A dispatch from Naylor, Ga., under dat'4 of Friday, March 23rd, read as follows: “With his own private funds, J. P. Carter, president, today began pay ing in full all depositors in thet de funct Farmers’ Bank of Naylor, be cause he said he felt a ‘personal moral responsibility’ to his former patrons. “Although he was not legally liable because of tha failure, the president several days ago also ledeemed all outstanding shares of the capital stock of the institution so that the rhareholders would suffer no loss. a “His ‘golden rule’ venture was said to have cost him approximately $40,- 000, four-fifths of which—goea..to his depositors.” What a refreshing contrast to what usually happen,s wh«n a hank fails and those entrusted with its aflfaiis “rush to cover!” So “remarkable” was Mr. Carter’s action in sending a check to the State hanking department to cover the accounts of the depositors, that his check was re tunnel and he was ap- pointed special ageri to pay them in person. While we have serious doubts that the millenium is at hand, here’s hoping that what this man has done is the inaug”rV J on of a new era in bankr,? and business life that too of ten is flavored with “man’s inhumani- \S to man.” Not a Local Issue. The impoverished victims of the (Mississippi flood, the farmers of the sevtm States affected, aie not the only ones that are concerned with the matter of reconstruction. «—* The proposal that the seven States affected pay A large part of the ex pense involved in reconstruction is tconsfciued by many as unfair. The work would benefit the entire United Statee. 1 More than thirty of the States pour thetir waters into the Mississippi, and the waters from these States pouring down through the Mississippi Valley caused the floods and the damage. Certainly it seems logical that the States who send their waters into the The cunent belief is that crime conditions are known to authorities, and that careful statistics are availa- , /C ble. The National Crime Commission, however, through Louis Me. H. Howe, assistant to thn .chairman, has let ft l)o known that there is no way of tell ing how much crime there is in the country a nd how this crime is divided among the various States and com munities. The Commission, therefore, is spon soring a hill, to he introduced in the various legislatures, asking that " all crimes he promptly reported by local policei officers. It is a queer fact, and few are cog- niza rt of it, that most of the crimes committed in the United States' are not reported or recorded. All estimates on crime conditions are mere guess-work, reliable agencies unite in declaiing. Statistics are al together inadequate. * There has beer, talk of a crime wave for three y«ars. When the National Crime Commission was formed, it determined to find out if there really was a “crime wave.” A reliable ^ .. ^ r, r-r-: v - - - statistical buieau was engaged to col lect the figures on crime, and reported that thore was no general collection of figures. The statistics had never beer, gath ered together ny localities. The statistical bureau said it would cost about one million dollars, and take about six months, to collect data that would probably be incoirect at that! Thus it was demonstrated that im aginary figures on this matter ara just as good as printed ones. If crime is greater in the cities than in the smaller centers, then the herd ing together of large populations is a cause of crime; if crimes are just as prevahjflt in the country as m the city, then there must be another prime cause; nobody knows. Ai^d until facts about crime become known facts, no sane, responsible study of crime conditions, with a view nf reducing criminality, can be made. Therefore it seems the act compellir*? all lo;ial police officers to report dvery crime that comes within their ken might prove very helpful a nd salutary if it becomes a law.

Y.—Residents of northern Westchester county are searching to' find a solution to the mysterious blast which rocked build ings and spread terror over several miles of the countryside. The heavy, dull roar and the quiver of the earth kept the county police busy answering telephone calls for hours. Similar blasts have occurred at In tervals of exactly six months within the last two years?. They always come at night. The ground was shaken and the noise of the explosion was heard, but on each occasion it was l • unaccompanied by any flare or light' such as would have been the case had the explosion been due to powder or gasoline or other known explosions that are set off by friction or heat. Scientists have been asked to study tlie terrain in the vicinity and ascer tain if the blasts are being caused by some j disturbance deep under the earth.
