Another Triumph for Wireless More than 200 men, women and children aboard the City of Honolulu, 670 miles off the Pacific coast, were spared suffering and possible death through radio communication, which summoned vessels to the rescue. The feat was another triumph for the wireless,- and although it was not the first time rescues of this kind have been made possible by the invention, it serves to show that modern invention is minimizing danger on land and sea. The fire swept through the City of Honolulu so rapidly that fighting it was out of the question, and the only thing left for the captain was ,to order the passengers and crew to take to the boats. A freighter, 50 miles away, heard the first call for help and headed for the location given by the radio message. Soon the 217 men and women were safe aboard the rescuer. Before the discovery of the wireless the burning of a ship on sea usually meant a tragedy of major proportions. Rescue depended solely upon some other ship traveling the same line, and then often days elapsed before one came in sight. Meanwhile, the passengers endured intense suffering or succumbed. With the radio, rescue vessels soon reach the location of the shipwreck and spare passengers and crew mental and physical suffering. Without radio communication the marine servjce would still be a hazard of great proportions. Nowadays the ship that goes to sea unable to communicate with the land or other ships is a back number. Ships are now in touch with each other for most of the distance which they travel, owing entirely to the inventive genius who solved the problem of swift and ready intercommunication.

The Banking Publications Business Men Study Bulletins of Financial Institutions to Learn of General Conditions.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIN WASHINGTON. D. C.a Oct. 16. The United States has more periodical literature than any country in the world and if a man sought to keep up with its full volume he could spend his entire time on nothing else and still be far behind. No one can hope to be familiar with all the publications issued periodically in this country but perhaps the least known group, so far as the general magazine reading public is concerned, is composed of publications of the highest quality. j This group is composed of the monthly bulletins issued by the great banking institutions of the country. Business men and bakers who aj3 close studets of curent events , and take every precaution to be Informed are familiar with these publications, but they almost entirely escape the notice of the general public. They are not advertised and they are not displayed on newsstands. Yet some of tha best literary talent in the country is cgaged in their preparation and they are given away free. A few of the banks restrict their lists to customers and depositors but, as a gereal rule, any person may be placed on the mailing list to receive these bulletins without charge. One of the longest established and best of these publications is the month- : ly bulletin of the National City Bank : of New York. It usually is a publication of about 15 pages, all of which is text as no advertisements are carried. This publication is edited by George M. Roberts, vice president ot the bank. Mr. Roberts formerly was Director of the Mint and has for mamyears occupied an enviable position as economist and commentator on business, social and political affairs. Mr. Roberts' salary probably is greater than that of any magazine editor in the country, not excluding the great nationally known monthlies. Were ho not connected with the bank and followed the vocation of writing for the general press, his articles would be in great demand and his, name would be advertised on many covers. As it is, his talents are devoted to the modestly conducted but immensely valuable periodical which the public never sees because it does not take the trouble to ask the National Ci.'y Er.uk to be put on the mailing list. Take the current issue of this pub- : lication as a typical example. It contains carefully written discussions un cer the following topics', '.general business conditions; industrial conditions, clothes and shoes, building operations, the agricultural situation, the foreign demand 'tor American products, corn and livestock, the cotton crop, trade conditions, the shortage of unskilled labor, immigration and its effects upon the farming population, profits of industry, foreign competition, money and banking, condition of the tor.d market, inflation of the currency, prices, wages and the cost of living, scarcity of currency in Germany, the Federal Reserve System, labor banks, personal incomes, the new tarii'f. Farmer Works Night and Day. The publication is by no means devoid of human interest. On the contrary it i9 full of it. It tells such sto- ' ries as that of the Russian farmer in North Dakota who, 6ingle handed, cultivated 400 acres of land, in the harvesting season working all night on moon light nights as well as all day. i it tella tf the western farmer who with his tfrn boys, one 12 and the other 14 or IS years of age,- raised 1,500 cheep and cultivated a 500 aero farm ta addiUoa without assistance. At tfea ethe? end of tho country the Mefc&atHd Trust Company of San France BUblisfcea a monthly review.

There must be reform before aid will be extended. We are in no mood to finance the starting of new wars. If this next conference shows a genuine European repentance and a change of heart, American aid will not be long withheld. Meanwhile, this dinning of the charge of "selfishness" into America's ears, abroad and at home, is doing the cause and the hope of Europe far more harm than good.

