held a special directors meeting to
consider the matter and then-decid-
ed to expunge from their records all
references to the meeting. There
may have been good reasons for
Chicago banks not going in on the
loan, but why the fear to even think
about it? 1t is more or less charac-

banks, by the way, stick together

GEMS FROM ToDAY's EXAMINER

Exam" Bah! More mush from the
feebIe-minded to the feeble minded.
Young Fleischn1Rnn may be good
sort; we don't know. He may shovel
coal for a few hours, may walk
around a power plant for several
weeks, may learn ONE of the tricks
of making yeast and may listen to
the line of CUFF handed out by yeast
statesmen. Yet he\wilI have long va
cations at the seashoore or in the
mountains, will have an automobile
or two and will come into possession
of fortune which some one else has
earned.
The Exam" did not forget the
bunk that always goes along with
such story about the young man
Learning Yeast Business From the
Ground Up Wins Promotion" Sure,
they always do. In a few short
months, or a couple of years at the
outside, these brilliant young men
are found holding fat executive jobs
with short hours and big pay.
But the young man whose dad
does not own the business, who goes
in to learn the business but that's
another story. Wonder if the pow
ers that be at the Exam" Office over
looked the fact that the F1eischmann
yeast is sometimes advertised.
The Examiner has cartoon show
ing the fat and jovial money-center
gaily jumping from London to New
York and ready for another "yump" |
to Chicago. This is another kind of |
bunk-an appeal to local pride and
flattery to the Chicago fnancier. |
Why doesn't the money center shift |
to Chicago? The few courageous
and thoughtful Chicago bankers
know. They know that most of their |
colleagues are lot of white-livered,
chicken-hearted, scared rabbits,
afraid of State street, afraid of their !
depositors.

The annual Philadelphia custom OF
breaking all previous records for regis
tration in the high schools OF the city
was followed faithfully today when an
army OF nearly 1000 boys and girls. who
completed their elementary education in
June. matriculated in the various insti-
tutions OF higher education throughout
the city.
There now are registered In the high
schools throughout the city 100 more
pupils than this time a year ago. and as
consequence the capacity Of all the
schools is being taxed. In Germantown,
Frankford and South Philadelphia the
sounds of the voices of the boys and
girls returning TO school commlngled
with the buzz and bang OF hammer and
saw as carpenters went about the work
OF erecting new buildings TO accommo-
date the aever-increasing number Of ap-
plicants for higher education.
The registration is double that of ten
years ago. Associate Superintendent
Wheeler said there has been a constant
Increase, year after year. which could
only be construed as an indication that
there Is growing desire on the part OF
parents to provide their children with the
foundations OF good education.

pupils were called together to hear short
