American Bankers Association, discloses a distinct tendency the past five years to take bank supervision out of politics, to increase the discretionary powers of bank commissioners, to lengthen their terms of office, to supply them with adequate forces of qualified examiners - and to relieve' banking departments of duties foreign to banking, says a recent statement issued by the association, We have consistently urged that the office of bank commissioner be as free from partisan politics as the judiciary itself and that it be divorced from all other functions of state govFurernment, the statement says. ther, that his term of office be made more secure and lasting, with sufficient salary ,and power granted to attract and retain the services of men of outstanding executive ability, courage, resourcefulness and successful banking experience. Five years ago the first survey of state banking departments by the division demonstrated the need for Improvements. On the basis of uata now in hand it is evident that, through the revision of statutes in many states, rapid steps are being taken in the right direction. One by one the states are coming to recognize the primary importance of strong, competent banking departments. The demand for increasing the effectiveness of banking departments is beginning to be met. How Bank Commissioners Are Chosen The office of bank commissioner is now operated as an independent department of state government in our states, the bankers find. In two states the bank commissioner is elected at general elections; in one bs is appointed from eligible fists of the civil service and in another he is selected by the banks, in one state the bankers association elects a list of five names from which the governor appoints one as superintendent of banks; in another he is appointed by the State Corporation Commission and in another by the State Banking thirty-f- Board. I Terms of office of bank commissioners have been lengthened in several states during the last five years," In 28 states the the report says. term is four years, in one, five years, and in three it is six years and is some the term is indefinite. A short term is condemned on the grounds that the commissioner has insufficient time to become thoroughly couversant with his field work. A longer term permits his rendering useful service through capitalizing his experience. Five years ago the average length of service was less than three years, while now it has risen to five years. Higher Standards Required Signs of ail awakening to the necessity of making successful banking experience a qualification for bank commissioner are evident. While eleven states report no bauking experience necessary, the majority require experience of this sort, ranging from two to five years. Twelve states now have banking boards, with, powers ranging from acting in an advisory capacity to full power over all state trnks to issue and reject charters. A healthy sign Is the number of reports which disclose that the commissioners have full power to appoint bank examiners or that these appointments are made from civil service lists. This pawer is now granted to the commissioner by twenty-sevestates. Three require that selection be from civil service lists. Complaints are still made in a few states of political pressure In the appointment of examiners, but the contrary seems to be true in a growing number of states. The most capable commissioner cannot successfully perform his duties unless he is able to command the services of efficient, honest examiners. The safety of depositors is dependent on their work, and their appointment, fitness and compensation are highly important. The number of examiners has Increased 25 per cent in the last five years. n a comparatively recent ad to the household store.

Seven will be reattached to the Philippines by a recent convention between England and the United States fixing the boundary between North Borneo and the Philippines archipelago. Mislaying islands in the Philippines Is easier than it would seem, says a bulletin of the National Geographic society from its headquarters In Washington, D. C., because there are approximately 7,000 Islands in the archipelago, distributed over an area equal in length to the distance from Palatka, Fla., to Mackinaw City, Mich. Taganak, most important of the seven lost islands, is only a mile long. Some of the others are merely clumps of trees on small rocks or coral patches. None is Inhabited. Before the war, Spain had made a boundary treaty with Great Britain defining the line between Borneo and the Philippine Islands as nine miles off the Borneo coast Later came the treaty by which-Spaiceded to the United States the Philippine islands, and this was found to have four errors, the last of which are being cleared up more than 30 years later. An Island Without Country. Soon after the treaty was made It was found that Cagayan islands, of which the principal island has an area of 46 square miles and a population of 250, had been left as an island without a country. This was corrected in 1900. Last year the question of who owned Palmas Island, near the Celebes, was settled by an arbiters award, giving It to Holland. Another error has been found In the northern line dividing the Philippine islands and Taiwan (Formosa), but this does not Involve actual territory. England has been administering the seven lost islands off Borneo, giving them the little attention they need. On Taganak is a lighthouse marking the entrance to Sandakan harbor, the most Important port on the North Borneo coast. The provision of the old Spanish and British treaty has been found impossible of fulfillment because nine nautical miles off the coast, creates an impossible surveying problem, due to the sinuous curves of the Borneo! Spanish-America- n n coast Yield Coconuts and Turtle Eggs. So an imaginary line has been drawn across the ocean and it is specified that all the Islands and rocks north of this line, and this means most of the group known as the Turtle islands, will go to the Philippines. In addition to Taganak there are Great Bakkungaan, Langaan, Llhiman, Boaan, Baguan, and the Mangsees lying north of Mangsee channel. Although the islands are uninhabited and very difficult to reach, because of the barriers of coral which surround them, natives go to them regularly to gather coconuts and turtle eggs. The Turtle Islands, as they are locally called, and the Mangsees, Re along the southern edge of the Sulu sea and are as far south of Manila as Charleston, S. C., Is south of New York City. 340 Traffic Deaths in London in 3 Months London. During July, August and September of 1929, 340 persons were killed in the metropolitan police district of London. The total injured over the same period was 16,200, while 32,000 persons suffered either property or personal loss. Private automobiles were the rorst offenders, killing 88 and injuring 4,905. Trade and commercial vehicles killed 112 and Injured 1,900. Omnibuses killed 25 and injured 845. Trams took the lives of seven, but injured 559. Jaywalking and careless driving are given as the chief reasons for the number of deaths and accidents. Hesitating or faltering are also listed as important reasons for th high toll in lives and property. French Attempt to End Roaming by Land Gifts Paris. France Is striving to stop the aimless wanderings of the gypsy tribes of Syria by offering them land to till and houses In which to live Although the Instinct to rove on the part of these nomads has dominated them for centuries, French colonial officials are confident that they can be made sedentary and point to the changes that have been brought about in the habits of some of the tribes.
