A rather young "looking couple were walking down' Hohman street yesterday afternoon inquiring for Hammond Cafe or a restaurant run by a woman named Hammond. The couple were odd looking to say the least. The man was tall and slender with curly hair, light mustache and drooping shoulders. The woman was a short frail looking woman ap parently about thirty years of age, wearing a queer little, sailor hat. Their story is a sad one. The man said his name was John Anderson and that the woman was his wife. He lives in Parkside and does advertising for a business. They were in search of their daughter, Lottie Anderson, a girl of sixteen, who, according to their story left Parkside yesterday morning and has not been seen since. The ruse of the girl was a clever one She asked her mother for money with which . she wished to go to South Chicago to visit a friend. She got the money but did not show up at night. Mrs. Anderson became wor ried and went to this friends house where she learned that Lottie had been there for a minute only and had gone to Hammond with a girl whose name was Hammond and sup posedly worked , in some restaurant here. The poor mother went home and after spending the night and all of today in worrying, decided to come to Hammond and search for the missing girl. The couple searched in all the restaurants but in vain for no trace could be found of her They finally gave up the search ow ing to the fatigue of Mrs. Anderson who said that unless her daughter returned within the next two days she would notify the police and try to bring her back in that manner.

It was the first auto the colt had met, and it was scared. Not so Miss Green. When the chauffeu paid no heed to her distress signals she took the reins in one hand and pulled out a revolver from under the buggy seat with the other. Sh meant business, and looked it. Th auto hove to suddenly twenty feet from the plunging colt. It didn' quiver until Miss Green had steered around it and gone on. Her father, J, B. Green, says there isn't a horse or a chauffeur in the country she can't make eat out of her hand. Palace of Sweets CANDIES AND ICE CREAM Times' Want Ads. Bring Eesnlts

A Scientific Bank

y BELIEVf! there is the -will provide a scientific believe, too, that there responsibility for such upon the members of is NOT 'ALOXE TO BLAME laws.

To my mind we are in a lethargy of success. We hear paeans of prosperity sweetly sung on every side. Unexampled totals mart

the measure of every phase of industrial and commercial life. We

have engaged in expenditures of capital on a scale so vast that it makes the imancial operations of other days seem PETTY BY COMPARI-

SOX. Labor was never before so fully or so profitably employed Business was never more active. AND SO, SOME OF US SAY, THERE SURELY CAN BE NOTHINCS WRONG WITH A SITUATION THAT GIVES SUCH EVIDENCES OR HEALTH AND GROWTtH. We see undue accumulations of currency at the financial centers We see banks that MUST PAY INTEREST on theso swollen de-j posits relend the money with nervous haste at any return, no matter? for how long. We know that funds in this way may some day becomo tied up so theft there may be the greatest difficulty in liquidating the situation to meet an UNEXPECTED DEMAND. But it does not seem to come with much force to the average banker that tho legiti-i mate result of such a situation may be financial disaster. At tho present time there is reason for believing that the country,! at certain seasons requires $150,000,000 more currency to transact! its business than is required at other seasons. Now, remember I am' talking of currency, NOT OF CREDIT. To meet this fluctuating; demand for currency there is absolutely no provision in our law3j Our bank notes increase or decrease in volume as a result of the flue tuation in the market price of government bonds, and there is prao-i tically no relation between that price and the current demand FOR' CURRENCY. Our banks are permitted to give freely to their cus-! tomers credits in the shape of deposits, but when a customer wants ta' convert that credit into the form of a circulating note he can only bo accommodated by taking from tho vaults of the bank it3 reserved monev. I believe the first principle to recognize is that there is not arfi essential difference between a bank credit IX THE FORM OF l& DEPOSIT and a bank credit in the form of currency. Certain safe-' guards must be thrown around a circulating note that are not required? for the protection of a deposit, but with that exception in view this

principle stands. I believe, as perhaps the most important one to recognize in a currency discussion, that there is not an essential difference between a bank note and a bank deposit and that the customer of a bank oughtunder satisfactory safeguards, to bo able to COX.VERT OXE IXTO THE OTHER AT WILL, One other principle that has been fatally lost sight of in half tho 'discussions of the currency is the principle that adequate HEDEMP,TICfr facilities are a certain bar to an overissue of circulating notes.3 PEOPLE TALK OF THE COUNT.RY BEING FLOODED WITH AM ASSET CURRENCY.
