How much the American Banking
Association has done to protect the
public from professional bank robbers
was recently brought out in state
ment made by the secretary Of the pro-
tecttye department. The work of this
department is the relentless pursuit
and prosecution of bank burglars. 1t
employs its own detectives and it's own
lawyers, and keeps funds constantly
on hand for all necessary expenses. So
great is its reputation for hunting
down burglars and securing their pun
ishment that attempts upon the vaults
OF banks belonging to the association
have now become exceedingly rare.
Although tt has been. in existence only
ten years, 1t has helped to convict
more than two hundred burglars,
about the same number Of forgers and
other swindlers, and has secured SEN
fences aggregating some three thou
sand years.

affairs and fight their own battles
without assistance from the United
States. Countries like Brazil and
Chill, for instance, are able to walk

considerable caution in order to avoid

Every once in awhile some one with
a genius for looking at figures through
strange lenses delves into the United
States census reports and hobs up with
the startling discovery that man is be-
ing hopelessly swamped by the indus
trial progress of women. The figures
that tell of large increase Of women
ii gainful occupations are in official
reports. Women are employed all
about us. The researcher" reads,
notes the tide Of feminity that is max
ing it's own way in the world, grows
alarmed for his sex, md lifts up his
stentorian voice in warning. The Iast
of these periodical warnings is a gem.
"The moan Of the receding masculine
labor is already In our ears. Federal
census figures show that the star Of
the industrial woman is in the ascen-
dency, while man falls with the fall
of the wage schedule, and as machine
labor increases he looks upon mechan
ism much as the jaded horse looks
upon the automobile" The picture Is
striking. Poor man resigns the reins
he has held for SO long, and, stepping
aside, mournfully regards the world as
it goes forward under the spur of a
new driver in the shape of woman.
Poor man! You were a good driver
while you lasted, but your days are
over. Farewell, trousers! Hail, skirts!
The style of reasoning employed by
those who see the finish of man writ
ten in such unmistakable characters is
eloquently illustrated by the following.
''In Wyoming So per cent Of the popu-
lation is male. 1t would appear that
man, like the Indian, is being driven
West and that the competitive life is
driving him toward the inevitable sun
set Of his career, which means that he
must earn his bread by the sweat of
his brow only in those fields Of manual
labor that woman. cannot FILL" This is
new light. Generally the belief has
been that it is quite the natural thing
to have men in preponderating num-
bers in a new country. Women follow
afterward, when the way has been
cleared and made q little smooth; for
even the industrial woman Is of the
weaker sex. AS for woman super
seding man in business life, the ques-
ton has been thrashed out long ago.
Woman does not make as good a "busi-
ness man" as man, and it Is quality
that business requires in its rulers.
Besides, the more woman sees of the
world from an industrial standpoint
the more she knows that this Is the
truth and the more resigned to it she
is. The wiser she becomes in the
ways Of the world the more apparent
1t Is TO her that her throne is not in
the marts of trade: 1t Is in the home.
A few years in business life tells most
women positively what Is the best pro-
fession for them to follow. And, be
cause they are growing more and more
wise, they follow It, And the name Of
the profession Is Matrimony.

Things of the Past.

The enchantment of distance prompts
us to exalt and adore those who made
the past ages illustrious. The element
of envy, which is the viper in our hearts,
is latent when we are considering the
oratory of Webster, the genius of Shake
speare, the art of Angelo. Possibly in
the unnumbered years to come men will
place some of our contemporaries upon
the pinnacle of fame. Few men are fully
appreciated in their own time. We may
have as wise men as Solomon, as strong
as Samson, as patient as Job, but we do
not appreciate them. We know that We
have as easily tempted men as Adam,
and better sailors than Noah, but they
are the men Of to-day. and the things Of
to-day are always commonplace when
compared with the things Of antiquity.
We scatter our flowers always upon the
bier of the past.-From Vest Pocket

CURIOUS PENSION FIGURES
Three Relatives Of Revolutionary
War Heroes Still Supported
by Uncle Sam.

