Dramatics Figure Prominently in Church Life of Indianapolis

By THE VISITOR Dramatics today figures prominently In the social and educational life of the young people of Indianapolis churches. The Epworth League of the Methodist churches of the city have been among the leaders in developing the dramatic and comedy talents of the young people. All the new churches of the city include In its building plans an auditorium and stage where plays may be presented. Miss Glador Hatch, who is active in dramatics at the Heath Memorial M. | E. Church, states the position as fol- : lows: Religion Has Progressed “Running neck and neck with athletics, dramatics are taking a prominent part in church activities of today. Several years ago it would have been thought a crime to even go see an innocent specimen of home talent or any other kind of talent for that matter, moreover connect it with a church organization. But religion has progressed just the same as science, art, music, and many other things we consider necessities today. There are so many forms of amusement that j are injurious to the young folk of j today, yet youth will follow them for ; want of cleaner employment of their time. The churches saw this necesj sity for the uplifting of youthful ] amusement and came to the rescue

ONE MINUTE TALKS on BANKING

By Win. C. Kassebauin, Trust Officer Security Trust Company.

[This Is the seventh of a se- "1 rie of "One Minute Talks 1 on Banking:" by prominent hank officials, which will run each Saturday In the I Times during the month of " September. j Asa Nation we have the “banking | habit.” It was not always so, however. And today, when Sebastian in in France, or jUS hold bills or buys <■' anew suit, he . •' *!■ pays with metallic . he money or with j jssSf paper money. United States and BtrumentsatA talne< * tho sane--ILr. ffrWm tion of common usage. By. credit ances, anu the most common of these is checks. We associate barter, the practice of trading goods for goods, only with the most primitive transactions. At once there was a groping for a medium of exchange. In Homeric times, values were expressed in terms of oxen; pressed cubes of tea leaves were a medium of exchange in China, and blocks of rock salt serve the same purpose today in remote parts of Africa. Gold and silver generally have been preferred, though, by nations able to obtain them, by Industry, commerce or conquest. Banking, as we know it. probably had its inception in the middle ages. Private lenders established banking in Venice at least two centuries before the Senate opened the first bank of deposit in 1587. Ahuses led to intervention in the business of banking by practically all the continental governments, and the great banks of Europe today are closely allied with their governments. Their greatest business is their note issues, analogous after a fashion to our bank notes. In the United States we find a great number of independent banks, large and small, and divided into two general classes, commercial banks and savings banks. Frequently commercial departments and savings departments are combined in one institution. We believe thoroughly in the principle of banks closely allied with the communities they serve. The bank succeeds only with the rise of its community: its success is bound up indissolubly with the interests of its community: the commercial bank or commercial department, the clearing house for the community’s liquid funds and credit, and the savings bank or savings department the mobilization depot for funds temporarily not active, but requiring to be kept in semi-liquid form. It is here that what was referred to as our "banking habit,” manifests itself. Statisticians working for a congressional money and banking committee have estimated that more than sixty

with church athletics and dramatics. “The home talent is very highly praised by all who are interested in this kind of work, and it well deserves the credit given it. “Not only do the actors gain by this clean dramatic work but also it is very educational for the audiences, since only the best kind of plays are chosen to be represented in the churches. It is a form of amusement to which no one can object. “One church for instance, has a play of some kind in preparation practically all of the time. This church netted considerable amount of money for its building fund. The actors have gained educational and mental development, the audience has enjoyed clean amusement and received a certain amount of educational development also, and the church has gained financially,” she states. Heath Memorial Methodist Church, Commerce and Windsor Sts., has taken a lead in dramatics for some time. They have just finished one of the finest productions of the year, “The Early Bird," which was presented Thursday evening. Aug. 31. Mrs. Bertha Pellam. the director of the Heath productions, is very talented and has had much experience in this k nd of dramatics. What is true at Heath church is true with many other of the leading churches of the city.

per cent of the Nation’s retail business and more than ninety per cent of the Nation's wholesale business is done by check. Our banks carry an enormous number of accounts with average balance of less than SSOO. A bank account for the home is as common as a talking machine in the home. We get the banking habit early. We learn the proper way to write checks, their proper indorsement, and to compute our balances as soon as we get our first jobs and earn our first money. Sometimes certain individuals acquire too great fluency in check writing and it becomes the duty of the law to administer a forcible education on the wisdom of writing checks only when funds to meet them are in the bank. The other day a customer appeared at the window and demanded angrily why payment had been refused on a certain check he had issued. His account was good for four times the amount. The signature on the check was compared with that on his signature card in the paying teller's cage. There Was considerable dissimilar* ity and the customer vouchsafed that he had written the check on his knee while seated in his automobile. He was surprised at the care the bank takes in guarding signatures. That is one way the bank watches its customer's interests. TRACTOR ARRIVES Purdue University Plans to Hold Government Tests.

Women suffer from irregularities! and various forms of weakness. They try this and that doctor, as well as different medicines. Finally they take Lydia E.

If your family physician fails to help you and the same old troubles persist, why isn't it reasonable to try Lydia E, Pinkham’a Compound?
