DR.. A. A. Joss Gives
Talk on Oscar Wilde
Woman Hear Beautiful Interpre-
tatiOn of Life Lessons of
Brilliant Irish Poet

DR.. A. A. Joss, rector of the
Church of Holy Communion,
gave a most interesting and
scholarly talk on the Irish poet
-dramatist, Oscar Wilde, at the
home of Mrs. Mary Finn, last
Friday evening. The informal
talk was given at the request
of the Woman's Club, which in
vited as it's guests, the members
of the Twentieth Century Club.
DR.. Joss Interpretation Of Os-
car Wilde's personality, based on
the authors most worthy work,
his De Profundis, was interest
ing from both the psychologist
cal and spiritual viewpoints. DR..
Joss showed with great vivid
ness that Wilde's rise to a high
spiritual plane was due to his
loss of all worthy wishes when
he became a prisoner in the
Reading gaol, and to the unfalt-
ering friendship of his one real
friend, Robert Ross.
The reading of certain pas
sages from De Profoundis helped
DR.. Joss audience to realize
that although Wilde had
sunk deep in the mire Of vice,
he had a heart full of a love for
the best in humanity. DR.. Joss
places De Profoundis high in the
ranks of literary masterpieces,
classifying it with the wonderful
Confessions of ST. Augustine.
The deep underlying, thought
of the talk was reached when
DR.. Joss spoke of the beautiful
friendship with Christ into
which Wilde was led by his Won
derful friendship with "Bobbie'
Ross and the beauty and depth
of the composure his spirit
gained after it's SHINING and
suffering.
| A short and spirited discus
sion of the subject was held at
the close of the talk. Refresh
ments were served by the mem
bers of the Woman's Club.

A bill passed by the late la

the term of office of clerks of

of 1917 as it was before. The
bill was introduced for the pur-

see exactly where this Twenty

First National is
Now Well Equipped
Local Bank Adds New Inventions
That Show Human Intelligence
in Their Operations

Since January first several
new machines and Improvements
have been added at the First
National bank, making this in
stitution at present one of the
best equipped bank buildings in
the state.
Two new devices that materi-
ally facilitate bank operations
are a Melicke Calculator and a
Burroughs Posting Machine. The
calculator computes with abso-
lutte accuracy and marvellous ra-
pidity, the daily interest for any
amount and for any length of
time. When the Indicator stops
nothing remains to be done but
switch out the electric light that
lights up the computing table
under the powerful magnifying
glass-and pay the interest.
Even more interesting is the
posting machine which has radi-
cally changed and simplified the
entire posting system of the
bank. This little machine, which
the casual observer might think
was an ordinary adding machine,
is run by an electric motor and
is so nearly human that one is
assured it would talk if a little
more Juice" were turned on.
AS it is the innocent looking
little arrangement grabs a leaf
from the loose leaf ledger, and
grips tight enough hold to get
the balance of yesterdays &C
count for the individual whom
it may wish to reckon with. Hav-
ing once made sure of the bal
ance, it adds deposits and sub
tracts checks, giving today's
balance with unerring fnality.
It is we'll trained-it never fails
to take exception to an over
draft and starts something as
soon as it discovers one.
To the uninitiated into the
sacred mysteries of banking the
other articles of the equipment
of The First National are also
intensely interesting. Perhaps
there are some residents of the
city who have never realized
that the bank has a burglar
alarm system so sensitive that
the point of a knife blade touch
ing the inner surface of the vault
is sufficient to start a din that
has been heard for radius OF
nearly five miles.
In the vault are also a set OF
nearly ninety safety boxes, ab-
solutely fire proof and as nearly
thief-proof as human ingenuity
can make them. Added to these
safety devices are a system OF
filing cases, and other accounting
aids which greatly simplifies anc
expedites the work of the bank.
In reality the work is so vel
managed by the squad OF adding
machines and type-writers, as
sisted by the posting machine
and calculator that there is NJ
real necessity for human beings
to take part in the work. While
the president, H. A. Baldwin
and his quartette of assistant:
may be necessary to look afte1
the minor details and to satisfy
the rigid demands of the sterl
board of directors, the feeling
that the machinery could man
age pretty we'll alone, is not t.
be suppressed by any one wht
has paid a visit to the bank dur
ing business hours.
