He had no excuse to offer me for his
laxity except that he was too tired.
And knew of no reason to be tired
when the watch was four hours on
and eight off. This man, new at the
business of being Quartermaster, was,
of course. disrated, for we have no
place on shipboard for lazy man.
The men we meet at sea are no diff

have the same characteristics, but are
developed along different lines. Sue
cess or failure In life, whatever the vo-
cation, depends solely on the man him
self.
About year ago young man from
an orphanage who had desire to go
to sea after brief experience on
farm, came to me. He was II years
old, good looking and smart. I signed
him on as a seaman. He did not know
it, but I was keeping my eye on him.
He was ambitious. He was big husky
lad and took all jobs as they came.
He was always in the company OF
sailors while off watch and ashore. He
apparently enjoyed their companion
ship, and listened and kept his eyes
open. Soon he was ready for promo
ton and by the end of the year -
was quartermaster. Now he is learn

ment process to keep a crew up to the
maximum of efficiency. These changes
are in the hands Of the department
heads and are seldom brought to the
attention of the captain.
Every ship has three departments
the deck, engineering and steward de-
partments. Modern day machinery has
become so complicated that the chief
engineer now has as many responsible
tiles as the master
In the deck department rests the re-
sponsibilitieS for the safe navigation OF
the vessel. for its safety equipment
and the radio room, where operators
are constantly on watch while at sea
They are responsible also for the radio
compass and are called on to work this
instrument In conjunction with the CAL
culations of officers on the bridge.
The largest group, from the stand
point of personnel, is the stewards de-
partment. which Is responsible for the
feeding and general comfort and well
fare of the voyagers. The pursers de-
partment is headed by the purser and
his assistant. who act as paymasters

Quartermaster LATEST Man.
1t is not often that I come in direct
contact with many of the men en-
ployed on my ship, with the possible
exception of those engaged in duties
on the bridge. The safe navigation of
the vessel depends upon the men in this
department. yet, strange to say, one
of the LATEST men believe I have ever
encountered was quartermaster on
one of my ships.
At the particular time I happened to
see him at work he did not have
enough energy to turn the wheel and
keep the ship on the prescribed course.

have been asked what part I have
played in making rescues at sea as cap
tain of vessel My answer is that
do comparatively little when the whole
job is considered. A ship is very much
like big building that houses large
business organization of several hun
6red men. Unless that organization
functions smoothly and has men of
ability in the ranks, it is doomed as a
commercial failure.
A vessel is no different. The cap
tain is. indeed. like the president of a
big corporation. He cannot supervise
the work of every one in the organiza-
ton. so he deals directly with the heads
of the departments.
One of my rules is to keep every one
busy while on watch and to create the
impression that a certain amount of
work must be done in a given time
This work must be done in ship shape

Why Some Banks Crash

have permitted State banks to buy up
local banks and to convert them into
branches. There are an increasing num-
Der OF bankers who are coming to the
view that true diversiflcation and safety
in the banking business In the United
States will be obtained only when the
large city banks are permitted to es-
tablish branches In various parts Of the
country, thereby bringing TO the rural
communities the strength, safety and
equipment of the large city bank and
thus making it possible for q branch
banking system to ebsorb the shock of
local economic depressions. For exam
pie q local drought causing q general
loss Of crops in a certain community,
while causing a sufficient economic de-
preston to make o local bank fail,
would not seriously affect q branch sys-
TEN operating there. because the branch
system would be supported by pros
,perity in other communities.
Branches Instead Of Units.
We shall no doubt witness in the
near future a strongly Endorsed move
ment for national legislation permitting
branch banking to replace the present
system OF unit banks. There are no
strong economic arguments against
branch banking, but there have been a
great many sentimental objections
raised, growing out Of the idea that the
local unit bank is an expression Of the
American. idea of local independence
and that 1t should be preserved.
The support of our banking system
Is In the large banks. Although few IN
number, they hold most Of the banking
resources. It Is on this account that
our general banking strength today Is
more powerful than 1t ever WIS. Bank
failures have not affected the general
banking situation to any appreciabIe ex-
tent, although they have played havoc
locally

cial centers. The principal customers
of the old-tine small town bank have
slowly but surely been taken away and
the financing transferred to the large
city banks. Under the old conditions it
could develop sound banking business
because It was possible to diversity its
business. The local community itself
was we'll rounded. self-Sustaining body
supporting many types Of independent
business. Now. while the business out
put today is in still greater volume so
far as the distribution Of goods Is con-
cerned, it Is not dependent upon the
local banker for loans to support 1t. On
account of these economic changes the
majority OF the banks through the
United States outside of the metropolis
tan centers are either operating at d
loss or are not making fair earnings on
invested capital.
Leftover System.
It indeed appears strange that in a
country possessing the greatest finan-
cial strength in the world and Witness
ing yearly great increases in national
wealth and the expansion Of its IMAM
cial responsibilities 1t should still pos
sess and attempt to maintain o system
of banking which has been left over
from bygone generation and Is no
longer adapted to the needs Of the pub
lie or Of our business. We did not adopt
the national budget system In this coun-
try until the World War had placed
such a burden OF taxation upon our
citizens that they were compelled to
take an interest In the method Of Fed
eral expenditures. Must we then walt
for a greater financial disaster than the
failure of 5000 banks before the public
will demand q stronger and better sys-
TEN of banking?

approximately 1913, although the an
rlllal return to workers IN other felds
has increased frern 1855 to $3.50 IN
the same period.
In the last seven years there has been
a net loss Of more than 5000, 600 IN
farm population. Bankruptcy took g
great toll since 1905-'14. It averaged
/ ID to every 1000 farms, and In 1924
rs the average was up TO 1.22.
Most OF these facts require interpre-
tation and qualification, but they ct
least make clear the seriousness Of the
situation as It affects the farmer.
Added to the farmers other troubles
is the feet that In Europe there is q
steadily decreasing demand for our
farm products which contributes to
overproduction. This and increased

deflation are vital contributory facts in
this great problem.
