The Best Bet.
The Treasury Department realizes
that as between two systems Of banks,
investment capital will flow more freely
into the one which yields the largest
returns in dividends. The Federal
financial authorities are no less con-
scious that If the advantage In this
respect is continuing one. the syS-
tenn Of banks thus favored will be the
one to survive. Apparently citizens
who want to invest their money in bank
shares have come to the conclusion
that the State banks are the better
bet.
Controller Pole recently set forth his
views before the Maryland BankerS'
Association. IF Congress would pro-
tect itself from the loss Of the Nations
present banking instrumentality." he
said, Congress must make it to the
tional rather than a trust company
charter. The alternative would seem
to be the elimination Of the national
banks in favor of 4S distinct systems
of banks under the supervision of 40
separate banking departments. With
in recent months the trend toward
trust company charters by national
banks has been alarmingly accumulated

CONTROLLER POLE TO SEEK AID
TOSAVE NATIONAL BANK SYSTEM
Will Tell Bankers 1t Faces
Real "PIight" Due to Trust
Charter Trend.
Says 70 institutions With
z "a Billions Resources Have
Changed in 1929.
BIZ FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

J. w. Pole, controller Of the currency,
is about to enlist the aid of the bankers
OF the country in measures to save the
national banking system. UnbeknoWn
to the business world at large, the sys-
TEN faces a genuine crisis through the
growing preference of national banks to
become State banks. During the first
national banks, with aggregate re-
sources of $2,750. 000,0 900, passed from
Federal to State jurisdictions. Bankers
are finding 1t more advantageous to
carry on their business under trust
company charters.
Controller Pole will depict what he
calls the plight of the national bank
ing system" before the annual conven-
ton Of the American Bankers AsSorio-
ton IN San Francisco next week. His
address there on October is expected
to be the high spot of the convention.
Bankers in particular await some ex-
position of the Treasury Departments
views on legislation necessary to arrest
the flight of banks from national to
State control.
Conferences Are Held.
Conferences on this subject have been
held with leading bankers during the
Summer at the offices of Secretary
Mellon and Controller Pole. AS a re-
suit Of these discussions, it is under
stood that there have now been formu-
lated recommendations to Congress
which will offer to State banks and
trust companies an opportunity to gain
q wider field of banking operations
under the national charter.
Not only the national banking sys-
tenn, but the Federal Reserve system, is
affected by the present-day trend to-
ward State banks National banks by
law must join the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn, but to do so is optional with State
banks. The latter have not taken very
liberal advantage Of the privilege. From
the period Of 1914, when the Federal
Reserve act came into force, until the
end of 1918, out Of $500 State banks
and trust companies eligible for mem
bership, only 836 OF them affiliated
themselves with the reserve system

WOMAN COAL EXPERT
LEARNED 1T AT DESK
Colorado "Mineralogist' Says She
Wouldn't Know Mine Lamp
if She Saw It.

BY the Associated Press,
DENVER. Colo..-Behind a desk in
the State Capitol sits a modern Lady
of Shalot, whose mirror has revealed
the story of the coal industry OF the
State to make her an expert, although
a stranger to the underground mines
where day never dawns.
The progress of the coal industry in
Colorado is mirrored in the tables and
records on the desk in the State coal
mine inspectors office. behind which
sets the gray-haired figure Of Ada r..
Tibbits.
Mrs. TibbitS, in whose veins flows the
blood of the Prussian nobility, knows
the coal industry Of her State from
tipple to hearth, but wouldn't recog-
nize a safety lamp II she saw one, she
says. She is the chief clerk of the
ONCE and has followed the State min
ing industry since 1899.
Her work is largely statistical, but
in conversation she drifts outside her
realm of figures to comment on the
changes wrought by machine methods.
Although she has never frequented the
inner workings of q mine, she knows
the best producing areas, the kind Of
coal mined and its markets.
Mrs. Tibbits was born in Davenport
Iowa, 70 years ago.. Her father was
Baron Rolla du Rosey, q. Prussian
nobleman, who followed Carl Schurz
to America and fought in the Union
Army during the Civil War.

PLYMOUTH. VT. September as
John Coolidge and his bride continued
today to enjoy the quiet of life in this
hamlet. where the thirtieth President Of

Thanks to the industry of 91-year-
old Mrs. Harriet M. Moore, a cousin
of Johns grandfather, the late Col
John Coolidge, the honeymooners have
added to their gifts one whose senti-

weigh the monetary value Of many more

It is a braided rag rug which Mrs.
Moore started to make early last Mon
day, the day the former Presidents
son took as his bride Florence Trum-
bull, daughter of Connecticut's Gov
ernor. Mrs. Moore presented it to the

all over the country are anxious to ex-

There was bit Of excitement about it all.
Even the veteran railroad men in that cab were
tense Countless times they had taken trains
down the line, it was their regular business but
there was something different about this, some
thing far more thrilling than a regular run.
Here was new chapter in the romance of rail-
reading about to be written.
J. A. Redding, road superintendent of engines
at Washington, climbed aboard. He was going
to RIDE the cab to Baltimore, to supervise the
operation of the 540l. They were shouting ALI
aboards back of us. Then Conductor Keith
Rogers, commander in chief of everything back
there, pulled the cord and there were two short
blasts Of the air whistle over our heads-the

The colored folks are loose in habit, it is true. But so arc all the rest.

Beside them, the devasting greed of a foreign peasantry that demands all and gives little shows in bitter con- trast. l have known woman decline to buy milk fer her Ju-, bcrcular girl, and refuse to call a doctor for her boys gangrened foot Why? Because she want cd the money to buy another lot. I have known fathers to lock up the foOdstuffs at nighJ so that growing children could not eat an extra crust. 1 have known a mother to refuse Stubbornly to consent to a marriage license for a minor girl already in disgrace, until the girl and her lover had between them paid 8 heavy bill for food, not a crumb of which had either of them eaten. It is Tot the exception but the rule, for such parents to demand every cent their children earn to pay for projects that profit the chil- dren little. Often the father ex- torts the tax only to drink it up and beat the girl who gave it to him. How else can he prove his masculine superiority when he can't find a job, and she can?
