cubans seoreted Cash in All Manner
Of Odd Ways

Although there are now excellent
savings banks ia Cuba, FOR generations
the people have been accustomed TO
secrete their own cash. "A traveller
tells Of one hiding place in a birds
house in a tree. The Cubans resi-
dence had been looted number OF
times during various revolutions, but
the raiders had never suspected the
bird house in the tree. After the death
Of the head Of the family the yaluables
were removed by the children and
placed in the Havana bank. In another
case the wall Of a building was chosen.
A man with considerable patience hol.
lowed out one Of the stones in this
wall. Five days We're consumed in
chipping out the hollow. Within this
hollow the little casket containing
Jewels and money was placed. Then
stone slab had 10 be cut to replace
the front without showing any break
This required two days more The
piece Of stone was slipped into place
and sealed with cement In order to
remove the stone front, tools were re-
quired each time. But this hiding
place served for years and exists
now
One man thought he had found a
most effective hiding place when he
put shelf up under the caves Of his
house for holding the cash box. This
place was chosen partly because Of
the existence Of a small hornets nest
there. Robbers as a rule will not take
much interest in searching a place in
the vicinity Of a nest Of wasps or hor-
nets. But the home OF the insects
grew and after few months the nest
expanded to the box and the owner
could not get the box without danger
OF being stung. He was obliged to
hire two bee experts to come with nets
and ladders and remove the box. A
wasp stung through one mans NIT
just as he grasped the box. and the re-
ceptacle fell to the pavement below
and some small pearls were scattered
about the place. Several hours were
consumed in finding the lost yaluables
The owner vowed that he would place
his valuables in a depository in Hava
ma thereafter.
Another odd place for hiding bag
OF cash was in followed table leg
Cuba is noted for its ponderous arti
cles OF furniture. There are table legs
with ample surface for following a Sc
cret chamber Usually tightnttinf
door is made ana when this is CLOSED
the bag is well concealed. The hal
light stands are not overlooked il
some Of the homes of the SpanisFd.
and the Cubans The natives Of tbs
country love to have plenty Of hal
light These hall lights are offer
fixed to elaborate stands. One sucl
stand proved to be a very effective
hiding place for years. until one nigh
the house burned down and the none,
went with it.

Most people have the impression
that fun and humor are life inciden-
tails, not necessities; that they are lux
uries and have no great bearing upon
ones career.
Many think fun is frivolous, indi-
eating a lack Of serious purpose in
life. There are parents who rebuke
their children because they want to
have fun and so in for a good time.
These parents have yet to learn the
great part which fun and humor play
in the physical economy and their in
fuence on the life.

whole physical and mental being
