F A Real Community Service “Gol. C. B. Little, through the agency of the First National bank, has performed a real community | service in connection with the partial liquidation or | the affairs of the City National Bank. Together | with W. H. Webb, and others, he devised a feasible scheme to thaw out the best of the defunct bank's assets. . It was no easy task to procure some $490,000 and | those serving at first on the depositors’ commit- tee and now as a holding company worked earnestly | to make available GO per cent of the depositors’ | fmoney. | ‘The operation of a strong financial institution | fuch as the First National Bank has come home | forcibly to many who take the service of a bank as 2 matter of course, but it always takes a crisis to emphasize the value of an institution with re serves and conservative management. When the matter of partial liquidation was first | broached, Col. Little extended every personal fa- tility at his command to expedite the settlement. His acquaintance in Washington, 'D. €., especially with the treasury department, materially aided, and a trip to the national capital by Col. Little smoothed over many of the obstacles encountered | in the early stages of the negotiations. ? With 60 per cent of the deposits now available, relief comes to many who were pinched by the clos- ing of the City National Bank. With good crops and the careful husbanding of other resources. and collateral, another dividend should materialize lat- er, but, of course, that is problematical. Had the receivership been continued and the bank’s affairs wound up under such a regime, the | depositers would have received much less than is being paid out today over the counters of the First Naticnal Bank. Some banks with resources as! great as the City National’s at the time of closing have paid as little as 25 per cent, many even less. | If the depositors take the trouble to investigate, { i | | they can consider that the arrangement made was! especially good and that it was done through the cocperation of such citizens as Col. Little and Mr. Webb, who took a deep interest in saving eve Possible cent for the City National Bank depositors. $7.20 | of him. | Prominence and Service | In this age of press agents, when even scientists and philosophers can gain both fame and money, | jit is a good thing for us to remember that not | many years ago the most serviceable citizens might | | work all their lives in comparative obscurity. | We are referring to the late Prof. Josiah Willard | Gibbs of Yale, whose name that university is now honoring with a special endowment fund. Probably not ten people in a million have heard Yet American industry is deeply in his debt. Prof. Gibbs’ work is unintelligible to one not +| chemist; but it served as a basis for all that has been done in the last two-score years in metallic alloys, This “unheard of” professor contributed to pure science and, at the same time, to American! | industry, Yale is wise in doing his memory justice; For a Medal If American prohibitionists have any apprecia-; tion of bravery, they will try to confer some sort! of a medal on Joseph E. Sheedy, director for Eu-; rope of our Merchant Fleet Corporation. | Net long ago, to celebrate the fiftieth nailing of | the Leviathan under cur flag, Mr. Sheedy threw a big party aboard the ship at Southampton. A spe-j cial train from London took some 400 British ship- ping and industial leaders to the pier. They were | given a royal reception and an elaborate meal. And! then they got the jolt of their lives. | Mr. Sheedy made them wash their viands down in pure water—nothing else. More; he made them! stand up and drink a toast to King George—again in water! They had never done it before; they will | never—if they can help it—do it again, But Mr.! Sheedy made them like it. | Borah’s Answer , | Senator William E. Borah has a good answer for | the people who hold that “force is the only aps ment the Chinese can understand.” He voiced it the other night in a speech at Cleveland. H “If force is used,” he said, “it will be because! those who use it don’t understand anything else. If force is used it will not be because of lack of moral perception on the part of the Chinese, but lack of! moral perception ‘by those who use ferce.” Many Americans feel the same way. That’s why | this country is so obviously opposed to the “mailed, fist” measures that some people are trying to urge); on us in China. Too Many Laws Legislative assemblies meeting in 44 states of the union this year, introduced some 40,000 new bills, 10,000 of which have become or are soon to become laws. This unlimited spawning of hothouse legislation is not a’ new disease or symptom of disease. It has| been chronic for so long a time that even the best lawyers of the country find themselves confused by the spreading complexity in this cancer on the legal | code. The plea for simplification cannot be made too often. e , Real He-Men Are American young men becoming effeminate and sissy-fied? We often hear that they are; but | we doubt it.

