Your Bank Account

Have you little money in the
bank? If not, why not? We will
assume, in the first place, that you
haven't. Do you know that you are
depriving yourself of feeling of
security that nothing else in the
world equals? The workingman with
a little bank account, say, just enough
to tide him over for a month or two,
isn't afraid of sickness or non-em-
plOyment. He is free man, and
can look his employer and every other
man in the face without the fear that,
without the favor of that employer or
that friend, he would be reduced to
desperate straits to make ends meet.
The bank account is the breeder OF
self-coufdence, of efficiency, of happi-
ness. Rich men in their palaces,
their yachts and their automobiles
are no freer, no more independent
than the man with the bank account.
Every great economist bases his sys-
tenn of economy on the fundamental
fact that it is not what is made that
is the foundation of fortunes, but
what is saved. A man has earned in
years time just what he has at the
end of the year. The rest has gone
for expenses, whether for necessities
or luxuries. The net savings of the
year are the years sole earnings.
The bank account, however small,
has peculiar way of making a real
man of it's owner. It's pretty hard
to stand up straight and defy the
world with nothing to back up your
bluff but two or three meals ahead.
It's ten to one bet that the man
who is penniless and talks about the
great things he can do, is bob-tailed
fusher. Money may be the root of
all evil. Certainly it is the root of
solid independence, of character and
golden happiness, even though you
have very small amount of it.

LOOKING Through . Periscope.

It is an experience to glance through
a periscope Of submarine when sub
merged. It is also something that
needs getting accustomed to before any
distinct image can be made out The
first thing that strikes the novice is the
extraordinarily wide range of vision.
The whole outline Of vessel can be
clearly made out, though the ship may
be comparatively close at hand, while
farther away the ocean can be swept
to very considerable extent Those
who have been accustomed to subma-
rines since their early days state that
vast improvements have been made In
periscOpes lately over the former pat
terms, when the view was very re-
stricted. Submerged watchers were
then often puzzled to know whether it
was the hull of q ship or portion Of
the coast they could see. - London

DECISIVE ACTION ID RESTORE ORDER IN
 MEXICO IS URGED
United States May Give the Leaders But One Month More in Which to Stop
 Civil Strife

Washington. July S.-Urgent sugges- longer than another month before talk ing some decisive action to restore law and order in Mexico have been for warded to the state department by several American consular officers in the northern part of the republic. All these reports, it was learned tonight, have been forwarded to President Will son at Cornish, N. H., after being care fully studied by state department of ficials here.
 Threatened famine and the inabil : ity of the contending military factions to restore peace and establish a gov ernment that could be recognized by the United States are dwelt upon by the consular officers. Conditions more serious than ever troubled Mexico has seen before are predicted unless the United States lends hand quickly. Recognition of some element which may set up a strong government with the moral support of the United States Is the solution usually urged.
 Meagre dispatches that reached the state department today from Vera Cruz said Carranzas army, estimated at 25.- 9e0 men. had pressed its fight for pos SC ession of Mexico City within 10 miles of the capital. Apparently the invest ing forces had advanced II miles against the zapata defenders in two days, practically reaching the city s suburbs.
 None of the departments advices in- dtcated whether the defenders. who are believed to number about 15,o00. had

BURNING STEAMERS SPEEDING FOR PORT;;
 MUNITIONS ABOARD
Fire on Steamship Minne-- haha May Have Been Started by Frank
 Holt, Is Belief

New York, July s-While the steamship Minnehaha, afire at sea with 1o'ooo tons of war munitions aboard, was speeding to Halifax, N S., tonight Atlantic Transport line officials and authorities here were bending every effort to learn if the blaze could have been the work of Frank Holt. assailant of J. P. Morgan. who had given warning that steamship would sink in mid d-ocean July '.
 The Minnehaha is due to reach Halifax tomorrow morning. Captain Claret's last message said the fire was under con- trol. It started yesterday from an ex- ploson in forward hold, far away from the ammunition. Line officials here be- lieve that Captain Claret picked up the wireless warning sent to all ships and had caused a search to be made to as- certain if there were any bombs aboard
 The fact that no further word was re- ceived tonight at the offices of the At lantic Transport line was taken to indi- cate that the ship was making good progress
 The Minnehaha left here July 4, for London. She carried no passengers Her crew numbered nearly 100.
 The possible fate of the Minnehaha overshadowed all other developments in the case of the man who set off the cap itol bomb, then shot J. P. Morgan and finally killed himself.
 The theory that Holt had accomplices because of the large amount of money he was supposed to have spent was al- most abandoned by the police tonight on receipt here of much of the dead man s correspondence. After many letters were read 1t was announced nothing had been found to indicate that Holt had an ac.

Conferences between the departments of state and justice will be held before an answer is given. A serious diplomatic controversy may develop. The practice of returning volunteers to England has prevailed since the beginning of the Euro pean war, and 1t is said the British gov ernment Is prepared to register an em- phatic protest if the United States takes the position that 1t is illegal.
 The return of indictments at San Fran cisco against five persons charged with enlisting recruits for the British army is understood to have precipitated the ambassadors action.
 According to the British contention, 1t is unjustly discriminatory to interfere with the transportation of volunteers who are not actually enlisted on American soil when no objection has been made to noti-
