At the end of the year the banks had regained nearly all of their loss during the business slump. Their total resources to- day are doubtless greater than they ever were before. These resources aggregate more than $22,000,000,000, distributed among more than 8,000 banks. ‘And this huge .sum is less than half of the national banking power. The State banks and loan and trust companies would bring the total resources up to nearly $50,000,000,- 000. Resources, of course, are larger than deposits. But the latter are impressive. \Vllile no recent. figures are available, comparative figures indicate that the American people today have about $40,000,- 000,000 in the bank, not to mention their deposits in the form of in- surance. And this after deflation from the war boom. Talk about financial solidity ! as as as Gasoline From Coal Germany, which has no oil wells, is making gasoline from coal. Experiments at Mannheim are said to be unusually successful. The coal is turned into petroleum by introducing hydrogen into it. The resulting liquid resembles fuel oil. This heavy oil is then transformed into light oils and gasoline. per cent. of heavy oil and the oil gives 40 per cent. of gasoline, with an equal percentage of Diesel engine oil. Similar results have been obtained by chemists in this country, but here there does not seem to have been any serious effort as yet to produce oil and gasoline from coal on a big scale, beeause‘it is not necessary. The knowledge that it can be done is cheering, in view of the prospective playing out of our petroleum supplies. There is plen- ‘ ty of coal for all imaginable purposes, for centuries to come. ¥¥¥ Stuff And Tommy-Rot * There seems to be an inclination in some quarters to belittle Norwalk’s need of improved fire apparatus.

The Sentinel repeats the demand made on the day of the fire—- that something more definite than talli’ be.done about getting proper fire-fighting equipment. Maybe the necessary tools of the fireman’s trade will cost $100,000—maybe more. But whatever the cost, it is 'a certain fact that it will be money well invested by the city—~an in- .‘ vestmem that will pay big dividends in safety of life and limb; de- crease in insurance premium payments; and a saving in property loss which at any moment may be enormous. \ O O 0 think it is hereditary has adopted the family of a late nloonshiner.

Lately there has been“I an efiort to enforce it in all its ramifications. Thus, in Salt Lake City, prominent citizens and visiting business men have been arrested for “smoking in a public place.” Some of them were daught pufling the iniquitous cigaret and the others were smoking cigars. 7 It is not surprising to learn that as enforcement-of this law'is pressed more vigorously, a furtivc traflic in tobacco develops; after the manner of the bootleg liquor traffic. It is atramc, too, that is comparatively easy and safe, because cigarcts are less bulky than liquor and harder to discover. , A state’s tobacco policy, no doubt, is its own business. It is very questionable, however, in the present imperfect state of human- ‘ity, Whether any state or any city can succeed in such an attempt to eliminate the less harmful forms of vice. Deprivation of alcohol. drives men back more definitely to the consolations of nicotine." De-t privation of nicotine, if it can‘be accomplished, threatens addiction tobacco away from the young. and merely advising moderation fo grown-ups. . , ' The trade note, “rubbers move up,” probably refers to! those 2 half-boots the girls are Wearing. , o e o xmong the “ten best books’f that anybody should take along THE SPIRIT taste.
