feet that former Sheriff Carl Ruempler,

BANK WAS FOOLED
BY FORGED CHECK
National City of New York Is Victim
Of 100000 SteaI-Thief
Not Found.

New York, Sept. 30.-lt was the
National City bank, the Standard OH
institution, that was victimized by the
theft of 100000 in securities. The
theft was committed by means of a
check forged in the name of Pear &
Co., firm of stock brokers, which
had deposited the paper to secure a
loan of 100000. The clever thief,
appeared to know all about the
transaction, was taken by the bank
official as a messenger for Pearl Il
Co.. and on 'deposlting the check he
was handed over the securities. No
trace of the. thief has yet been found.
An official of the National City bank
who described the transaction involv-
ing the surrender of the securities by
the bank, said that they did not diff
fer from many bona fide transactions
common in the financial district. 1t

Laughter and Health.

A physician in search of remedies
for human ills finds that laughter
stands very high in the list of prophy-
Tactics. The effect of mere cheerful
ness as health promoter is well

downright laughter is the heroic rem
edy. 1t IL a matter of everyday expert
cnce. says the authority in question,
that one feels the better for u good
laugh, an explosion of laughter being

IFS effect to II thunderstorm In nature,
