the present controller has carefully
CONSIDERED the economic necessity for
banking institution in the locality
selected, its chances for successful Gu
Grafton, and the competence Of its pro-
posed management Under this revised
system, only 70 charters for new ma
tional banks have been issued since
OConnor took office about four years
ago. Seven of these were issued dur
ing 1885 and five have been issued
during the current year.
As result Of this constructive pro-
gram OF rehabilitation. the entire bank
ing structure of the United States has
been set firmly upon its own legs again.
and public confidence has been re-
stored. National bank failures are prac-
tlcally thing of the past. only nine
national banks having failed since the
banking holiday and one during the
past 2l months-a 55-year record.
If better proof were needed of the
tremendous improvement which has
taken place, it is apparent in the fig
ureS for total deposits in national
banks On December 81. 1885, deposits
reported for all national banks were
higher than at any previous time in
the history of the system. They
amounted to S24847. 1913 coo. while the
previous high record of December 81,
1928. had been s24347. 100000. 1t is
significant that on December 81. 1885.
there were 1892 banks in operation. or
2,243 fewer than on December 81.
1928.
For the next three successive calls"
deposits continued to show an in
crease until, on December 81, 1886.
they reached the sum of s27 500. .397 900
in 5,33l banks-the highest figures
ever reported. On March 81. 1897.
the date of the last call deposits
showed decrease of sl093 $4,000 for
5,3ll banks from the date of the pre-
vlous call. But. as survey of call re-
port data indicates consistently that
deposits decline for the Spring call,
this Is not considered significant The
Office of the controller is required by
law to make not less than three calls
year upon national banks for reports
Of their condition, and it is customary
for four calls to be made.
IN THE earnings of banks, or the
met additions TO profits" as they
are designated on the reports, may be
found further evidence of the recov-
cry which has been made. For the
calendar year 1890, the consolidated
returns of all national banks showed
net additions to profits of sl584l1,OO

CAVALIER AREA is LOVELY
Suggested Journey Takes Moor Through Tobacco Fields and
Historical Country, Including Town First Settled Under
Royal Charter to Lord Baltimore.
Bv James Nevin Miller.

T TOW about a Journey tOmOr-
- row through pictures sque
Southern Maryland? What
a ever your motoring tastes, you
ought TO enjoy yourself thoroughly.
Here is one of the finest tobacco
regions in the entlre world and
veritable paradise for fishermen, es-
pecially those who like to indulge IN
this sport from motor boats. Mother
will be enthusiastic about the almost
countless points of historical interest
in the nelghborhood Of st, Marys
City; the youngsters will want to
cavort around one or more of the
beach play places in the vicinity of
Chapel Point, and the entire family
will welcome the opportunity to un-
pack picnic lunch In any one of
the deeply forested recreation CEN
ters that dot the region.
One of the most pleasant factors
about this journey Is that you'll find
it necessary to traverse not single
large city with congested traffic.
Clip the strip map on this page eS-
pecially prepared for The Star by the
American Automobile Association, and
your trip will be easy to follow and
brlmful of interesting things to see
and do.
Chances are you won't find time to
visit all the places mentioned here
in one trip. But if not. what matter?
Try to get an early start, say. around
8 30 or 3 am, and then be An op-
portunist Take look al all the
towns and recreation places that you
have time for, and later in the Sum
mer, perhaps, try to drive to those
points you missed on your initial
journey.
A friendly suggestion Is to follow
route all the way to Waldorf and
then, because of roadway construc-
ton along route at this point shift
TO route 3 and follow that all the way
to Rock Point.
EIRST of all, drive down Pennsyl-
vanla avenue until you reach
Eleventh street southeast. Ride this
across the Anacostia Bridge and past
the public golf course, and then,
Just beyond the bridge, take a left
turn at the first traffic light. You're
now on Good Hope road and route S.
Turn sharply right when you see a
sign La Plata 26," You're now on
Taylor road, a splendid stretch of
newly surfaced highway, and in a
minute or SO you see large sign to
the right saying, Welcome to Mary
land. Enjoy your visit. Drive care
fully. Speed limit, As miles"

and Michigan players were rather
slower in putting the ball in play after
a score than the Pacific Coast colleg-
ians, they have done very well and
have proven to the Far Westerners
that, with or without the center jump.
the Big Ten can play basket ball with
any section of the country.
It is hoped that the basket ball rules
makers will give the elimination Of
the center Jump serious consideration
at their next session. The only COM
plant the writer can find with the
Pacific Coast game is that 1t demands
such constant speed small squad no
longer can play through an entire
contest. But that Is no serious handi-
cap, since it provides opportunity for
more boys to get in the game.
The one drawback to popularity OF
basket ball on the Pacific Coast Is the
lack of commodious field houses and
gymnasiums However, the sport Is
growing so rapidly in general interest
that those facilities are bound to come
in the near future.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1937-01-07
Jump Twice Only.

As the game is played out here. the
ball is tossed up at center at the start
Of the two halves and when there is
a held ball. At all other times the
ball is put in play by the team scored
upon, under the basket, and there Is
no slackening of the game in any way.
This style of play removes the pre-
MUM from tall centers. In other sec
tors. particularly the Middle West
and South, coaches are obliged to
search for centers ranging from feet
4 inches upwards. A center Of lesser
height is of little practical value. In a
close game, tall center, able to COM
mand the tip-of1, usually takes COM
mand of a game in the closing mo-
ments and prevents any whirlwind
finishes such as were seen in the games
here. So the "jumpless" game not only
speeds up play but equalizes the
contest.
Without the center jump. the game
swings strongly to the offensive side
and, while the Pacific Coast teams
are not the equal of Big Ten fives in
defensive play, they are keen shooters
and you find few low-score contests
in this region.

BY FRANCIS J. POWERS.

LOS ANGELES, Calf, January T.
Out here on the Pacific Coast the
colleges have eliminated the center
jump from basket ball and the game
Is much faster and more interesting
than in other sections where they
play according to the rule book.
Your correspondent saw two
"jumpless" games recently and both
were free scoring affairs and went into
overtime periods. Basket ball is Just
coming into its own as a spectator
sport out this way and those games
had some 5000 on their feet for more
than 80 minutes of spirited play.
In the first game, Washington won
from University of California at Los
Angeles, So to 81, in two overtime pc
RODS, and then Ohio State came along
and defeated Southern California, 40
to SO, in one extra stanza. In the two
games total of 18l points were scored
and, in the overtime between the
Trojans and Buckeyes. Is points were
hoped In the added five minutes.

Boxing Crown.

)INCINNATI, January R.-
Little the worse for wear in
"a 10-round victory over
frankie Covelli, Freddie Mil
Ter, former N. B. A. featherweight
champion, was ready today for the
second step Of his comeback trail-a
bout Monday night at Louisville, KY,
with Jimmy Vaughan.
Miller, fighting at 1271a, one and
one half pounds over the feather
limit, had little difficulty last night in
gaining the judges decision over the
Brooklyn puncher, who weighed in at
the same figure.
Both Miller and Covelli have been
cycling return engagements with Petey
Sarron, who captured the Cincin-
natian's crown last May. Vaughan,
lightweight hopeful, defeated Miller
shortly thereafter.
Appearing in perfect shape. Miller
won the first five rounds handily.
firing in the sixth, he took a num-
Der of Covelli's windmill punches,
and although on the defensive
through the last four stanzas, never
was in danger.
