STATE To TAKE
DEAD DEPOSITS

ANNAPOLIS, March 4.-Plans
for legislation which would enable
the State to take over all I'M
claimed bank deposits which
total around $3.50, 000-Were be-
ing discussed here today.
Bankers are understood to favor
such plan, for the cost of carry
ing these accounts on the books
is a great problem, it was pointed
out.
Attorney General Herbert r.
O'Conor is working on legislation
which would enable the State to
take over the money, and it is
expected some plan will be pre-
sented to the General Assembly
this week.
Pointing out that many of these
dead accounts" have been in the
banks for 20 years or more and
that it is highly doubtful if any
rightful claimant will ever appear,
Mr.. O'Conor said the State needs
the money badly at this time.
Safeguards would be drawn up,
he said, to protect lawful heirs to
the money if they should ever
appear and prove their rights.

MAN No ANIMAL,
SAYS PASTOR

Ridicule of the perverted phi
losophy" which classes man as an
animal, but a supernatural, the
best exhibit in natures ZOO, was
voiced by DR.. John Cartwright,
pastor of the Immaculate Concep-
ton Church in his radio sermon
to the sick yesterday.
DR.. Cartwright's sermon, the
fifth in a series on God and the
Progress of Mankind" was on
Infancy of Human Society,"" He
cited the differences between man
and animals, and said:
"The central and most per.
verted idea in all this philOsO-
ply Of history is the notion that
man is an animal, q highly de-
veloped animal and q specialized
one.
"The skull of man is like the
skull of an ape-the difference
is only in refinement. Mans
brain is less fitted to give the
body balance, for man does not
use the trees for habitatiOn. But
1t 10 fitted to solve problems Of
arithmetic, and to develop
speech. All these changes the
scientist tell us about are only
developments and improve
mentS."
Opposed to this philosophy, DR.
Cartwright pictured man as the
child of God,
