IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Plenty Of Money for Crops


Henry Clews, the we'll known New
York banker. sends out the following
encouraging bulletin on the money sit
uation under Saturdays date:
THE demand for our foodstuffs by
Europe will be so great this fall that
payment thereof will go very far to-
ward meeting the many demands for
moving our crops, consequently there
will be less money for our banks to
supply; this will do much toward pre-
venting the stringency so generally eN-
pected. Now the money scare is broken,
good deal of call funds will be like
ly to go into time loans, owing to the
wide difference between call and time
money.
This process will advance call money
rates as a natural sequence. This viii
be wholesome feature and substan-
tial gain to business interests generally.
The money scare can now be consid-
cred as collapsed, and the Secretary of
the Treasury is entitled to the credit
therefor through the moral effect of
his suggestion to the banks to take
out emergency currency whenever re-
quired to protect the needs of their
dealers, thus showing that the new ad-
ministration is in favor of aiding the
business interests of the country and
is against depression or panic condi-
tions, for which / applaud them. 1t is
now quite evident that clearing house
| certificates will not be needed this fall
as many have been predicting would be
necessary.
"They will be superseded by the
emergency currency il occasion abso-

be per cent for the first 80 days,

THE LITTLE STRANGER

DR.. Norman Porritt in the July Strand
If the little stranger fills the parents
with JOY, its reception by brothers
wants the warmth of welcome given by
the sisters. The girls hang round the
little cherub with reticence of won
dering delight, but the boys are apt
to express their feelings in the terms
of the little chap who exclaimed: I'D
much rather it had been parrot"
"What do you think?" one little boy
asked playmate. '"rhe Doctors brought
baby to our house. Isn't it horrid?"
Rotten. Can't you get him to take
it back?"
No; it's too late. We've used it four
days"
little girl, after relating how God
had sent her baby brother, added. as
she thought of the straw laid outside
the house in order that the mother
might not be disturbed by the noise of
the traffic, And it was well packed"
Another little girl thought it such
pity that when baby arrived mother
should be poorly in bed. One of my
little patients told his mother after the

Scattering Ashes of the Dead

1t is not difficult to analyze the
feeling which prompts one to scatter
the ashes of his dead from a high
point, whether it be from the top of
q great office building, from the CEN
trail span of some great bridge or
from the summit of a lofty mountain
peak. In such places man somehow
feels closer to the infinite. Consciously
or unconsciously, he who scatters the
ashes of a deceased loved one from
these elevations believes that they are
thus more quickly mingled with the
4nfinite, whence they came.
However, the rights of others must
be considered. The new law is based
upon the idea that it is against the
public health to have these ashes
floating about in the atmosphere to be
breathed by those on the lower levels.
This is sufficient justification for the
new law, to say nothing of the shock

Harrison Rhodes, in Harper's Magazine
for July.
The presence of royalty is pleasantly
pervasive at San Sebastian, but never

! If you like to use 50 splendid a phrase, is,
in fact, a very modest residence-it would
attract no great attention in any self re-
specting suburb of a prosperous American
city. From it his majesty descends often
to go motoring, motor boating, strolling
along the Concha, or visiting at the boat
like building of the Nautical club, quite
as might any other happy, good natured
young fellow. The Queen mother takes
walks and looks in at the shops The
Queen goes driving. And the royal chill
dren are familiarity and frequently seen
in kind of confusion of nurses and gov
ernesses, drawn in an open carriage by
four magnificent mules. If royal cousins
or ducal relations happen to be staying
a few days at any of the San Sebastian
hotels their various majesties are apt to
drop in for quiet family meal. OF course
there is a strip of red carpet laid down
the front steps, and of course the small
page boys of the hotel have fresh, white
gloves with an air of carrying the af-
fairs of the whole nation upon their mar
row shoulders. Otherwise there is little
extra formality beyond that which even
our own simple American taste would
consider due to the head of a country, be
