I'm still gain at the door, wonderin'
if Mr.. Robert has jumped down the ele-

"Ah, say, Miss Hampton!" says |.
"Why throw the harpoon so hasty when

"Was he?" says she. "Then his best
isn't very wonderful, is it,"
"But you didn't give him a show" says
!. Course it was dippy play OF his,
luggin' me along, as warned him. Be-

SAVINGS BANKERS OF Nk-,
TON MEET IN CONVENTION
ADVOCATES MORE LIQUID
SECURITIES FOR SAVING
DEPOSITORIES
(By Associated Press,)

Seattle, Wash, Sept 7.-Meant
whereby the savings banks of the
country might do away with the pro
vision that calls for advance notice
before a depositor withdraws his
money, were advocated in an address
by George f. Edwards, a New York
savings bank president, before the
Savings Bank section of the American
Bankers association convention here
today.
The solution of the problem, he
contended, was in allowing savings
banks to invest in more liquid securi-
ties Panics, he continued, were not
developed from the fear of depositors
that they would not ultimately get
their money from the banks, but from
the fear that they would not be able
to get the money just when they
wanted it,
Not only in fairness to depositors,
but as matter Of policy, would it
not be far wiser to invest a portion Of
our funds in short-time loans, of the
character generally referred to as
liquid, and in time of emergency de-
pend upon such loans rather than upon
the required notices of withdrawal.
"The entrance of the federal reserve
banks into our financial system did
away with one unfortunate necessity ~
the clearing house certificate. That
other unfortunate necessity-notice of
from the depositors--
should have passed away by virtue of
