BANKERS DEVELOP NEW FINANCE AD) 4 President of American Bankers Association Describee Plan and Service* of National C red incorporation NRW YOHK?The National Credit Corporation, a billion dollar cooperative Institution, Is the method worked out by bankers to put Into. practical effect the central point In President Hoover's plan for renewing the commercial and Industry activity at the nation as proposed In his statement to the nation of October 7, Harry J. Haas, president of the American Bankera Association stated in a recent*4nterYiew. ' The corporation is strictly cooperative In character, he paid, to unite the entire banking system and increase the effectiveness of the financial services of banks to their communities in rural districts as well as the cities. The plan will marshal the banking resources of the country, he explained* by creating a national Institution whoso funds will be loaned when necessary to banks which have assets In their portfolios that ..are thoroughly sound but are not eligible for loans at federal reserve banks. To Bonefit Everybody "There la ho citizen in the United States but will benefit in very practical ways from the results of the operation of this forward-looking plan of cooperation, which may be regarded as one of the most constructive steps that have been taken toward revival of sound buslnct53 activity," Mr. Haas declared, adding: "The National Credit Corporation represents an instrumentality that should have far-reaching effect in restoring the confidence of the public. The plan not only has been formulated by the country's leading banking authorities, but also will be carried out locally as well as nationally by banking representatives who have given their time anil thought to this undertaking as a real public service. "The American Bankers Association convention was In session at Ihe lime the'plan was proposed and unanimously endorsed It in principle. I have examined' the detailed formulation of the working plans as developed by the Incessant labors of some-of the Nation's leading bankers who have undertaken to put it into practical operation in single-minded dovotion to the national welfare, and I am able to say without reservation that the National Credit Corporation as set up by them constitutes a practical, sound and efficient means for carrying out President Hoover's proposal." HARD TIMES RENEW BANKER'S OPTIMISM Former Bankero' - Chief Finds Much in Past Year to Inspire Confidence in Financial ^ Reliability Rome c. stephenson, retiring "president or tho American Bankers Association, declared in an address on the expiration of his term of office that, In travailing about among the banks from one ehd of the country to the other during the past year, he had "come out of it with a renewed faith in the strength of our hanking structure and our banking situation, and a renewed faith particularly In the spirit and courage of,the men In the banks that have enabled them to rise unconquered over difficulties such as men never had to face before, or to accept with fortitude misfortunes that ^were beyond human power to prevent." When he reflected, he said, that the "entire human economic structure has "been brought to the verge of ruin under the difficulties that have swept over not only the r.-tirn but the entiro world, and th-t th3 results of event* of this kind react with particular directness upon the stability of our banks, and yet bow few have suecumbed, we may well renew our confidence In the banks of America; when ~ W think also of hmr many of our bankers have stood up under the stress and storms of these times and how relatively few of them have been proved wanting in the series of crises that have ^sailed them, we may wCll feel a sincere pride In our fellow bank-tirr-" He added? - -So I come out of tills year of somber experiences not as a pessimist, but as an qptimlst?as ojnc with a renewed faith and confidonce in the "P1 of his fellow men under overwhelming difficulties. Aiukp?rticularly do I come out Of this year a* a banker who Is proud of hi. teiiow bankers for the undaunted way In which they have met their part of the great teat through which the times have put the nationI believe that thU year new honor to our banking tradition* and our hanking profession and ha. won for the banker new title to the faith and trust of all classes of hi? fellow citlnens." .

National Qoocraphto I Society, Waahlnmou. D. C.) NUT often doc? Lower California get too. much rain. The long peninsula which, In shape, resembles a man's sock, thrusting its toe $00 miles southward luto the Pacific from 'the southern border of California, Is a land Beared by sun's rays and largely covered by cactus and other growth that Is found in arid regions. But recently, when a hurricane struck the peninsula, a large area was drenched. Many of its villages including La Paz, the capital, suffered from high water. Lower California was ouce .In the custody of the United States. During the Mexican war, In 1847, the forces of the United States occupied the principal points In the peninsula and declaret^ It American territory, but relinquished It at the close of hostilities. ? " Its width vurles from 30 to 100 miles and its coast l|pe of over 2,000 miles : Is Indented by numerous bays and bordered by many Islands. Most of fts nearly 100,000 Inhabitants live In villages that dot theftlliores of the Pacific and the Gulf California. Its broad areas of low, > sun-scorched plains, where deaj,h by thirst awaits unwary travelers and desolate plateaus of ragged black lava present an unfriendly aBpect. But all Lower California Is not forbidding. Many of its villages of low mud houses are set amid clumps of lofty shade trees, although some of them, surrounded by sandy wastes, might almost have been set down bodily from Arabia. Nature has made queer marks on the peninsula's panoramas. Almost wlthing eyeshot of majestic' palms that would not be out of place on a Sahara oasis, are great beds of creeping devil cactus which resemble nests of gigantic spine-covered caterpillars creeping In all directions from a central root. This peculiar weed is native to this country. The 'caterpillars' creep away from their roots sometimes 20 to 30 yards. The part of the stem resting on the ground sends down small roots and the older stems die In the rear at about the same rate as they grow In front, so they slowly move awayfrom the colony ncross the tints where they live. . Animals Who Drink No Water. - A large number of the smaller kinds of desert mammals