POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.
Much Remains to Be Done Before They
Are Started.

Washington, D. c., Nov. ll.-While
the locations of the first postal savings
banks, one in each state and territory,
have been chosen, and it is probable that
the banks will be opened at the begin
ming of 1911, much work remains to be
done in the development Of the system,
according to one Of the trustees.
problem that is taxing the trustees
and the solution of which is awaited
with great interest by bankers, concerns
the deposit OF postal funds in banks
The law provides that Is per cent. OF
the funds shall be deposited in solvent
banks whether organized under national
or state laws, being subject to national
or state supervision and examinations p
The word banks" includes savings banks
and trust companies
The solvency OF national banks will
probably be determined by the comptrol-
Ter of the currency, who has charge of
the national bank examiners. The best
method for ascertaining the condition
Of other banks has not been determined
One plan suggested provides for the Co
operation OF the comptroller or some 9th
er governmental agency with the state
banking departments.
There are many bankers who are anx-
ious that the method Tor determining
the question of solyency shall be thor
ough and guarded to protect impartially
the interests OF all banks. Unless that
is done, they fear that some future
board OF trustees may possibly make
the power TO decide as TO s0lvency
basis for favoritism in the distribution
OF postal bank funds.

physics teacher, they are exerting all
the time pressure equal to the resist

sudden quick jerk, plus the pressure, that
starts the load.

as I lay in bed, dreading to get up. All

mental pressure ell but sufficient to
overcome the resistance of my laziness.
All / lacked was the quick jerk
Now it seems TO me that's always the
way when we put off some duty. We
really mentally do it all the time we
are putting IL of, and thus waste lot
of energy before we give the quick jerk
and finally accomplish the task,
Isn't that one Of the reasons why PEG
Pile who work systematically accomplish
so much with so little effort that is,
because each duty has it's routine place
and therefore none of them are done
mentally before they are done actually,
with the consequent waste OF mental

its its readers only slightly. for almost
every one loves music. and Mrs Lath-
ror's clever story. I think, will interest
even those who do not.
For some reason. began Mrs. Lathrop,
the compositions Of Richard Strauss
have been the exciting feature of or
chestral concerts.
He has stirred up the musical world
as it has not been stirred since Richard
Wagner proclaimed his regenerative the
ories of the musical drama.
Strauss has turned the technics of or
chestral music topsy turvy and has made
orchestras sing new songs.
He he's IN certain ways Ndiscredited
Beethoven and the prophets and has
shrunk the orchestral wonders of Ber-
lioz and Wagner to the dimensions OF a
Sunday afternoon band concert.
He has caused the critical heather to
rage and the long-hatred people TO i'm
agne vain things.
In fine, the simple question now frank
iv discussed in the inner circles of the
sacred brotherhood Is just this Is Rich
ard Strauss a heaven-born genius, or Is
he merely crazy?
To. those who accept music as they ac-
cept soup, as one of the conventional de-
tails of a polite existence, all this both
or abo,t Strauss music seems unneces