Faith and Bob looked at each other with blank eyes, sick with dis: pointment, when they saw that senger who alighted from the they were pursuing was not a crip- twisted old wreck of a man, but pping, tall, middleaged business man. He paid his fare and passed through the storm door of) the building's entrance. “I suppose I'm a fool, but I want to follow that man, find out where the beggar got out and he got in, You sit here, foney, and if a cop tries: to: pinch you for parking in the ‘no parking’ ‘zone, tell him I'm on police business.’ God knows I hope 1 am And Bob swung out of his car and ran ‘into the building.

Bob smiled. “That's a new one, isn't it? What does he do—teach or so ago. In fact, he was wearing a nifty suit of horizontal stripes.” “What in the world do you mean, Bob?" Faith gasped. “What is he? “None other than Brady W.

CHAPTER XXXVII Under the trees-at the side of the {road along a road near LaSuze, in Sarthe, which is near LeMans, stands an odd looking rig. Judging from the boilers it might be some kit to a threshing engine and it looks something like a utility wagon for a traveling circus. But it’s neither— itinerant A. E. F. ‘That was a machine, eh soldier? The engineers called around with it, hitched back of a sturdy truck. They got up steam and ran a couple of liries of hose into some old stone house. Then they erected a couple of shower baths ahd put all the clothes in the boiler. ae While ed ih ye é ‘arly one crispy spring evening in aviv one of these outfits wheeled into town in the LeMans area. And it accommodated some 300 ‘soldiers. Before the duds were returned, and while the boys stood around naked, it jis believed that an A.

A. U. of the A, E. F. as of- ficial. No distinguished "service crosses for gallantry in the delousing Uke were awarded, however. ‘Strange Souvenir Just what this particular machine is doing in this field near LaSuze is a question. It is very rusty and it needs a lot of ofl. Just how good a job of d sing it would do at this time is problematic.. Maybe the peas- ant, who owns it uses it in connec- tion with his harvesting work. Or he might’ be applying it as a well- digger. But, more than likely, he found it just where the delousers { knocked off when they heard the call to depart for America—immediately. And ‘he probably is keeping it’ as a bon souvenir of the shivering boys he knew in the A. E. F. It's a cially, when the steam is low and there's no motor around to tow it with, but it is not so much more absurd, at that, than some of the souvenirs the Americans carried back to the Etats-Unis, Maybe some Le- gionnaire will grab it off this Sep- tember.

But we are fooling curselves. The man who asked ‘the questions quoted here probably will never understand the difference. There is a deep gulf hetween our popular airs of today and the music @f Verdi, of Wagner, of Liszt and of Beethoven; | but many will never be able to see it. * Back of what we call classical music there lies emotional and intellectual travail. Music like that in Wagner's “Tristan” comes only out of a great soul. It expresses unutterable longing, unutter- @ble sadness; it is the mouthpiece for surging feel- ings that no words on earth could express. * For that reason really great music endures. It is universal. It expresses age-old emotions, provides am outlet for feelings that are common to all men in all times. © And jazz? It is hammered out in Tin Pan Alley, @ften by men who can read not a note of music. Its background is the shallow soul cf the night- ¢lub habitue or the dance-hall saxophonist. It is frothy and shallow. Never does it seize, the whole feing; never does it give. immortal dreams and heroic strugglings. » Test it.

But these same young men and older men do not seem to have any regard for! mother when they take too much hooch, run amuck ‘and then get in the hands of the law anl are fined and sometimes sentenced to jail. They should think of mother before they do this. Then they should | think how lucky they are that in one of these wild joyrides of theirs they miss running over and killing some person or maiming them badly. Why use such scb stuff, anyway? “We say that any man that | runs amuck and gets full and gets fined for reck- less driving deserves more than the usually gets and if he wants to keep his name out of print: he better ‘keep out of court—that is a sure way ‘to keep out | of print.. It is getting to be a habit for some folks to come in and tell the editor how to run the paper arid if he | disagrees with them they say, “Well, we do a lot of a thing we are going to chop out our business and! | go some place else.” In other words we are going to |take the independence of your paper away from you unless we can run the paper ourselves.
