A GENERATION
OF WONDERS

Editorial in the New York Mail
Nations celebrate their centennials
and men their birthdays. There re-
mains one anniversary which could
best be celebrated right now. 1t is
the end of the generation, and the
celebrants would be all men born thir-
ty-three years ago. They have seen
more than their share.
Some of the marvels of the genera
ton had their beginnings before, but
in effect these things have happened
in the last thirty-three years: The
cities have passed from horse cars to
cable cars, and from cable cars to cleo
trio traction and in various instances
from surface to underground trans
portation. The motor car has super
seeded the horse and has made two
miles in less than a minute; the pas
-senger capacity of American motor
cars is greater than that of Ameri-
can trains. Airplanes have mounted
about 10000 feet in the air: airplanes
and airships have crossed the Allan
tie; perhaps $4,000 airplanes were US
ed in the World war; mail, passenger
and express air services have been
established Submarine war vessels
came near driving surface fighting
ships from certain sections of the sea.

Banks Make Big
Gain in Deposits
INCREASE DURING PAST YEAR
is SHOWN TO REACH SUM
OF S45,2O3,797.77.

Deposits in the l ,193 state banks
savings banks and trust companies IN
Minnesota increased $45, 203, 797.77 In
the past year, F. E. Pearson, super
intendent of banks has announced
under state supervision, total $462, A.
725 ,644.41, as compared to $427 ,52l, )
SAC. ga in 1919.
By comparison with the reports OF
June 30, 1920, at which time the de-
posts were $47O,981, 784.83-the high
est in the history of the state-the
present report shows decrease OF
only IT per cent, which is considered
a remarkable small decrease, since
great sums are used for the movement
and financing of crops.
Trend Is Downward.
"The trend of commodity prices is
clearly downward, and so long as that
condition continues, the volume of
bank deposits likely will decrease, y
Mr.. Pearson said. ut is, therefore,
imperative that bankers redouble their
efforts to liquidate loans, and insist
upon payments, not only sufficient to
keep pace with the gradual decline
in deposits, but to take up outstand-
ing bills payable, and rediscounts.
The total resources of the banks. on
October 6, 1920, were S543, 4,O75.84,
a gain of $64,6O4,013.57 during the
past year. Total loans are $470, 1872
1874, increase of SCI All ,213.45 dur
ing the year-indicating that loans
have mounted more than the increase
in deposits.
Bills payable and rediscounts are
$25, 621 ,385.49, increase of $20,1051O5
since the fall of 1919. The cash re-
serve of banks, under state supervi-
sion is $49,918,9 91.47 which is S16,
Alp, 7O3 .23 in excess Of the legal re-
quirement.
Not Selling Products.
The farmer is named as the party
who is hating the liquidation, adj
ding that "The failure to enforce Ii
quotation is primarily due to the re-
cent decline in prices of farm pro-
ducts, and the resulting tendency on
part of the farmer to withhold his
products from the market"
The superintendent of banks sounds
a warning to banks as to the neces-
sity of reducing the outstanding
loans, which have increased in state
banks in Minnesota, while the rest of
the nation has been making a cam
paign to reduce the loans.
"Only such banks as go into the
year 1921 with a strong cash reserve,
and no outstanding obligations for
borrowed money, will be in position
throughout the year to extend to the
farming and business interests of the
communities, in which they are To-
Gated, the service and accommodations,
to which these communities are enti-
tied" Mr.. Pearson said

Whose Money?

Who is the real owner of those dol
lars which jingle so merrily in your
pocket this morning?
Are they yours?
Or do they belong to the grocers
who has fed your family for the last
month and who needs those very dol
lars to help meet his bills at the whole
sale house.
Have you paid for that suit of cloth
es which you purchased last spring
and for which you agreed to settle
"in a few days."
The fuel bill?
What about the meat bill?
The ice bill?
When a merchant extends credit to
you he IS paying you very high
He is placing your word
on the same basis as gold and silver.
He accepts your promise to pay in
stead of the actual cash and he charges
you no interest.
Now, friends, was his faith in you
justified? Is your word as good as
the cash? That rests entirely with
you

work among the school children thru
it's junior Red Cross branch, and it
has, as one result Of the war expert
ence, put preparation for disaster re-
lief on a scientific foundation, so that
it now is equipped to meet disaster
emergencies promptly in almost every
part of our country.
It's Record Enough.
"By systematic plans and practical

