FATAL THOUGHT VIBRATIONS “Imogene is terribly mad at me” confided the Hyde Park man as he took the seat mext to his friend from Wood- lawn and @isposed of a large sigh, “And it's been some time since she has been in that state of mind. When you've been married some years your wife mus- nally is too busy to spend time getting mad af you! In a way I expect I ought to feel complimented!” “Well, you couldn’t expect the girl to engage herself in a perpetual state of lost temper,” the Weodlawn man re- proved him. “I have no doubt that if Imegene lost control of her placid dis- position every time you gave her cause she would ba nothing in the world but a human volcano! What's your latest crime?” “That's what she called it.” gloomed the Hyde Park man. “I came home last night and Imogene met me, her face wreathed In triumphal smiles. “It's a surprise,’ she confided, twisting the top button of my coat. ‘We're going to have something for dinner you are very fond of—and I reproach myself that I haven't had it once this winter! In fact, 1 had almost forgotten about it and you've been a perfect darling not to have fussed about it! I expect you to eat your head off, tool’ “Then all of a sudden she paused and asked, “What did you have for lunch today? Right there is where I should have had more sense. Rather than tell her what'I had really had for luncheon I should have extemporized sbmething such as hippopotamus steak, whale stew or penguin roast. But I am an honest, guileless soul. “F had corned beef and cabbage’ I told Imogene Innocently. Whereupon she drew herself up, stared at me with the eyes of a gazelle wounded to the heart and burst into a flood of tears. She knew it, she might have known it! “It was beyond belief! Let her work her head off thinking up something nice to do for me and I always had to go and spofl it! TWith all the items on the menu to choose from.I had, with dia- bolical ingenuity, gone and deliberately selected corned beef and cabbage.” “Well, Great Scott, what's the point?” demanded the Woodlawn man. “Is there an ordinance against a man's having corned beef and cabbage if he wants it “There will be if Imogene has any- fhing to say about it said the Hyde oDD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY e s e e OUR FIRST EFFORTS AT BANKING Previous to the Revolution littls or no effort was made to establish a system of banking in this country, and the exig- encies of that conflict forced the adoption of the first measures of that character. In 1780 the financial distress of the coun- try was so great that no man could see how the war was to to be brought to a happy conclusion. In 1781 jnatters had even come to a worse stats. The troops were unpaid, unfed, without clothes and without arms. The clerks employed in the government offices received not one cent of salary. In shott, the work of our government dragged one like a hdavily-loaded car- riage without wheels, and the most hope- ful began to despalr. - At this junction the eredit of the na- tion was; Testored by the happy genius of Robert Morris hrough he esablishment of a national bank, the Bank- of North America, at Philadelphia. This vener- able institution was started in November, 1781, and incorporated by resolutions of congress of December 23 of the year. The early operatlons of this institution were attended with innumersble difficul- ties, both on account of the universal fin- ance distress and the utter inexperience of those who were called on to conduct |its affairs. Little by little, however, through prudent management stacles to its success were overcome.

In 17T anti- bank agitation arose, which, after a war of pamphlets and broad sheets, finally led to a repeal by the assembly of Penn- sylvania of the charter by it to the in- stitution. So, disastrous, however, was the effect of this step upon the interests of the community that within two years the as- sembly acknowledged their error and, in obedience to an overwhelming populaz outery, rastored the corporate franchise, although not without some new and har- asing restrictions. From henceforth the Bank of North America lost the distinctively national character by which its early operations had been marked At the breakout of war of the rebellion the Bank of North America was one of the first to disclose it loyalty Nor did it confine itself to words only, bff actually advanced four and a half million of money, either di- rectly.to the government or upon United States securities In 1884 it became a na- tional bank under the. provisions of the act of congress, retaining alone: of all the national banks in the country its original title, “The Bank of North Ameri- a hos ca,” without the usual prefix of “nation- al” (Tomorrow—When We Adopted Standard Time) READ YOUR CHARACTER By Digby Phillips, Copyrighted 1921 Broad Shoulders Do broad-shouldered girls make good wives? Of course they do, if they marry men to their own. But broad-shouldered girls are likely to be quike different in temperatment and character from girls who have narrow shoulders. There is a difference indicated, too, between broad and narrow-shouldered men. As was pointed”out in a previous article, shoulders are not what you might consider & prime-indication, but rather a partial one, and must always be judged in connection with other in- dications.

We are »™ famillar with the memora~ ble scene enacted in Mrs. Ruggles’ kitch- en (The Bird's Christmas Carol), when Mrs. Ruggles, distraught and determined. struggled to implant the rules of polite behavior in the minds of her nine harum- scarum youngsters during the space of a few fleeting hours. Tne scene was oc- casioned by their almost immediate ap- pearance at Mrs. Bird's dinner table and their mother's terror lest they conduct themselves in too outrageous a manner Today mothers are confronted with the same problem, though in a less acute and humorous degree. Ciildren go forth ta take part in a larger group than the im= mediate family one, and unless we have managed wisely and surely from thé very beginnings we are beset with the same misgivings which Mrs. Rugeles endured, gled indignation and pity. -Indignation that his parents have allowed things to come to such a pass; pity that the cbild must face existence so handicacved at the start. The mistaken devotion which takes for desires means deprivation, which cznnot bear to see a child suffer temporary dis- appointment or pun?shment, alows him to develop an individidlfty which later will sap and prey upon all other Indi- viduals with whom he comes in contact. The mother who [5° after her chil- dren all day, aicking up mislaid play- things and articles of clothing, who makes countless trips upstairs in answer to repeated calls after they are supposed to have gone to bed, who rises to shut doors left swinging as they rush in and out, who responds wearily and patiently to ceaseless demands and questions flung at her as she tries to read or write, and who_has never really known a moment’s repose during her wchildren's waking hours, Tnstead of being a martyr is a menace, for her children wili become the careless, arrogant, selfish men and wom- en of the next generation. ‘The mother who determines that her children must abide by the standard which requires painstaking effort and re- sponsibility, who demands the Same de- gree of courtesy and consideration to be extended toward her as she extends td her children, who expects them in respect her rights as truly as< she respacts tielrs, will find herself blessedly relieved of mortificaion and cha.rin and she will know the joy of a cer‘aln sureness and repose which will increass her days in the land of the living, nn maittsr how filled they may be Wwilh matarn: dlltlel.l l Btories That Recall Others I Gat a “Winter” Mark Paul in the first grade of school brought home an exercise paper which the the teacher had marked with a big cross from corner to corner, and demanded fo know what the mark meant.

The next-day he brought home another paper in great elation. “I got a better mark today,” he said, I was marked ‘winter.’ Lots of other kids ‘were marked ‘winter’ too.” His mother examined the paper on which the teacher by the way of variety had placed a big cypher. “Why, that's as bad as yesterday,” the mother explained. “That's zero.
