To Make Arms PIumn.

Thete are many good roads which
lead to making thin arms plump, and
probably one of the most commonly
trod of these is the daily massaging
of the arms with olive oil. Massage
the arms gently and work the sweet
olive oil thoroughly into them. The
arms must be exercised also. Seat
yourself at a table and lay the fore
arms on it with the palms of the
hands touching the table. Without lift
ing the palms from the table, briskly
raise and spread all the fingers.

HOW TO BONE A COLLAR.
Framework of WhaIebone Will Give
Best Results.

Bones play an important part In
ly in waists, girdles and collars. AS
the collars must be high now, it is
necessary to bone them to make them
stand up The collars of the lingerie
waists and of all dressy waists are
higher just behind the ear, where they
slope upward slightly. Featherbone
is largely used, and it is easy to han
die, as it requires no covering except
at the ends. Stitches may be taken
through it at any point, and last but
not least, it is inexpensive.
The best and cleverest way to bone
a collar is to cut the whalebone Into
the proper lengths for collar supports.
Five pieces of bone are necessary for
the average collar, two for under the
chin, which should be about two or
2a inches apart at the base of the
collar and slant until they are an inch
farther apart at the top of the collar.
These two bones are about half an
inch shorter than the two which
should be put underneath and a little
behind the ear.
The collar must be tied on to deter
mine the proper position for these.
The fifth bone Is the same height as
the two front bones, and is to be put
in the middle of the back of the collar.
These bones are not to be sewed di-
rectly to the collar, but are to be
sewed to a little framework collar
made Of tapes. A piece of tape which
just fits comfortably but snugly around
the base of the neck forms the bot.
tom Of the framework, and for the top
a piece of tape which is a trihe lar
ger than is necessary for comfort
is chosen. These pieces of tape are
joined together by six pieces of tape.
Two in the front in exactly the same
position which the featherbone is to
occupy, and two under the ears and
two at each end. These six pieces
should be made of two pieces CT tape
to form pockets, and into these peck,
cts the featherbone is slipped.
One side of the back requires nc
featherbone, though this may be used
if desired, for it will remain upright
when fastened to the other side of the
back, which contains f~eatherbone
Hooks are sewed to one side of the
back and eyes to the other, and the
little framework is ready to put in the
collar of a dress at a moments notice
Bones treated in this way will never
stick into the neck or scratch it, ant
will never bend and twist out of shape

be covered with gold paint, or bo
painted some color to harmonic with

by a few drops of mucilage on the end
that penetrates the cushion.

STATE BANKERS WILL HELP.
Association to Take Hand in Organiza.
ton Of New Insurance Company.

It is announced that the State Bank
ers' association will have a hand in the
organization of the proposed new cor
poration to insure bank deposits. The
1t is said, will take up the work. and
Senator B. P. Waggener will draft the
charter for them.
The organization will be along the
lines of Waggener's proposed insur-
ance bill, except that 1t can not be
made as strong as it would have been
had his bill become a law. The insur-
ance. companyeW will be capitalized for
1000, 900, and the stock Will be owned
by both the state and national banks.
The Atchison CODE says, in speaking
of the company: cit will be under the
supervision of the state charter board,
and will not in any way conflict with
the work of the state and national
member of the insurance company,
will have to submit to an examination.
II the bank is found to be managed
properly, it can become member OF
the insurance company. The insur-
ance company will employ examiners
who must investigate the banks tn
same as a state bank examiner. Should
the examiner find O. bank in a weak
ened condition, man would be put in
charge, who could draw on the funds
of the Insurance company to prevent
the bank going to the wall, rather than
paying off it's obligations after fail
ure. After the resources of a bank
which include the good paper. cash.
and the stockholders liabilities, are
used to pay off depositors. the insur-
ance company would make up the bal
ance. Few bank failures, especially in
Kansas, cause a very big loss to de-
positors, after all the resources Of the
banks are devoted to paying its debts.
The history Of all national banks for
several years past is that the average
yearly losses are less than 8 per cent
With a million capital stock and a big
surplus, the insurance company would

STATEMENT BY ROYCE.
Bank Commissioner Says That Banks
Are In Good Condition.

Bank Commissioner John 0. Royce
has given out statement defending
the action of Governor Hoch In calling
a special session of the legislature and
telling depositors not to be worried
about the security of their deposits.
even though a deposit guaranty law
failed to pass. He says:
sI wish to take this opportunity to
never in better condition than they are
at this time. They have just gone
through three months panic with
loss of only two banks and those failed
not because of the panic, but as a re-
suit of dishonest officials-the same old
story. The splendid manner in which
all Of the banks have gone through
this panic and the excellent condition
in which they are at the present time,
is one of the strongest guarantees that
could be furnished those who have
money deposited in Kansas banks and
the people who favor a guarantee de-
post law are not doing it because OF
the weakness of the banks, but only for
the purpose of restoring that conf
dence which is necessary for the sue
cessful transaction of business. The
recent financial troubles have demon
strated that 1t is not the depositor alonc
who needed confidence restored. The
banker has been shown to need it
quite as much, if not more, than the
depositor.
of money, and show a larger reserve
than they have ever shown before. and
very much larger than is necessary or
profitable for them to keep Not only
IL 1t Improbable for the banks to keep
the large cash reserve which they now
have, but it is against their wfshe s.
Sand If the banker had the confidence
in his depositor which the depositor
has in the banker, he could safely and
probably loan q great amount of the
present boarded money to the business
man. who is so greatly in need of 1t.
"A guaranty law which would have
the effect to assure the depositor that
his money was as safe in the bank
when its doors were closed as when
they were open would satisfy the
banker that the depositor would not
withdraw his money, and with this
assurance he would be able to continue
the 1oaning of money, and business
would move on uninterruptedly, and a
run on a bank in this state would
be an impossibi1ity. The fear which
the depositor has is not so much that
he may lose his money as that he may
have 1t tied up at such times as he
may need it for use, but with such a
law as the friends of the guaranty de-
posit proposition asked for, there
would be no uncertainty even along
this line, and with such a law, banks
IN New York might close. and panic
might sweep over the country, but it
would not affect banks in the state
that came under the provisions of such
law. It Is not necessary for the de-
positor of Kansas to withdraw any
portion of their deposit IN order to
secure the passage of this law at the
next session of the legislature. A large
majority of the state banks of Kansas
want 1t. and IL am not mistaken in
the sign of the times, will send q leg
islature to Topeka next winter pledged
70 the passage of such law"
