Following are half a dozen outstand-
ing advantages of using a savings

/. Safety. Savings banks are the
safest financial institutions in this
country. Recent statistics showed the
total liabilities OF failed savings banks
in proportion to the aggregate depos-
its of all such banks TO be only about
six ten-thousandths OF one per cent

The Question of Flags

escape destruction. 1t raised the
American flag. The thought back OF
the strategem was curious. AS the
New York Times suggests, there is not
a man at the periscope of any German
submarine who does not know that
the American flag does not fly over
a vessel of any such tonnage.
We may protest that the use of the
American flag is distasteful to this
country. but international usage which
permits a destroyer to fly another flag
for the purpose of destruction hardly
may forbid a non-combatant to use
one TO escape destruction.

Theatrical Note.


The musical comedy show which
was to appear at the Airdome last
night for the first show of a two night
stand. failed to be given an account of
the nonappearance of the entire COM
pany. Three of the gents and three
girls were here to go ahead with a
comedy skit. but Mgr. Dwyer would
not book them unless they had the en-
tire company. So as not to disappoint
the patrons entirely. Mgr Dwyer pre-
vailed on the two comedians to do a
little vaudeville sketch for the even
ing's show. They did and their wit
and nonsense took well as did please
Pull Down the Curtain" and ITS a

that is bound to please. The theatre
is comfortable heated three large
stoves in various parts of the theatre
giving the required amount of warmth.
