“Opportunityto Dedicate Ourselves Anew to the.
Ideals of Peace”
~ By CHARLES E. HUGHES,' Cable to Pan-Ameriean Conference.
At a lime when ire witness the economic dislocations, the waste and -
impoverishment, and the distrust and hatred that have resulted from tfig;
World war, we have abundant reasons to congratulate our peoples, that
peace reigns in this hemisphere, and the meeting of this conferendi'
affords a welcome opportunity to dedicate ourselves anew to the ideals
•f peace. #
All problems find solution among those who desire to be friendly and,
|ust, and the present imperative demand of civilization itself is that';
nations shall set themselves, with all. the resources of their intelligence
and skill to the elimination of sources of controversy, and shall earnestly
and diligently seek, for their manifold ills, the cures which can only b*<
found in friendship and good faith.
There are happily no controversies among ns that cannot be settled;
by the processes of reason. No interest is cherished could prompt
Than is no nation among ns which entertains any imbo
tion which runs counter to the aspirations of our free peoples.

Bank Failures Not Due to Violations of the Law
• > Have Been Very Rare , j
By THOMAS P. KANE, in "Romance ahd Tragedy as Banking."
\
Bank failures that have not been due to violations of law are reij
rare, and if evwjy officer and director of a bank Should be true to hii
•atH of office, temporary suspensions occasionally might become necessary
under extraordinary conditions, but insolvency would ant intervene, and
the creditors and stockholders would not suffer loss.
' Because, if the officers and directors of the bank restrict tire loam
to., any one, individual or interest to the Emit fixed by law, and do not.
undertake to circumvent its restrictions by indirect methods, the Toes upon
any single loan would not be sufficient to affect seriously the bank oi
impair its solvency.
It is the excessive loan, no matter in what form it may be made, that
does the damage, and no officer or director can make such-a loan, directly
or indirectly, without violating his oath of office and inviting the com*
■squendto that folldw. ' ? i

Pdrhnps no motor car ever before was given
such a reliability test as this.
Day and night for 58 days, without the engine
being stopped once, and without the, official seals
on its hood being broken, a stock Hupmobile was
driven 26,165 miles by drivers working in
* three shifts about Salt Lake City and over a
maze of Inter-Mountain highways in Utah,
Idaho and Wyomihg.
The starter was removed before the run began.
Oil Was taken on through a special tube in
<be side of the sealed hood. This intake ibr
oil as well as the Intakes for gas and water,
were *ll securely sealed, and were broken and
re-sealed only under official inspection.
The route of the car, for the most part, was
over a maze of mountain highway's. Part of
' the course led the car into the precipitous J
mountain of Heber, Provo, and
Parleys, in the Wasatch range.
The “high spots’* of the test included trip* '
into many of the steepest canyons cf the west,
including Brighton, at thehead of Big Cotton
wood and American Fork Canyon, generally

I Burlington, May 11.—At the last
'meeting of the Episcopal

resolution was passed, at
the instance of the diocesan puo icity
committee, Rev. Thog. F. Opie chair
man:
“That the several rectors in the
diocese take advantage of the • col

, in a dignified and impressive way the
services of the. church from week to

are forced to climb from a 4400 to an 8700-
foot elevation.
Tbe engine was brought to a stop only after
tbe fan 'belt had broken, at 26,165 miles. The
car then completed its 60fh day with a mile
age of 27,096 <
It was immodiatoly torn down and inspected
under direction of Prof. A. Leßoy Taylor of
the Automotive Department of the University
of "Utah. He reported that the engine—with
33,000 miles to its credit—shewed only slight
wear; that the life of this stock Hupmobile
bad only just commenced.
Prof. Taylor’s detailed report contained the
1 following significant statements: —The
amount of carbon deposited on the pistons
and cylinder block was surprisingly small.
"The pistons showed, by micrometer caliper
measurements, the maximum ’out of round’
of .0005 (five ten thousandth) inch. The
second and third rings showed practically no
wear. The first rings on three of the cylinders

The qualities revealed try die car in this test

in continuous service such as not one motor
car in ten thousand is asked to give—these
things are not remarkable or unusual for the
