SAVES TRYING ON OF HATS
Economical Device, But II Is Doubt
full If 1t Will Ever Become
Popular.

Whether the millinery device de-
signed by a New York man will be
as popular as it is ingenious remains
to be seen. According to the prevail
ing opinion of a woman's department
in millinery store, 1t does not seem
likely.
The device consists of large card
with an opening large enough to ad-
NIT a woman's head. Above this
opening is painted hat of some par
ticular design, while below is a design
to represent bust portion of a wom-
ans waist.
The idea is to have millinery
store supplied with a painted repro
duction of every hat in stock. When
customers come in they look the hats
over on their stands and when they
see styles they would like to try on
stand in front of a mirror and put
their heads in the card bearing the
design of those particular pieces of
headgear.
This plan saves great deal of wear
and tear on hats and saves the GUS
toner great deal of time, but wheth-
er it will be appreciated by the fair
sex is matter of grave doubt

Officers Got Cash.

The plaintiffs state thu. here was
something over $4,000 of the capital
stock distributed and :ha. there is
nothing to show the amount. They
also assert that $500 of that amount
went into the pockets of the officers
of the bank, and that they refuse to
give an excuse for its d;sappearance.
They cite that there is now about
$4,000 worth of assets Of the bank
left, which are worth about 90 cents
on the dollar and that they believe if
such assets are left in tie hands of
the officers of the bank longer they
will be worth much less.
One of the charges mhGa by the
plaintiffs is that a party who had ne
account whatever with thu bank was
permitted to draw 5000 from the bank,
which amount was never raid.
In view of the existing conditions
the plaintiffs ask that the defendants
be summoned to appear before the
chancellor on the second Monday i'll
November and that after a hearing
of the case the chancellor award the
plaintiffs judgment against t1o de-
fandants for the difference in The

MERIDIAN, Miss, October 3D.
Charges of a sensational nature are
made in a suit which has been filed
at the instance of several stockhold-
ers of the Old Peoples Savings Bank
Company against the officers and Ii
rectors of the company. The suit
has been filed at the office of tire
chancery clerk, w. r Pistole, by At
torneys Ethridge & Ethridge, repre-
senting the plaintiffs.
In the beginning the bill of com
plants set forh that the plaintiffs
were stockholders in the bank and
that when the institution voted a Sec
ond issue of stock amounting to 49,
900 they purchased some of the stock
at the rate of $12O a share. The charge
is made that at this time the issue
of stock was voted the affairs of the
bank were in bad shape and that in

False Earning Capacity.

When the plaintiffs paid their s120
a share for the stock, they allege that
the officers of the bank placed IS 900
OF the money received from the sale
as profits instead of crediting the
sum to paid up capital stock, making
the books show a false earning ca
pacity, and the plintiffs charge that
this act was done for the purpose of
deceiving the patrons and stockhold-
ers of the institution. The plaintiffs
charge that the sworn statement of
the officials of the bank, made at the
time the stock was placed on sale,
that it was worth 1920 a 800 share,
was false, for they assert that the
stock was at no time worth more than
81 a share.
The plaintiffs further declare that
when the bank was opened they en-
ployed w. A. Martin as cashier. when
they knew or ought to have known
that he was not familiar with the
usages and workings and the inside
details of the banking bust
ness; that he was incompetent

ton on the part of the officials in EN-

grossest kind and showed wanton and

EouIards Remain.

Foulards remain because they are
useful and give satisfaction. While
not exactly what discriminating wom-
en- would select for finest raiment,
they find a place in every well-stocked
wardrobe. Foulards are merely glori-
fed prints, and their soft tints mingled
with laces and ribbons are fetching, to
say the least. AS the advance models
are long-waisted dresses with broad
sashes, there will be more foulards
and satins, for such goods make ur
splendidly in this style. 1t is possible
however. that many dresses will have
the wide liberty satin sashes.

that policy has been in effect on his
northern railroads for years. But when
applied to the traffic of the Burlington,
a majority of whose hauls are short,

In connection with the installation

is told on Mr.. Hill: A section foreman
had been killed in a railroad accident.
His widow desired to have the body
taken to his old bone for burial. She
telegraphed to Hill for permission tc
take the body over his lines without
cost. Mr.. Hill was busy when the
communication was laid on his desk
In an absent-minded way he picked ur

by new process from the old waste.
To hold the oil and assist in lubrica-
ton of the wheels, waste is packed
into the journal boxes. 1t has been
the custom of railroads to continue to
pack the waste so long as the boxes
would hold it. When the waste got
so hard that it lost its usefulness 1t
was dug out and thrown away. Under
the new method which the master car
builders department has discovered
the waste is saved, the grit eliminated
claimed. A rude shack has been erect
ed for the work. The waste from the
journal boxes is taken in large guam
titles to this reclamation building. 1t
Is placed in vat cad there subjected
to hot oil bath. This bath olsen
tangles the grit and scraps of metal
which have been worn from the
brasses in which the car aXles run and
leaves the old waste in fine, well-satu-
rated condition for reuse. Four hun
dred pounds of babbitt metal are re-
claimed every month from the set
things in the hot-oil tank. This is cas-
lily reclaimed by melting the refuse.
As babbitt metal averages about nine
cents a pound to the company, the saw
ing is at least $50 a month on the
metal alone. -
In packing the journals Of the new
/ gondosa cars, the old and oil-saturated
waste is mixed with new waste, which
gives a much more satisfactory test
running for the new wheels than all
new waste. The department is proud
of its discovery and 1T is expected that
the system of treating waste will be
adopted by other roads and that it
will result in large reduction in the
cost of operating freight cars on all
railroad systems.
