TEACHING THRIFT IN CITY SCHOOLS

Automatic Receiving Tellers Are Put in Public Schools Today Scores of potential home owner?, business builders and loaders of industry today' made their first savings bank deposit when automatic receiving tellers were installed in 1I public schools of the city and the ch'iidrer. of all ages and every degree of wealth crowded about the little machines that take one's pennies and re-turn stamps to record the growth of the child's bank account. Business men throughout the city were unanimous in their praise of the school board for the vision its members evidenced when they decided to add to 'the curricula of the schools an additional and much needed course of training systematic saving. The automatic tellers are operated by the children who are provided with bank books to hold the stamps they receive from the machine. There are four slots in the teller. These receive coins one cent a nickel, a dims and a quarter. The stamus are ejected when the student places a coin in the machine. When the book Is full It is taken to the bank. There an account is opened. Succeeding books are added to this account. i The character building virtues of systematic savings will become a feature of school work in the future. The little automatic tellers will play a great part in the practical exposition of the work. The machines are manufactured by the American Banking Machine Corporation of Chicago.

RECOUNT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. May 13. The extent of the influence Lake Co. Republican politicians w-tll have in the 1923 legislature is causing a lot of speculation In the Statehouse

these days. Some believe that the Calumet group will exercise a greater measure of control over the general assembly and present and fu ture state affairs than it ever has done. One wise old political owl got out his pencil the other day aud worked It out something like this: "Governor McCray naturally will wish to control the next legislature. The second legislature In a Governor's term is difficult to control. Most of the ftate pay-roll berths have been disposed of. Hopes and promises of such places give a new state administration much control over a first legislature in Its term, but there is little of such means left to use Sn controlling a second legislature. fkJht ox committee "The state administration's fight to put Lawrence Lyons, formerly a campaign manager for he Governor, in the chairmanship of the Republican state central committee, con sumed many of the means, which under ordinary circumstances, could have been applied to gain paxt control over the legislature. So then not much is left along this line. Members of the legislature will not be expecting so much from the Governor, for he will have little to give, and they will be freer to follow other than state administration influences and make deals with those who can offer more." Having laid down his premise In the theory, the w. o. p. o. reasoned further: LAKE rOt'STTS SOLID DELEGATION "The Republican majority In the next legislature is pretty sure to be reduced considerably by the election this fall of a number of democratic assemblymen. Indications of the recent primary are that this will be true. So then the Republicans will have to stick close together. Lake county can be depended on to genu its entire Republican group of candidates to the legislature and it sticks together. The key to control of Republicans in the next legislature is 'control of the Lake county delegation. Lake county went down the line for Governor McCray when he was a candidate. He has divided state political control spoils far too skimpingly in the Lake coun ty crowd. It wished Matt Brown, of Lake county, made director of the -state highway department, but lost out despite the fact that the Governor tried to help it realize this hope. MIST DO SOMETHING FOR COUNTV "The state administration must do something pretty gpod now to keep its hold on Lake county if it wishes Lake county to play ball with it in the next legislature. The state administration forces must give the Lake county group about what the Calumet fellows wish in many ways or it will be up against it." Whether the theory be sound or unsound, it is -being discus-sed in state political circles both at the Statehouse and elsewhere. To some in high places the situation has become a worry. The genera! public may come in for its share in the worry a little later on. 20 KILLED IN INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE BELFAST, May 2a. The murder orgy that held bloody sway in Ulster over the week-end was followed early today by widspread police raids in which about 1.500 alleged Sinn Feiners and Republicans were arrested.
