TRUST BANKING
SPREADING FAST
Government Official Shows
That This Type of Financial
Service Is Enlarging
Its Field

SPECTACULAR growth of trust
~ service in the banking field is re-

Aubrey B. Carter, in charge Of Trust
department supervision in the office
of Comptroller Of the Currency, Wash
ington, D. c., brings out in an article
in the American Bankers Association
Journal.
cat the close of the 1880 fiscal year
there were 2,472 national banks with
trust powers" he says. "Their banking
resources aggregated $23,529, 100, 900.
which represented "a per cent Of the
number of banks and 80 per cent Of
the total banking resources of the 1882
national banks. Trust departments
had been established by 1929 Of these
banks which were administering 1880
individual trusts with trust assets ag-
gregating $4,473, 100000 and in addi-
ton were administering 1850 corp0-
rate trusts and acting as trustees for
outstanding note and bond issues ag-
gregating $11,S03, 100000.

increase of $9,340,000,o 900, or a7s per

WHAT are the proper ingre-
w dents to make a successful
summer? If the young people
who betake themselves to the sea-
side or moul inns we're answering
this question, they would probably
breathlessly enumerate: Boat
ing, dancing, golf, hunting, hiking,
motoring, swimming, tennis and
other outdoor sports. Plenty of
sunshine and good weather. And,
oh, yes, of course-good food"
That last item would probably
come first il the question were
answered by the responsible older
person who has to make careful
plans in order to be sure that the
food is good. One of the most
efficient ways to be sure of this is
to take along an adequate supply
of canned foods with you, and,
like good general who guards
his line Of supplies, to leave your
address with your grocer, and
make note of his so that you
can replenish your stock of foods
at any time.
The Essential Foods
An adequate supply Of good
milk is, of course, essential. You
can take this along in the form
of dried, evaporated OF condensed
milk, all of which comes from
cows whose health has been tested
and certified by Government ex-
perts. Unsweetened evaporated
milk is now more and more widely
used for babies, as we have
the authority Of such scientists
as McKim Marriott. MD. and
Ludwig Schoenthal, Dr.Med., and
many others that from the nutri-
tional standpoint it is the full
equivalent of pasteurized or boiled
whole cows milk.
That point settled, how about
the vegetables? For quick and in
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1931-08-21

expensive preparation you should
take along some tomatoes, peas,
corn and beans. Asparagus, beets,
carrots and spinach should also be
included. Why not depend on the
local products? The pick Of them,
as you must know, are now
shipped to the cities.
As for fruits-peaches, pears,
pineapples and apricots should
head your list of them, but there
are also lots of others that you
may want to take along. Finally
you should have some fish-espe-
cially up in the mountains.
Canned salmon, tuna, Goldfish,
mackerel and sardines are all
tasty and valuable for their iodine
content, and a few cans Of meat
will help matters, too.
They Make You Independent
Thus prepared you need not
hesitate to work up as big an
appetite as you please. When you
come in hungry from long hike,
a strenuous tennis match, or many
holes of golf, it's mighty con-
venient to have a can of Irish
stew, sausage, veal loaf or roast,
or even beef steak with onions all
ready to be heated and eaten up.
Here are some recipes for the
use OF some of the canned foods
which we have suggested. Remem-
Der, too. that they save time and
labor, and enable you to spend
your days outdoors with the
others instead Of painfully per-
spring over the hot stove in your
summer cottage or bungalow.
The following recipes are both
quick and economical, and these
dishes will go far toward filling
the aching void.
