To provide the funds necessary would probably, require a levy,of four mills over last year; and as this is totally out of the question under the circumstances it is likely that the $100,000 for construction of roads in Baton Rouge, Halsellville, and l?*mdsfnrd townships will be Increased to $125.- 1 000 and the surplus spent on bridges. ; Today?Monday, February 7th? is the twenty-third anniversary of the murder of the gallant Cnpt.

Nearly fifty skulls, helievci] In have belonged In people wlm inhabited the island of HI a.shale, one of the Philippine group, just south of the Island of Luzon, at a much earlier period than the present Filipino race, were found in a cave recently on that island bv(Dr. W. I). Smith, chief of the mines division of the bureau of science of the Philippine government. It is the belief of Dr. Smith relates a. Manilla dispatch that the location of the cave was not known to the natives of the island, being far from any habitation. Pesides the skulls many primitive; implements of carpentry and warfare were collected and brought to Manilla. These consisted of stone hatchets, axes, scrapes, pipes, pots and a strange amulet. Deer teeth and shells were also found in the cave, leading Dr. Smith to the conclusion that the primitive cave-dwellers lived by hunt- i ing and fishing. J'rofessor II. O. Heyer. of the anthropological depa.rtoinnt of the University of the I'hilippines, who has the skulls and other relics brought from the cave expressed the belief that they belonged to the early Indonesian peoples who emigrated to the Philippines in prehistoric times. Some of the skulls also were found lo be artificially deformed, a custom Df deforming the head artificially having prevailed in some'parts of Ktiropo in very early times. GOOD RECORD FOR BANKS Comptroller's Report Shows Them to, Be In .Good Condition. COUNTRY IS ON A SOUNDER BASIS Principal Borrowers Are Shown In Rc-' port?Best Record In Immunity from Failures In Over Forty Years. The-.eountry is now in many respects on a sounder basis, economically, than it has ?een fyr years, Comptroller of the Currency John Skelton Williams informed congress in what he described as his "seventh and last annual report." Deflation, obviously inevitable a year ago, has come, he said, and prices ot many basis commodities and raw materials have returned to pre-war levels or below. "It now remains tor tne middlemen," the comptroller declared, "to adjust his profits to the new prices before the ultimate consumer will receive the benefit of the reduced cost of living." Labor, however, Mr. Williams said, must soon determine whether a shut clown and idleness is preferred to a lower wage scale which takes into consideration the lower living charges. Mills and factories cannot afford to operate unless they can turn out com mfcfli ties at prices the public can afford to pay, lie'asserted, and it is better fqr the mnmifneturor to one rate and produce goods at cost or at a very narrow margin of profit than to close down entirely. Participation by labor with capital in the profits he suggested as the only principle to restore business. , ? During the fiseaj year ended June 30, 1920. the comptroller said, there were 8,157 national banks in operation, the highest number over reported, and despite the difficulties encountered they made the best record in immunity from failure in about forty years. The percentages of the capital of failed banks to the total capital of all banks, he explained, was about 2-100,000 of i per cent or sixteen times better than the average for the entire fifty-seven years since the inauguration of the system. Combined resources of all banks in the country on .lurte 30, 1920, including national, state and Federal reserve, the comptroller said, aggregated $59,153,704,000. Figures showing for the first time the business of the principal borrowers from national banks were presented by the comptroller. Loans and - ? * r i non U*. discounts on i\ovemocr m, u, <.v> said.. aggregated $13,704,000,000, of which loans to farmers and live stock raisers amount to $1,908,000,000 or 14 per cent; loans to manufacturing concerns approximated $2,8(12,000,000 or 21 per cent; to merchants, mercantile concerns. individuals in the jobbing business, tr^lin^ wholesale and retail, $3,581.000,000 or 2G per cent. Loans reported to bond and stock brokers and dealers in