KNOX Radical demagogues sometimes aecuse the capitalistic system with favoring th¢ rich and. powerful as against the poor and lowly. Fifty: three years ago an Irish lad of nine was brought to the United States by his parents. He went to the public schools and then began work as anmn office boy. A few days ago, on October 1, he was elected president of the American Bankers Association, the world’s largest financial organization. He is president of one of the largest savings banks in the United States, the -Bowery Savings. Bank of New York City. This election of William | E. Knox, who has risen from Irish immigrant to chief of American bankers, is the most striking remind- ‘ er of the year of the democracy of op- { portunity in capitalistic America. 1

On How Not to Make Out Checks “The most annoying thing has happened, Aunt Emmy,” exclaimed Helen. “I sent a check for $5 to the hospital to help them in their drive and some -one cashed it. Isn’t it a shame, for I simply can’t afford to send another.” . *“] don’t see how that could happen,” said Aunt Emmy, “if you made out the check properly.” : “Why, of course, I did,” Helen said. “I made it out just as I always do, to ‘bearer.’” : Aunt Emmy laughed. *“No wonder you lost it!” she said., “Any one at all could cash a check made out like that. It’s very careless of you to do it, no matter to whom the check is given. It would only take a few seconds to write the name of the payee, propdrly. . A check made out to ‘Bearer’ may be cashed by any one who gets, it. It is regrettable but true that not every one is honest. . You know that lots of people would take a five dollar bill if they happemned to find it. A check made payable to f)earer or to ‘cash’ is just as tempting to them as a five dollar bill would:be.” ;

“But, Aunty, it was so frightfully mean to steal from the hospital!” . : “You invited this particular theft by! neglecting to make your check oaut properly,” Aunt Emmy ®admonished Helen. “You may be glad your loss is no greater. Even when you go to, the bank for money yourself you, should not make your check payable! to cash. Suppose you should lose it on the way? The same thing that happened to the hogpital check might ,/ba.n{in -to it.. Better take an extra minute and make the check out to' yourself, sign yout name to it as usual ‘and indorse it just as theugh it were one you received fromi someone e}?se." . “That seems like a lot of times to: sign your own name on one little check, doesn’t it, Aunty?’ objecteé; Helen. : : = “It's ever so much better te be on the safe side than to lose your money through carelessness,” retorted Aunt! Emmy.—Anne B. Aymes. Government Does Not =~ . - Own Reserve Banks In the discussion of the Federal Reserve banks and their operations, undue emph:{%is has frequently ‘been placed on their relation to the government, and they are frequently called “government banks.” As a matter of fact, they are not “government banks” in a true sense, but are corporations' organized under an act of Congress, and owned entirely by their member banks. The government does not hold a single share of th?/‘ir stock. The control of the banks] operations is also largely in the hands of the member banks, who elect two-thirds of the Federal Reserve bank directors, the remaining one-third being appointed by the government to represent the interest of the government and the pub-. lic.

The Federal Reserve banks, it is true, are agents ef the government in addition to their other activities, and in this capacity they must follow the instructions of the governmeht in handling transactions which thok perform simply as agents. We believe that it is important that the fact that, a clear understanding of this point should be generally had, as many of the criticisms made against the Federal Reserve banks have been based on a m#sapprehension as to their relationship to the government.—American Banlkers Association Journal. “The Marriage Cirecle” may well be added to the list of truiy great pictures.

indian Legends Good .- for Bedtime Stories One of the charms of Indian myths about animals is that they explain the unexplaindble so plausibly—j How did the flying, squirrel -get irgjfiying» apparatus? %nstend of going into lengthy explanations the Senecas.relate that there was a tirue long ago when anImals and binds were’ very large and trees more lofty and rivers broader than nowaduys. On-one occasion a squirrel, which had been hoarding nuts against the winter, found his store being steadily robbed. For a long time he could not discover the culprit, but finally found that a woodchuck and a giant bullfrog with teeth had been stealing his nuts. The culprits were haled before the great chief of 'all the squirrels and brought to judgment. By way of sentence the woodchuck was ordered to have his tall removed in order to humble his pride, and the bullfrog. te have his teeth taken out so that he would no longer be tewpted to steal another's store. But the squirrel was also blamed for _.c‘velessness in bullding his nest so low that. other animals wight reach it. He was therefore ordered to nest in the high trees and by way of compensation was given a blanket to stretch between his legs so that he might sail through the alr like a leaf. -

A wolf snapped off the woodchuck’s tail and a heron picked out the bullfrog’s teeth, and thenceforth gll woodchucks were tailless and bullfrogs toothless, and the former feared the wolf mightily and the latter hid at the sight of the heron. The squirrel’s descendants, however, had blankets, and that is why they sail around from limb to limb se readily.

