ture."
The statement was included in a
report of the associations Executive
Committee, submitted by Chairman
GurneN P. Hood. commissioner of
banks for North Carolina.
Mr., Hood explained the figure was
based on the market value Or pur-
chase price of securities and that
the capital structure" meant the
banks themselves.
He said: Every effort should be
made to build up surplus to the end
that a safer dividend policy may be
established"
1T would seem desirable that
some limitations be placed on bond
purchases by statute or regulation
but this is matter which must be
worked out by the State systems, -

her with a $60-a-month laboratory

She permitted doctors to inject
her with billions OF additional germs

latlon in religion, and attendants

today. in sharp contrast to the 1885,
600 ballots counted in this city of
4l5.000 population II. the November,
1885. general election.
Some political observers termed the
decline Of $4,000 in registrations q
purge Of the ghosts who stalked
Kansas City's election booths in the
1896 election.
Fifty election officials have been
convicted by the Government OF
fraud in the 1896 ballot and ll2 await
trial on similar charges.
General registration closed yester-
day for the March primary, in which
a coalition candidate pledged to
honest elections" will oppose Mayor
Brice B. Smith. Endorsed by the
powerful Thomas j. Pendereast
Democratic organization for re-elec-
tiOn
The coalition candidate, Col. Fred
Whitten-an independent Democrat
World War veteran and attorney
has the support OF independent Demo-
Gratis and Republicans. He pledged
himself TO help rid Kansas City Of
election GHOSTS"
Reminiscent OF gunplay and slug
sings in recent Kansas City cleo
lions. yesterdays registration brought
charges by Mrs. Ethelyn Harmon. a
Republican judge, that a Democratic
worker struck her when she chal-
lenged an applicant. Police said the
man admitted he slapped Mrs. Har.
mon because Il just lost my temper" >"
Heaviest declines were liz the nearly
solid Democratic precincts in North
Kansas City. where registrations
dropped nearly 50 per cent in some
instances.
In naming the new Bi-partisan
Election Board here Gov. LLOYD C..
Stark ignored suggestions OF the
Pendergast faction. which has con-
trolled the City Hall since 1926. or
the 256 coo votes counted here in
1886. 10000 were Democratic and
$4,000 Republican.
