TO TOWN OAR OWNERS

For three or four weeks in Oc-
tober good many students will be
working in the country, and they
will need you and your car to take
them out on Sunday evening, and
perhaps to bring them home Satur-
day evening-tired and sore.
See If you can't render them a
real service with your car. Tell
them to ring you and ask for what
they want and that you will gladly
do what you can. Be good scout
and a good comrade in this matter
and allow yourself to feel that you
are filling an assignment in the am
bulance corps somewhere in France.

FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Chicago is prepared to subscribe
$2O0,000,000 towards the Governments
war loan. Chicago investment bank
ers and bond statesmen have pledged
to do their bit by disposing of the
Governments bonds without compen.
sation.
Just what Chicago can do was out
lined at conference in the Chicago
Club attended by Frank A. Vanderlip,
president of the National City Bank
of New York, and dozen bankers
representing the biggest banks in this
city.
Gould I be given an estimate of
the amount of bonds Chicago could
take care of to make up the war
loan?" asked Mr. Vanderlip of Arthur
Reynolds, vice.president of the Con.
tinental & Commercial National Bank,
during the discussion.
"The Government can positively
count on Chicago raising 100000, 900
within mighty short time," replied
Mr. Reynolds. Chicago banks never
were in such sound shape as they are
now. We are prepared for any emer.
gency. / believe this amount could
be raised without fear of impairing
the deposits. At least thirty invest.
ment banking and bond brokerage
houses have pledged their hearty co.
operation in the Government war
loan and agreed to dispose of the
bonds without 1 cent of cost to the
Government"

PROTECT HONEST BANKS.

A stringent State law 10 needed b,
regulate the establishment Of banks.
There are too many wildcat financial
schemes now In existence In Chicago
Not wishing to compete with the big
banks, irresponsible people are starting
up small banks In the outlying districts
Of Chicago, from time to time. This
practice has had disastrous results
upon the business and financial inter.
eats Of the entire city. Many hundred
small business men and traders have
been ruined by this class OF institu.
lions.
This nefarious practice should be
stopped and the only way to stop II 10
by municipal legislation.
A provision ought to be made In the
city charter authorizing the city under
lts police power to regulate the estab
lishment Of banks and creating In
pursuance of this work q board for
tho examination Of all proposed new
banking concerns. Such board
should be given ample power to exam.

promoters Of these institutions. and
none should be allowed to be licensed
unless such a. could show assets ample
for the carrying on Of their business,
sufilcient to cover the amount Of their
deposits, and sound and substantial
enough to thoroughly protect their
depositors.
There can be no question as to the
right and the Justice of the city to
exercise such power under a properly
constructed charter provision. II the
city has the right to regulate plumb
ers, to regulate engineers. to regulate
the electrical business. to regulate pawn.
brokers and the scores Of other busi-
ness enterprises and Industries over
which It exercises unquestIoned super.

DE PAUL DESERVES FINANCIAL
SUPPORT.

Very Rev. F. Y. McCabe, the pop.
ular and eloquent president of De
Paul University, is doing much for
Chicago and has done much. The
great institution of learning of which
he is the head deserves the financial
aid of the wealthy and influential
people OF Chicago who have the good
of the city at heart.
II will be nineteen years next June
since the charter was issued for st.
Nincents College, on the North Side
of Chicago. Ten years ago the charter
was changed from st. Vincent's Col.
lege TO that of De Paul University.
At that time the College of Engineer
ing was added TO the College of Arts
and Sciences. Six years ago last
September there were between two
and three hundred students enrolled.
Since that time the Colleges of Elec.
trical, Civil, Mechanical and Chem.
ical Engineering have been de-
veloped. The Colleges of Music, Ed.
ucation and Commerce have been or.
ganized and developed. The Illinois
College of Law and the Illinois Law
School have been affiliated as the law
department of De Paul University.
Last year De Paul University pur-
chased these two schools, and they
are at present the property of De
Paul University and the permanent
law department thereof. These law
colleges. day and night, have their
present quarters, together with the
Colleges Of Commerce and Education,
in the Tower Building, corner of Mad.
ison and Michigan boulevard. 4 mem
Der Of the faculty, speaking of the
great work of De Paul, said:

money here, as his great packing

possible way and his charities, al
though quiet and transformations, have
been numerous and substantial, as
everybody knows.
Altogether, he has been a most use.
