TEXAS BANK WINS
IN SUPREME COURT

Washington, November 29.-The SUI
preme court of the United States today
decided the case of the Hanover National
bank of New York VS.. william F. Sud-
deth, receiver of the American National
bank of Abilene, Tex, in favor of the
Texas bank.
The case involved the question of the
responsibility of one bank to another for
notes deposited for discount but which
were not discounted. The notes covered
by the transaction amounted to $4,000 and
were deposited by the Abilene bank in the
Hanover bank. The latter institution
failed to discount them, but when the Abb
ilene bank became insolvent, held them
as security for advances made to the
Texas bank. When the receiver of the
Abilene bank made a demand for them
the New York bank refused to give them
up. The suit was brought to compel their
surrender.
The United States court of appeals for
the second circuit affirmed a judgment,
giving the Texas bank $8725 and the New
York bank appealed the case to the SUI
preme court, where the Judgment was af-
firmed, the opinion being by Justice
White.

Insurance for Spjnsters.
n the Lady's Pictorial

From the LadyS Pfctorial
In Copenhagen a well known artist.
Nine. wiehe-Bereny. has had the idea
of founding an insurance company which
should draw its clients only from women.
These ladies are to pay decent premium
against the possibility of finding no
husband.
Should any of the insured ladies marry
before they are 40 years of age they lose
all the money they paid in. This of
course would benefit the other policy
holders of the insurance company. After
reaching 40 years of age every woman
who Is insured shall receive an income
for life, the extent of which will be deter
mined by premiums which are available.
