Large scandals from small talks grow.
Prosperity helps some men TO forget
their friends.
As a matter of fact, necessary evil
is unnecessary.
To live long and prosper let the other
fellow worry.
Men are never criticised for what they
do If they never do anything
To blame is human-and to blame if
on the other fellow is still. more So
Even in the good old summer time one
encounters lot of cheap skates
The man who wants the earth is ant
to get his share-if the mud thro,y.rs
are Oh the Job.
Thanks to a shiftless husband many a
woman has developed into an able
financier
Every man ought TO know at least as
much about his own business as he does
about the other fellows.
And many a girl wastes her tim. try
ing TO cultivate her vocal range. when
a cooking range would be more il her
line
Every time a spinster looks at a man
VINO has just been led t" the altar by "A
widow she says to herself: How easily
you poor men are fooled"

The board Of trustees Of the Frazer
Fitting School announced yesterday
that Professor A. r.. Banks has with
drawn from the faculty Of the institu-
ton and that the work has been dis
tributed 30 as to care for all OF the
Classes. Professor Banks has been
conversant with every movement of
she institution since his connection
with 1t In September. It vas evident
soon after the oAening OF the insti-
tuition that the e lenses would be. in
excess of the receipts. 1t Is. the set
tied policy OF the institution to keep
clean OF anything like large indebt-
edness. When the real situation was
confronted Professor Banks, very gem.
erously offered to withdraw from the.
institution, inasmuch as he was. the
most recent addition to the faculty.
and inasmuch ,as his, ties. to Ander,.
son were not so binding as those OF
other members OF the faculty. The
whole matter has been most satisfac-
torily arranged and Professor Banks
In leaving the institution OF his own
accord has the highest esteem or the
faculty and members OF the board OF
trustees. and they are likewise ;es-
teemed by him. The services render
ed by Professor Banks were most,
satisfactory and ,but for the great a.
nancial stress caused by the war in
Europe there would have never been
any thought 0f such change In the
plans OF the institution.

bly, fine work and 1t is go arranged

ONE BRIGHT SPOT.

Henry Clews, the New York fin.
ancial expert, sees one bright spot IN
the great conflict now raging IN
Europe. He believes that the awful
loss of life and property will cause
worldwide economy and bring about
sounder business conditions for years
to come. He says:
There is still another favorable fea-
ture Of the situation that will IN all
probability follow the arrangement
caused by the European conflict. l
refer to the worldwide necessity for
economies that will be forced in all
branches of national, state, municipal
as we'll as individual affairs. Extrav-
agance has been increasing on such a
phenomenal scale that some check has
long been needed. The real effect will
be far-reaching. Abroad, the race for
competitive ornaments will presum-
ably end for a considerable period with
the termination of the war. Our own
people have undoubtedly received an
object lesson of the necessity OF ac-
cumulating for rainy day. They may
with good reason be expected, when
their incomes return to normal basis,
to take advantage of the low level Of
high grade securities as the best moth
cd of investing their savings.

The INNOCENT 1Y.sTANpER.

1t seems to be the fate of the lin.
nocent by-stander" that he gets 1t in
the neck whether he holds his ground
or runs away. The countries Of Bel
GUM and China are good illustra-
tons. While the trouble which led
to the present terrible war in
Europe was brewing, Belgium was
merely a spectator among the ma
tions, the little buffer state minding
it's own business and taking sides
with none. When the vast army of
Germans appeared at the frontier and
demanded the right to cross the
neutral territory, the Belgians, in
stead of running away held their
ground and insisted that they be per-
mitted to remain neutral. The world
knows what has happened to the Bel
gians as result
China furnishes an example of the
other extreme. When Japan jumped
into the fray against Germany, the
latter nation advised the Chinese to
make sure that their neutrality was
not violated. If China had obeyed
and held it's ground, the investment of
the German port of Using Tau In the
province of Kiao Chau, would have
been well nigh an impossibility as
the Japs would have been compelled
to land troops almost under the guns
OF the German forts. China did not
fellow the example of Belgium and
when the Japs landed on Chinese soil
On their way to Kiao Chau, they met
with no opposition. Thereupon Ger
many has notified China that China
will be held responsible by the Ger
mans for any damage that may be
done to German interests as a result
of the expected siege of Using Tau.
Belgium stood up for it's neutrality
and has been terribly punished.
China has neglected to enforce neu-
trality and is promised punishment in
the future. The fate of the innocent
by-stander is not a happy one.
