the explosion as they went to work
yesterday.
Remote Chambers Sought.
Pausing only for few gulps Of cof-

a chart of the underground chambers
and spent three hours checking and
rechecking to determine which of the
entries had been explored. Then. in
tent on reaching remote chambers un-
penetrated since the explosion, they
descended again into the shaft.
Their first duty was to locate and
determine the extent of the fire sus.

Their skepticism that their comrades
had survived the terrific explosion

BANKS IN DISTRICT
SHOW PROSPERITY
Controller of Currency Re-
ports S22,884,000 Gain in
Assets in Capital in Year.

A bright picture of growing pros
perity in the District Of Columbia, as
reflected in bank figures. was paint
ed today by Controller of the Curren
cy j. w. Mcintosh in his annual re-
port to Congress. Although there was
n decrease of three in the total num-
ber of institutions in this city during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1926,
he said the IS banking associations
here showed at the end of the year
:otal assets Of 1851 ,438. 900, which was
an increase of $22,SS4, 900 for the
year.
The institutions included 13 nation
al banks, loan and trust companies,
20 savings banks and 22 building and
loan associations. Their combined
capital was $24,144 900 and individual
deposits $26S,665, 900.
In his report the controller made
an urgent appeal for enactment of
the McFadden branch banking bill,
and stated there had been a STEADY
decline in the relative strength of the
national banking system Enactment
of the proposed legislation, which has
passed both the Senate and House,
but on which the two branches have
been unable to work out their differ
ences, was required, he said, as
means of 'resuScitation." Aggregate
resources of the national banks, how
ever, he said, had increased.

PLAYING THE GAME

1t is somewhat remarkable thing, though the
United States is said to be lawess country, that
IN respect to their sports and pastimes, people
seem to be rather law abiding.
Take it in baseball, for instance. There is a
general consent that the players should 'play the
game" obey the rules, and submit to the umpire.
II the umpire is unfair there is howl to have him
taken out. but that is because the crowd believes
he has been disloyal to the rules. 1t is not any
attack on the principle of obeying the rules. But
under ordinary circumstances the crowd says let
the umpire settle it. Players who habitually try
20 break the rules are not favorably regarded.
Now if we could get more of that spirit into
the relations of the people to the laws of the state
and nation, We should be much better off, and many
Of the evils that perplex Us and cause trouble and
disaster would cease to exist

OLDEST LIVING THING

There stands in Sequoia National Park In
California the oldest living thing in the world. the
General Sherman tree, more than 5000 years old
II is the largest of those redwood trees for which
California is famous, and is surrounded by many
others of almost equal size and age.
The General Sherman tree is 28O feet high
and SO u feet in diameter at its base. The William
Mckinley tree is taller, being 900 feet in height
but only 28 feet in diameter. The Abraham Lin
coin tree is 270 feet high and 81 feet in diameter
Some of these trees were already forest giants
ten centuries old, before Abraham Jared forth from
his native Ur of the Chaldees to found the Hebrew
nation. They had withstood the storm of thirty
centuries before the birth of Christ. Yet they still
stand in sublime majesty, living, growing things,
and will live and grow for many centuries to
Survivors from the dawn of civilization, awe
inspiring in their stately grandeur, they seem TO
hold within their massive trunks the mysterious
secrets of antiquity
If one would gain better realization of how
brief is the span of human life, let him consider
the General Sherman tree, and contemplate that
two hundred generations of men have appeared
md passed from earth's stage since the soil was
broken by its first tiny shoot.

DO WE FEAR sTAGNATIoN7

(Florida Dgest)
Why should Florida fear stagnation or be-

trsmbe for the future when the captains of indus
try. economic experts and financial writer's the
nation over have heraded the passing of this spe-
eulation period as the real beginning of of
prosperity and growth that will make of Florida
a gigantic empire as strong the rock of Gbral
tar?
Who are some of these men and what have
they said?
Charles NJ Schwab: A solid foundation has
been laid here; this foundation must settle now
before the great superstructure is built
Roger w. Babson: Florida is growing at
greater rate today than before in its history
John W. o'Leary: Florida has merely made
rapid strides towards catching up with the national
procession; her great future is assured.
Charles Donald Fox; claim that Florida is
poteneaiy the greatest agricultural empire in the

James / Bush: After thorough inspection
Of Florida, which included all the major cities l
gvings TO the stability of Florida:
I r. Kenly: Florida's continued growth and
prosperity are guaranteed by its soil and climate
end de progressiveness Of its people
Richard H. Edmonds: The end of wild and
reckless speculation in the real estate market is the
best thing that eOuld have come about in Florida
end the progress and prosperity of Florida are only
in their infancy ascompared with what is ahead.
When such men as these-and there are many
mere we could quote-have testified to Floridas
present stability and growth and to her future pos
sibilities, why should Florida worry Add to these
the testimonies Of the Wall Street Journal. Bar

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

In the June issue of Current History magazine
a thoughtful contribution to the controversy over
capital punishment is furnished by Harry Elmer
Barnes, sociology professor of Smith and Amherst
colleges who ayers that the taking of human life
as punishment for crime is relic of barbarism.
Tracing the origins of the death penalty, Prof.
Barnes declares that it through an effort to
placate the pagan gods. Later, death was inflicted
through motives of revenge. More recently, CAPT
tai punishment has been defended the ground
that it has deterrent effect upon other potential
murderers All these theories dismissed by
Frof Barnes equally abhorrent. Taking what
may be called the advanced view of the
derlying human behavior, he says:
"The human animal has his conduct absolute
ly determined by the combined influences of
heredity and social surroundings There is not the
slightest iota of choice allowed to any individual
from birth to the grave Conduct can be altered
only by altering the organism by the introduc
ton of new or different social influences and forms
of stimulation"
Without specifically recommending detailed
plan for dealing with the problem, Prof. Barnes
declares that if crime is to be eliminated there
must be measures adopted to prevent the birth of
defective persons, so far as possible. When defec
tves are born in spite of restrictions imposed an
improvement of the social environment and special
education recommended. He apparently favols
the painless determination of hopeless types of hu
mainly who menace their feowmen.
Whatever we may think of Prof. Barnes
views as whole, we must agree with of his
conclusions, which is that punishment for crime
should be determined by permanent boards of
perts instead of being left to uries composed for
the most part of ignorant and irresponsible citizens

 We herewith submit our views regarding certain fishing regu- lations.
 We would recommend that conditions with a few changes be brought back to the spring of 1924. That the boats be limi- ted to $50 fathoms of net.
 That stake nets be allowed. That the fishermen be kept as before 500 yards outside the mouth of the sloughs, but

children-and especially those that

medicine supreme-nothing helps like it.
But 1t is nasty and repulsive and
evil smelling and nearly always up

to-date chemists advise McCoy'5 Cod
Liver Oil Compound Tablets.
Children love them as they do candy,
because they are sugar coated and
easy to take. One boy gained 111a

healthy and happy-thousands of
other children have grown strong and
robust.
Sixty tablets for 60 cents at Hooks,

Give them to the sickly, frail child