Cross should be continued and carried
over from war activity into peace time
activity. The answer is in the record.
additional to these obvious aspects
of the matter, there is another rea-
son why l, as president of the United
States and president of the American
Red Cross, urge my fellow country
men to join the Red Cross in impress
sive numbers: Reaction follows emo
ton, and after great effort comes per-
ilous lassitude. Sound patriotism and
genuine human service are continu-
Gus, not intermittent, not contingent
merely on the excitement of war.
"1f there is in some of us an in

phone, men can communicate across
the sea. By the talking machine they
can hear in their own homes the voices
of great singers, the music of bands
and 0rchestras. In its motion picture
theater every hamlet sees noted men
and women enacting the situations Of
picture drama Electricity has sue
ceeded gas in the home. The bathtub
and open plumbing have succeeded the
Saturday night washtub on the kitch-
en- floor. Upon the farm have come
the tractor, the telephone, the electric
mixer.
Science, which lowered the genera
ton with these things, gave it also
the infinite curse of poison gas war
fare, but did much to square the bill
by developing the X-ray, by the dis
covery and utilization Of radium, by
identifying the vermin carriers Of
malaria, typhoid, yellow fever and bu-
bonic plague, and by almost wiping
yellow fever from the earth.
Man, as the so-called social animal,
has "struck twelve" in this genera
ton, killing or disabling 40,00O,000 of
his brothers in the World war and
burning up so per cent of the accumu-
lated wealth of the ages. Every auto
cracy has been consumed in the con-
flagration, about 5O,0OO,O0O heretofore
submerged Europeans have govern
ments Of their own; American women
have the vote; 18O,000.0O0 Russians
are inmates of a political madhouse
with keepers rather than rulers.
A tangled record to appralse, with
the scientists showing up rather bet
ter than the men anointed to rule.
One of the good gifts of the genera
ton to the mar of SO is the fact that
he is still a young man, which was
not the case of his father at the same
age; and presumably, therefore, he
will be able to profit from his own
experience.

spelling is the spelling of that day;
the wood cuts through admirably re-
produced, are somewhat in the line or
the antiquarian; the appended Latin
text is Latin, and the notes are notes.
But let the same reader turn to the
general introduction and he will be de-
lighted with the account given of med
ical ethics at Salerno in the year HOO.
Archimatheus, for example, wrote
book on how a physician should con-
duct himself while making a call. He
is advised to learn all he can about
his patient before he arrives, SO that
he can inspire confidence in the sick
man by proving to him that he. has
devined something Of the nature OF
his illness.
Upon arriving he greets the entire
family and then sits down, praising
the beauty Of the location, the ele-
gance of the home, and the generosi-
ty of the family. On leaving he tells
the patient that he will recover, al
though he assures the family that his
chances are slight. If the patient re-
covers the physicians reputation will
be enhanced; if he dies he can state
that the outcome was as he predicted.
If invited to take dinner with the fam
lily he must eat long and hearty
meal, taking care, however, not to ap-
pear as though it were his first for a
long while. During the meal he must
show great interest in his patient and
excuse himself from time to time
while he looks after him. When at
last he is ready to leave it is his duty
to make a final visit to the sick bed,
assuring the patient that he will soon
be enjoying the same type of meal it |
has just been his privilege to partake
of with the finest people on earth.
There may have been some charlatan-
ry mixed with the medicine of the
venerable Archimatheus, but accord
ing to Sir John Harrington the NOR
5ality was not high Salerno 800 years
ago

The New Woman
Her Own Cook

Thrift Magazine: Time was when
some mothers were proud of daugh-
tiers who could fold their lily white
hands and say, Il don't know how to
cook. Dinah attends to all that.
That was in the days before the re-
cent war.
With domestic science taught in the
schools, and our magazines full Of
helnful, practical suggestions, our
girls want to cook. But we cannot
expect them to retain enthusiasm ere
ated in the schools unless we give
some thought to the work ourselves.
The kitchens should be made attrac-
tive. modern and sanitary and fur
nished with the tools necessary to do
efficient work. For instance, a vege-
table and fruit set. costing so cents,
will peel without waste, ard without
soiling the hands, core the apples,
leaving only small round hole thru
the center, cut apples into ribbons for
ornamental fruit salads, etc.
1t is easy then to teach the girls the
little things that help to make cook
ing more interesting. They should be
taught to use freely old newspapers
to clean the stoves and spread over
the table to save so much washing,
to keep rice, sugar and all the spices
in some sort of container labeled, to
save hunting through paper bags to
find what they want. That the dish
rag should be kept sweet and clean, as
we'll as the dish towels should also
be borne in mind.
In fact, we should impress upon the
girls mind the truth that cooking IS
a profession and in order to be prof.
cient in it they must be serious and
practice it with care and patience.
