Buffalo, and others of the Marine Mid

trolling interest in IS banks in New
York State, announced last week, is
the first big step in that State. outside
the City of New York, to hold and
maintain banking integrity within

So it is fitting that the American
Bankers Association should meet in
San Francisco, the home of Mr.. Clan
mini, former fruit merchant, who be-
came the pioneer branch banker of the
United States.
AS the laws stand today it will be
branch banking in limited way, but
chain banking in a big way. II the
laws are changed to permit first, State
wide branch banking-and there are
many who believe this will be done
within the next two years in a ma
tority Of the States-then branch
banking will get under full steam.
This will be followed by merger of
banks in different States into q ma.
tional organization.
OF course, bankers talk about group
banking and consolidated banking and
branch banking. But it's really chain
banking that Is now permitted by law.
So chain banking is coming first.

EARNINGS ARE CLIMBING

I'VE estimate our August gross rev.
enues will be around $10,600,000 and
net income after fixed charges about
$3,700,000" said Arthur c., Needles,
president of Norfolk & Western Railway,
q few days ago. In August, 1928, gross
revenues were $9.073775 and net in
come was $2,799,996.
Our 1929 share earnings should ap-
proximate $24," continued Mr.. Needles.
Traffic so far in September is run
ming IA per cent ahead of last year,
due principally to increased coal load
ing. September gross and net should
be better than last year.
I'VE look for the coal movement to
continue good during the last quarter,
and anticipate last quarter revenues ap-
proximating those for the last quarter
of 1928, which were above the average"
In 1928 Norfolk & Western earned
$21.24 q share on 1,402,377 shares of
common stock and in 1927 $21.23 a
share was earned on 1,400,087 shares of

were in 1926 when $25.76 share was

In the absence of any adverse news
developments, Wall Street characterized
the reaction as further correction

Much of the selling is believed to have
represented the liquidation of impaired
marginal accounts, although short SELL
ing also was an important factor. With

lacked confirmation.
Weekly mercantile reviews were IA
vorable, stressing the stimulus given to

I'm noted for it. Show me the man who says
that Charles Percy CuthbertSon can't get sun
dial, and III give him the lie in his teeth.
That's where I'll give it him. In his teeth!"
And, as he seemed to be warming up bit,
we left it at that. I never dreamed that he
would make good, of course. You'll admit, I
think, Corky, that I'm a pretty gifted fellow:
but, If any one called upon me at practically
a moments notice to produce sunCial I
should be nonplussed Nevertheless, on the
morning of Myrtles birthday, heard a yodel
under my window, and there he was standing
beside wheelbarrow containing one Of the
incest sundialS had ever seen. 1t all seemed
to me more like magic than anything, and I
began to feel like Aladdin. Apparently my job
from now on was simply to rub the lamp and
the Stopper would do the rest.
There you are, my boy" he said busting
the thing off with a handkerchief and regard
ing it in fatherly sort of way you give
the little lady that and she'll let you cuddls
her behind the front door,"
She ought to like it, I agreed
"Of course, she'll like it. Shed better like
it, Show me a wholesome, sweet-minded Eng
lish girl who doesn't like a sundial and I'll
paste her on the nose," said the Stopper warm
ly. why, it's got a motto and everything"
And so it had In Old English letters Some

this thing over to the Hall this morning and
ask Myrtle and her father to tea here? One
ought to repay hospitality
Certainly" said the Stopper. And I'll make
the house a bower of roses"
Can you get the roses?'
Can get the roses! Don't keep asking me
if can get things. OF course, can get roses.
And eggs, too"
I'VE Shant want eggs
I'VE shall want eggs said the Stopper be-
ginning to hot up again. IF eggs are good
enough for me, they're good enough for the
pop-eyed daughter of blighted O. B. E. Or
don't you think SOP"
"Oh, quite, Uncle Percy quite" said.

Myrtle wasn't pop-eyed, but he didn't seem in
