OLD HISTORY is REVEALED
Valuable Manuscripts Relating to the
Early Colonial Times Discov-
cred in England.

Dr.. Charles Andrews, professor of
history at Bryn Mawr college, recently
returned to his home in Hartford, Conn.,,
from England, where he has made some
very valuable discoveries of manuscript
in the record Office there relating to
the early history of this country. About
$4,000 was appropriated recently by the
Carnegie institute for research along
this line, which was undertaken by DR.
Andrews. He said that matter was
scattered about In different depart
ments, but that there was an enormous
amount Of manuscript hidden away that
dealt entirely with early colonial his
tory here.
DR.. Andrews discovered In the
colonial Office alone about 1000 to $500
volumes of manuscripts. The admir-
atty, treasury, war, home and foreign
offices each had some. There was also
important material in the courts Of law
relating to the charters, writs issued,
ETC.
DR.. Andrews confined himself in re-
search to the period between 1906. tho
starting of the Virginia colony, and
1888, the treaty of Paris.

SUCCESS LIFE

Money stored up by the work
ing man in small savings is a bar
ricade against want. 1t secures
him foothold in times of panic
and failing employers, and en-.
ables him to wait in comfort for
better times.
Without such savings he is not
his own master.
When work fails he cannot seek
for it elsewhere, but is tied to
one spot. The acquisition of
money, at least enough to keep
the ..wolf from the door" is not
only legitimate and praisworthy,
but a positive duty.
We will, most cheerfully, get
you started to saving if you will
open a Saving Fund Account
with us.
