A War Department clinic
has been appointed to decode
the monologue credited to the
Flying Colonel. Just because
they made him a colonel doesn't
mean he's a nut.
They tell a good one on
Mitchell during war times. A
hotel keeper in Admission, Ala,
standing on the veranda of his
shebang waved "ta-ta" to a
guy up in an airplane.
A shavetail standing hardly
asked him who he was waving
at. "Why, that's my friend
Billy Mitchell up there"
as that so, replied the thirty
day wonder, "well, who is in
that smaller plane flying along
to Mitchell's rear?"
"You big crackpot," chortled
the innkeeper, ~ thought you
were in the army-why, that's
Mitchell's orderly!"

EXPERTSSTUD
BANK FAILURES
will Chart Bankruptcy Rate
for North Dakota

Scientific study Of banking condi-
tions and history in North Dakota
is being made here by F.. r. Shaw
and G.. f.. Warne with the cOopera-
tion Of the state banking depart
ment.
Shaw is an instructor in economics
at the University Of Illinois and
Warne holds similar post at Chi
cago University. Both are employed
by the department of economics and
banking at Columbia University.
New York City, which is sponsoring
the work.
NJ. Parker Willis. professor Of
economics and banking at Colum-
bia and former member of the fed
eral reserve banking board, is di-
recting the work throughout the ma.
tion.
The survey, Shaw said, is intend
ed to disclose banking conditions
and history in every state in the
Union. Special attention is paid to
the causes of bank failures as dis
closed in their statements over per.
iods prior to their closing, as we'll
as to the development of the busi-
ness since 1895. Only failures which
have occurred since 1900 will be
considered in the survey. There
have been 255 of these in North Da-
kota during that period, the inves-
tigators said.
Results of the Investigations in
the various state will be charted and
tabulated at the Columbia Univer-
sty school of economics with view
to giving bankers scientific data
on the causes of bank failures and
conditions which have prevailed just
prior to such failures. In that man.
ner, it is believed. bankers will be
enabled to avoid the financial shoals
which might wreck their institu'
tions.
