BANK MANAGEMENT It is well to establish sound rules of banking to safeguard the depositors, but to formulate a scheme of bank manage- ment through fiat of law which will function properly in the face of changing conditions is impossible of attainment. The pow of the state banking board and bank examiner should be strengthened. If the proper authority is given the bank examiner and strict examinations are made, the system of banking would improve in this state. Putting into law a policy for banks,’ enacting a code of “dont’s” and “musts” will not cure the ills, some of which are purely of an economic nature and beset-every busin Care in the granting of bank charters in the first instance | will do much to eliminate “wild cat” banking and loose man- agement. If the state board intrusted with such power yefuses to charter a bank in a city or village where the banking needs are adequately cared for many failures would be-averted. Such safeguards are more vital and materi | sound banking than to work out on paper a hard and fast } process of bank management. Strict supervision and absolute control against dishon- esty and “wild cat” methods can cure most of the evils which some of the proposed involved legislation proposes to elim- inate. POE MUST TURN IN HIS GRAVE i “What's in a word”—or in a whole series of them?’ Some- times a lot. Here, for instance, is Poe’s “Raven” retranslated into “English by a British writer from a perfectly serious French translation: “T pushed the shutter. A superb raven darted into my chamber, fluttering his wings. He did not make me any reverence. He came in as if he felt perfectly at home, and _ perched, full of majesty, with the grand airs of a lord or a Tady, on a bust of Pallas above my door, * “I could not refrain from. smiling before the grave coun- “ tenance of this bird of ebony. ‘Tell me,’ I said aloud, ‘what «,is your lordly name on this Plutonian shore of the night?” “He responded, ‘Never again! © This response did not #=8eem to have much sense. “Did it ever happen to anybody. to find at midnight over His door on a bust of Pallas a bird calling itself ‘Never ron again’? Ise Try that on your poetic organ, you who think the study! of foreign languages is useless, because “everything has been translated.” | LESS NOISE A filter device has been perfected by a University of | Towa physics professor—Dr. G. W. Stewart—who believes it eventually may be used to eliminate undesirable noises and to adjust sounds to “an individual’s esthetic taste.” Results are obtained, explains Dr. Stewart, by setting up a sort of battle between various sound waves, thus causing disordered transmission. : It is a new basic method of manipulating sound waves and may find application in many acoustic devices now in use. It is easily as desirable to shut out annoying sounds as| it is to hear pleasant ones. It is to be hoped, then; that the good doctor finds the necessary capital to put the finishing touches on his invention. pink of eliminating static—or a midnight feline sere- nade! BARBER CHAIR If it is true that a man’s face is his fortune, then the American male certainly is capitalizing on it. American men spend 750 million dollars a year in their barber shops, 300 million of which goes for facial massage and hair tonics, according to Joseph Byrne, publisher of the Barbers’ Journal. What induces men to expend their time and money so prodigally on this “beauty culture”? Prosperity is the first answer of those who have spent a lifetime studying the barber trade. Rivalry between the sexes for youthful appearance and enjoyment of the relaxa- tion come next. ‘The care of his,face is’ rapidly becoming as important to the male of the American species as to the female. Men have little excuse to laugh at women’s “vanities.” i FORGOTTEN It would seem that we all need strings tied around our fingers. An eastern railroad, specializing in commuter traf- fic, gathered during one year slightly more than 10,000 ar- ticles left on its trains and in its stationssby travelers. Indeed, the task of collecting and returning lost articles has grown to be an important function of Aimerican rail- roads, for more than a million such articles find their way into the hands of railroads each year. This absent mindedness is costing: us a lot in money and lost time. A memory course might be worth while for many. of us. .

Rowell Senator Dupont expresses the opinion that low, pay is one reason why capable men increasingly hesitate to go to Congress. : Men to whom, 10 years ago, the Dupont industries would have paid the equivalent. of a Congressional salary, now get four or five times that sum.

HOW MUCH DID THE FARMER GET? Wheat goes up to $2, or there- abouts. How much of it did the farmers get? And how much of their loss. was due to unlogding before election, on the propaganda that the early rise was a mere political device of myth- 1 market manipulators? Anyhow, much of the “spread” be- tween the first and the latest price of wheat is always going to be ab- sorbed by middlemen, ° until the farmers go into the holding business themselves. The wheat is harvested in a few weeks, but its consumption extends over 12 months. Somebody is ‘going to be paid for holding it, and if the holder must risk the speculative losses, he is also going to keep the speculative pro- fits. It is disputed whether, counting costs and losses sgainst gains, the farmers would win or lose by going co-operatively into the holding busi- ness. But they must either do it them- or permit someone else to elf for doing it. pay h CUTTING OUT THE RED TAPE } The budget, being new, still needs “stunts” for publicity purposes, The first year it was brooms, This year it is cutting out the blue stripe to obscurity and futility.

MAKING IT EASY FOR OUR DESCENDANTS “ Manila announces war on nfosqui- toes, to combat the malaria — which kills more people in the Philippines than all other causes combined. Some day, the last malarial plas- modium in existence will be de- stroyed, never again to appear on earth, That is already in sight, with the yellow-fever germ. It survives only in a few out-of-the-way spots, and one year in these places of such steps as have been taken elsewhere would make yellow fever as extinct as the dinosaurus. Man has destroyed larger crea- tures—the aurochs, the dodo and the passenger pigeon—-down to the last individual, and could easily do so to the American bison, and several oth- er species. The earth will not be really in- habitable until he has done the same thing to his microscopic enemie: That will be accomplished within 10 years with yellow fever. By the time our descendants be- come too decadent to survive the vicissitudes of life, there may be none left to face.
