COLORED BANK MESSENGER
TRUSTED WITH MILLIONS
RICHARD ALLEN OF KANSAS CITY
HAS CARRIED HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
THROUGH THE STREETS AND
NEVER STOLEN OR LOST A
PENNY-WAS GIVEN A HOUSE.

Kansas City, Mo-Richard Allen,
the oldest employe of the First Ma
tional bank, has carried hundreds of
millions of dollars through the streets
of this city In the 26 years he has
been in it's service, says the Kansas
City Times.
Mr.. Allen, who is negro. is the
medium through which all the cash
which the bank ships to country banks
and the institutions CORE 3fondents
east and west and north and south
is sent to the express office. Daily
$4,000 to $4,000 is sent to country
banks. Sometimes hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in day are sent to
eastern and western points.
"The bank has the most implicit
faith in Mr.. Allen" A. c. Jobes. vice
president, said the other day. I'VE
trust him absolutely"
And as a token of the banks appre-
citation, when the Institution was 20
years old it made Mr.. Allen gift of
house and lot where he lives at 1924
Highland avenue. 1t was the banks
method of showing its appreciation OF
the high class service Mr. Allen had
rendered in carrying hundreds OF mil
lions of dollars of the banks cash
through the streets of Kansas City
and never losing penny.
When Mr.. Allen first went to work
for the bank he was man on the
street looking for any kind of job
he could find. Lombard Brothers
Banking company were opening for
business in the Junction building 26
years ago when Mr.. Allen walked in
and asked for a job-any kind of job
he said They gave him job clean
ing the tile floor, and when the bank
wanted a porter Mr.. Allen got the
place. A few years later he became
the banks messenger, and for eigh-
teen years he has been a trusted en-
ploye. Mr.. Allen is commissioned as
a deputy policeman and is always
armed when he is carrying the fundo
of the bank.

EGO.

An ego is a Latinized I. All men
are created egos and endowed by theii'
Creator with certain inalienable some
things of which neither statute. ukase.
edict, injunction, beggar, magnate.
book agent nor promoter can deprive
them. He who steals my purse steals
trash, but he who filches from me my
ego takes that of which he already
has enough and makes me not at all.
Women without votes have egos
and, strangely enough. would still
have them IL they secured the votes;
hence egos are not political Issue.
An ego is what a man is when he
has nothing and is nothing else: that
is to say, he is then first person singu-
lar and no particular gender.
An ego is neither soul. body, spirit
family, country nor race. 1t is neither
moral nor pathological. A criminal
has Just as much ego as a parson
and no more. Some egos are better
than others, chiefly our own.-Life.

for year a sum of S3,152.20. The

OF the prior amount we should take So

allow another reduction in savings and
expenses and for legitimate business

An investment of $4,000 will hard

the business ventures. Were this sum

the following: A banking system. a

CIVIL SERVICE.

We reaffirm our adherence to the prin-
ciple of appointment of public office
ing good behavior and efficiency. The Re
publican party stands committed to the
maintenance, extension and enforcement
of the civil service law. and 1t favors
the passage of legislation empowering
the President to extend the competitive
Legislation to make possible the equitable
retirement of disabled and superannuat-
ed members of the civil service In order
that a higher standard of efficiency may
be maintained.
We favor the amendment of the fed
eral employees liability law SO as to ex-
tend its provision to all government EN-
ployes as well as to provide a more lib,
erai scale Of compensation for injury and
death.

Right Methods Of Exercise.

"There's IL right way to exercise
and a wrong way" says William
Muldoon. the famous athlete and
trainer. II believe in being out
OF doors and breathing lots Of
fresh air. Oxygen is the great
est vitaliZer in the world. Keep
off the cars. Walk when you
can. If you have a place where
you car take a shower and
change your clothes after a walk
it's q good thing to walk fast
and increase the respiration as
much as possible and get up a
good perspiration. If you can't
take a bath afterward walk just
fast enough to increase the respi-
ration without perspiring too
much. The deep breathing is the
main thing. The oxygen burns
out all the toxic poisons in the
blood. AS for other kinds Of ex-
ercise. tennis. handball. golf,
baseball. cricket and sports of
that general sort r by far the
best. They teach a co-ordina-
ton of brain and nerve and
muscle. which after all is the i'm
portant thing. A football play
er is under a constant heavy
muscular strain. 1t Is the sport
like baseball. with its constant
quick efforts and its demand for
quick mental action. that really
develops a man."
