, which
ultimately was named the nocator
Americanus
"In 1904 Colonel Ashford was ap-
pointed president Of a board for the
study Of hookworm disease in Porto
Rico, known as the Porto Rico anemia
commission. From 1904 to 1910 this
commission treated about 100000 per-
sOns-One-third Of the population of
Porto Rico-for hookworm disease.
Control of hookworm disease in
Porto Rico has had an immeasurable
effect for good on the economic status
of that country, all Of which is di-
rectly due to the discovery of the para
site by Colonel Ashford"
Colonel Ashford served in France in
the World war as division surgeon Of
the First division, and later as COM
manding officer Of the army sanitary
school in Langres. He is now sta
toned in San Juan.

Those opposing the amendment de-
clare that 46 of the 48 states already

that the federal amendment is not nee
