BANKS IN BIG BUSINESS
CLASS, J. H. MOORE SAYS
Maryland Bankers Association
Told of 500 Mergers During
Past Year.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ATLANTIC CITY, May 24-Assert-
ing that big business" in highly spe-
cialized stage had come to stay and
would increase as such even rlore so
in the next decade, Justin H Moore of
New York stressed the Importance Of
thorough analytical study of general
economic conditions in addressing the
Maryland Bankers Association here.
Mr.. Moore, an official of the Irving
trust Co, declared The general devel-
S-on1e:4t of business on an expansive
scale had reached into the banking in
dustry within the last year to include
it with Is other major industries that
could be designated properly as big
business"
THE general trend in the banking
business" he said. is more and more
toward mergers, especially into smaller
cities and, in some instances, rural
communities.
During 1928 there were $40 mergers,
this move TO consolidate assets and
facilities of these banking institutions
clearly indicating that bankers through
out the Nation have taken cognizance
of the fact that big business Is a
recognized fact in banking.
This trend toward consolidation is
even more sharply defined in other
branches of industry and commerce. for
in the last three months 125 of these
mergers have been effected. Forty-two
of that number alone involved assets
OF more than $12,000,000 000."

CURB ISSUES REACT

NEW YORK, May 24-After recov-
ering further to about the levels from
which the break started Wednesday,
prices developed fresh reactionary tend
encies on the Curb Exchange late in
todays session. Utilities lost practically
all the forenoon gain, United Gas I'm

Power and light issues resumed their
accustomed prominence, with the de-
mand from professionals and for in
vestors gaining impetus as the result OF
the news of the formation of another
large holding company. This will take
over three systems, with assets in ex-
cess Of S1,042, 600, 900. American Super
Power will be the largest stockholder,
and its securities rose spectacularly. The

ed as much more before midday. The
new shares. following an opening trans
action of 25, 600 shares on 3-point adj
vance. were extremely active, while the

MONTANA RANKS HIGH
IN WHEAT PRODUCTION
Over 100000 Bushels in 20 Years
Time, Says Mill Official
At Great Falls.

In 20 years the wheat production
in Montana has increased over TO-
100000 bushels and during that time,
contrary to the belief of many, there
has been but one crop failure, that
of 1919, Paul Trigg, treasurer and
assistant sales manager of the Mon
tana Flour Mills company, said.
Montana stands third in the union
for wheat production and first in the
production of hard red wheat, Mr..
Trigg said. He used actual production
figures to show the increase during
the last 20 years and showed that
excluding 1919 there has been a con-
slant yearly increase in the number
of bushels produced.
Eighty per cent of Montana's peo-
pie depend directly or indirectly upon
agriculture" said Mr.. Trigg. "If the
wheat production was taken from the
state. this so per cent might as we'll
move out. The total income from
this source in 1926-27, was approx
mately S96,O00,00O and in 1929 this
had been increased to S153,000,000,
the latter including the income from
livestock.
Perhaps you have no connection
with wheat or agricultural pursuits,
but it would not be any trouble for
you to post yourself on the actual
situation as it exists. There is too
much misunderstanding among our
own people and to be intelligent
boosters we should understand about
what we are talking"
Mr.. Trigg referred to the tendency
on the part of Californians to boost
their own state whether they were
property owners or not. That spirit
is lacking in Montana, he said. When
the time comes that Montana can be
sold to her own people 100 per cent,
it will mean more than all the legis-
lation that can be passed, he as
serted.

Scarf Styles Are More
Attractive Than Ever

The scarf Is at the very peak of the
mode for almost every kind Of dress.
Shops, large and small, are showing
scarfs almost like muffiers, which soft
en- a tailored costume and add a fiat
tering note that draws together hat
and blouse in the ensemble.
Geometrics and all the modernistic
patterns are used in small straight
scarfs of crepe in two colors, double
faced, to weas with sports suit; and
are printed on or appliqued or woven
into larger scarfs that are meant to
serve as informal wraps for soft after
noon or evening gowns,
individuality Is expressed in these
larger scarfs of crepe or chiffon In
the manner of wearing and in the
choice of the gown with which they
are worn. Often they are selected
with no thought Of their service, but
for their decorative value.
Motifs for the scarfs are of infinite
variety, especially those inspired by
the modern artists. They include
ships, printed on blue and white tri-
angle scarfs TO be tied about the neck,
fichu style, with sailors knot in
front; and triangles, squares and
straight lengths picturing airplanes.

DR.. CAlDWELL'S
THREE RULES

DR.. Caldwell watched the results of
constipation for AZ years, and believed
that no matter how careful people are
of their health, diet and exercise, con-
stipation will occur from time to time.
Of next Importance, then, is how to treat
it when it comes. DR.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to nature
as possible, hence his remedy for consti-
patton is mild vegetable compound. 1t
can not harm the most delicate system
and is not habit forming.
The Doctor never did approve of dras-
tic physics and purges. He did not believe
they were good for human beings to put
into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for
yourself and members of the family in
constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy
stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head
aches, and to break up fevers and colds.
Get bottle today at any drugstore and
observe these three rules of health: Keep
the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels
open. For free trial bottle, just write

Unusual Mineral Deposit

During the World war a prospector
searching an old tunnel near Libby,
Mont, noticed flakes of coarse mica
like mineral that writhed and swelled
enormously when touched by the
flame of his candle. The flaky min
eral proved to be vermiculite, which
further examination showed to be
present in great quantities. Vermi-
cutie is applied to a group of min
erals that expand and give off water
upon heating. The name arises from
the fact that some members of the
group open into long, wormlike
threads. The heated and expanded
material is very light. exhibits a
golden or silvery luster, and appears
to have very low heat conductivity.
These properties suggest possible i'm
portant uses, says Geological Survey.
