Bankers Express Optimism at
Meeting in New York and
Lay Plans for Assisting the
Farmer Financially.
Universal Serlvop.
New York, Oct. 3.- -A new era of
financial prosperity tor tht* United
States was forecast, plans for as
siting farmers were laid, and an op
timistic view of Conditions in Eur
ope was expressed nt the opening
Monday of the 4»lti annual conven
tion of the American Hankers Asso
ciation.
Eugene Meyer, jr., managing di
dector war corporation and probable
candidate for governorship of the fed
eral reserve hoard, delivered one of
the principal addresses, saying:
"The acute phases of the agricul
tural crisis of 1920-21 now are passed.
The aftermath in the form of a bur
den on the farmers, and stockmen
still remains, and gome thousands of
banking institutions still are in an
extended condition. But probably' at
no time in our history has there been
so rapid and extensive Improvement
in our economic condition as during
the past 18 months.”
Oppose “Chain”* Banking.”
Mr. Meyer pointed out that the cri
sis emphasized one outstanding fact
•—-the need for more gradual market
ing of agricultural products with
longer terms financing to correspond
with this slower process.
Europe's financial troubles, it was
expressed by the majority of the
9,000 delegates present, will he met
through stabilization.
Various phases of the European
situation were relegated into the
background by the drive of smaller
banks to prevent again . allowing
branch banking. The contention on
one side was that such a system of
national "chain” banking would result
in the money being held by Wall
street and allied controllers.
Big Forgery Exhibit.
The other side, as voiced by per
sons close to the big hanking inter
ests, represented that branch bank
ing would prove financially and eco
tiomically advantageous to the nation.
One of the features of the conven
tion is the exhibit dealing with for
geries and ' counterfeit money at
which it was stated that $50,000,000 in
losses was paid out in check forgeries
last year by surety companies. Checks
raised, from a few dollars to many
thousands, signatures cleverly copied
and other ingenious practices of for
gery are presented in a striking man
ner together with the announcement
that a forged check is passed every
three and a half minutes of the bank
ing day.
Here is what some of the delegates
bad to say:
Thomas B. McAdams, Richmond,
Va.,—“Fundamentally, America is in
a sound financial position and can
look forwa.^ to increasing prosperity,
provided carelessness and selfishness
are not allowed to undermine the
stability of our citizenship.”
j. A. House, Cleveland—-“I feel
much aesured as to business pros
pects during the coming year. 1 have
come to the conclusion that the Eur
opean problem is the world’s problem
and that the United States can no
longer withhold its influence without
suffering more by it's exclusion than
by its participation.”
J. W. Hoopes, Dallas, Texas—“My
territory covers a very large portion
of the cotton producing area of Texas
and while the crops are in general
spotted, the prevailing prices have
keen very satisfactory, enabling the
merchants and interior banks to li
quidate freely.”
WHEELS OFF PLANE,
PILOT NEAR DEATH
Unaware That Landing- Gear
Is Off Machine, Flyer Is
Nearly Crushed.
Universal Service.
Mt. Clemens. Mich., Oct. 3.—Un
aware that the wheels of the landing
gear of his airplane had dropped off,
Capt. Bert E. Skeei made a landing
Monday and was nearly crushed to
d< ath In the wreckage.
For half an hour Captain Skeei
flew over Selfridge field, unable to in
terpret the desperate signal attempts
of the spectators below, seeking to
warn him of his plight. Extra landing
wheels were hauled out of a hangar
and dangled in the air from another
plane in an effort to transmit the
message that almost certain death
awaited his usual landing.
As he swooped down for the final
landing ambulances and fire trucks
raced across the field to where his
plane hit the earth in a great cloud
of dust. Captain Skeei, suffering
from severe injuries about the head,
was lifted from the wreckage. Phy
sicians held out hope for his recovery.
Captian Skeei, whose heme is in
Cleveland, Ohio was to pi’ot one of
the army entries in the Pulitzer race

Universal Service.
Washington, Oct. 3.—Renewal of

certain Monday. Following the an
nouncement of Chairman Fordncy, of

tee, that lie would Introduce a new btll

man of the finance commltee stated
Monday that a companion measure

Asked ft the New bill will carry a
financing section to overcome the ob
jection on which President Harding's
veto of the previous measure was
based, Senator McCumber said: "That
will have to be worked out."
The senator was doubtful that an
other bonus bill could be put through
both houses during the short session
but the issue can be kept alive by
bringing it up.

