 ceIns which were borrowers at banks in which they were interested.
 "'The psychological moment has ar. rived" said Mr. Doyle, "when svs. tems in use for many years must he revised, chiefly because of new cuT- rency bi1 which, in my opinion.
 is one of the best laws ever enactac and will prevent money panics for all

 1 In speaking of the business outlook generally, Mir. Doyle said he hoped "the present business depression has turned the corner and that the banks
 may use the enormous sums of idle money at fair rates"
 Joseph L. Emerson, banking com missioner of Tennessee, another
 speaker, said that he had saved sev- eral small banks which had become insovent by permitting directors to
 give bonds for the protection of dc,
 positors.

Drowsiness in Church.

Why bald heads nod in church, to
the great annoyance of ministers has
been discovered By Ralph Eyre Of
Osceola, Iowa. a senior electrical engi-
neering student in the State univer-
sity. Mr.. Eyre has found the scien-
tific basis for the fact that bald headed
men are prone to fall asleep in church
and he has found the remedy for this
fortunate fact. "A glaring light be-
fore the eyes Is sure to produce drow-
siness." Mr.. Eyre reasoned. Men with
bald heads and negligible eyebrows
are less protected from glaring lights
than those blessed with abundant hair.
Women who wear hats that shade

awake. A little care In placing lights
in a church will have all the differ
