II is a fact not generally known
that the trust companies in the Unit

instruments, titles TO property, mort
cages and original records represent
ing real or personal property having
a face value Of over thirty billions of
dollars equal to one-fourth the en-
tire wealth OF the nation. These Sc
curities and valuables are surrounded
with the most modern and valuables
are surrounded with the most modern
safeguards, and over one hundred
millions of dollors have been expend-
ed by the trust companies in the con-
or installation of the most
perfect safety vaults. The treasure
which is guarded against theft, burg
larry. fire, calamity or any conting-
ency, in the safe deposit departments
conducted by trust companies is.
therefore, greater than any fortune
that Croesus in his widest imagina-
tions ever conceived.
The most advanced mechanical and
electrical devices have been employed
to render these massive vaults absO-
lutely proof against every attack. 1t
is only in rural communities and re-
mote towns that the burglar still
finds, now and then, some obsolete
safe 10 crack" He never ventures
near any of the trust companies or
banks in the larger communities
where up-to-date safety methods have
been installed. Should the venture
some burglar succeed in posing the
many obstacles placed in his path and
reach the compartment where stands
the big vault, awe-inspiring with its
countless bolts, and intricate mechan-
ism, he can apply his jimmy to any
part OF the steel only at the imminent
risk Of setting Off various electric
alarm bells. These signals are con-
nected with the nearest police station
and sound their warning even in the
private house of officers Of the trust
company In fact, a successful attack
upon these modern safety vaults is
yet TO be recorded The burglar has
given up this field OF operations as
hopeless. In addition to the time

connection with latest safety vaults

fairly alive with networks of electric
wiring so that the leost tampering

Of 1856 trust companies in the United

The safe deposit department. as
conducted in connection with trust
companies, first came into promin-
ence after the Civil War when there
was a demand for safe places In
which to store valuables and securi-
ties. IL was also a logical outgrowth
of the work conducted by the trust
department which is called unon TO
keep Wills until the death Of the max

security for the issue of collateral
trust bonds, and to hold mortgages
executed by corporations which CON
vey an enormous amount of property
in trust to trust companies for the

Big First Day Crowds Get
Fun Out of Youth

This weeks bill at the Garrick
Theatre was stamped with approval
at the matinee yesterday afternoon
and the performance last night. both
of which were largely attended. While
il is chiefly comedy and fun runs all
the way through, there are several
numbers which have special merit in
other directions also. Probably the
most interesting feature of the bill
especially to those who regard com
edy above everything else. was the
intensely humorous playlet entitled
youth" which was admirably given
by MTs Gene Hughes and clever
company of comedians. In this act
Mrs. Hughes. who is the central fig
ure, has all kinds of trouble, as a
grandmother. in convincing a demure
daughter and quite as demure a
granddaughter that the world is full
OF life and they are wasting their OPP
portunity if they fail to enjoy it. BY
her own acts she demonstrates the
fact that such is the case, and after
many awkward situations, she trl-
umphs and all are happy and char
acterize grandma as a winner.
Another one of the big acts is that
of the Colonial Septette which is put
on by b. A. Rolfe, and everybody who
goes to the theatre knows what that
means. Il is a musical extravaganza
of the highest type and appears to be
even more popular than when it Wis

it made a great hit. Tod Sloan's SIS

Food Inspection Laws.

s what you please about good ard
bad laws, one of the best laws ever
enacted, one that has benefited the
masses of the people probably more
than any other, is the pure food and
drug law. After Congress passed a
law requiring that drugs and foodstutfs
contain labels giving the actual con-
tents of the package or receptacle, the
individual states also enacted similar
laws which enabled them to deal with
the offenders independently, and in
the aggregate all OF these laws have
resulted in untold benefit to humanity.
Prior to the enactment of laws safe
guarding the food of man and beast all
sorts of deleterious materials were
placed upon the market in attractive
packages without any intimation on
the label as to the actual contents.
Frequently these labels were mislead-
ing if not positively false.

Forced to Advertise.

Prior to the enactment and operation
of the parcel post law the large ex-
press companies maintained such a
complete monopoly of the transporta-
ton of small parcels that they never
used the magazines or newspapers to
advertise their business, knowing that
all of the shipping of the character
handled by them had to come their
way. Now since the parcel post has
made such disastrous inroads in their
income, very materially reducing the
volume of their business, they have
been compelled to employ the columns
of the press to exploit the advantages
to be gained through shipping mer-
chandise by express. Had they been
more considerate of the interests Of
the public before the parcel post law
was enacted, they could probably have
delayed its passage, for time at least.
AS rule, the greed of monopolists
leads ultimately to their own ruin.
