fairs of two banks. which closed today,
bringing to a total Of four banking In
stitutions which have failed to open in
the Birmingham district within the past
10 days, were under investigation of the
State banking ofilcialS tonight.
Meanwhile, searching parties were
doubling their efforts to locate the body
Of DR.. A. w. Bell, president Of the
Woodlawn Savings Bank, one of the
institutions which closed today. DR..
Bell drowned this morning In the CooSa
River, near Vincent, Ala. DR.. Bell was
reported to have gone in swimming
with q party Of friends shortly after
he arrived at his country place for the
week end.
Starts Run on Another Bank.
The report of the closing Of the
Woodlawn Bank caused a run on the
Southside Bank, which prompted ON
cials to order its doors closed. OfncialS
of the Southside Bank said that clos
ing was temporary and that the bank
would reopen for business Monday
morning.
AS the report spread throughout the
district, mild runs started at otner
banks. The runs were halted in most
instances when officials announced
that all depositors wishing to withdraw
their funds would be paid promptly.
Judge C. E. Thomas, State superin-
tendent Of banks, arrived tonight from
Montgomery, to take charge of the
banking situation here. He attributed
the closing Of the Woodlawn and South
side Banks today to runs precipitated
by the closing of the two banks last
week.

City Bank, 6E Trust Co. and the Avon
dale Bank 6 Savings Co. j. B. LaSsiter,

VIOLENCE is OVER
Calm Follows 36-Aour Strife
as New Orleans Car
Line Asks Writ.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW ORLEANS, La, July s.-Pro-
lection Of a Federal injunction against
further riots by street car strikers and
their sympathizers was sought today by
counsel for New Orleans Public Service,
Inc.
Claiming the interest of bondholders
was in jeopardy because of the recent
mob sabotage, the petitioners urged the
injunction to restrain officials and en-
ployes of the Garments union from ad-
ditional acts of violence against the
company's property. Judge Wayne @.
Borah Of Federal District Court ordered
the union ofilcials to file an answer on
July o.
Meantime the city commission coun-
Gil and representatives of the union and
company sought to settle the grievances
around the conference board.
Strikers Take Rest.
Apparently worn down by the 50
hours OF street strife, the strikers rested
today after daybreak and except for
the complete cessation Of street-car
service the city assumed almost normal
life.
The lull today was in sharp contrast
to yesterday Wnen Canal street, the
famous business thorou9hfare, bowed
before the mob rule, while policemen
and firemen stood by helplessiy.. Five
charred street cars, partly burned
bridge, blocked car tracks. baIidaged
heaos, and two funerals Of slain Strik-
erS gave mute testimony OF the wrath
OF the strikers and supporters.
AS an offshoot Of the car strike, q
small crowd of men visited the foundry
OF Diebert, Bancroft & Ross, where q
strike has been on for two months, and
laid down barrage of brickhats. They
were dispersed by a police riot squad
before any damage was done beyond
broken window panes.
Serious Outbreaks Over.
Strike leaders claim there will be no
more serious outbreaks unless another
attempt Is made to operate street cars
by Strikebreakers, or unless more car
goes of outside workers are brought In.
A trainload of non n-union carmen were
parked outside of New Orleans today
after mobs of strikers and followers pre-
vented their detraining here last night.
Others were reported on the way from
the East and the strikers openly admit
they are prepared to welcome them with
brickbats if they come in.
Company of1cials declined to dis
close their plans, but their hands were
tied today by the order of the city COM
mission council to postpone further OPP
erations Of street cars that provoked the
riots Of yesterday.
Heavy police guards continued on
duty at the car barns, where small
groups of professional strikebreakers
were uuartered in temporary dormi-
tories. Union pickets were stationed
outside, but the crowds had thinned out.

DOUGHERTY URGES
COMMISSION AIDES
Would Create Two New Ex-
ecutive Positions to Handle
Routine Duties.

Creation of two new executive posi-
tions In the District government was
suggested by Commissioner Proctor L..
Dougherty yesterday to relieve the two
civilian Commissioners of major por-
ton of the routine and detailed duties
which occupy most of their attention.
1t Is the idea of Mr.. Dougherty that
the two new executives be Immediately
subordinate to the Commissioners, cor
responding to the engineer officers who
serve as Assistant Engineer Commits
sioners under the Engineer Commis-
sioner.
Mr.. Dougherty pointed out that so
much of the time Of the Commission
ers is taken up with the routine work
of the departments under their direct
supervision that it Is sometimes lmpos-
sible for them to confer with callers or
devote proper attention to the prep
aration of public addresses which they
are called upon to make from time to
time.
Outlines Duties.
A competent assistant, Commissioner
Dougherty pointed out, should be cap
able of handling 80 per cent OF the
routine work of each OF the c1villan
Commissioners leaving the major prob
lens, which constitute about 10 per
cent of the work, for the consideration
of the Commissioners. Thus, ne SAID,
the Commissioners could devote close
attention to study of these problems

was getting heavy. he was In a hurry, and he had to dc.
vote all OF his attention to driving. SO he sped on. and
In a few minutes he had left the strange new beauty

