CITIZENS BANK BUILDING
RAPIDLY ASSUMING SHAPE

The work on the vault in the build
ing being constructed on Main street
for the Citizens National bank is well
under way, a concrete making ma
chine having been installed. This
will be one of the most extensive and
modern vaults in the country when
completed and will admit of the adj
ditional work being taken up. With
the completion of the vault, there will
be a resumption Of the brick work
looking toward the closing of the
building, when the interior work will
be taken up. This will require some
time, owing to the elaborate nature
of the construction and finish and the
institution will be very attractive and
modern when the task is finished. 1t
IS probable the work will be COM
pleted in time for the opening on OF
before the holiday, or very near the
first of the year, as nearly as the
various contractors are able to as
certain at this time.

SENATOR SAYS HE WROTE NO
LETTER TO VASSAR PROPS CAT

Senator James w. Wadsworth, jr.,
says that it's all wrong and q mere
inadvertence II he wrote to a lady's
tomcat in preference to It's mistress.
Mrs. Charles L. Tiffany. Manhattan
Borough Chairman Of the New York
League OF Women Voters. alleged
that's what he did.
She was talking to three-score well
known women who are pledged to try
to defeat wadsworth when she al
legged II.
Mrs. Tiffany. in bringing home her
point that the Senator does not repre-
sent women, said that a woman pro-
fessor at Vassar recently wrote Wads-
worth inquiring about his attitude on
the league OF nations.
After waiting impatiently for . re-
ply. THE professor duplicated her letter
with the same lack of results.
Still unanswered. she wrote third
letter signing the name OF her Thomas
cat-we'll say II was Thomas Davis.
In three days Sir Thomas Davis
Feline was In receipt Of nice. long,
chatty letter from the Senator.
That's how Mrs. Tiffany tells 1t.

Jonah and Whale Becoming
An international Problem

Jonah and the whale have become
en- international problem. Chicago in
vestigators say Jonah didn't and the
whale couldn't, while DIR. Moses Gas
ten. Hebrew student in London, de-
clares 1t quite possible that Jonah en-
tered the whales system and rode
therein with little embarrassment to
himself and none to the whale.
The whales throat was too small
and Jonah too large and anyway a
big fish is a symbol of Hades in He
brew. DR.. r. g. Moulton, of Chicago
University, recently announced.
1t wasn't that kind of a whale and
Jonah was a small man and the
Biblical story doesn't indicate that a
symbol was intended. is the answer of
DIR. Caster. Not all whales have
small throats. DIR. Gasten holds, and
points I'm proof to mounted specimens
in the British museum.
1t is possible that the matter will
be referred to some international
court of inquiry and in this event DR..
Caster offers to present any conclu-
sive proof short of summoning either
Jonah or his little playmate as wit
nesses in their own behalf

cessions made by President Car.
rama to American owners of oil
lands in Mexico. which will make
possible the drilling OF several new
wells Immediately, reached Wall
street today after the close Of the
stock market
Under the new arrangement
licenses are to be issued to the COM
panies for drilling. with the express
understanding that in accepting
these licenses the companies do no,
forfeit any rights they now possess
nor acquire any new rights. The
licenses are provisional until such
time as the Mexican Congress acts
on the oil situation and interprets
article % of the new constitution
All points in dispute are to be
brought up for adjust at that
time.
The forty-six oil companies COM
posing the association sent a joint
telegram to President Carranza sig
nifying their acceptance OF his prop
osition.
What effect the compromise may
have on the prices of stocks will
depend entirely on the technical
condition of the specific issues.
The matter is more Significant I
than its probable effect on stocks
might indicate. The oil fields are
the real bone of contention between
the United States and Mexico. and
