BANK OF ENGLAND
TO BE MODERNIzED
The Strongest Financial Institution in
the World May Discard Old
Usages.

New York, Aug. 31.-Dispatches
from London indicate that the famous
old Bastile of finance-the solid mas
sive pile that houses the Bank of Eng
land-may be replaced by a modern
banking STRUCTURE. Oher reforms
TOO, may dispense with some of the
ancient usages of that ultra -conserva-
tive institution which to this day
clothes its messengers in salmon COL
ored, swallow-ta tailed coats, flaming
scarlet waistcoats, black trousers and
high silk hats
The porter in crimson and gold lace
still keeps watch in the entrance way.
Thirty six soldiers stand guard every
night and have done so since 1880.
This picturesqueness may always re-
main.
But some administrative changes to
meet business conditions since the
armistice appear probable. However,
here is no bought of amending the
purpose for which the Bank of Eng
land was established, namely, to serve
the British government and the Brit
ish people. This was made plain at a
recent shareholders meeting.
The question was raised whether it
was fair TO the stockholders not to
have the bank take advantage of pres
ent opportunities TO increase its earn
ings and pay larger dividends, par
ticularly i'm view of the handsome
profits returned by other British banks.
The governor responded that public
service was the first aim of the Bank
of England. There was applause
and no further inquiry about increased
dividends.
Since 1884 the bank has regularly
carried over S50.00O,00O of the British
national debt-carr.ed it at IL per-
cent interest since 1892. BY a credit
system. it assisted the government with
advances of more than billion dol
lars during the war.
How the bank won it's prestige as
the most powerful of banks, and why
IL is today a tower of strength in
England's struggle for recovery, is
told in English Public Finance" a

ARGENTINE TO LEND
MONEY TO EMPLOYEES

Rio de Janeiro, Aug 3i.-That money
lenders have apparently gained a great
hold on a large number of government
employees is indicated by the introduce
ton in the federal chamber of deputies
of bin authorizing a special loan of
about S25.000Oo0. part of which is 10
be devoted to liquidating such debts.
The bill provides that the treasury
shall reimburse itself for the payment
Of these debts by deducting the amount
from the employees wages in 60 in
s:a.Iments and take interest at six per
cent annually on the balance out
standing.
Part of the special soan, the bill pro-
vides, would be used to reimburse gov
eminent employees for the amounts
taken from their salaries by the spe-
cial tax during the war period.

of its resources.
Even it's large capital and surplus of
some 17,800,000 pounds (about $50 ,000,-
000) are exceeded or closely ap-
preached by those of several of the
London joint stock banks, and far
surpassed by those of the American
Federal Reserve banks.
The banks great influence is due to
possessing practically the sole right OF
note issue in England, to it's authority
in management of public debt, to the
acquisition of the governments de-
post accounts, freedom from taxation
and other privileges granted in return
for it's service to the state.
Despite all this authority the own
ership and control of the bank remain
solely in the hands of it's private pro
prietors. The state has no proprie-
tary interest in the capital of the bank
and no voice in its management. This
private ownership dates from the the
ownership of the bank in 1894.
A board of directors, self electing
including a governor and deputy gov
ernor, manage the bank. The deputy
governor always becomes the COVER
nor and usually the oldest director
who has not been in office succeeds as
deputy governor. It takes about 20
years from the time a man is first
elected a director until he arrives, as
it is called, "at the chair"
The bank has it's own provident So
ciety to promote life insurance among
it's large staff and payment of annui-
ties to their families. 1t has a we'll
appointed library and reading room,
retains its own medical officer for the
benefit of employees. and the staff is
managed on a civil service basis,
Young men entering the employ of the
bank frequently spend their lives in
it's service.

Her stomach and liver were in

seemed to do her any good, and she
kept going from bad to worse and
getting weaker all the time. She
was terribly nervous and slept only
little while at a time and had to
be up with her all hours of the
night.
"She scarcely had any appetite
and what little she did eat didn't
agree with her. After eating she
