Safe Banks

Not one bank has failed in the United
States this year. The comptroller of the
currency cites this fact as "a striking EVIL
dence Of recovery" 1t Is largely that, no
doubt. II Is also an evidence of the re.
form of bad bank practices, and of the
value of bank deposit insurance. The fact
that not a dollar has been lost since this
insurance went into effect will reassure
those who feared that insurance would
result in careessness and heavy losses. II
may be possible to reduce the insurance
rates.
The enormous increase In the amount
of bank deposits" remarked by the comp
troller probably comes as much from the
greater security felt by depositors as
from actual recovery" All these things,
however, hang together. And when the
new sense of security extends to the
bankers themselves, SO that they feel as
safe in lending for legitimate purposes ~
they formerly did, the recovery will be
complete

Perhaps the best news that has come
forth In long time Is that scientists and
chemists believe they have found para
sitical worm which will prey on the Jap.
anese beetle. II Is the Nematoda which
deposits It's own eggs In the beetle larvae.
When matched the beetle grub will be de-
stroyed. The first discovery was made In
1929 and repeated experiments have
shown that in all cases the Japanese beetle
grub has succumbed to the young Of the
Nematoda. II the insects can be bred in
sufficient quantities the value to the crops
of the nation will be tremendous. or re-
cent years the insect pests that prey on
our various vegetables seem TO be on the
increase rather than the wane. All ef-
forts to control the spread have proved
unavaiing We only hope that this new
parasite which will gobble up the bugs
that gobble up the corn, beans etc, won't
take liking TO some crop and feast
thereon instead of merely on the beetles
themselves. Incidentally this Nematoda
is so minute you can't see it without the
aid of microscope. Please, oh please,
Mr. Nematoda, do your work thoroughly,
but stop just ut beetle determination.

Six months ago 1t was plainly stated
that the ultimate outcome Of the fight that
Senator Lonergan was making to control
patronage disposal in Connecticut might
mean the loss Of DR. Edward G. Dolan's
position as Internal Revenue Collector,
but the retention of Frank Bergin as dis
trict attorney and Fannie Dixon WEIGH
as customs collector. Well that lineup
seems to be unchanged right now. There
is every possibility that this will be the
solution Of the patronage row in which
Senator Lonergan, at one time expected
to play merely the part of onlooker, now
looms as the principal. That the demo.
cratic senator will practically dictate the
setup seems assured right now. It'll be
done quickly, too, for adjournment of con-
gress is expected momentarily. Therefore,
the state can expect some excitement with

Advertisement Alp bearing in Seattle Paper Is

Gov. John w. Troy today started an investigation to discover the source of an employment agency advertisement appearing in recent issues of a Seattle newspaper which is described as having the earmarks of a ~come-on7 scheme. It appar- ently originated at Seward.
 The Governors attention was called to the "ad" by Charles D. Garfield, Secretary of the North west Mining Association. He feared it might lead to an influx of labor that was not justified by existing conditions.
 The advertisement as quoted by him. said. WORK IN ALASKA: s5 to s1O daily. Wonderful scenery, excellent climate, fishing hunting, etc. For detailed information con- corning actual labor conditions anywhere in Alaska, send sl to the Alaska Information Bureau, Sew ard, Alaska"
