scant success. The legion at its annual convention at New Orleans' adopted a resolution deploring the tendency to use Memorial day as a day of pleasure . and . urging upon the people of the United States the observance of the occasion in the manner and spirit for which it was instituted. The state department, which the co-operation of the Jndianapolis Chamber of Commerce, is endeavoring to .curb the undue emphasis placed upon professional sports, particularly the Speedway race.

Sacred. "Every citizen

which this event has contributed to the city's fame throughout the automobile world and looks forward to the occasion which brings race en

the memory

thusiasts here from all parts of the country. It has been demonstrated that the financial success

of this automobile classic does not depend upon a holiday, but that the same throngs will pour

"Americans

through the turnstiles on a Saturday.. For this

they owe those eternal bivouac, in the nervous

reason the Speedway management should gladly co-operate in the movement to make Memorial day sacred alone to the nation's departed heroes.

It would be more

were held on Sunday, for the patriotism which seeks expression on Memorial day is of that

exalted, ennobling character which is akin to religion. So long as May 30 is set apart, however, it should be kept free from noisy distractions. It is not asking too much to turn for one

day of the year to

heroic dead and in that spirit to place flowers on the graves of those patriots who fought and died that this nation and others might be preserved.'

THE FRIENDLY CIRCLE HERE AND THERE By George Matthew Adams ;

I like my little friendly circle. It covers miles and miles because pals and friends are not measured by distance or weight or color or anything. There's "Fritzie" he's one of Uncle Sam's men out on the sea thousands of miles from my little typewriter, my books and my home. But he's one of the. circle. And he warms it i and stretches it, so that these hearer are made all the more beautiful to me. And I could take them up, one by one, in the same way but, you eee, it's my circle and you wouldn't be interested. But you have a circle, too! What a small, shrivelling world it would be without these circles. Each one in every circle meeting the different moods and wants, and each one always ready to help or to suggest and sometimes to admonish kindly. I have noticed that the greater a man becomes, the more dependent he is on this friendly circle. Jesus had His disciples. And no one ever understood his friendly circle like He did. There were both men and women in that circle. Only on one or two occasions did He steal away to be absolutely alone. For there are times when even the friendly circle seems powerless to help, and when a Higher Power must be appealed to for super-human strength. The man or woman who travels through life without a friendly circle to lighten and brighten the way is one of the saddest sights in human life itself. What would Christmas mean to such a one? What could success mean? If, indeed, there could be a success under such a circumstance. Love your friendly circle. Stream it with warmth!

Who's Who in the Day's News MASON MITCHELL Mason Mitchell, the American consul at Malta, the Maltese Islands, who is recovering from a bullet wound received when an effort was made to as sassinate him, has had a most colorful career. The shooting episode is a mere incident in the life of Mitchell who has been actor, writer, soldier, traveler sfnd diplomat. He was horn in Hamilton, N. Y., in 1859. He was educated at St. John's school and Phillips - .: ' AAsow Mitchell Academy, starting his theatrical ca-j reer at the age of 18 at the old Broadway theatre in New York and during his years on the stage he played with Edwin Booth. Lawrence Barrett, John McCullough, Mme. Modjeska and Mary Anderson. Mason then became chief of scouts under the Canadian government and fought through the Riel Rebellion in 1885. He was promotedfor gallantry iii action. Then he started traveling through South America and South Sea Islands writing and illustrating articles of travel in those countries for various magazines. He was for some time in Samoa with Robert Louis Stevenson. After his travels he returned to the stage and became manager of the Garrick theatre for Richard Mansfield. In 1896 he was leading man with Dion Boucicault. Two years later he gave up the stage to join Roosevelt's Rough Riders and was wounded at the battle of Santiago. Hi3 first appointment as consul to represent the United States was at Zanzibar from 1902-05. From 1905 to 1908 he was at Chungking, China, and from then until 1920 he was consul at Apia, Somoa. He then moved to Queenstown, Ireland, for a year at the consulate there and last year he was given the post at Malta. At the outbreak of the World war he took over the British and French interests in German Samoa. To Cure a Cold in One Day Take Laxative BR'OMO QUININE tablets. The box bears the signature of E. W.

Rippling Rhvmes By Walt Mason SERVICE When first I bought a ehugmobile 'twas in the misty long ago the deal er made an ardent spiel of service that he would bestow: and so I grasped the steering wheel and pushed the tumbril to and fro. In those dark days our motor cars were needing service all the time; the works were full of squeaks and jars, and every piston was a crime, and I would break some rods or bars whene'er a hill I tried to climb. And Y. Z. Spink, the man who said he'd give jne service good as wheat, would start my motor when 'twas dead, and make its pulses strongly beat; he often left his downy bed to make my bus go up the street. The years have gone, and Y. Z. Spink does business at the ancient stand, and I have sent to him, I think, some fifty men with coin in hand, who wished to buy cheap cars of zinc, or boats more sumptuous and grand. I say to them, "This delegate will promise service when you buy, and all he says is goqd and straight; like George, he cannot tell a lie;" this makes a hit with every skate who has been fooled by some false guy. That merchant ornaments his town who makes his talk of service good; he gains a fine and high renown far, far outside his neighborhood; and there are diamonds in his crown that glitter as such jewels should.

