He is warmly clothed and housed; abundanty fed and

Some Of them disabled by service in that are In
sore need
There not enough hospital accommodations for all

Many bound up in red tape that they feel them
selves denied the square deal.
Does II strike you justice that Hohenzollem should
have castles and servants galore while thousands Of the
boys who stood between the former kaisers greedy hand
and freedom should suffer want?
Any time anybody tells you that too much is asked for
the soldiers compare what they receive with what the

H a mistaken idea that driver may not be arrested
n and fined for reckless driving simply because he
doesn't happen TO hit anybody any damage by
his rccklessness When charge is made against
driver under these circumstances The court may decide
eist It more by good luck than good management
that harm done.
Robert r. Tdcn, coored truck driver learned this TO
his when he recently appeared before Deputy
Judge Finger charged with driving recklessy The cir
oumsiances follows: 4 Mrs. Bird pushing a baby
coach started 10 Jefferson street Eleventh. when
Tden driving his truck west Delaware avenue turned
sharply into Jefferson street Mrs Bird had warning
that the truck about to had time make
any move TO avoid the machine Luckily. the baby coach
was missed but by the narrowest OF margins

witnessed the incident pursued Tlden got his and
address and the secretary OF The Safety Council
warrant and caused the arrest Mrs Bird and the Vigil
ant appeared against the cupr who fined $40 and
costs.
Judge Finger lectured the driver mpressng upon him
the fact that possible TO be guilty OF reckless
driving without speeding
This is very good point for auto drivers TO remember

may not be going beyond the speed limit

THE MORLD,s GREATEST.

A UGUsrE COMTE compiled a still well-known calendar
IN OF the worlds great men, from the dawn OF history
down to about 1920. Many~Deaware book lovers have
seen IL.
His list includes only 500
To get this many he included such tiny stars as the
English dramatis Thomas Otway; the American novelist
Fennfmore Cooper, and the Italian composer Donzett
one conclusion that may be drawn from this is that
many men who might be called great not recognized
Doubtless this is true today.
The man who Invented the typewriter has affected the
lives OF millions Judged by the benefits he has conferred
this inventor might we'll be called great But how many
know that the typewriter was devised by Christopher
Latham Sholes collector OF customs at Milwaukee
in 1862
Another conclusion to be drawn from the old list OF the
worlds great men is that recognition OF greatness is an
accident
Men are much alike, however greatly their achieve
ments may vary. Greatness, may conclude is merely
label attached to a few who are little different from
their fellows whom calls great

EASIER MONEY,

President National Bank OF Com
merce, New York.
Business men are justified in feel
ing confident that. the money situa-
tion in the United States in 1921 will
be a very different matter from what
1t has been during 1920.
Certain specific factors are clearly
recognizable as the chief adverse
forces affecting bank credit during
the past year, and there is every rea-
son for believing they wall not be so
powerfully operative in the year to
come.
While there has been marked con-
traction in the non-liquid and specu-
iallNe elements of bank credits. there
mas Deen a continued expansion in
tIle accommodation extended to meet
business needs. This explains Whv.
although to mid-October contraction
was not operative in the total vol
une or credit, better conditions were
IN slgnt IN the banking situation. It
was because there had been this

we may also hope that we shall

Finally, we may expect that prices

Is IL SHERMAN2

Sherman may have the significance
OF "Shire-man" or of Sherman"
One theory is that the first who took
the name Of sherman. or Shereman,
as il was originally spelled, was one
who dwelt outside the county OF Nor
folk, England For in that county,
anyone born in some shirc not Nor
fOlk, is called a "shireman," indcat-
ing that he has come from another
shire. Undoubtedly some who bear
the name are descended from one who
gained his daily bread with the
shears. There were many of these
Shear-men who worked shearing
worsted in the old days of hand
woven cloth.
The theory has also been put
forward that the original Shermans
were descendants of one who had oc-
cupied a position Of judge Of the
county court. lie was known as a
scirman or sherman.
