Part of Nationwide Program of Bank ing Development PHILADELPHIA. - Fifteen hundred hankers from fifteen eastern states met here in January In a two day conference devoted to discus slona on legislative, manageiial, operating and public relations problems of the hanking business. This was the first ot a series of meetings planned by the American Bankers Association in its nationwide program of hanking development under the leadership of Robert V. Fleming, president of the association Similar confeiences will be held in southern and western sections of the country. "U is the purpose ot these working Conferences to bring to association members and other bankers a thorough knowledge of the changes in banking laws and rules, provide discussion of betlei public relations so that theie shall be greater cooperation and understanding between the banket anil bis customers, and to give oppoi lunity foi a survey of the problems incident to the Government s competition with our chartered institutions, he said. To Help Government (Juit Banking The discussions at the conference showed that the hankers are ready to make it easiei for the Government to relinquish many of its emergency financial services as soon as possible by demonstrating how their institutions are able to render full banking facilities. Bankers generally have recog nized that in times of emergency the Government had to come to the assistance of the people where chartered institutions were unable to do so on account of such condl tions, Mr. Fleming said. They also realize that possibly many functions which the Government Is perform ing are of a nature which cannot be handled by chartered institutions under fundamental principles of sound banking, On the other hand, he said, we ins; them 8,MW,ld 3urvey a11 emergency lend ence We measures ot the Government to L.R, 0 judge which or these activities can i be properly and soundly taken over i 23rd di by nanks.

To prove bis point he cited earn Inge figures which showed that. In the year ended June 30, 1934, for the United States as a whole, na tlonal banks used $14.89 out of each of net operating earnings, taxes, in payment of taxes; but ia ieven of the twelve Federal Districts the percentage of earnings used tor taxes was above the average. It was In practically these same seven districts that the greatest number of bank failures occurred In those hectic years from , 6yS m be-to- e lt to 1933. As an example of how far taxation cef go, he quoted official figures chewing that in 1934 a large number of.emall state banks paid on the average $34.20 of every $100 of op erellng profits for taxes. Mr. My lender urged that there be broughi home to the average American the truth that banks, deal tag as they do only in Intangible property, are not proper subjects foe property taxation; that the true of a bank's ability to pay tbeearnings it can make. self-evide- mmtesure WHEN BANK CROOKS J SHOW PREFERENCES The American Bankers Association reports that banks suffer twice the percentage of burglaries and hold up robberies as compared with members.

It may refer to the volatile ethereal liquid tliut is the essen tial constituent of certain beverages From the organic chemists viewpoint, says Thomas M. Beck In the Chicago Tribune, it refers to a whole class of compounds which consist of a string of carbon atoms, attached to which are a number of hydrogen atoms, and In addition an OH (oxygen anil hydrogen) group. The simplest of these alcohols Is that containing one carbon atom, known us methyl or wool alcohol. That containing two carbon atoms is ethyl or drinking alcohol. A commonly known one, still higher In the series, Is amyl alcohol, or fusel oil, which is used as a solvent. The lower of the alcohols are volatile, pungent liquids that are soluble In water. Higher ones are oils, and still higher ones are waxy solids. Until recently these last have been laboratory curiosities. On the other hand, fatty acids, consisting of similar long chains of carbon atoms, but with a COOH group Instead of an Oil .at the end, are quite common as the chief components of all animal or vegetable fats. During the last few years there has been developed In Germany a commercial method of changing the COOll Into a CTLOII group, thereby converting the fatty acid into a solid alco- t Mr. ard Mrs. Ilyrum McClellan! entertained at dinner and a soda! evening Saturday for Mr. and Mrs. I to the bar the District of Columbia In 1873.

But that Is an odd number of yards, Isn't It? Why not, say, 1,800 yards? It's like this. Up to the time of Elizabeth we used the Roman mile of 1,000 paces (mile" comes from the Latin for thousand) and each pace was reckoned as roughly five feet But the people in various parts measured the thousand paces differently, states Pekrsons Weekly of London. To end the confusion that resulted, an English mile was Introduced consisting of eight furlongs, from the length of or furrow-longs- , a furrow made on farm land.