LABOR BODY ASKS U.S.
TO RECOGNIZE MEXICO
Federation Says Delayed Ac
tion Encourages Obre
gon’s Enemies.
Washington, Oct. 3.—The executive
committee of the Pan-American fed
eration of labor Monday called upon
the United States government to rec
ognize Mexico on the ground that
delayed action encourages the en
emies of President Obregon to stir up
trouble at the border, such as the
Juarez garrison mutiny last Satur
day. The statement said in part:
“There is no doubt that these so
called revolutionary leaders (Car
rasco and Murguia) are not deriving
the least encouragement from t lie
Mexican people In their rebellious ac
tivities. Their source of encourage
ment is the fact that tlie United
States government still is unaccount
ably withholding it’s official recog
nition of the Mexican government.
"The Mexican people know that the
Obregon government is the one ray
of hope that has emanated from the
darkness of tht* revolutionary period
strong enough to assert itself over
the reactionary forces which have
been constantly plotting for a restor
ation of the old order of tilings.
"San Antonio and El Paso, Texas,
seem to he the rendezvous for these
malcontents who value more their
own petty, unwholesome ambitions
than tin' welfare of their country and
their people. Others are nursing their
impotency and mediocrity in Havana,
while the vitrolie pens of still others
are an insult to the hospitality of
Pan Francisco. ~
"in issuing tiie above statement the
executive committee of the Pan
American Federation of I,abor is
guided by the desire to see Mexico
occupy the place to which she is
rightfully entitled among the family
of American nations."

FATAL FIRE INCENDIARY.
New York, Oct. 3 (A. P.)—A mad
man whose mania for fires caused the
death of seven, early Saturday, is
being sought by the police, acting on
information that an attempt was
made to set the building next door
afire shortly before the apartment
house at 241 West 109th street burst
Into flames. Fear that the supposed
pyromantac may continue to operate
is aroused by the story of Henry Dent,
who discovered a baby carriage ablaze
in the hallway next door to the build
ing which was burned. A moment
afterwards he saw a man come from
the basement.
YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS
But, If True, This Young Lady Is Very
Evidently Not in the Class of
Modern "Flappers."
A country correspondent of an Indi
ana weekly newspaper, who disclaimed
being either a pessimist or reformer,
recently wrote ns follows: "The other
day a man and bis daughter from near
Danville, Ky.. passed through our town
on their way to a nertrby village. They
expected to he met at the train by a
relative, hut he was late, so they had
to wait for him for four or five hours.
The daughter was n young woman of
seventeen, but si 111 wore her hair in
curls. We were especially impressed
by.the natural girlishness and sweet
modesty of the young woman. She
was refined, too, both in manners and
dress. Her father apologized for her
bnshfulness. There’s nothing else to
say about this lktle incident except
that it is a rare and beautiful thing to
hear a father apologize for the mod
esty of a daughter of seventeen sum

To which the trembling darky re
plied : “Aii suit, All just come in to

Whereupon the pastor said: “If that
is the purpose of this visit here, then
you just get down and pray.”
Thereupon the darky sank on ids

Healthy Housewife — Happy Home
Lydia E. Pinkham’a Vegetable Compound Has Helped

For the ailing, half-sick housewife
such a union is impossible. Often
times even the slightest form of
housework cannot be accomplished.
Yet the work must be done.
Many women struggle along for
years suffering from some form of
female trouble that make their lives
miserable and their homes far from

Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound has helped thousands of
just such women regain their health

letters knew how they felt before
taking the Vegetable Compound and

A lad In Washington got a Job that
didn’t at all please him—shoveling tin*

Scientific Exactness.
An instance illustrating the exnct
methods now followed in all branches
of science is furnished by the up
setting of all the results of the geo
detic survey of Algeria bused upon
tiie station of Volrol, which had been
chosen as the point of origin of co
ordinates. It has been found that,
owing to some subterranean pecu
liarity affecting the direction of tin*
plumb-line, there is u strong devia
tion from the vertical at Volrol, and
as a result a new starting point for
the triangulation must be chosen and
new calculations made. The discov
ery was inudi by comparing the as
tronomical latitude of the new ob
servatory about three miles from
Volrol with its geodetic latitude as
calculated from the Volrol data.
