h the opinion of prominent sena- sors, the greatest opposition to bill providing for a government guarantee of deposits in national banks would como from state banks and trust con- panies, who fear that the additional security given the national organiza- tions would have 8 tendency to draw deposits. There is no question but thst this would force them to reorgan- ize under tho national banking act. It would be . mighty good thing if some of the trust companies were compelled to go out of business, after tho fashion of the Knickerbocker.

THE STORY.

uIRAM, king of Tyre, received the
III news of the death of the good
King David with deep sorrow. He
had been proud to count himself one
Of David's friends. Ever since the in.
cidents years before which had
brought them together in friendly in
tercourse these two kings had main
tanned the most cordial relations.
The merchants of the busy CONNER
cial Tyre found good markets in the
kingdom of Israel for their merchan-
disc, which came to that port from
all parts of the world, for the Tyreans
were great traders And in exchange
they took the fruits and the grains,
the sheep and the cattle, which the
land of Israel produced so bountifu1ly.
And SO as result there had come to
exist between the kingdom of Tyre
and the kingdom of Israel the most
friendly intercourse. And Hiram de-
lighted in this friendship which the
good King David showed towards him.
Hiram was great lover of the truest
and best in manhood, and long before
he had come to the kingdom and
while yet David was fleeing hither and
thither to escape the murderous wrath
OF Saul, he had felt great admira-
ton for the bold young adventurer
who was ever ready to strike a blow
in defense of the weak and the op-
pressed. Stories reached him from
time to time Of the bravery and skill
Of the indomitab1e warrior and his
hardy band, and when few years
after he (Hiram) came to the throne
of Tyre, and events transpired in Is
rael which gave David the kingdom,
he sent a deputation with gifts and
cordial messages ofsgreeting. This
had been the beginning of close In
timacy between the two, and when a
few years later it came to his ears
that David desired to build himself
house, he had sent the great cedar
timbers from Lebanon, and the house
had been built And then when he
heard that King David desired to build
house to his God, he had fastened
to again offer him the timbers from
Lebanon. But for some reason, which
he never clearly understood, Dayid's
plans had been suddenly checked and
to his offers David had merely sug-
gested that perhaps some day he
might renew the offer to his SON.
And now that The news had come

Willowy Back Now
in Fashions Favor

Paper doll days are over with
Dame Fashion. We must have backs,
and they must be things of beauty
that is, for the girl who wants to look
stylish. A year or two ago it was a
matter of choice whether or not one
cultivated the Ethel Barrymore back,
but there is no choice about the new
back We must get willowy. Women
will all have to become contortionists
if they keep getting new backs or
fronts every year. Some say the cor
sets the thing, but girls who have
tried of laced into some of these
new no hips" affairs say it's all de-
fusion and snare. The only way to
get the new back is to grow thin.
This new back goes in sharply at
the waist line and the owner Of 1t
stands SO straight that she seems to
be bending over backward. Girls who
have really acquired it say they did
it by walking. One girl never takes a
street car for any place that she can
reach by walking. Incidentally, it
saves carfare. She started by being
tired to death after a one-mile jaunt,
but now she walks ten quite easily.
Strange to say, although she was
rather a fat girl when she started In,
instead of Tightening her corsets for
the mo hips" effect, she loosened
them. That's so my muscles can get
chance to work" said she.
The thin girls who have the back al
ready are giving up corsets entirely.
I'VE may as well be comfortable while
1t lasts" say they. The main point is
to hold the chest high, the abdomen in
and the shoulders fat as you walk. A
good exercise to get the new back is
taken on the floor. Lie perfectly fat
on the back, with the arms extended
directly out at the sides. Then with
out changing the relative position of
the arms try sitting up straight. AT
ter you've succeeded in doing it once,
which won't be the first time you try,
get so that you can sit up several
times in succession. This hardens the
muscles of the abdomen and back and
gives the sharp curve at the waist
line, which every up-to-date girl is
working for.

MAR
"a

A collar lining of taffeta should be
cut SO that the front part is on the
straight Of the material, and the
curved part of the collar will then
come on the bias.
It is good plan to bend steels or
Whalebones at the waist line when
making bodice before quitting them
into the castings, as the bodices will
then fit closer to the figure.
In sewing piece of material on the
bias to a straight piece the former is
apt to become stretched. To avoid
this the bias should be placed I'm.
derneath, and it will then be sewn in
evenly.
Always make the neck of a blouse
slightly smaller than the base of the
collar band, and in tacsing it into
position it is an excellent plan to cut
few notches in the blouse SO as to
avoid wrinkles when the collar is
finally stitched on.
When altering blouse it is a mis-.
take to move the shoulder seam to the
front. A better plan is to let it drop
backward instead of forward.

Teaches Girls How
to Look Their Best


A certain eastern physical culture
teacher Is busy teaching girls how to
walk, stand and manage their clothes.
I teach them how to look their
best" said she. "It is hard job, for

state, bad complexion and bad walk.

stand, how to sit and how to stoop
over. These things all come under the

her heels. OF course, 1t is not con-

this is exactly what girl Is compelled
to do. She must learn to kick it 30
that the kick is invisible, however.
For the woman who is going to
adopt the new long skirt-a little
longer than convenient walking length
there are some suggestions. If your
skirt is very fashionable-two inches
too long in front-practice walking
with a glide. Touch the ball of your
foot first, then gradually sink upon
your heels. This gives you the gliding
carriage. One hand must slightly lift
your gown in front. teach my pupils
how to handle their elbows. They
must use them prettily and deliberate

For Rainv DAYS.

The woman who must go out on
rainy days, even though she may not de-
sire waterproofs and raincoats, should
not neglect some precautions against
storm.
If she will not wear rubber rain
coats or even those of rubberized
silks, she should at least have a spe-
cial rainy-day costume of some water
proof material.
Those are now made without bit
of rubber in them.
There is preparation, for instance.
that is applied to covert cloths, silks
and wooden fabrics, which makes them
SO impervious to water that it may be
poured on the surface and will run
back and forth like mercury, yet not

singers and regular theater-going au-

Chicago. October 4.-Chicago defeated Detroit to 1 in the opening game of the final series here today, making 1t just possible for the local team to win the American league pennant. To do this, however Chicago must win the two re- maining games with Detroit, while Cleve- land loses one game with St. Louis. By reason of the Cleveland-St. Louis tie to- day, these teams still have three games to play. By winning all of them, Cleve- land would get the pennant regardless of the outcome of the Chicago-Detroit series. By winning one of the remaining two games from Chicago Detroit will win, in the event that Cleveland drops one to St. Louis The outcome of today's game, therefore makes the finish of the Amer ican league race narrow and more excit- ing than ever.
 President Comislxy said that the attend ance at todays game was the largest in the history of the Southside grounds. To- days victory for Chicago was remark able in that Chicago scored all of her three runs in the first inning without even the semblance of a hit. In fact, Chicago made but one hit during the game Ground rules were established. making a hit into the crowd good for two bases, but the scant hitting did not re- quire it's application
 The game was pitchers battle be- tween White and Killian, who let the vis- itors down with one hit, but lost the game as result of bases on balls and errors behind him. Score R.HE. Detroit :. =. .... .000 O00 O01-1 , 2 Chicago :. ~ . 300 900 00@-3
