Mesa Verde Tells Story
of en Old Indian Race
In Colorado there Is a mesa, a place
of mystery and enclinntms beauty.
Rising from the surrounding plain It
towers, a giirantie plateau like a huge,
iinsenltilile mrtr
Thus It appears, todav, and thus,
also, must It have appeared to the lirst
Indian bands who, driven by hostile
tribus from their southern valleys and
plains, sought habitation and peace on
the mesa top and in the embrace of its
canyons.
They came there, prospered for some
four thousand . years and departed,
leaving behind them the relics that tell
one ot the most fascinating stories of
the past. This Is Mesa enle. wisely
set aside ag a national park, says
nn Information .'bulletin from Nature
Magazine of Washington, so this great
monument of an ep'sotle In a bygone
age may be preserved.
To those Indians who first made this
mesa their home, nature was kind for
many centuries. From the r:ver to tbe
south they took granite boulders and
fashioned granite axes. Willi these
tlmy hewed blocks from the cretaceous
sandstone of the canyon walls, stuck
them together with puddled earth and
developed the art of masonry..
Crude shelter became complex
bouses, embossed like cameos on the
cliff's very face, protected by the over
hanging mesa above, and by the sheer
descent below.
Hoofs and floors were made from
nlnyon. Juniper and Iiouglaa fir found
on the mesa. Mountain mahogany and
scrub oak furnished sticks for their
crude planting and handles for stone
tools. From the forests and brush

BANKERS recognize that changing
conditions require new methods of
doing business. However It is, their
responsibility to
retain those es
sentia! and sound
financial princi
ples upon which
this country was
founded and has
grown to be what
Is still the richest
nation In the
world.
Many of our dif
1 1 c u 1 1 i e s have
arisen from lack
ot confidence and
from misunder
standing.' There
fore it behooves tbe banker to betid
every effort to create a better public
understanding or sound banking and
thereby bring about that united ettott
and cooperative spirit which will Has
ten the day of national recovery and
restore to the banker the confidence
of the public to which he is entitled.
As an approach to the realization of
this ideal, bankers should carefully
Scrutinize every application for a loan
to see ir It Is bankable and, it it Is
not In bankable form, then make fur
ther examination to see if the loan can
bo made so, in order that the uses of
credit mav be stimulated.
EvnlaininR 1-oan l actors to Customers
We must not expect our en. :'..: , is to
be bankers and understand all the lac
tors which we must consider bet ore
granting a loan, if we find that a loan
ii not, and cannot be made, bankable,
then 1 think wo should take, pains to
explain to the applicant the reasons
whv it cannot be granted.
There are other measures which
think it important lor the hanker to
undertake in order to eliminate tbe
misunderstandings which have arisen
and overcome the sentiment which
exists. Under present conditions we
have to operate under many laws and
regulations, and also watch what fur
ther legislation is being proposed which
affects- our methods of operation and
may not be In ttie best Interest of the
communities we serve. Nowadays It
seems at times wo must sit with a law
hook In one hand and a book ot regula
tions in the other in order to make cer
tain we are discharging our daily duties
and functioning strictly In accordance
with the law. All of this is very try
ing, yet 1 think in the end wo shall be
come better bankers.
1 believe it is the duty of ev ry
banker today to endeavor to uiid :
stand the public he serves. In addition
to his daily duties, trying as they are.
he should participate In the activities
of his community, so that, with the
fund of Information available to him,
ho may be as helpful as possible in all
public and civic matters.
COMPTROLLER COMMENDS
INSTITUTE OF BANKING
WASHINGTON. D. C The Ameri
can Institute of Banking, said to be
the most successful project of its kind

has performed a valuable function in
training bank clerks for "sound pub
lic service as well as personal success,"
J. F. T. O'Connor. Comptroller of the
Currency of the United States, said
here in a recent radio address. The
Institute i3 a section of the American
Bankers Association.
"While Imparting useful knowledge,
It has improved the morale of banking
personnel and has stimulated in ifs
members an Intelligent Interest In 'na
tional' and international monetary
problems." Mr. O'Connor said. "Its
courses cover a wide field In banking
Among the subjects, one finds Hank
Organization and Operation, Commer
clal Law, Negotiable Instruments l.aw
aud Economics. In the Pre-Standard
Division: followed by such subjects as
Money and Banking, Credit 'Manage
ment; Financial Statement Analysis
and Bank Management, in the Standard
Division.
"Each and every subject Is one which
Is necessary to a knowledge of banking.
However, the institute does not stop
here, but encourages graduate study
in Corporation Finance, Trust Service
Farm Credit Administration and Bus!
ness Forecasting. Again it emphasizes
in special courses the Importance ot
the less technical but highly beneficial
study of Constructive Customer Rela
Hons, Banking Fundamentals and Pub
lie Speaking. No comment is necessary
on these courses: thofr value is at
once apparent."
