S T J .v,- ' A' CLOSER TAB UPON BANKS Comptroller of Currency Dovclops New System of Inspection to Aid Examiners in Detecting Forbidden Operations. WASHINGTON, May 27. In fur therance of his plans for obtaining a more nccurato insight into the con dition of national banks, Comptroller of tho Currency Murray has devel oped a now systom for tho guidnuco of tho national bnnk examiners. By its menns, if faithfully carried out, thoro will bo established in the offico of tho comptroller a regular credit bureau by which it will bo possiblo for him to keep tab on tho financial transaction, not only of tho officers and directors of tho banks them selves, but of all the big borrowers of tho country. Under this system tho comptroller believes that should operations such as thoso which landed C. W. Morse in tho Atlanta prisou to tried it will be found impossible. He has sent out to ovcry national bank examiner & series of forms upon which thoy aro required to make returns on n number of important matters never heretofore required of them. Tho in formation thus acquired will bo held in confidence from tho public, but it will bo of so intimate a nature and of such immense financial import ance if it should fall into tho hands of tho wrong man, that there is rea Eon to believe that there will bo ob pection from the banks. Por instance, section 5 of tho now list of questions requires every ua tional bank examiner to furnish the names of all "financiers of question able methods" whose operations ex tend into their districts. Tho words quoted aro printed in capital letters to give them more prominence Another form is to bo used to give a, statement of tho "doubtful or questionable paper," in which offi cers or directors of banks are inter ested, giving the name of the bor rower and of the bank, tho amount in each bank and tho total in each district. This is to be supplemented by similar reports as to the same land of paper of persons or firms other than' officials and directors, and tho inquiry is to bo mado more searching by extending it to a report as to "largo or extended lines of credit," in which officers or others may bo interested.

PROGRESS UPON PANAMA CANAL Sixth Year of Stupendous Work Shows Work Will Bo Finished Upon Schedule Time Large Por tions Remain of Big Cuts. WASHINGTON, May 27. Tho sixth year of tho stupendous work of building n cnunl across tho isthmus of Panama to connect tho Atlantic and Pacific oceans ended on May 3 and in that time so much has been accomplished that tho costly wator way may bo opened to tho oommorco of tho world in 1914. Tho official estimate places it a year later, in or. dcr that thoro mny bo no miscalcula tion. Tho progress of tho work may be scon in tho important features of the canal. Theso are the out through Culebrn, tho locks at Gatun, Mira flores and Pedro Miguol, tLo building of the Gntun dntn and tho creation uf Gatun lake.

Tho work of dredging is practically con fined to tho Atlantic and Pacific en trances of the canal. The construction of tho dnm across tho Chagrcs river at Gatun was continued during the year in thrco sections tho dry and hydrau lic fill of the eastern half of the dam ; thi lining of the spillway with con crete, and tho dry fill of tho western section. Two parallel ndges of rock and earth stretch across tho valley, from hill to hill, and between these ridges the hydraulic fill is being made. In the cast half of tho dam tho hydraulic fill is at 53 feet above sea level, which is within 62 feet of the finnl height. In the western sec tion the hydraulic fill bos just been begun. Of the total of approximate ly 10,000,000 cubic yards of this fill to be made, 3,000,000 cubic yards havo so far been placed in the east ern section. Haskins for Health. (Continued from Yesterday. Tho nlmotul, of tho first group, presents an Interesting study of tho feeding habits of thrlps. Tho bud development occurs during early Feb ruary, early blossoms from February 5 to 1G, and full bloom from Febru ary 9 to 20 and later. Thrlps ap pear about February 35 or March 1, and It Is evident that almond blos soms nro well along beforo enough thrlps havo appeared to bocomo es pecially Injurious. Many Instances can bo cited whoro