Travel of Seeds

Seeds of grass are carried by air
currents 200 to 5000 feet above
the earth to great distances, Mrs.
Agnes Chase of the Smithsonian
Institution, told the Botanical So
ciety Of Washington last night at
the Cosmos Club.
The seeds were sent to the in
Stitute by an entomologist in
Louisiana, she said, who used an
airplane to let out traps at vari-
Gus levels to catch bugs. But with
the bugs the traps also caught

FAKE BUY NOW

Warning against fraudulent
''Buy Now" campaigns, staged by
promoters with funds provided by
gullible citizens, has been issued
by Brig. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson
National Recovery Administrator
He said:
"The arguments employed by
these promoters in the SOlicita-
tiOn Of funds SO closely parallel
the Buy Now appeal of the
Government, employed in the
recovery campaign, that strong
implication is created that these
efforts are made under the
auspices of the Government.
"It should be known that the
Government has not designated
to any individuals or corpora

the subject Of spectacular exposures,
but can say without reservation that
they were In no way typical of the acts
and attitudes of the vast majority of
their fellow bankers. The public mind
was shocked into the belief that these
untypical instances were far more rep
resentative than they really were. and
this belief has been encouraged by po-
litical and demagogic elements.
The Bankers Today
The bankers who are in charge of
our banks today represent men who
withstood the temptations and avoided
the economic pitfalls of the great
boom. If they had not they would not
be there, or their banks would not
have been able to survive the rack and
ruin of the economic hurricane, by
which even many banks and bankers,
whose conduct was above reproach,
have been destroyed. The other types
of bankers, those that fell below the
and business prudence that character
lied those that remain, have passed
out of the picture. But they have left
for those that remain difficult herit-
age of suspicion and i'll will
How irrational this is, when we re-
fleet that not more than three or four
per cent Of our entire population suf-
fered personal loss because of what
any banker did or neglected to do,
whereas literally millions of bank de-
positors did not lose single cent as
a result of banking difficulties and
really owe vote of confidence and
thanks to their own bankers who were
true to the highest conceptions of their
stewardship and brought their institu.
tions and their customers safely
through the greatest business disaster
the world has ever seen. 1t has been
a peculiar feature of the psychological
distortion of the times that many who
owe nothing but gratitude to their
bankers joined in blaming the banker
far out of proportion with any rational
consideration of the facts.

Propose Big License
For Isle Royal Moose.

j. T. Nachazel of Houghton, believes
that the best solution of possible
population of moose on Isle Royale
would be the permitting of a single
open hunting season on the island.
81 agree with DR.. Adolph Murie OF
Ann Arbor that some of the moose
should be destroyed" said Mr.. Mach
azel, 'fbut disagree with his suggestion
that conservation department men
should do the destroying.
A better way would be the issuance
of 500 licenses to hunters at 500 per
license. Let them eliminate the surplus
and at the same time pay $4,000 to the
state, which would go a long way to-
ward securing necessary buildings and
providing compensation for the con-
servation department men that are now
stationed on the island.
Hunters are willing to pay a nomin-
al fee, and season open for year, on
both bull and COW moose, would pay
for itself as well as the one-deer law
for a year."

EXAMINATIONS FOR
TRUST INSTITUTIONS
New Move by Federal Banking
Authorities Welcomed by
Banks and Trust Com
panies, Says Bankers
Organization

FEDERAL examination of trust de-
partments Is the latest develop
ment in banking supervision and trust
companies and banks operating trust
departments are welcoming this de-
velopment because it fills a long-felt
want, it is stated by the Trust Division
of the American Bankers Association.
Despite the growing Importance Of
American trust business in recent
years examining officials have never
given to trust departments the atten-
ton paid to commercial banking de-
partments, this authority points out.
Now the Federal Reserve System, in
conjunction with the Comptroller Of
the Currency, has undertaken to bring
the examination of trust departments
up to the level of commercial bank ex-
aminations, 1t says.
Experts in trust work are being en-
ployed by the various Federal Reserve
Banks. These experts will head the
special stats of trust examiners In the
twelve Federal Reserve Districts. Spe-
cial stats are already at work in some
of the Reserve Districts, including
Boston, Atlanta, Richmond and Chi
cago. The Federal Reserve will ex-
anime the trust departments of state
chartered members Of the Reserve Sys-
tenn.
Uniform Supervision
Meanwhile, the Comptroller of the
Currency has built up over the past
two years staff of special examiners
for the trust departments Of national
banks. All national banks are members
Of the Federal Reserve System. Since
nearly all state-chartered trust institu.
lions are members of the Reserve Sys.
tenn the new plan will bring about
what amounts to Federal examination
for the trust business.
State examining authorities probably
will follow Federal supervisory policies
to a considerable extent. Hence, coor-
dination of the procedure of the nation
al banking system and the Federal Re-
serve System is expected to result in
q uniform system of examinations for
trust departments in all banks. This in
turn 8 hould produce considerable