never drink water. They live and thrive on dry seeds and scraps of vegetation In places where the heat and aridity are excessive,. without ever touching their lips to wuter, and It has even been fbund Impossible to teach some of them In captivity to take water. Apparently they never know thirst or the delight of 'quenching it. -* Many Lower California birds and mammals, however, are closely related to those of southern California. Only a few species of birds and a single land mammal, all In the extreme southern end of the peninsula, uppear to have originated on tlie Mexican mainland. All the others are evidently derived from well-known species of southern California, though they have been isolated tong enough to develop numerous ^geographic forms. This la In strong contrasf to the great difference shown by the flora In which are numerous strongly marked species peculiar to this region. As In .similar arid areas of thc extreme southwestern United States, the plains of Lower California ordinarily abound with small desert mammals such as rabbits, pocket mice, kangaroo rats, and others. During long-continued dry periods vast numbers of these small mammnjs perish of starvation, owing to the failure of necessary cropsof succulent and seed-hearing.herbage; but aft,er two or three years of renewed rainfall and abundant plant life, the desert again swarms with countless numbers of thqpe small folk. So accustomed do the animals become to depending upon plants for moisture that travelers have come to water holes In the hottest weather and found no evidence th^t animals have come there to drink while fresh tracks - have been found a few rods away. ' Small desert foxes, with large ears and bodies not much larger than those of a cat, occur on the larger plains throughout the peninsula. They liva In burrows and. when surprised away from home by day, are eery cunning _ in_e.ont?illug themselves As danger approaches they skulk to the nearest butfi, tuft-of-grussrw other Wt?* object breaking the surface and sjnk down flat on the ground beside It. and although they may be In plain view. | they are almost certain to escape no- . -i?iff- ~;!rijHg.tS tlce unless seen before thoy reach shelter. When conceal men t becomes Impossible they are bp and off. like ft flash, ami so swift unil graceful are their movements that they appear to float across the plain like a yellowish gray streak. On the Magdnlena plains the cowboys ride down and lasso coyotes for sport; but they admit defeat- In attempting to catch the fleet-footed fox. Some Large Game Animals. Antelope, mountain sheep, mule-deer, and mountain lions are the only large game animals on the penlosu.la. Antelope formerly occupied all the plains, but are now reduced to a small number In a few localities, ajid there appears to be little hope of suvlng them from early extermination. Deer are still to be found In many localities and with the mountain lion will outlast other large game In that region. The first mountain sheep discovered 1 In America were those recorded In the early writings of the Spanish missionaries from Loyver California. There are numerous species of mountain sheep In the Old and New worlds, and most of them have their "homes about high and (Jesolate mountain crests rlstlmber Une, where they live amid Arctic and semi-Arctic conditions. Among the mountain sheep of Lower (California these common conditions of life are reversed and they occupy the, r<5W desert ranges parallel to the Gulf const from sea-level tip to 4,000 or 5,000 feet altitude, always belqw the ( lower limit of the coniferous forests which adorn the tipper levels^of the high mountains lh the northern part of the peninsula. ' Here -Hie summer temperatures are commonly much more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit In the shade, and the arid mountain slopes have a scanty, growth of cactuses, yuccas and other strictly desert plants. These sheep commonly go to water when available In the hot, dry summers, but are able to exist for considerable periods, even\ In hot weather, on the moisture ^obtained from the more fleshy cactus plants, the 'tender flowers and flower stalks of agaves and yuccas, and from other water-storing desert plants. In addition to the mammals already mentioned wild cats, badgers, spotted sk^iks, raccoons, coyotes and other kiml of fox make their homes on desert areas .of l.K>wer California. The spotted skunk, or hydrophobia'skunk, us it Is coinnfftnly called, is most abun?. (Jant In the extreme Southern end of the peninsuln, where It Is tooked upon with fear and abhorence owing to its habit of biting people In the face while they are 'sleeping on the ground and the reputed commonly resulting death of Its victims by rabies. The fear of these akunks extends throughout the peninsula. Doves and California valley quail are numerous.the entire length of the peninsula, their presence always indicating the vicinity of permanent water. Often while camping near a desert wa'ter'hole, hunters have WAtched birds come and. go unafraid of man. -Even quail stand quietly and after drinking preen their plumage or move carelessly about, uttering tittle subdued callnotes to one another. Plenty of Small Birds. Hawks, woodpeckers, Jays, ravens, mocking-birds, cactus wrens, and other small birds enliven the desert and are abundant about some of the eultlvated oasis. A- desert thrasher Is abundant In the yucca forests and in early morning and evening'he charms his human neighbors with exquisitely musical notes. On some of the Islands of the Lower . California?coast..breed many cormorants. Whenever n cormorant, nlnrmed by the approach of a hunter, flies away, gulls swoop down on exposed eggs Jind eat them at once or, if the hunter Is too near, each gull transfixes an egg on Its beak and flies away, draining the contents as It flies. It is common for gulls to alight on nests and calmly plc% up young cormoygnts weighing Ave or six ounces and swallow them entirely, the helpless victims being swallowed bead foremost, fhelr feet waving despairingly from the gulls' widely-spread beaks. In the San Pedro Martlr mountains may be found the California condor, ft huge bird, sometimes measuring nearly U feet across Its ootspread wings. These birds Are so large that' When perched on s dead tree, the turkey btizxards near them took like pygmies. - The natives formerly* cut off <nrgv hollow bases of the qqltl feathers of, these gigantic birds and, fltflug them with stoppers, nsed them for carrying 1 fine gold at the placet mines.