investment securities aggregated $G(14,0()0,000; to railroads, shipping companies", electric light and power companies, $225,000,000, while the loans to professional men, including, doctors, lawyers, teachers, chemists, cngincc and. cleigymcn amounted to $375,000,000. The miscellaneous loans amounted to about $4,000,000,000 or 30 per cent of the total. Cross earnings of the national banks during the past fiscal year aggregated $1,100,000,000, while their total expenses were $73C,000.000, of which '$175,000,000 was for salaries and wages and $287,000,000 was for interest on deposits. National banks in New York city showed earnings on their capilal stock of 37 1-2 per cent. Philadelphia national banks 33 1-2 per cent, Chicago 24 per cent. Boston 23 pi r cent, Cleveland 24 1,-2 per cent, Minneapolis 211-2 per cent, St. Louis 17 1-2 per cent. Richmond 20 1-2 percent, Dallas 30 per cent, Kajisas City 17 per cent, and San Francisco 18 per cent. Pueblo, Col., with 55 per cent reported the largest earnings in any reserve city. Birmingham. Ala., was next with 3!) 3-4 per cent and Atlanta third with 38 3-4 oer. cent. During the past fiscal year, the comptroller reported,. three presidents, eight cashiers ol' banks;and thirty assistant cashiers, tellers, bookkeepers, and. others of national banks were convicted of criminal violations of the banking law and sentenced to terms of imprisonment running up to six years ancl varying fines. iir. Williams made public a table showing the salaries paid the executive officers by all national banks in the country whoso resources were in excess of $20,OIK),IKH) and showed the largest salary paid any national hank president to be $100,000 a year. Discussing excessive salaries tiic comptroller declared, "such inei|iialities would exist to much less extent if the stockholders of hanks were informed of the salaries paid to their executive officers. but unfortunately it is an exception rather than a rule that the majority of the stockholders of the hanks are so informed. FAULTY FRENCH COURTS Aliened Bluebeard Manages Another Long Delay. Henri Desire Unndru, under indictment charged with murder ol' eleven women to whom at various times he liad promised marriage, and whose trial before the French Assises had been set for March 1st. has succeeded in obtaining another postponement of his trial, relates a 1'a.ris dispatch. I<andru lias been in jail for two years and recently was sentenced to five years in jail and subsequently deportation for swindling'. Under French law, a man accused of crime has the right to take cognizance of the dossier in his case before facing the jury, lie may make a tight upon the legality of any of the documents being submitted^ to the jury. The dossier in Landrn's ease includes 7.(Hi{) documents, all of which have to 1)0 copied, as the Public Prosecutor does\not triyjt the originals in the hands of the accused. The work of coyping the documents will occupy more than a month. i Landru has informed the court that he will require several weeks in which to study the documents as he intends to challenge nil of them as irrelevant.

Then he added-: "How T miss Judge P.onin. At least, ho was a gentleman." j i ^ , / ROYALISTS tIN FRANCE' Four Thousand Attended Memorial In Honor of King Lewis XVI. That royalty still has thousands of devoted disciples in France was evinced recently when the .Parish Church ?f the King? of France, f\t. Germain j do VAuxerrois, was filled fo overflowing by 4,000 royalists, including leaders of Parisian society and i beribboncd groups' of Sarhonnc and Lyccc students for1 the celebration of the annual mass commemorating the' death of Louis XVI, who was guillotinued' in l\iris on January 21, 1793. The church, which is opposite the Louvre, was packed an hour before the sendee-began, while a special no lice guard tried to' regulate the crush of 500 or more pdrsons who hail to remain outside. The Due d'Orlean's, considered by royalists to be the rightful heir of the kings of France, was represented by Count de Lur-Saluces and Count Thierry d'Ausson. But the futility of their prayers for restoration of power was shown three hours later, when 600 non-royalists in the Chamber of Deputies hooted Leon Daudet, leader of the extreme right group, and cheered Premier Briand's statement that France never again would be governed except by direct will of the people.
