What Makes a Savings
Bank Safe =?

The man or woman who thinks Of
making deposit of his or her little
savings, oftentimes his or her all,
naturally does some hard thinking
with reference to the matter Of safety.
There are great many. financial
institutions which parade at the head
Of their announcements long list
of distinguished names, names which
are an ornament, and names OF men
whose association with any Savings
Bank ought to make a bank worthy
Of confidence.
Depositors should not be deceived
by these names. The names OF
General So-and-So and Hon So
and-So and Col. So-dnd-So do not
add to the safety Of the bank, it they
belong to that class of directors who
do not direct.
In this connection the Hyde Park
Savings Bank has a wo,d to say. 1t
is a matter of common knowledge
that the managers oil this bank have
given to its investments much care
full consideration and scrutiny that
in It's more than twenty-three years
of existence it has never lost a
dollar by poor note--a record per.
haps unparalleled in the history of
banks. Not only do its managers
scrutinize with painstaking care
every detail connected with its
Investments, but the results show
that those investments ARE made
conservatively and with determine
tion that safety rather than high rates
OF interest shall be the guiding
principle of the Bank.
Parties thinking of making de
posts are invited to address the
President, Carroll S. Page, OF the
Treasurer, Frank M. Culver, asking
for statement Of it's assets and
liabilities.
Deposits made either Unregistered
mail, check, postal money order, or
express money order, are absolutely
safe, as in the twenty-three years
experience not dollar has ever been
lost by depositor sending money to
/ this bank by mail.

Applying tho Cure.

A hard drinker was informed by
his doctor that he could be cured if
every time he felt that he must
have drink he would Immediately
take something to eat instead. The
man followed the advice and was
cured, but the habit of asking for
food had become 80 fixed with him
that he was once nearly locked up
as a lunatic. He was stopping at a
hotel and, hearing great commo-
tion in the room next to his, he
,peered over the transom to see what
the matter was. He saw, and
rushed madly down to the office
and shouted to the clerk: "The

RUG suPERsTlTloMs.
Many Oriental Weavers In Constant
Dread Of the Evil Eye"

Many Oriental Weavers In Constant
Dread Of the Evil Eye"
The little cottage oriental rugs
often made by girls who are shortly
to be married in Turkey, Persia, on
the Armenian plateau and in Af-
ghanistan carry with them all the
poetry and mysticism of the orien-
tai girls mind as she is Just bud
ding into womanhood. "
She weaves into the rugs almost
her very thoughts---so much is rug
weaving part of the oriental life
and so little is it purely CONNER
cial pursuit. Time is not counted of
value in the east when rugs are
made. Consequently Americans
have found it impossible to COM
pete with the orientals in the man
ufacture of these practically ever
lasting products.
In some parts of the oriental rug
countries it is considered wrong to
have the rugs seen in the making
by Christians. If such an accident
occurs and one from the western
world views one of the rugs the
workman offsets the suspected in
jury by weaving small white spot
in the rug, to keep away the "evil
eye" "
Sometimes, when the rug is not
made for sale, but as the dowry of
some girl at the, time of her mar
riage, and when something inaus-
picious has happened, a little
break is left in the border of the
rug, by which it is hoped that the
devil may escape from the house
hold. Were the border continuous
the orientals believe that the devil
would run around and around the
rug and never leave the house.

SOME AUTO FIGURES.

In an interesting lecture recently given by E. s. Foljambe, editor of the Commercial Car Journal of Phila- deIphia some surprising statistics were given regarding the automobile industry.
 In his opening remark MT. Fol jambe quoted figures showing that in the brief period of not over twelve years. the manufacture of motor driven vehicles has leaped into the third place of importance among the industries of this country.
 Twelve ears ago there were not over 5000 motor vehicles in use in America-noW there are over 652,46l, these being the registration figures up to April 1912.
 The daily production of pleasure cars during the year 1911 reached the surprising figure of zoo per day and this number will be exceeded at the present rate for 1912, one maker alone now producing 10000 cars a month or at the rate of complete car every minu-e and 21 seconds.
 Commercial cars have not been a factor until the last three years. There are now over 200 American manufacturers of pleasure cars and 2S0 makers of trucks.
 Up to 1911. registration figures show 25.451 commercial vehicles in use.
 It is significant of the recent inn petus in the manufacture of com merciaI cars that estimates place the production for 1912 at 30,000 Thus. },av af 1- tor trucks in use will be double.
 In a canvass, made by the Com mercial Car Journal. it was ascer- tained that some = per cent of all users of commercial cars. in every line of business. throughout the United States. are unanimous in the opinion that the motOr-driVen truck is not only past the experimental stage, but ranks with the telephone telegraph. electric light and trans portation lines Numerous quota tjOns of letters from men in all kinds of business. were given, showing con cmsiveIy that commercial cars art considered more economical thar former methods

It's a thing to remember. these days, the the radicals of Abraham Lincolns time attacked him quite as noisily and bitterly-though not so coarsely-as their successors are at tacking his present worthy and like minded ccessor-William Howard Taft One of them, Wendell Phil lips, was a very great orator-the most eloquent American of his gen eration. They inveighed against Ab- raham Lincolns renomination; they tried to prevent his reelection. They held a separate convention and nom mated a radical candidate of their own. How many Americans of this generation could give-off- -hand-that candidates name? Of Lincoln it may be said Gas Jefferson said of Franklin) that time will be making him greater while it is sponging us from it's records.
