The financial difficulties which
few years ago reduced Mrs. Carewe
and her daughter Grace to the slen-
derest of incomes have but served to
bring out their gifts and graces-so
say all of their friends.
Mrs. Carewe has developed per-
feet genius for making over" dresses,
and Grace-well, perhaps her real
fiber shows itself in the sweetness
with which she wears the made-over
things For it might be rather diff
cult for pretty young girl to wear
the same dresses, year after year, in
a circle of girl friends not obliged to
economize-and to do it gracefully.
Last summer tho Carewes were
with some friends in one of those
summer camps where you "go back to
nature" says the Youths Compan-
ion. Nobody thinks about dress there,
and the functions" are all impromptu
and make small demands on the ward
robe.
A group OF the campers was chat
ting in Mrs. Carewe's tent one morn
ing, when new arrival joined them.
She had come only two days before,
and was already enthusiastic over
the camp.
"And it's such a good place." she
said, finally, completing the list of
virtues, ito wear out ones last years
things"

teresting function performed by an
auto in the navy is in the role of q
pay car at this self-same naval gun
factory. Once a week this pay car
makes a two-hour trip OF the various
shops of the plant paying out to the
1900 employees an aggregate of be-
tween $4,000 and 100000 each week.
The medical department of the
United States navy has introduced mo-
tor ambulances Both electric and
steam cars have been tested for such
service and such has been the success
of the innovation that ere long we
may expect to find auto ambulances
at every naval hospital Of any size.
The approved style of motor ambu-
lance is an Is horse power machine
capable of carrying IL persons at
speed of Is miles per hour. Space Is
provided for four filters, two being
placed side by side on the floor of the
ambulance and two above it. It Is
the work of but moment to convert
the ambulance from sort Of omnibus
car with seats along the sides to a
miniature moving hospital ward with
four beds as above mentioned.

sure The case was now more OF
poser than ever. What on earth was
the Kentucky colonel up to? Was he
trying to do the government out OF the
$4,000 in gold, feat that would ap-
pear impossible to man Of sense?
Or was he trying to play a joke Oh

The affair had now narrowed down
to a pretty close margin. but the de-

"Were you ever in runaway auto

This question was asked the other
day by patched-up individual who
limped into downtown cigar store,
where a number of his friends were

In bandages; one eye was encircled

loose clothing testified to the loss OF

AS may readily be surmised, the
chief sphere of usefulness for motor
cars in the navy service lies in the
assistance they can render at shore
stations, such as navy yards, and at
the naval workshops which have to
do with supplying the ships with
guns and ammunition and other IN
dispensible classes of supplies. The
best evidence of what these new help
ers can accomplish In this way Is
to be had at the United States naval
gun factory, the big industrial plant
which manufactures all the. heavy
guns for our armorclads. Here four
electric trucks of varying capacities
are in constant service, each perform
Ing the work of not less than half q
dozen horse-drawu carts. Indeed,
these four trucks perform the entire
work of transferring from shop to
shop all the material of every descrip
ton entering into the manufacture OF
the big guns.
One of these trucks has capacity
of 1000 pounds; a second is capable
of carrying $500 pounds; the third
can transport two tons, and the fourth
designed for the heaviest class OF
work, is capable Of toting around a
tidy five tons. These horseless trucks

CHICAGO BANKS METHOD
OF SELF-EXAMINATION
System of Clearing House Espionage That Might Be Prof
itably Adopted in Large Cites-Financing the Canal
Postal Savings Bank Plans
By I. A. FLEMING.

Efforts toward putting the banking
business on a better basis have been
under way in various cities, in the Of
fee Of the Comptroller Of the Currency.
and il. the various States, where hanks
are operating under state laws
There IS nothing quite so nervous as
money, and the owners Of It who have
intrusted It's care to banks and bankers
There IS n5thing quite so essential to
the commercial welfare Of a community
as the SAFE keeping of its capital there
fore anything that tends to increase
the sense Of responsibility on the part
Of banking officials. directors, etc, and
those charged with the enforcement Of
the statutes in the matter, ought TO be
encouraged Nor Is there anything
more damaging TO business than bank
failure.
The Chicago Clearing House Associa-
ton has undertaken the keeping clean
and in good condition the banks that
are members Of the organization. Each
bank is required 10 send 70 the com
nittee Of the association a copy OF all re
ports sent to the Comptroller uf the Cur
rency. These reports are taken up and
considered by the committee from the
standpoint of the last report made to
II by the clearing house examiner. The
committee may decline to approve such
statements as satisfactory until all mat
tiers criticised IN the examiners re-
port have been remedied or provided
for. -.-.-..-s
The rule that guides the committee is
simple one, and is applied without
fear or favor. Statements must div1age

at a true and fair valuation Will onset