Ot such smfl’ are many Indian tales made. Here are bhedtime stories .of infinitely greater worth than many of the modern f-hildrmx‘s varns. There is room for a|volunie of real American fairy tales.——é'ew York Times. l Penalty of Penury “It doesnt pay to be close-fisted when _wm'rf running for office,” says a prominent middle-western politician. “One time a tightwad down in our county decided to run for the legislature, His friends urged him to spend a little money, but he consistently refused up to the night before election. When he gave in to the extent of buying and distributing a bale or so of the cheapest cigars he could’ find—poisonous ropes, all of them. Election morning he sauntered down to the polls to see how things were going. He was met by a group of his workers.. “‘Well, boys,’ said he, ‘am I winnin’ or losin'? :

“‘Your gone,’ replied one of the workers mournfully. - . : ““What's the matter? asked the candidute. ‘ . “*‘All your friends who took your cigars last night are sick In bed today!’” _ , : ' Schodl Aids Job Holders Vocational guidance, - vocational training, and education for citizenship are the aims of the part-time school, New York’s most recent experiment in the field of vocational education, says School Life. Minors between fourteen and eighteen, not high school graduates and not in attendance upon the regular full-time schools, must attend such schools for not less than four days between 8 a. m. and 5 p. m. When the child is placed in some selected occupation the school keeps in touch with its progress. If the employer does not himself provide it, the school gives instruction related to the occupation. Many employers are now maintaining part-time or apprentice schools, ' Founding of Rome . Legend, accepted, as authentic in later Roman times, made Romulus the founder of the city of Rome and the Palatine, one of the seven hills that rise on the left bank of the Tiber, the site of the first settlement. The entire period from the date of the foundation of the city, 753 B. C., to the establishiment of the republic, 500 B. C., is in its detailed history unknown, and from the mass of myth and legend it {s possible to derive only the very broadest conceptions. of the heginnings of the Roman state. This is due to the fact that the authentic records of Rome (ate only from 390 B. C., the year of the destruction of the eity by the Gauls, o :

What ever made you think it wag gunpowder?”’ “Well,” explained Sallie, with characteristic drawl, “you know they used to feed gunpowder to the soldiers down South to make ’em fight, and 1 thought you was feedin’ me gunpowder: to make me work.”—lndianapolis News. | Going Down Charles M."

Seeking Qats Thieves,

‘K. Hart, of near South Milford, is searching for the parties who visited his oats bin Saturday night and made a get.away with a large quantity of of oats. The thieves opened the bin shute and let the oats run' into the barn yard. which they in turn shoveled into an auto or wagon. Several bushels of oats were left in the barn vard by the thieves, who probably were frightened away before their work was completed. The thieves conducted the raid wnile the Hart family was attending the fall festival at Topeka. There is no clue. '

PERFUMES THAT ARE MENACE TO HEALTH Even Deadly, Sinister Scents . Not Uncommon. The tremendous craze for perfume at the presént time is, in a way, zfin echo of the age of King Solomon; but it is well to remember that not all scents are sweet-smelling savors. Foreign counfries abound in sinister scents of many and deadly kinds. There are trees in some of them which breathe out poison, and woe betide the traveler who is ignorant enough to rest beneath .their shade! . ' On the hill slopes of Chili, for example, is a tree which the natives look upon as being possessed of un evil spirit. Many cases have - occurred where innocent travelers have crept under its branches during tlre heat of the day, and paid for its shade with their lives. After resting under one of these trees for a short. time, the , hands and face of a traveler become swollen, as in a case of snakebite, and the surface of the skin is covered with boils. e

Many visitors in the vicinity of Valparaiso have succuinbed to the influence of this poisonous tree. ; The trumpet flower, or datura, found in most tropical Countries, although not deadly in the open air, is highly dangerous in a room. ' Innocent people, fascinated by its coloring and scent, take it indoors, and soon fall into a trance-like slumber, developing a deadly stupor, from which they may possibly never awake, If the trumpet flower were.brought into a sick room and left there for the night it would mean certain death for the patient. Recently, in South America, an accusation of murder was brougiit against a family who were said to have profited financially by the death, in their house, of a wealthy rekative. Upon investigition, it was found that some trumpet flowers had got mixed with a bunch of, others in a vase, which was allowed to stay in the house all night, and had actually caused the death of the relation.

Someé orchids, with their strange and powerful perfume, are capable of drugging the senses and causin’g faintness. There are some people, too, who canpot stand the scent of roses, while others are prejudiced against the in-nocent-looking violet. It is well to make quite certain that any perfume we use, or have in the house, is suited to our temperament. If the least irritation is caused by any scent it should at once be dispensed with,.however beautiful it may seeni to others. There are few people who do not like the scent of clove; yet, not long ago, thére was a case 'in Zanzibar where the scent of clove was responsible for a British official’s contracting an ulcerated throat, with consequent. loss of volce—The WorldWide News Service, ‘ - “The Marriage Circle’. show life as it is, not as we think it should be, see it at the Crystal Sunday and Monday.
