University of Arizona (Tucson)
July 8. - Appreciation of the
beauty of the desert cactus has
inspired a new bulletin Color
Schemes of Cacti". 1t has just
been released for distribution by
the college of agriculture of the
university.
The bulletin was prepared by
John M. Breazeale of the faculty
of the college of agriculture and
according to Mr.. Breazeale it is
a pamphlet that is intended to
increase appreciation of the
beautiful in nature, rather than
to present any new biological
facts.
Color Scheme of Cacti" is
illustrated with color plates of
different specimens of the plant
and is only slightly technical in
nature. The cacti that have
been studied represent the plants
that have grown as response
to natural conditions on the
desert and not through the aid
of cultivation.
The bulletin is rich in desorip
ton of the desert growth and

JADW|N To HEAD
POWER BOARD

President Hoover yesterday
nominated Maj. Gen. Edgar Jad-
win, retired, former chief of
army engineers. for chairman Of
the Federal Power Commission.
His nomination will be sent to
the Senate for a confirmation
now or at the special session.
The President announced that
he had not yet selected the other
members of the commission, but
he would do so as soon as pos
Sible.
General Jadwin has spent most
Of a long army career in the
Engineer Corps, and is specially
familiar with the countrys water
ways where power is now being
developed, or may be in the flu
ture.
When the commission is COM
plete, it will supplant the old one
which since 1920 has supervised
the expenditure Of about $780,
100000 for power developments.
In the new commission, appli-
cations for power plants are to be
placed in the hands of five $10,-
000-a-year men who may have no
other occupation. Nor may they
have, according to the act, been
conne1 1ed in any way with, or
hold eny stock in, power COM

tions are pending before the COM
mission.

noted for it's wild gyrations. In
1927 it shot up from 5534 to 1871,
then had a precipitate drop to

year, when, after reaching a new

D. c. BANKS GAIN
IN DEPOSITS
REPORTED
By JOHN e. NEvIN, JR.


A call issued by the comptroller
of currency today to Washington
banks revealed that a steady in
crease in deposits has been going
on since the last call some months
ago. Increases ranging from
nearly. $2,500,000 to $114,000 ap-
proximately were reported.
Heading the list Of the banks
which forged ahead in the past
three months was the Riggs Ma
tional Bank, with deposits
amounting to $50,9o3, ,1lS.04. Of
ficials of the institution said that
this was an increase Of approx
mately $2,239, 900.
The American Security and
Trust Company reported deposits
agregating $30,396, ,628.56 amount
ing to a gain of $1,194,915 since
the last call.
The District National Bank re-
ported a gain with deposits ag-
gregating $8,807 ,214.55. Another
bank that reported gain was
q the Franklin National Bank with
an increase of $114,378.28 and
deposits amounting to $4,948,-
S84.31.
The Federal American Bank
reported that deposits of the in
stitution had slumped slightly
since the last call. The deposits
of the institution amounted to
$11,435.30 a drop of about
$950,000, officials said.
The National Metropolitan Bank
was another institution that
showed a gain over the period.
Deposits aggregating $18,040,-
438.15 were reported, making a
net gain of $1,518,723.83.
The Second National Bank also
gained in deposits during the
period between calls, according to
officials, who reported deposits of
$6,431 ,537.20.
Bankers declared that there
was a marked increase in deposits
over the last call, but explained
that this was due to the fact
that the call had been issued
during the Christmas season,
when deposits were withdrawn
and accounts stripped to pay off
holiday expenses.
However, they explained that a
larger amount Of new accounts
had been developed during the
period, which aided greatly in
raising the amount of deposits.

NEW Gas BASIS
ADVOCATED

A growing body Of opinion in
utility circles favoring radical
revision in the methods used to
measure gas and on which to base
domestic and industrial rates has
become noticeable in the past few
weeks. Based to large extent
on the growing utilization OF
natural gas with its higher heat
content, utility companies, State
and Federal agencies are begin
ming to express dissatisfaction
with the present rate structures.
based as they are on the cubic
foot standard, and are beginning
to advocate a change to the
English system which takes into
consideration the heat content of
the gas sold.
So far the Peoples Gas, Heat
and Coke Company of Chicago is
the only utility which has act
ually been reported as having
made application for a change
in its rate structure according to
this principle, but the subject is
the cause of considerable discus
sion in gas circles and has re-
ceived the approval Of q number
of authorities in scientific and
Government positions.
The Chicago utility Is soon to
receive natural gas through the
gigantic pipe line project spon'
sored by the insult and Cities
Service interests. It is planned
to bring the natural fuel to Chi
cago from Texas fields and the
Peoples Gas, Heat and Coke Will
distribute it to it's consumers in
a mixed form, thus raising con.
siderably the heat content of it's
manufactured gas.
Sale of natural gas on the cubic
foot basis by utility which has
previously been distributing only
the manufactured product might
materially reduce the gross rev.
enue from gas sales if new uses
for the fuel were not developed
fast enough. Some indication of
this was recently made by the
Pacific Gas and Electric Com.
pany, which recently brought nat
ural gas from the Kettleman Hills
field into its territory. For this
reason, it is thought advisable
either to increase the rate per
1000 cubic feet or to change the
entire rate structure and to sell
the gas according to heat content
or "therm."

MINING CONFAB
IS RENEWED

NEW YORK, July 2 H.N.s0.
The joint conference of anthra-
cite operators and miners aiming
to negotiate a new agreement
continued their sessions today
with an amicable spirit.
The discussion included the
general economic situation and
its effect on the coal industry
and a broad exchange of the
views of both sides.
The chief demands of the
miners are maintenance Of pres
ent wage scales and equalization
of work.
An agreement is not expected
to be arrived at for several weeks.
The present agreement expires
on September /. John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine
Workers, will arrive here next
Monday.
