This curious name for London
street possibly arose from the fact that
the word usage" in former times was
applied to the strips of common land,
or paths, between private plots of
cultivated land. London's Crooked
Usage" street was probably one of
these paths.

Musical Prodiaies.

Most musical prodigies are boys In
spite of the law that girls develop
mentally faster than boys. Girl prodi-
gies on the violin are almost un-
known. Very few of the great divas
have been known as child wonders,
although there is a mesmeric method
by which young girls can be taught
to sing in imitation of great artists.

"READ THAT, MR.. COX"
AND Mr.. COX DID READ.

A little incident connected with cam
didate Coxs recent campaign visit
to New York indicates that the Demo-
cratic nomjHee is striving to forget
certain indiscreet editorials which ap-
peared in his newspaper, the Dayton
News. before the owner of the paper
aspired to the Presidency.
AS the Democratic nominee was
leaving the Hotel Commodore after
luncheon commercial traveller forced
his way through the throng of curious
spectators and thrust into Mr.. Cox's
hand an editorial clipping which prov
ed to be his denunciation of the
commercial travellers of the United
States. Read that, Mr.. Cox" COM
manded the travelling man. The Demo-
cratic candidate unfoded the frayed
column Of newspaper matter, glanced
at the heading, scanned the first para
graph, flushed scarlet to the ears and
crumpling the offensive and offending
editorial In his fist mumbled some
thing which none Of those near him at
the time would repeat and hurried to
his waiting automobile.

MILLIONS IN U. S.

directly Affected by Roads
Solvency.
DIVISION OF SECURITIES
Mutual SAVINGS Banks Owned Entire
Iy by Depositors Hold Large
Amount of Railway
Bonds.

MILLIONS OF thrifty Americans VINO
have laid aside something for rainy
day" are directly or indirectly owners
of railroad securities. This ownership
represents not only individual invest
ment in the railroads, but holdings of
railroad securities by life insurance
companies, savings banks, fire and ma
rine insurance companies, benevolent
associations, educational institutions,
trust companies and State and Nation
al banks A large part of the assets
of these Institutions depend on the sol
vency of the railroads.
The ownership of railroad securities
among these people is divided approx
imately as follows:
Individuals, numbering over
100000, own outright about $1O,-
000,000,000 in railroad securities.
Over 100000 are stockholders with
an average holding of $13,956.
Life insurance companies, with
53,000,000 policies in force, own
nearly $2,00O,oOo,00O of railway
securities
Savings banks, with 100000
depositors, own $S47000,00O.
Fire and marine insurance COM
panies, casualty and surety COM
panies own a total of $649, 100000
Benevolent associations, col
Ieges, schools, charitable institu-
tions, ETC., own S350,000,000
Trust companies, State and Ma
tional banks own 1866, 100000
According to statistics compiled for
<,fI e., Tn pt.ae
idents in 1918, 2765 per cent of life
insurance companies assets were in
vested in railroad bonds, and during
the first half of 1919 the percentage of
railroad bonds held by the life insur-
ance companies was POPS of the total
assets of these companies.
Interest of Wage Farmers.
In addition to this widespread own
ership of equities of American rail-
roads by the people of the United
States every wage Garner who puts
money into the savings bank has di-
rect interest In the soundness of rail-
road investment on account of the
large part of the savings of men and
women wage earners secured by the
railroad bonds which are bought by the
savings DdHhS.
A great many of these institutions
are mutual savings banks which have
no capital stock, pay no dividends,
earn no profits for stockholders, and
their entire property belongs to the de-
| positors. Every dollar that the bank
earns beyond the actual cost of doing
business also belongs to them.
The report of the United States
Comptroller of the Currency for 1918
shows that 625 of these savings banks
operated on the mutual plan had at the
end of 1919 total deposits of 81 ,422,-
096, 6,393.15 credited to 9,011 AGA depos-
itors, an average deposit of S49072.
These figures covered mutual savings
banks In IS states of the Union.
The Comptroller's report gives the
amount of railroad bonds held by mu-
tual savings banks in the six New Eng
land states-Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts. Rhode Island
and Connecticut-as S406 272, 166. The
report of the State Superintendent of
Banks of Now York shows that the
railroad bonds held by the mutual saw
lngs banks at tha eEd Of 1913 in New
