weight OF trouble was lifted from

Notice was given 4 year ago to the
banks that they must do this. The diff
ference between interest collected but
not earned was considered an incense
auential matter. and bankers believed
that it was OF no practical use or i'm
pOrtance that the banks should show
that difference. 1t added accounting
burdens and consequent expense to the
banks. No uniform plan for computing
and presenting that difference was Of
fered by the Treasury, but such a plan
with appropriate blank forms was PROM
ised Neither plan nor forms has been
forthcoming.

the bankmen are in the armed service

increa SEES in the number Of depositors
and their accounts and sundry eX-

An Opinion of KOIchak

Catherine BreshkovEly's old and

VVTHAT is that queer, little
w trait in women that so
often makes them want to
wreck their own happiness and
that of others for no real reason
under the sun? They sometimes
seem possessed Of a desire to
make themselves and every one
associated with them miserable,
just for the luxury of feeling
themselves sighted and aggrieved
and ill-used. It doesn't pay.
No one consciously desires the
state Of woe. At heart we all want
to be "blithe and happy and good
and gay" but some sensitive
souls drift into it without realiz-
ing it.
A girl-she says she is not yet
twenty-has written me that she
was married few months ago to
a man she dearly loves, but that
although she is confident he was
deeply in love with her at :he
time of their marriage, he is now
so indifferent in his manner that
she is utterly miserable.
eff he would only be as he was
in the first few weeks after we
were married, and as l would like
him always to be, there would be
no happier woman in the world
than myself" is her plant.
Use Common Sense.
Ny dear girl, stop a moment
and think. If l should ask you
what is the greatest thing in the
world, you would Immediately
answer Glove" Certainly; we will
take that for granted. But life
holds many other things Of almost
equal Importance, among them,
common sense.
Then use your common sense.
Make it do a little much needed
reconstruction work for you.
Suppose we argue the case.
The Washington times., 1919-09-26

And when We asked him what he
meant by that, he said:
He is always preaching sermons
at the funerals Of rich men or Of
rich women, and I suppose he
thinks it's his duty to give them a
chance to cry at the funeral.
He knows they're having a
dreadful time to keep from won
dering about the will"
thought that this, coming from
the lips Of the rich man, was one
Of the saddest things I'd ever
heard in my life.
And yet he himself was beloved
as few men are belOved-not for
his money, but for himself. How
terrible it must be to look at all
the world with such suspicion!
Some Tears Sweet.
The man who left it in his will
that none Of his family should
mourn or give any outward ex-
pressiOns of grief at his death
oh, how could he lay such an in
junction upon the hearts of those
he left behind him?
Tears are the natural outlet Of
sorrow. l never saw any one who
cried bitterly in grief 90 mad.
To others-those who seek to
hold themselves too strictly to a
rule of ContrOl-their stories some
times turn out to be very different.

or too brave, or too self-controlled,
or too cold, or too careless, or too

Fer there are some tears that
are sweoter than all the laughter
and all the smiles in the world.