Banks as Publishers Many Financial Institutions Put Out Worth While Books on Many Interesting Subjects.

By FREDERICK J. HASKIS . WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec 26. The ranks of book publishers in the United States have been greatly augmented in the last few year3 by the banks. A bank may not appear to be a logical book publisher, but the managers of such institutions have come to the conclusion that they can keep themselves and their business facilities in the minds of the public by the publication of books and so have rot let the seeming incongruity of the practice stand in the way. To be sure banks do not publish novels and books of that character, but sometimes they do not fall much short of such popular publications, instance, the Old Colony Trust company of Boston recently published an interesting history of the landing of the Pilgrims and the early settlements of Massachusetts. A hundred thousand copies of this book were distrib- ! uted. The Mercantile Trust company ' of San Francisco is publishing serially : in its monthly magazine, a history of Itrade and commerce and development !of the Pacific coast from the earliest times to the present. Donbtless this will be" issued in book form when the serial publication is completed, as in the case of novels published in install ments. To cite an even more unusual case, the Continental ana commercial Bank of Chicago not long ago puolishrd a book of nursery rhpmes, profusely illustrated in color. As a rule the books published by banks relate more especially to subjects with banking or with business activities having to do directly or indirectly with banking. Many banks publish books in the form of manuals on Federal taxation. Such books interpret the income tax laws in a manner which will make the filing of returns and the paying of taxes easier for persons not expert in such work. These books, in the hands of the depositors and customers of the bank, assist materially in the difficult task of making tax returns and the intended result is that the person receiving such assistance will have a good word to say for the bank from which he obtained his book. Eooks Are Given Away Books published by banks almost invariably are given away. Many banks give their books away broadcast; others are more particular and give them only o fvored customers. In practically no case does a bank make any charge for a book, despite the fact that the volume would cost the customers from $1 to $3 if purchased at a book store.

The war was largely responsible for the entrance of the American banks into the book publishing business. The war increased the habit of reading among the American people. The fact that there was so much of importance to read, if one was to keep up -with a rapidly changing world, had much to do with this so far as the people left at home were concerned. As for the soldiers, the activities of such bodies as the American Library asociation, the Y. M. C. A. and other societies which did welfare work, increased their reading. Hundreds of thousands of young men who previously had not had time or inclination for reading, found themselves frequently immured in cantonments, rest camps or billets where time hung heavy. The welfare societies placed books at their disposal and many turned to reading who never had read much before. Some even learned to read in these camps. When these men returned, a liberal proportion of them retained the read' ing habit with the result that the American people are readers now as never before. This gave the banks an opportunity to present their story whenever they had a story to present which would be; helpful to customers or prospective ! customers. They capitalized the in creased habit of reading to get people to read about business affairs. The benefit to the banks from such a pol icy is indirect, but the banks have felt that the effort and expenses is worth making. Certainly the entrance of the banks into the book publishing business has added substantially to the libraries of the country and to the information of the citizens. The educational factor in this publication business is not inconsiderable. For instance, a group of American banks published a book giving accurate digests of the German and Austrian peace treaties as soon as those historic documents were made available. Thousands of citizens probably never would have come into possession of full reviews of the treaty provisions had this book not been published. Similarly, a group of banks published a book embodying the more important statistics of the Fourteenth Census of the United States some months before the government issued the statistics in book form.

their enterprise is the intangible thing called in 'business "good will." Business experience has taught that this good will is worth more than a spten- i

did bank building. Several of the larger banks have es tablished whole series of books which gradually will be built into substantial libraries. Such institutions issue all their books in uniform bindings and cover desgns. The series of the Bank ers Trust Company of New York i3 typical. A recent volume of the Bankers Trust series is a 300-page book en titled French Public Finance . in the Great War and Today. This work traces the early beginnings of organ ized French public finance. It has an interesting chapter on the finances of Napoleon's wars. Tracing the French debt and financial operations through the European war, it gives an analysis of the existing situation. A similar work is entitled English Pub lic Finance from the Revolution of 16S8. The story of the Bank of England, as well as many other important chapters in British national finance, is told in this volume. Among other Bankers Trust books are Our Public Debt, which traces the American finances, from Alexander Hamilton's time down to date; the Do-' minion of Canada, which fully describes the resources of that part of the world, and America Merchant Marine, a history of the development of American merchant power on the seas. Apparently the great banks do not stop at expense. Many of their books, even when intended for free distribution, are published in a fashion as de luxe as that employed at the most fastidious commercial publishers. Indeed, objections recently hare been recorded by commercial publish ing houses against what they regard as the unfair competition of the banks. They assert that for banks to publish at their own expense fine books which are given away hurts the legitimate business of publishers who must make their profits from selling books. The authors of the books rublishieil - by banks are, of course, paid outright i by the banks. The books being given away there is no question of royalties. A lump sum is paid down. In some cases officials of the banks, experts in certain lines, write poobs published by the banks. The Guaranty Trust Company of New York, the Irving National bank, the National Shawmut Bank of Boston and the Mellon National Bank of Pittsburgh are other important book publishers. Apparently the increased appetite of America for reading matter asborbs what is printed because the business of the commercial book publishers continues to increase.