Among the articles contained in the current issue are those on Mexico's debt, past and present; water power in a. California, metal mining in Utah, the financial situation in Japan, the status of the Oregon lumber . industry, Hawaiian sugar and the farming situation in Idaho. This Issue contains a fac simile reproduction of a map of North America published in 1650. California is shown as an island and Alaska does not ap: ?ar at all. At the time of the original publication, its publishers described the map as "new and most accurate." The bulletin frequently publishes such curiosities of special interest on the Pacif.e Coast. One of the livliest and most readable of the bank bulletins, from a human interest point of view, is that published monthly by the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis. T; is smaller in size than either of thoso named above but aiways brims over with interest, not only to bankers and business men but to everyone who 13 interested in the way human being3 live. While it contains serious discussions of business and financial conditions it dees not exculde an occasional story about bank robberies, nor does it scorn anecdotes. Always these are connected smoothly with the point of the main discussion The Guaranty Survey is another monthly published by the Guaranty Trust Company of New York. Commerce Monthly is quite a pretentious publication issued by the National Bank of Commerce in New York. Both of these are invariably serious In tona and prepared in a style unlikely to captivate the casual reader. The Girard Letter, published by the Girard National Bank of Philadelphia is a small pamphlet buf invariably attractive. It contains stories of business which vie in interest with the best published in the commercial magazines. Each of the Federal Reserve Banks, publishes a monthly bulletin, reporting in careful detail the condition of business, industry, trade and finance in its district. These are rather heavy publications, that published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland probably being the only one which occasionally prints matter of general interest Editors Unknown To Readers. These bank publications are anonymous. The articles are not signed and usually no editor's name is given. The men who make them get no glory out of their work excepting within the'r own organizations, but the public gets the benefit of their best efforts. The list could be continued almost interminably. There are hundreds of such publications, most of them monthlies, but a few semi-monthlies. Many of them are merely small two or four page pamphlets of purely local interest.

A bank will be prosperous if Its customers are prosperous. Bank officials realize the value of education, especially current education, which means reliable and prompt information about important occurences in the economic life of the country. The business man who does not understand what relation the German reparations or the Near East situation bears on his pocketbook can find out by reading such publications as those mentioned above. He will know what effects various kinds of legislation are having on the country and what production and prices are in a number of fields. The banks consider that they spend their money wisely when they educate the business people with whom they deal and therefore they spare no expense in issuing periodicals of genuine merit.

SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason HE MEN Strong and fearless men go forth, where the arctic tempests sweep, in the reaches of the North, where the snow is 10 feet deep: and they battle with the gales, and they scrap with wolverenes, that we may have he-men tales in the fiction magazines. They would all be better off in a sunny clime like ours, where the sportive minded toff may cavort among the flowers; but they freeze their fingernails and they live on frozen beans; for we must have he-men tales in the fiction magazines. And the he-men roam the woods in the tempest and the snow, seeking hides and other goods worth about two bits a throw; and the gentle reader pales while his rocking chair careens, as he reads the he-men tales in the fiction magazines. There are he-men in the town, far away from polar bears ; some of them are holding down cheap and wobbly office chairs; there are great heroic males toiling in their greasy jeans; but they figure in no tales in the he-men magazines. But the he-men have to go to the burning wastes of sand, or the wilderness of snow, where the gloomy forests stand; they must follow far off trails: if they don't they spill the beans, and they figure in no tales In the red blood magazines.

When a Feller Needs a Friend

When Your Er43AGeiNef4TS

s TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can." "Taka It." "Up" , "DRUGS AND MUSIC You see many strange things in a small town. The other day I passed through a little settlement of perhaps 300 people. Merely a handful of houses, one street Main Street, of course and one store. From quite a distance, as you looked down this street, only one sign was visible. It hung over the sidewalk into the street, and this Is what it said: DRUGS & MUSIC. One would think that these two made up the sole necessities for health and happiness in that small town. I will agree as to the music. But as to the drugs well, it's too bad! ,, Drugs. It got me to thinking that you don't have to go Into drug stores to get drugs. Many of us make our own to our sorrow. A man can drug himself with such drug-thoughts as: "Tomorrow,' "Sometime," "It doesn't matter much anyway," "It can wait," "I'm so tired," "I'll never be happy," and "I was born out of luck." On the other hand he can whistle and sing himself Into heaven itself for heaven is where happiness is. And there is always music there. Mostly, It's low, sweet music for which you have to listen patiently music from some hidden or distant violin, or harp, or flute gentle, like thoughts which have first been bathed in love. The drug thoughts' put us to sleep, make us groggy in action, and take all our initiative from us. But our music thoughts lift us out of ourselves and lead us into usefulness. It is only when the body has been abused that drugs from the store sometimes become necessary. But I am safe, I believe, in stating that music is one of the essentials to life itself. Shakespere, that great understander of human nature, put it better than anyone has ever done before or since: "It hath charms," he says, "to soothe the savage breast to soften rocks!" Could a more striking statement be utteredas to the power of music? Less drugs and more music!

Rome, representing the head3 of the 300 clans which according to prehistoric tradition were merged into tha cantons that formed the Roman Republic. Q. When does a man lift his hat ta other men? P. R. .L A. In recognizing clergymen or distinguished or elderly men of his acquaintance. Q. Why is "Between you and I," in correct? A. J. B. A. Because the preposition between controls the case of both pronouns, which must be in the objective case. ,Q. Will the feeding of meat increase the production of egg from poultry? S. L. A. Hens given meat, fish, or milk products in their diet will lay from S8 to 66 per cent more eggs than those which have only grain food, and what bugs and worms they can pick up on free range. Qi Did the batter ever have four strikes in baseball? N. P. A. In 1887 the batter was allowed four strikes. This lasted but one year, when three strikes became the rule.
