TO INDICr THE BANKERS.
Agreement on Exchange Rate May
Be Violation of Law.

New Orleans. Dec. 9.-Is the
agreement which is in effect among
the bankers in the principal cities of
the country, to charge a uniform
rate of exchange on all out-of-town
checks, a violation of the Sherman
antitrust law?
That is the position of the De-
partment of Justice and that indict-
ments are to be brought against New
Orleans bankers within the next few
days was intimated here to-day on
apparently reliable authority. The
federal grand jury now in session
has been Investigating the subject
for several days and it is said that
indictments have been prepared by
the District Attorney. Vice-President
Joseph Collins, of the Peoples Bank
and Trust Company in discussing the
matter to-day said:
1--WE found before the agreement
on exchange rates was made July 7,
1906, that we were losing money on
this class of business. New banks
were being started and competition
became stronger.
Every bank applying for admit
lance to the clearing house associa-
ton must agree to the exchange
schedule. The regulations must also
be met before bank can become a
member. This phase of the matter
may be in violation of the Sherman
antitrust law

KEY TO SUCCESS.
What We Put Into Life and What We
Get Out Of Life-The Opportunity
is Before Each of Us.

is Before Each of Us.
From an Exchanged
Life is an investment. You get out
of it what you put into it in increased
measure.
The music is not in the piano-it is
in the soul of the player. The picture
is not in the colors of the palette-it
is in the artists mind.
Moreover, you get out of life what
you pay for.
The investment does not have to be
in dollars. 1t is made daily in effort,
in sacrifice, in love.
It is put in the bank of Humanity,
deposited to the credit of your neigh
bor-for the world begins in yourself
and ends in him.
The thing that pays best In life is
to be natural. And this means: Let
your real self show through all ex-
terror coverings. Let your own per-
sonality color your environment.
Let every noble thought in you
have expression-put each high re-
solve to the test Of actual experience.
Let the life in you-vivacity, ap-
probation, enthusiasm, affection and
spiritual impulses-bubble over in
natural and frank manner.
For thus only can you be yourself.
If you are anything else you have
nothing to invest in life, you have no
principal-you are specializing on
borrowed money.
Be natural.

Moving Picture Progress

No doubt motion pictures will always be exhibited to great extent for enter tainment purposes, but recent develop menst along more serious lines are inter- esting, says a writer in Success Maga- zine.
 One film recently exhibited under the auspices of the American Civic asocia- ton was entitled "The Filthy Fly" and showed graphically the unsanitary habits of that insect. A wonderful new ma chine, by the way, taking 2oOO pictures second, has greatly facilitated the photographing of insects on the wing It Is hoped that there will be new light on the problem of flight as a result of the new device.
 Moving pictures as a means of propa- ganda are suggested in the fact that films are being prepared showing the dangers of unhygienic dairy farms and teaching the value of clean milk. Pathe Freres, the we'll known French film man. ufacturers, are now producing g. sort of picture newspaper, setting forth current t events in pictorial form Thus far, 1t Is said these moving picture papers carry no advertising.
 Of very great importance Is the suc- cessful series of experiments in Munich, In which X-ray motion pictures of the internal organs of the human body were obtained. By the new device, digestion, for example, can be studied actually in process The discovery promises to add greatly to the sum of our knowledge of physiology and disease.

fortable hours on that account. The only time when a skipper regards him or his apparatus cordially is when the shippers wife begins to send him mes sages as he approaches shore. Then thinks the wireless Is a good thing after all.
 When ship Is disabled and distress signals have to be sent for help the cap- tain again looks favorably on the wire less and the man who runs It. Here it is, also, If the wireless operator is of the right sort, he has chance to show of what heroic stuff he is made. If the ship goes down it Is the code of the sea that the wireless man shall stand by his in- struments until the last. Etiquette de- mands the captain shall not leave the ship until just before she takes her final plunge The same etiquette makes the wireless operator the one who shall im- mediately preeede him when the time comes for departure.
 In the Marconi service the operators seem to have less real cause for com plaint, although there are some grum- blers, as there always will he. The Mar conf operators start at from $40 to $45 a month and found" if stationed on a ship. On land they begin at s60 month. The limit is about $50.

SEEING A BLIZZARD AT SEA
Seemingly Nothing Remained But to Meet the End Without Complaint

William Inglis, in Harpers Weekly.
 The roaring and shrieking of the tenn pest, the thunder of the waves, that 1arred the whole fabric with a shock like earthquake, made fitting accompani- ment for the gloomy thoughts that pos sessed me. Home, friends, life itself all seefned lost. Only one thing re- mained; to meet the end quietly without any cowardly complaint. fell Into sort of mental stupor, while all my physical energies were concentrated in hanging on to my position on the windward side of the cabin, my feet braced against the of the berth. Now and then came lull in the fury of the gale, and I could hear @ faint, wailing cry like the call of lit- tls turkey, chicks strayed from their mother-peep peepl pee-ee-eepl Here was food for speculation. What in the world could it be that made a noise like little turkeys? To solve that riddle immediately became the most expressing thing. After much search I discovered the source of the sound; the wind was blowing against the companionway, re- bounding from that and whistling through the keyhole of, the cabin door.
 A door in the bulkhead swung open and in came Manuel, smiling affably and re- assuringly.
 ''Ah-h-hi" he exclaimed, "ver' bad storm. Lees morning I begin maka da soup you like so moch, Meest Inglees. All A-h-h!

4ShoemakinS Secrets

The most important part of shoe-wear consdered-is the sole. The best od-method tanned sole leather is none too good for this purpose yet many manufacturers use quick damages of cheap feathers and "hll'' the soles with glucose and other deliberations to cover defects. The insole Tn some shoes is cut from such thin stock that it cannot be channelled to receive the stitch when the upper and the welt are sewed on. A piece of canvas is often substituted for the leather, channelled up to hold the shoe together.

There are no secrets about the Craddock Shoe. The soles, insole (5) and outer sole (4), come from the very finest, toughest and the most expensive sole leather money can buy. The insole is as heavy as lots of makers use for outer soles.
