That refined comedy is just as effective on the screen as in the spoken drama is proved by g. scene in "The Birth of a Nation, which returns to the Jefferson theatre for reunion week, that never fails to rock an audience in laughter. This one scene typifes the delicacy of D. w.. Griffith's art as strongly as the preten- tious battle scenes, and it demonstrates that much of the horse play in present day film production falls far short of be- ing comedy.
 The scene referred to is the one in which Elsie Stoneman, the northern sw eetheart of Col. Ben Cameron, en- counters lovesick sentry in the mili- tary hospital, where the little coloner is a patient. This particular "bit" is of the sure fire order, for never does an audience miss the rapt devotion of the sentinel and the naughty expression of the young woman rebuking him with a million -miles-away look,
 Paul Le Blanc, the voting actor who is cast in the role of the sentry, is a New Orleans creole by birth. He left New Orleans several years ago, and after a hard struggle he attained the eminence of comedy role with Mime. Bernhardt. 
  the amount on deposit. Other banks now issue a monthly statement in the form of a typed sheet, containing all deposits made and checks paid, with the balance struck. This obviates the necessity of balancing the pass book, which becomes merely a memorandum of deposits made.
 Whatever the method, you should not delay reconciling the balance. It is easily to be seen that the banks balance will not agree with your check book, by req son of the fact that you have issued checks which may not have been presented for payment. It is a good plan to consider every check issued as immediately paid, and deducted from your bank balance. If you do this, you will never be deceived as to the condition .of your account
 Number all checks consecutively and when returned from the bank arrange them numerically, and check them as to amount with the check book stubs. After you have ascertained what checks you have issued that have not been paid. sub- tract the amount from the balance shown by the bank, which should agree with your own balance. If any difference oc- curs after assuring yourself that you are right, report the matter at once to the bank.
 It is well to examine the checks re- turned to see that they are all signed by you, and that the amounts have not been raised, t/ latter being proven from the checkir<~ process above noted If you will follow these simple directions. and see that your account is reconciled at least 60 days, it will help both you and the bank officials, for they desire freouent reconcilements and do not care to have vouchers accumulate for long period AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION.

TALKS ON BANKING
Reconciling Your Bank Account

If you keep a checking account with a bank it is important both to you and to the bank to know that your accounts agree. Errors are liable to be made on both sides, A deposit that should have gone to your account may have been credited to one with similar name, and likewise check may have been wrongly charged against your account Forgeries may have been committed through your checks, and errors incidental to keeping a large number of accounts are always possible. It becomes important, therefore, to frequently adjust your balance with that of the bank, both for the sake of pro- tection and for the sake of accuracy.
 A great many banks balance the pass bsok when left for this purpose. by listing on the adding machine the paid checks, deducting the amount from the total of

I BOOk---ONE GENT
FISH HATcHERIES WOULD BE
FINE FOR FISH COMPANIES
Mayor Thompson, Lake Michigan's
publicity agent, looks favorably on
the plan for a municipal aquarium for
Chicago. But" he said. There
should be more fish in the lake. Fish
are to eat not to look at.
Then the mayor went on to suggest
to the government that it would be
great and glorious thing to have fish
hatcheTies on the eastern side Of the
lake where all the little streams make
spawning beds. He says these hatch
cries would fill the lake with fish that,
soon or later would grace the table Of
Chicagoans.
Unfortunately for Chicago this
plan doesn't work out. Two miles off
shore and running from Wilmette to
Hammond, Indiana, are nets. Most
of them belong to the Booth Fisheries
Company This hempen barrier,
which makes Chicago's lake front the
poorest fishing ground on the great
lakes, is maintained all year around.
So if the government followed
Mayor Thompson's suggestion we
might have a few more fish for our
tables but they would have to be pur-
chased from the Booth Fisheries Co.
There is no pleasanter sight for
the pessimist than a trip along the
lake front Sunday to watch hopeful
fishermen pull up perch fngerlings.
