INSTITUTIONS OF
FINANCE FAVOR IT
Will Conserve Savings Of
Pupils News Notes Of
City Schools
(By Benjamin Rawlins.) }

~-NO
board, Supt. Zemer recommended
systematic savings bank for introduc-
ton into the public schools of the
city. All the banks of the city have
signifled their willingness to cooper
ate in the carrying out of this sys-
tenn. The plan is as follows: Each
pupil will be supplied with an en-
velope, arranged to slip in his saw
ings. He is personally responsible
for these savings. When 81 has been
placed in the envelope, it is taken to
a bank of his own choosing. Then
the bank counts his or her savings
and gives credit for the amount. The
pupil returns slip with amount cred
tied by the bank to the teacher. The
record is then kept by his or her
teacher of the amount credited by
the bank. In this way the pupil has
kept account of his savings, as well
as has the bank and teacher. But no
money is exchanged, except between
the pupil and the bank No teacher
handles any money. She simply
makes record of the banks state
ment of credit. Allowing the pupil
to handle his money teaches him not
only saving and thrift, but gives him
an actual experience in banking. The
parents can examine these records
of the children and see Just what
they are doing
In this day of experience, when
everybody is talking economy, it
seems a very appropriate time to
give children an opportunity to save
their pennies and nickels against a
day of necessity. 1t is to be hoped
that not only children in the grades,
but high school pupils as well, will
take advantage of this savings sys-
tenn and thus profit against a day of
greater need of money. The board
Internationally endorsed this system,
feeling that it would be a splendid
thing for the children and students
of the city. 1t is hoped by the man
agement generally, that parents will
give this matter serious thought and
encourage their children to enter the
road to thrift.

BERG MAKES BANK REPORT
Reflects Unprecedented Prosperity OF
Ohio's Business-Resource
Near $1,000, 100000.

Co1umbus.-Unprecedented prosper
ity in Ohio is indicated by statement
issued by Phillip c. Berg, Superintend-
ent State Department Banks and
Banking, in which it is shown that
Ohio state and private banks have re-
sources of nearly $1,OO0,O0O,O00. The
report is dated June 2G, 1917, and is
contrasted with like statement of
March 5.
The net increase in resources for
state banks during the period between
the two reports is $22,79O,673. A de-
crease of S1,002,127 in private banks
was noted. The total resources were
1898, ,279.
The largest individual increase was
in United States bonds, not included in
reserve, which reflected the floating OF
| the liberty loan bond issue. 1t was
| S14,3S5,761 in state bonds, making a
total of $14,621, 1894, and $479,036 in pri
vate banks, whose total was $502,976
A corresponding decrease in the "due
from reserve banks" item of $17,543,
469 in state banks and $2,219,355 ir
private banks.

In War.Torn Monastir.

When I saw Monastir for the last
time, fully one-half of its population
were still hiding in the cellars and hop
ing that the Bulgarians might be
driven on, says Herbert Corey, in the
National Geographic Magazine. The
streets were empty. The one cafe that
remained open was tenanted only by
French soldiers singing a rousing Gal
lie chorus; and in the single restaurant
the only guests besides myself were
the Italian officers. At night there is
never light in the city.
I have never felt so absolutely alone
as in wandering through these broad,
white, moonlit streets. When a
regiment of tired men shuff1ed by, their
hobnails scraping on the cobbles, sat
down on the curb to watch them. They
! took the curse of emptiness off the
| town.
Then an English officer came up and
asked the sort of question one learns
| to expect from an Englishman and
from no other man on earth.
Where" said he, ''can 1 find pi-
ano? We want to have a sort of a
sing-song tonight"

Is UP TO NATIONAL HEADS
State Officials Without Power to Act
on Requests to Lower Quotas
Cox Flooded With Requests.

Columbus.-Pending any change in
through alteration Of the drafts by the
general army staff at Washington, the
state officials charged with the work
are proceeding with the completion of
the arrangements for the examination
OF the men called by lot. Certain dis
satlshed cities, such as Akron and
Youngstown, are persisting in a de-
mand for a reduction of their quotas
because of the inclusion in their regis
tration of aliens and are bombarding
Gov. Cox with requests for definite
action on his part, even though it is
accepted here that this change, if it
is made, must be ordered nationally.
Gov. Cox officially notified the local
selecting boards of their quotas by
mailing to each a formal letter advis-
ing them of the figures as a prelimi-
nary to physical examination in the
order in which the numbers were
drawn at Washington.
Printed blanks to be used in the va
rious counties by the boards and the
conscripts also were shipped out in or.
der that all might be in readiness
when the notification to begin exami
nations was transmitted from military
headquarters.
Incidental to the error discovered
at Canton in the Stark county re
turns, there was a change made il
two Cleveland districts and one Gin
cinnati district whereby six conscripts
will escape the draft. Instead of 2,78t
on the first call Stark county will fur
nish 1,405. The registration, which
really is 1876, was reported as 30,702

DAYTON READY FOR CALL
Meeting Called, at Which Members
Will Officially Be Announced
Wood Gives Statement.

