ALL BUT FEW STATE
BANKS ARE NOW OPEN
CORMLEY. STATE BANKING
HEAD, ISSUES OPTIMISTIC
STATEMENT. BANKS IN GOOD
SHAPE, HE DECLARES
Of the 228 state banks throughout
Georgia, all but six were open for
business Monday without
of any kind, accoiding to R. F.
Gormley, state superintendent of
banks.
Since the inauguration of the gen
eral banking holiday early this
month, a few of the state banks, not
members of the Federal Reserve
System, have been authorized to re
open on an unrestricted basis, but
most of them have been suspended
pending formal orders from the
State Banking Department. Several
state banks who hold membership in
the Federal Reserve System have
been open for some days on permits
issued by the federal banking au
thorities.
Four non-member state banks
have not been permitted to reopen,
Mr. Gormley said Monday, and three
of these may not be able to meet the
requirements, thus necessitating li
quidation. Two member state banks
have not yet been permitted to re
open, but are expected to do so in
the near future, when the federal
requirements are met.
“I believe that banks in Georgia
are in better shape, generally speak
ing, than those of any other state in
the south,” Mr. Gormley declared,
commenting on the banking situation
over the state. ‘‘Public confidence
has been restored in a remarkable
manner and my information is that
many persons who heretofore have
not made a practice of depositing
• their money in banks, are putting
their funds in the hands of the hanks
since the reopening under federal
and state supervision.”
50,000,000 ACRES ARE
RUINED BY SOIL EROSION
Five million of the 50,000,000
■
acres of Piedmont country extending
from near New York City to cen
tral Alabama, along the east side of
the Appalachian Mountains, have
been essentially destroyed by soil
erosion as far as their use for crops
is concerned, the United States De
partment of Agriculture says.
In addition to these 5,000,000
acres which have been ruined, more
than 13,000,000 acres have had the
surface soil largely or completely
stripped off by erosion. Although
many farmers continue to cultivate
patches of this land, they are able to
make only the barest living. In 1924
vhen prices were much higher than
now, the gross income of many fam
ilies on these denuded areas, where
the family averaged more than five
members, was only S3OO a year. To
prevent such erosion destruction, the
department recommends terraces,
tree planting, strip cropping, brush
dams to prevent gullying, and sim
ilar practices.

Indian Decoration Day
An annual Decoration day, in both
name and deed, is observed by lower
Yukon river Indians. Fifteen families
of Indians from Nulato and other vil
lages met nt Koyuruk, Alaska, t<* ful
lill a uueer custom, that of erecting
houses over the graves of those who
died the past year.
The shelters of the old graves were
given n fresli coat of highly colored
paint. Many of the unique mauso
leums are constructed with skill and
care, have windows, floors and rugs,
other articles such as were used by
tlie departed ones. Food and drink
are renewed each year during the
potlatch following Decoration day.
Every western Alaskan Indian tribe
has some different method of protect
ing the spirits of departed ones.
Whale* Are “Brainy”
The largest brain in the world, ac
cording to speakers nt a congress of
natural science, recently held in Eng
land, is possessed by the whale.
Prof. W. We.vgandt argued against
a prevalent belief that the largest
brain claim Is shared by whales, ele
phants and man. He stated that the
whale alone justified the claim, the
largest whale ever caught having a
brain weighing 7.000 grams.
The human brain, he added, seldom
exceeds an average weight of 1,280 to
1,4(50 grams in the male and 1,140 to
1,340 in the female.
Home
The word “home” is indeed like
unto an alabaster box of ointment,
very precious, whose fragrance fills
the life. Into it has been gathered
our most sacred memories, our tender
est associations, our brightest hopes
It matters little whether the home of
one's childhood has neen a cottage on
the hillside or a house in some city
street —round it is woven a romance
of interest that grows with the years;
to it, from distant places alike of work
and thought travels hack the heart
with wistful regret.—Exchange.
