seem, tnat it was possible for a man
in an inferior conduct grade to get
more liberty than, one of the best be-
haved men. This was of course en-
tirely unnatural and came about from
a combination of two separate systems.
The reason was that naval regulations
compelled the giving of at least q GER
tain amount of shore leave to men in
the second grade, while the system he
was using actually allowed less to a
man in the first grade. The result was
that in short time the bulk of the
men were in the second conduct grade
where they could get the most liberty.
AT later date. on another ship, the
executive officer was an extremely
able man, who had studied this Ques-
ton more carefully and was a great
believer in making 1t worth while for
the men to behave themselves and
keep in q high conduct grade. He SC
arranged matters that if any man be
haved himself sufficiently well and
did all his work with high efficiency
he could have an unusual amount OF
liberty. The result was that this ship
had more than half it's crew in what
Is known as the special first class,
far and away the largest percentage
that ever came under my observation

WHERE RICH MEN ARE FEW.

They Are as Scarce as Black Swans
In Bulgaria.
Bulgaria is the nearest approach TO
a peasant commonwealth which the
world has known in modern times.
There is not Il Bulgarian Slav who Is
not the owner of plot of land upon
which he lives and out of which he
gets his own livelihood by his own
labor.
Large landowners are almost IN
known. The few men of wealth in
the country are mostly of foreign birth
or descent. and even they would not
be counted as wealthy according to
the standard of other European coun-
tries
The small landowners, who form the
vast majority Of the population, are
peasant horn and peasant bred They
are extremely thrifty. They are con-
tent with very plain food. They wear
the same sheepskin garments from
year to year. only turning their coats

MATS stretched out on the floor. They
live under conditions of dirt and dis
comfort which no British or German
| or French laborer would tolerate for
week. Yet. Notwithstanding their
disregard of the simplest sanitary ar
engagements, they grow up singularly
| strong and healthy.
Moreover, they are free from the ir-
ritation caused among other laborers,
overworlzed if not underpaid, by the
spectacle of neighbors living in afflu-
ence and ease without any necessity
to curtail their expenditure. Rich men
are black swans in Bulgaria. I was
told by a foreign banker in Sofia who
had traded for many years in the
country that he doubted greatly
whether there were fifty men in all
the rural districts who had net in.

BANK VAULTS.
Precautions For the Purpose of Foil.
ina the Cracksn1en.


Many banks, especially those In
cities, have their vaults protected by
an elaborate system of concealed
wires connected to a central office not
SO far away, so that the least tam
pering with the combination lock or
any attack upon the door or walls
viii give the alarm at the central Of
fee where men are waiting day and
night to run to the rescue. The exact
method and devices that are used are
kept rather secret, for fear the bur-
glars themselves might learn too much
about them, but it may be explained
that one part of the apparatus is an
the central office. This delicate in
strument closes q local circuit which
sounds the alarm the moment there
is the slightest disturbance of the hid
den wires at and near the vault. so
that gang of burglars could hardly
get TO work with their drills and their
nitroglycerin before the officers of the
law would be upon them.
In addition to protecting vaults and
safes from the direct attacks of rob-
bers. electricity affords another safe
guard by furnishing light which floods
the premises with its searching beams.
Indeed. many banks, stores and ware
houses rely mainly upon the electric
light, without which the thickest walls
and the strongest and most compli-
Gated locks would be useless. They
turn it on at night and leave their
window shutters wide open. so that
the interior may be in full view of
the policeman or Waterman passing
the windows all night. This makes it
practically impossible for lawbreakers
to work unseen.
To protect the money windows of
banks the teller behind the window
has concealed push button at hand,
oftentimes placed under the counter
where he can touch it unobserved. If
any one tries to steal any money, the
teller can call an officer instantly in
this way The circuit is sometimes ar
ranged to close the bank doors also by
an electrically operated mechanism be.

The Old Way

. For years we did advertising in the Old
Way, SO we know how to make these
comparisons.
We used to depend, as other agents
do now, on one mans ability. He did the
best that he knew.
But there are many pitfalls in adver-
Using, and one man knew but few There
is need for vast knowledge of human ma
ture, and one man knows but little. Sue
cess requires immense exertion, and one
man has but one-man power.
Much of the advertising, in the Old
Way, failed to return its cost.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-02-03

These men, in conference, devise plans
and means and copy. They solve all sell
ing problems-io all that must be done.
Each contributes ideas; each guards
against mistakes. When these men
agree, the campaign that results is usu-
ally irresistible.
Under the New Way, we multiply the
power of each dollar. We get out OF adj
vertising all the dormant possibilities. In
this way we have doubled our business
again and again during the past few
wears.

The Many-Man Power

Our two Advisory Boards, in New
York and Chicago, consist of twenty
eight high-priced men. 1t costs us about
81 minute to keep one of the boards in
session.
There is no corps of men in all Ameri-
ca so competent to deal with the prob
lens of advertising.
We invite you to meet them. Submit
yorir problems to them; ask their advice.
Judge for yourself what such men may
mean to you.

1t was in the City of Brotherly Love
that the first bank was established in
1871. 1t was Incorporated by congress
under the name of 1.-The President, Di-
rectors and Company of the Bank OF
North America" Three years later the
second bank in the country was opened
in Boston and called the Massachu-
sets bank.
In the same year the Bank Of New
York was founded.
The first United States bank was
founded in 1875 and the second in
1915. in which year the first savings
banks were established, one in PhiIa

was born February 9, 1909,
at Hamburg North Germany; died at
Leipzig, Saxony, November 4, 1S47.
He was son of a banker, grandson
of a celebrated Jewish scholar and re-
p former. In mature life the father
was Influenced to renounce the Jewish
faith and add Bartholdy to the family
name to distinguish his branch from
the orthodox members of the family.
Father and mother, the latter also of
the Jewish race, adopted the Chris
tian religion, the children were bap-
TIED and brought UP as Christians.
The life of the Mendelssohn family
was very interesting and beautiful
the children unusually gifted, in the
home an art atmosphere making for
full development of the individual
gifts. Felix received his first piano
instruction from his mother, from his
earliest days both parents were de-
voted to the fostering of his genius.
The story of Mendelssohn's life is not
the record of bitter poverty and Hercu-
lean efforts in overcoming obstacles;
