Big St. Louis Bank
Strongly Endorses
Credit Insurance.

A well-known ST. Louis bank has written
us letter which we think will be of much
interest to any manufacturer or wholesaler.
Here it is:
"In analyzing the statements of Manufac-
turers and Jobbers in connection with ap-
plications for bank loans, we pay consider
able attention to the element of Fire In
surance on the property and Life Insurance
on any of the officers or members
e'Inasmuch as the annual turnover of
merchant is several times the value of his
stock on hand at any given time, it is also
of vital importance that his credit accounts
be insured against unusual loss through bad
debts.
"We, therefore, have no hesitation in stating
that in our opinion a Manufacturer or Job
Der should carry Credit Insurance, and that
his doing so is an important consideration
to bank"
Bankers appreciate that it takes more skill
to do business successfully when prices are
falling, as now, than when prices were in
creasing. And they therefore endorse pre-
cautions that prevent, else pay, bad debt
losses beyond the normal, which the Amer
ican's ''Unimited- acknowledgement Pol
icy does.

GREAT WORK FOR GREAT MEN

To be a manufacturer and distributor
of faith is about the greatest work one can
do. There is no finer profession than one
which compels, us to build faith into the
minds of men. In business, faith is needed
quite as much as money.
When we give man our confidence,
when we believe in him, when we express
our faith in him and his work, we make
easier all his tasks and tighten his load,
and remove or help remove the greatest
obstacle on his road to success.
Believe, then, in yourself, your neigh
bors, your work, your own ultimate at
tainment of more complete happiness 1t
is only the farmer who faithfully plants
seeds in the spring who reaps harvest
in the autumn.-Seiecfed.

n. We have two Latin

our own fashion. We have two Latin
words, per cenfum, cut the second to get
per cent, and then melted them together
with an English termination to give us
percentage. We have taken risque and
made it risky, and we are in the process
of taking brusque and making it brusk;,
and this is as it should be, since foreign
word which keeps its foreign pronuncia-
ton or its foreign spelling is always
menance to the purity of English. The
alien words we admit to citizenship in
our vocabulary when its spelling does not
call attention to its original outlandish-
ness. So it was that cafeteria and auto
mat, as names for special kinds of restau-
rant, slipped into general use without ex-
citing general notice.-Harbers's Maya

YANKEE MECHANICAL GENIUS

When Garfield A. Wood took his chal
lenger, Miss America, to England to lift
the Harmsworth trophy, his opponents
simply did not believe that his motor boat
could make the speed with which it was
credited. The race convinced them. 1t
was not exactly walkover, yet the Amer
ican boat never was in any real danger of
losing the contest.
The victory, personal to the owner and
builder to some extent is really one of a
long series of triumphs for American
mechanical genius. We often boast more
than we can perform, and in some things,
in many of the arts, including perhaps the
art of living, Europe bests us.
But America has her undoubted field,
and this is the mechanical one. Our fail
ures have been the failures of inattention.
Once reused to the importance of any de-
vice or machine, Americans have invar-
iabiy forged to the front.-The Dearborn
Indebendenf.

ter endeavored to ascend to heaven on his
mount he fell off. Pegasus continued his
fight, however, and was translated into
the constellation which bears his name.
In the northeast corner of the square is
Alpheratz, star which belongs equally
to Pegasus and to Andromeda, in whose
head it shines. Alpharatz means the
"Horse's Navel" Andromeda was chained
to rock and rescued by Perseus, and in
the constellation her extended arms and
chained hands are shown by rows of small
stars, on the north and south. In this con-
stelation is the Great Andromeda Nebula,
which by good glass is revealed as a
luminous cloud. On the Photographic
plate it resembles whirlwind of snow,
and from the condition of its spectrum
some have thought that it is an outside
universe, composed of stars too distant to
be properly distinguished.
All whose names begin with the letter
"W" will know Cassiopeia, the constela
ton which looks like a huge w in the
sky. Cassiopeia was the wife of Cephus,
King of Aethiopia, and mother of Andro-
media. All three appear in close prox-
unity near the North Pole Cassiopeia
was the scene of one of the greatest as
Economical occurrences on record. Near
the star Kappa (K) there appeared in
1872 brilliant new star, more brilliant
than any other nova that has ever been
seen. This is known as Tycho's Star, be-
ing named after the Danish astronomer,
Tycho Brahe, who was diligent student
of the phenomenon during the sixteen
months that it was visible. There is now
a red variable star, of the tenth magni-
tude, quite close to the spot where the nova
appeared, and it is thought that this may
be the star itself.
Cassiopeia's husband and Andromeda's
father, Cephus is not SO conspicuous. The
leading star of this constellation is Aid
eramin, the Right Arm, which will be the
Pole-star in about fifty-fve hundred years
time. In Cephus is Sir William HerscePs
Garnet Star" Sir William declared it
to be the most deeply colored star that the
unaided eye could find in the heavens.
But one needs glass to appreciate its
beauty-Seiected.

QUEER SOURCES OF NEW WORDS

New words are derived from all sorts
of sources. To bluff, for example, which
began life as necessary technical term
in poker, spread into general use in the
United States crossed the western ocean
and established itself in Great Britain,
and now crossed the English Channel and
forced its admission into French and tia
liam and German. Perhaps to pass the
buck, having a similar origin, will in time
attain to a similar worldwide acceptance.
To sboof, criticism originating in the
the sporting circles of London, bids fair to
be adopted in New York, although its at
tractiveness is as slight as its utility.
Equally unnecessary is forelady, which is
intended to be more elegant appelation
for forewoman and which seems to pre-
sage companion toregentleman-or
would it be foregent? In another new
word which we owe also to the busy marts
Of trade we can note again the ability of

to whom we have been introduced is,
salesbrrson, a name intended to apply to
an employee of either sex.
These verbal novelties we have made
out of our stock, so to speak; and at the
same time we have kept on taking over
terms from other tongues, in accord with
our ancient custom, as result of which
the words of foreign origin in our every
day speech-so a historian of our Ian
guage has asserted "far outnumber those
of Old English origin And upon these
alien vocables we have worked our will in