thrlp3 woro es pecially numerous on almond treoa, often as many as 35 or 50 Inhabiting a slnglo blossom, and yot tho trees set and matured a full crop of nuts. Tho Insects did not havo an opportu nity to attack tho oponlng buds, and after blossoms wero opon they pre ferred tho nectary glando on tho ln 8ldo of Uio calyx cupo. Thoy did not, apparently, rollsh any othor .parts of theso particular blossoms, and tho pistil, stigma and young fruits woro not attacked. Staraons woro weaken ed, for thoy arlso from iho him of tho Calyx Just abovo Uio placo whoro tho Insects find their onllclng food, but tho pollon had already rlponod nnd had been shod. Thrlpa can bo found aa numerously on almonds aB on any othor variety of affected trco3, but thoro Is a largo, newly oxposod leaf and blossom surfaco, and tho greatest dangor porlod Is passed be fore tho Insects arrive. For theso reasons tho trees aro ablo to support many thrlps without tho amount or tho quality of tholr fruit bolng ap preciably affected. Tho peach, especially tho Mulr and Nlcol's cling varieties, suffers as much as other fruits, but tho acreago In tho Santa Clara valley 1b not largo a3 compared with that of tho pruno, or Instance; consequently tho damngo ha3 not been so markod. Tho porlod of opening buds and blossoms occurs Just at a tlmo to permit of thrlps on torlng them from their earliest de velopment. Tho swolllng bud pushes apart Its outer Inter pro tecting scales and thrlps Immediate ly force a way In. Tho Insects feed on tho tender, closely plaltod tips of petals, which aro readily killed. They force an entranco between calyx lobes and petals, feeding as thoy go, and soon reach and attack tho vory small and fragile blossom stom. This Is coon destroyed. Later tho blos soms which may havo escaped tho n ..1- tnlnrv nrn ntfnnkprl frnm with in, tho thrlps feeding on tho Inner IlOWer pans, ids piercing ouu runn ing manner of feeding Is very dlsna-, trous to tender plant tissue, and fa-' tal Injury can bo effected by a vory fow movements of tho powerful mouth cono with Its armed" tip. Tho writer ha3 of ton examined' peach troes which had but recently boon- attacked by thrlps and found that almost overy blossom would fall out from its clus ter of scales wnen tho limbs woro gen tly tapped. Badly Infoated pencil trees do not bloom nt nil. Apricot Wobboius arc Rttullar to those of tho peach and nro Injured in tho samo way. Tho thrlps la at its worst on trees of tho second group, which Includes tho pear, prune, cherry and npplo. Theso fruits bloom later, which per mits tho gathering of thrlps In uuui bora before buda aro at all advanced. The wrllor has found thrlps on chorry and pruno trees waiting, as It were, for tho buds to open, nnd ho has found as many na 75 Individuals In n slnglo blossom which opened prema turely early. A thrlps enters a pruno bul through tho tip nnd forces a way down tho center of the cluotor, feed ing ns it goes on tho contiguous sides of tho novcrnt blossom buds. 'Normal growth ceases Immediately. Tho un touched outer sldo of each blossom bud dovolops for a time, but tho In jured Innor part becomes brown and dies. This cnusos each flower bud to turn In toward tho center, and tho wholo cluster ovontunlly falla. When thus Injured, most blossoniB do not opon nt all, but If they do thrlps aro ablo to enter nnd feed In tho moro vital flower parts, Only t, fow blos soms survlvo both periods of Injury when thrlps nro vory numerous. The Insects attack blossom and lor.f buds alike, and, In fact, overy part that of- fors now and tondor plant tissue Penrs suffor mostly during enrly bud dovolopmont, and blcssoms nro nearly all dead boforo tho clusters open. Chorrles prcsont a moro resistant growth, ihoro Is a decidedly sticky secretion on tin surfaco of nowly ox posod lcavos, and ofton wings of thrlps stick fast and many nro thus trapped. Chorrles dovolop so rapid ly that whon buds onco start blossom clusters are ablo to push out, ofton almost unharmed, ovon whon ninny thrlps nro prcsont. Theso clusters form Ideal places for ovlposltlon, and, as will bo seon Inter, chorry treos which may bo ablo to roslst tho early Injuries of foodlng will suffor from tho effects of ovipositing.