Now that sort Of thing is perfectly ordinary. to be sure.
Something similar happens every day. and II is hardly
worth noticing except for this one point: it emphasizes
how much our desire for speed causes us to miss.
To get things done quickly is a fine thing. The slug
gard is. and always has been. an unlovely creature. We
have SO many jobs OH hand that It's only natural for Us
to wear ourselves out trying to get them out Of the way

But all Of this hurry makes US miss a lot OF things that

There is more to life than tho simple accomplishment Of

Editorial Comment
The Ethics Of Friendship
(WashinRton STAR

Some political sage remarked once upon a time that
he could defend himself against his enemies II he could
only be protected from hts friends. Current events at
the Capitol seem to suggest that President Hoover Is in
need Of such security.
There is no hint that any Of the sugar tariff revela-
tons before the senate lobby committee disclose illicit
practices. or conduct that cannot be fully justified in
law. But It Is fairly clear that there was at least a
breach Of good taste and q sore strain on an influential
friendship when q foreign government. vitality interested
in legislation before congress, engaged as It's representa-.
tive the personal attorney" Of the president Of the Uni
ted States.
That the lawyer was expected to deliver the goods is
manifest from the statement that he was engaged on a
retainer OF $4,000 for roundly q years services. the exact
salary OF the president himself. Correspondence produced
before the lobby investigators contains frequent refer
ences to the Importance laid by his employers on the
capacity of President Hoover's personal attorney to
achieve results.
Whether the lawyer tried or failed to exploit his white
house contact for professional purposes Is rather be
side tho MARI. He asserts that he did not. But 1t is not
seriously commended from any quarter that he was en-
exalted quarters. In accepting the Job Of plotting through
congress a sugar tariff favorable TO his clients he must
have known that his high legal abilities were not the
sole occasion for his employment. He can doubtless
justify his retainer IS 4 strict matter Of legal practice
legitinatized by custom. But he Is on far thinner ice
when he skates across the ethics Of friendship. In the
case OF the president OF the United States. this Is very
thin and tender ice.
The president Is entitled to be preserved from friend
ships which do not with more thorough thoughtfuness
take into consideration how easily the good name and
high rcputc Of his office may Be compromised by actions
utterly beyond hts control.

Christmas Is one Of our oldest hol-
idays. The name Is q shortening
for Christ Mass or q mass In honor
Of the Christ.
Most Of the customs Of Christmas
are hundreds of years older than
Christmas, itself. In fact. the Christ
mas holiday has been called BY hts
torians - mingling Of heathendom
and Christiandom." In spite Of its
antiquity, Christmas still remains our
greatest, kindest, and most eagerly
awaited holiday.
The fact that the Christmas spirit
has endured for so many hundreds OF
years shows that the wish to make
others happy and to be open-hearted
is firmly nurtured in the ~yearnings Of
men, and we are never quite a. happy
as when bringing happiness to 9TH
crs.
The One figure which out-ranks all
others on Christmas v Is Santa
Claus. This name as we'll as the
chimney myth is thought to have
first found root In America among
the Pennsylvania Dutch who heartily
admired the fat old gentleman who
could scramble through the SCOT Of
the chimney without soiling his white
whiskers.
It is said that Saint Nicholas. who
vas the Bishop Of Myra. once heard
Of an old man who could not get his
three daughters married because they
had no doWry. Wishing to provide
the old maj with the money, the Bis
hop secretly dropped 1t down the old
mans chimney, where it obligingly
fell into m Of the daughters stock
ings, hung there to dry. From this.
the custom Of hanging up q stocking
on Christmas eve originated.
The Christmas tree was brought to
America first by the Hessians or Ger.
man soldiers. The custom Is original
" traced back to an old Teuton leg.
end Of q giant ash tree which held
the heavens in its mighty branches,
and In times Of feasting the Teutons
used to decorate small trees with
candles to represent the heavens:
golden balls and candles represent
ing the moon and stars were hung on
the branches, and long strings Of
popcorn were coiled around the tree
to represent the dragon, Nithboggr,
who writhed about the base Of this
great tree. From this, We have the
custom Of the Christmas tree and
the long strings Of popcorn or tinsel,
and the candles which are nov often
replaced by miniature electric lights.
