JAMAICA PRASES ROCKEFELLER AID Health Program Conducted by Foundation Doctor Checks Disease. Special Dirpatch to The Btar. 1 KINGSTON, Jamaica September 26. =Dr. B. E. Washburn of the Rockefel- ler Foundation Station. here has de-! barted for England, from where, after; taking a course in tropical medicine, he will go to the United States to pass the Temainder of a vacation. Jamaicans are indebted to Dr. Wash- burn for the public health work he has directed during the last 10 years. His efforts have helped to make Jamaica a leader in the West Indies in public health. The control of the hookworm was started in 1919 with sanitary measures and treatment, and, in addition. the work of the Rockefelier Foundation has included a bureau of health education, schoal hygiene, a school for sanitary inspectors, a malarial survey, a tubercu- losis survey and a parochial health unit. ‘These activities are ‘largely the out- growth of the original campaign against the hookworm. More than 150,000, persons have “been examined for hookworm. All of the island parishes have permanent staffs of sanitary inspectors and are carrying on permanent programs of health work. Dr. Washburn, as director of the bu- reau of education, has issued two pub- lications which are used as text books in the public schools. In addition, the bureau supplies moving pictures on health subjects, as well as magic lan- terns and slides. Dr. Washburn also is director of school hyglene, which includes the ex- amination of pupils in the publc schools of all the parishes, the correction of :hysicll defects and treatment for ookworm. Dental clinics are held reg- ularly in all the schools. BRAIDED RUG GIVEN T0 YOUNG COOLIDGES| 91-Year-0ld Relative at Plymouth, Gives Hand.-Made Wed- ding Present. By the Assoriated PLYMOUTH, Vt. September 326.— | John Coolidge and his bride_continued today to enjoy the quiet of life in this hamiet, where the thirtieth President of the United States was born. Thanks to the industry of 91-year- old Mrs. Harriett M. Moore, a cousin of John's grandfather, the late Col. John Coolidge, the honeymooners have added to their gifts one whose senti- mental associations ‘will probably out- weigh the monetary value of many more | pretentious presents. It is a braided rag rug which Mrs. Moore started to make early last Mon- day, the day the former President’s son took as his bride Florence Trum- bull, daughter of Connecticut’s Gov- ernor. Mrs. Moore presented it to the Coolidges at the ancestral home, where they have been staying. John and Florence drove to Rutland yesterday, sharing their roadster seat with Miss Aurora Pierce, housekeeper at the homestead for many years. WOMAN COAL EXPERT LEARNED IT AT DESK Colorado “Minerajogist” Says She Wouldn't Know Mine Lamp if She Saw It. By the Associated Press. DENVER. Colo.—Behind a duk in the State Capitol sits a modern Lady of Shalot, whose mirror has revealed the story of the caal industry of the State to make her an expert, although | a stranger to the underground mines where day never dawns. The progress of the coal industry in Colorado is mirrored in the tables and records on the desk in the State coal mine inspector's office, behind which sets the gray-haired’ figure of Ada R. ‘Tibbits. Mrs. Tibbits, in whose veins flows the blood of the Prussian nobility, knows the coal industry ef her State from tipple to hearth, but wouldn't recog- nize a safety lamp if she saw one, she says. She is the chief clerk of the office and has followed the State min- ing industry since 1899. Her work is largely statistical, but in conversation she 'drifts outside her realm of figures to ‘comment on the changes wroulht by imachine methods. Although she has never frequented the inper workings of a mine, she knows the best producing areas, the kind of coal mined and its markets. Mrs. Tibbits was born in Davenport, Jowa, 72 years ago., Her father was Baron Rolla du Rosey, a Prussian nobleman, who !nuowea Carl Schurz to America and fought in the Union | Army during the Civil War. “ | Monk's Dlnghur to Dance.

Says 79 Institutions With 2 3-4 Billions Resources Have Changed in 1929. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. | J. W. Pole, controller of the currency, | i is about to enlist the aid of the bankers of the country in measures to save the national banking system. Unbeknown to the business world at large, the sys- tem faces a genuine crisis through the growing preference of national banks to become State ban! During the first | six months of X!:Ii no fewer than 79 national banks, with aggregate re- sources of $2,750,000,000, passed from | - Federal to State jurisdictions. Bankers are finding 1t more advantageous to| carry on their business under trust company_charters. Controller Pole will depict what he calls “the plight of the national bank- ing system” pefore the an conven= tion of the American Bankers' Assori~- tion in San Francisco next week. His address there on October 2 is expecied to be the high spot of the convention. Bankers in particular await some ex- position of the Treasury Department’s views on legislation necessary to arrest the flight of banks from national to| State control. Conferences Are Held. Conferences on this subject have been | held with leading bankers during the Summer at the offices of Secretary Mellon and Controller Pole. As a re- sult of these discussions, it is under-| stood that there have now been formu- lated recommendations to Congress which will otfer to State banks and trust companies an opportunity to gain a wider fleld of banking operations under the national charter. Not only the national banking sys- ' tem, but the Federal Reserve system, is affected by the present-day trend to- | ward State banks. National banks by law must join the Federal Reserve sys- | tem, but to do so is optional with State banks. The latter have not taken very liberal advantage of the privilege. From the period of 1914, when the Federal Reserve act came into force, until the end of 1918, out of 8,500 State banks | and trust companies eligible for mem- | bership, only 936 of them afiliated | themselves with the reserve system.| monition that it was the “salemn ob-‘ ligation” of the State institution to come in proved not very availing. The Best Bet. ‘The Treasury Department realizes that as between two systems of banks, investment capital will flow more freely into the one which wields the largest returns in dividends. The Federal financial authorities are no less con- sclous that if the advantage in this respect is a continuing one, the sys- | tem of banks thus favored will be the | one to survive. Apparently citizens who want to invest their money in bank shares have come to the conclusion thu! the State banks are the better Comroller Pole recently set forth his views before the Maryland Bankery' Association. “If Congress would pro- tect itself from the loss of the Nation's present banking instrumentality,” he sald, “Congress must make it to the advantage of capital to seek the na- tional rather than a trust company charter. The alternative would seem to be the elimination of the national banks in favor of 48 distinct systems of banks under the supervision of 48 separate banking departments. With- in recent months the trend toward trust company charters by national banks has been alarmingly accentuated. Great bank consolidations of national banks and trust companies are taking place in which khe national charters | are being given up.” To Discuss Branch Banking. ‘The controller of the currency will also have something to say at the San | Even President Wilson's mid-war ad- | Francisco convention about another | JACK DEMPSEY INVESTS - WASHINGTON, D.

McFad- den law, far from being & permanent settlement of the quutlon Was & _com- promise measure.” The big city banks all over the country are anxious to ex- pand the branch system and have done 50, in_most cases, to the full extent the 1aw allows. The huge banking mergers of almost dally occurrence—such as the benking lrmm ul t Oon':o er Pole no hesitation in calling the flwlflfln “critical,” and he will assert before the best banking minds of the Union at San Francisco that the time is c;mmune to remedy bule conditions before they drift from worse.