Dayton.-Intense interest centers in
the next move in the national game of
war and $500 young men in Dayton
and Montgomery county anxiously
await summons from the draft boards
to appear for examination, after which
exemptions will be filed by those who
believe they should not be sent across,
the sea. After the completion of the
drawing, the local board members ar
ranged for a meeting at which the
next step will be taken. Each of the
$4,000 or more who were registered in
this city and county will receive his
official number.
Adjutant General George H. Wood,
who came here, expressed his satisfac-
tion over the successful working out
of the draft plan which succeeded, by
only a few hours preparation, the
elaborate scheme which previously
had been decided on. He estimated
that 1900 men will be taken from the
selected army to fill the Ohio division
of IA regiments, and that 10000 will be
required to bring the standing army
| to its full strength.

He Wanted to Sleep.

Policemen on duty along the East
side in New York become accustomed
to about everything and register
amazement only after long considera-
ton of the thousands of odd things
about them when they find something
new or inexplainab1e. One morning
the cop on the Second avenue beat
found one. 1t was a tattered and
mangey fur coat which hung over a
street light, making the sidewalk dark
at that particular spot. AS he climbed
up to remove it a voice from the house
it was an irritable and sleepy voice
halted him. "Get away" roared the
sleepy one "All night 1 don't get a
chance to sleep on account of that
light. Don't touch it; put it out there
on purpose" After which the coat was
neatly rolled and slammed back where
it originally came from.

teaspoonfuls of cornstarch which has
been mixed with little cold milk and
cooked; add the juice of lemon and
pour into small dishes. Cover with a
meringue cooked over hot water, us
ing the two whites of the eggs. This
is lemon pie without the pastry. Ado
two tablespoonfuls of sugar to the
whites, after they are well beater
! and drop by spoonfuls on the top o1
boiling water.

trult fresh in its prime, there are many
most delicious dainties that may be
prepared from them, however the dried
fig lends itself to so many delightful
dishes that no one need deny himself a
few fig dishes. The following dishes
may be prepared equally as well from
the dried figs as the fresh, provided
they are freshened by soaking in fruit
juice.
Fig OmeIet.-Cut small pieces of
figs in pieces and stew them in a lit
tie sugar and water until tender. Beat
the yolks of four eggs until thick, add
ing a tablespoonful of cold water to
each egg, fold in the stiffiy beaten
whites and pour into hot omelet pan,
sprinkle the figs over the top, fold and
serve with the hot sirup.
Picked Figs.-For this recipe use
freshly picked ripe figs. Wipe care
fully and use only those that are per
fectly sound. To ten pounds Of figs
take five pounds of sugar. Put the
sugar with three and half cupfuls
of water, and six cupfuls of vinegar
two tablespoonfuls Of cloves, four
inches of stick cinnamon into a sauce
pan. When 1t boils 20 minutes lay in
the figs, boil until tender, skim out the
figs and place them in a fruit can
Cook the sirup until it is quite thick
Strain over the figs and cover wher
cold.
Fig Filling for Cakes.-Wash an6
dry half a pound of figs, then put
them through a meat chopper. Cool
them in double boiler with three ia
blespoonfuls of water, two of sugar, 6
tablespoonful of lemon juice, until 4
forms a smooth paste. Add a table
spoonful of vanilla extract or frui
| Juice, and spread between layers of thu
cake. A split fig dropped into a cup
full of custard and cooked in it adds tt
J the flavor and nutrition Of the Gus
| tard.
Figs are used in lemon jelly, fig
as chopped fruit in cake or drop cook
| les, as q confection with fondant. o
mixed with chopped nuts and packe'
into jelly glasses they make deliciou
filling for sandwiches. This will keel
for weeks if kept In the ice chest.
It is never wise to make too larg
an omelet as they do not cook throug
well. Two small ones are much NOR
satisfactory when more than six pee
pie are to be served.