Some Of our pension statistics are
curious. For example, We learn that
there are still on the rolls three pension
ers of the revolutionary war, which was
brought to an end over 120 years ago. OF
pensioners accredited to the war Of 1872,
says the Success Magazine, there stili
remain 919, while OF the Mexican war no
fewer than 1905 survive. OF those ac-
credited to the revolutionary war, one Is
widow and two are daughters. The re-
port shows that pension payments are
made to people residing in every state
and territory in the union, and in almost
every known country on the globe.
Among the states, Ohio leads in the
amount of pension money paid annually
to its citizens, with Pennsylvania Sec
ond New York third, and Illinois and
Indiana following closely. At the date
of the report, there were 4,9l0 pensioners
residing outside of the United States,
and they drew 1922, 440.69 in the last
went to persons in Canada. Quarterly
pension vouchers were sent besides to
persons in Mexico, South America, every
country in Europe, the Azores. the Bar
bados, China, the Comoro Isles. East and
South Africa, Samoa, the Seychelles is
lands, Siam and st. Martin. II shows
that the pension bureau was busy Office
last year More than 26S,000 cases were
passed upon, and $4,000 certificates
were issued. No fewer than los, ia APP
plications were rejected, of which $1,000
were thrown out on medical and $4,000
on legal grounds.

ARE KNOWN AS "DIPPERs."
People Who Help Themselves to
Candies in the Big Depart
ment Stores.

1T is petty larceny by the whole
SALE" said a fioorwalher In one Of the
big department stores to Washington
Star reporter, referring to the many
persons in the passing throngs who
thoughtlessly pick up a piece or two
of candy as they pass the stand on
which are heaped peanut brittle, cara
mels or other forms of candy. "Still,
if should stop one of those women
and even intimate that she had stolen
the few bits of candy she had taken
her Indignation would be unbounded.
The fact remains, however, that the
picking-up-candy habit is general one
and in the course of a day the less
from this practice will foot up from rs
to 30 pounds Of candy in our establish
ment alone. Now if you will station
yourself over there behind that pile OF
goods and watch the candy stand a
few minutes you will see how they do
it,"
There was a constant stream of hu-
mainly brushing past the tall brunette
girl who presided with the grace of a
goddess over the candy STALL The first
clipper" as the confection pilferers are
termed, was a wiry little woman. Her
right hand shot out quickly and seized
several caramels, while she kept NOV
ing. OF the 60 persons who passed the
stand in the first two minutes 20 Of
them, by actual count, seized one or
more pieces of candy each.
One old lady, wearing gold-rimmed
eyeglasses and a rather serious OK
preston, paused in front Of the stand,
picked up large caramel, turned it
over and over and then bit off about
one-third of 1t. The flavor or some
thing did not please her and she threw
it back into the CONNECTION pile. But
the tall brunette girl was argus-eyed
She had seen the last act committed,
and deftly Selling the bitten caramel,
she threw 1t from the tray, with the
remark:
That's not manneriy, ma'am."
A small out snreWd-Iooklng boy
called for FIVE cents worth Of peanut
brittle, and while the clerk was plac-
ing the purchase in paper sack the
light-fngered lad filled both Of his side
coat pockets with more costly cream
caramels and went away without his
theft being even suspected.
A matronly looking lady, carrying
her handbag wide open, dumped two
handfuls of peanut brittle into her re-
ceptacle. And so 1t went.
1T wouldn't surprise me bit" said
the stately brunette, ito have some
person ask me for paper sack, then
fill 1t with candy, and, without paying
for it, walk away, perhaps remarking
as she went: 4 will take a few Of
these to Tootsie.'

was a magnificent piece Of mechanism
and lay there, breathing in short, quick

But, don't you love to watch her

thrill of her speed as she whirls you
along?"
well, can't say that do exactly"
he said, as he rubbed his head for
thought.
Don't you caress her and humor her
and pride yourself upon her, as you

All the poetry and tradition of the

out at every pore, but l kept on to the
bitter end.
Don't you sing to her and whistle
softly as you speed through the night?"
I asked.

he said.
Don't you chiyrup to her in her

Never to my knowledge. Mebbe

asked.
