Ruling on Banks

IeuAIhS OiA AB&AAho
Washington, Reb 5-(UP)-Na-
tional banks have no authority to
pledge securities to guarantee de-
posits of public funds the supreme
court held in an important decision
today.
The ruling was made on an ap-
peal brought by the city of Marion.
III, against the receiver Of the Cay
National bank in Herrin.
The case was of interest because
of the widespread practice of pub
lie officials when depositing public
funds, to have securities held by
the bank set aside to guarantee the
deposits.
In the Illinois case, Ray C. Car
roll, treasurer of Marion, deposited
city funds in the Herrin bank
which in turn deposited security
with the Continental Illinois Bank
& Trust Co.
When the Herrin bank closed,
Carroll had $16,130 on deposit. The
receiver of the bank brought suit
to have the pledge declared void.
The district federal court refused
his plea but divided circuit court
granted it. The supreme court up
held the circuit court.

FURS AND FUR
GARMENTS
By A. V. Mccormick
local FurrieT)

The Chinese and Japanese CLAIM
that they have used furs as articles
of luxury for at least $500 year.
(the Chinese probably longer). The!
have many winter garments admir-
ably lined with various rich furs
and it should not be forgotten thu
costumes of these great Empiles have
undergone little or not variation II
countless generations. 1t was there
fore doubtless from the East the
Greeks and Romans derived theii
love for costly skins. 1t is true that
owing in part to the mildness OF the
Athenian and Roman climates. fur
was rarely introduced into civil cos
tunes. although it was almost uni
versally so in military. and much
used to cover couches, and those
beautiful but rather chilly mosaic
floors.
Nero. as his historian Suetonius
narrates, usually sat upon an ivory
throne which stood upon the skin
of an African lion, whose head ad-
mirably stuffed. and looking as
though alive, served the terrible ty-
rant as a footstool. Hence rugs and
skins were in great demand in that
luxurious period which elapsed be-
tween the last years of the Roman
Republic and the fall of the Empire.
When a victorious emperor or war
rier returned in triumph to Rome
he usually brought with him an in
credible quantity of skins and hides
of wild animals. But although we
have a few busts and statues intact
of Roman Emperors wearing a ma
terial on their shoulders which looks
like fur, there is no indication un-
til the third century that it was en-
ployed for the ornamentation OF
dress. although. indeed. most prob
ably it was so. for the Innings of
winter coats and cloaks. In the
fourth century the fur of the beaver
or pontic dog as il was called. was
in great demand. also the ermine
which now begins to be included in
the regalia of the various newly
Christianized nations. The tribes of
Goths. Huns and Ostrogoths which
were migrating in such hosts from
the North. carried with them the
choice furs of the Arctic regions,
and during the middle ages they be-
came articles of luxury throughout
Central and Southern Europe. In
the crusading era, the warriors re-
turning home brought with them
many Oriental luxuries and among
them furs were conspicuous. Fur
of rare quality was, however, little
known in Western Europe until the
second and third centuries, when the
eruptions of the northern tribes
reached as far as Rome.
Gradually a trade in furs was
opened between the Romans of the
later empire and the northern tribes,
but no certain information can be
found older than the sixth century
upon this subject A writer of that
period speaks of the Septhians--a
name by which he designated the
people OF Sweden, Norway and Fin
land-as sending their celebrated
furs to Italian markets. 1t is a well
known fact that in. early times, furs
we're the sole wealth of these north
ern tribes. In them they paid their
axes, and we find various records
