NOTE MADE MUCH TROUBLE
Error in Printing Caused Hotel Clerk
to Fear His Mind Was 6ecom.
=, ing Clouded.

Uncle Sam rarely makes mistakes
in his bank note printing, but one of
the most famous errors he did make
was that Of the Kansas City bank note
which bore "a 500 face and a $50
back. The single note was paid out
by the bank as $1OO note to a Gus.
toner, and he turned it over to To-
cal hotel for the same amount. All
went well until the cashier in check
ing up the days receipts found he
was $50 short. He +recounted the
money and it was correct. Just to
make sure he counted it a. third time
and found himself $50 short again.
For Is minutes he counted and re-
counted. and as last, convinced that
his mind was giving way, he called
the manager, who underwent the same
experience. Both clerk and manager
had counted the bills by stacking them
on the right, pulling off bill and
placing it on the left, turning the bill
over as they did so. The error was
discovered by a third clerk. who was
called in by the frightened hotel Off
Gals, when he counted the bills one by
one and examined both sides. The
bill was turned into the Treasury de-
partment.

EXPLAINS REASON /.
FOR MILD WEATHER

The temperatures for the past
week have continued to be- on the
whole quite uniform, remaining below
freezing temperatures for the whole
week reaching it's lowest temperature
of zero on Tuesday morning, Deem
Der Z. This is the lowest temperature
recorded for the season, and has been
reached on three other days, i. e., No
vember the 9th, 18th, and 18th. Last
year the thermometer dropped below
zero on the 7th of December and re-
NAMED below zero until the 18th,
reaching in the meantime tempera-
ture of 80 degrees below.
Many people are asking why there
is such difference in the tempera-
lures of these two years. The an
swer may be briefly stated in this way.
The weather Of these ATTITUDES is
largely dependent upon the conditions
produced by the passing of high and
low pressure areas which cross the
continent from west to east. The
winds move outward from the centers
of high pressure toward the centers Of
low pressure. If the. centers of low
pressure pass to the south of us, our
winds will be largely from the north
erly directions. If the CLOVIS" pass to
the north of US our winds will be more
dominantly from the south. The tenn.
peratures that accompany the "highs"
are generally low and the tempera-
lures in the Flows" are generally high
err. Last year the general rule was
that the high pressure centers passed
north of US and hence prevailing
northerly wind and low temperatures.
This year the low centers are passing
to the north of us and our winds are
prevailingly south and hence warmer.
The DAYS when we have had the zero
Temperatures have been days when we
were near the centers Of high pres
sure that passed to the north of us.
Science has no definite answer to the
question, "What causes the high and
low pressure areas to move IN differ
ent general paths during different sea-
sons" IN.
The highest and lowest tempera-
lures for each day of the past week
have been as follows:
Friday, Dec. 8, highest temperature
was 80, lowest Is.
Saturday, Dec. 4, highest tempera-
ture q, lowest 81.
Sunday, Dec. B, highest temperature
80, lowest %. s.
Monday, Dec. 6, highest tempera-
ture 26, lowest II.
Tuesday, Dec. Z, highest tempera-
ture %, lowest O.

ture %, lowest IA.

TRAINING IN ART
FOR OUR CHILDREN
b. Walter Gilman Page

Art has been called the hand-maiden
of religion, so why should we not
bring into the child life all the riches
which art has to offer? Every parent
knows the child's interest in all things
pictorial. If a father can draw, even
:, crudely, some common object of our
daily life, he will have plenty Of op-
portunity to exercise whatever talent
he may possess along this line.
All children love to draw and paint,
it is an instructive form Of self-expres-
sion and not enough attention is given
to the appeal which art makes to little
people. .-
No one of US forgets the pictures
which hung on the walls of our
fathers home, and no one can cal
culate the influence which such pic
lures have exercised over US. Let us
place before our children the lovely
reproductions of the great masters,
which we may now obtain at small
cost and many of which are so child
like as to appeal Immediately to all
children. ...- XIX. H
In these times it is not difficult to
use the pictorial, for many magazines
and newspapers contain some good
pictures. Every child's thoughts and
ideals should be formed on what is
beautiful and worth while in art,
music and literature. Is .@....
While a certain amount Of attention
is given to the value of pictorial art
in the schools, the parent can supple
ment this by commencing to collect
from the newspapers and magazines
much that would appeal to the child,
and, with the aid of scrapbook, con-
siderable general information can be
instilled with little effort.
A child never tires of story and
every picture has in itself the germ
of one The child's interest is easily
aroused, and he absorbs far more than
we realize. Long before the time ar
rives for reading, writing and arith-
metic, he may acquire liberal educa-
ton through pictures and the stories
which Daddy has woven about them.
Much enjoyment Of the great works
we see in our art museums is taken
from us because we are unable to ap-
preciate art, for the reason that in our
earliest and most impressionable years
no attention was given to our natural
interest in the pictured world, and one
CANNOT plunge lntO CHe dtWOSpAeIe VI
real art at q bound.
Why do parents exhibit with pride
little Johns first crude attempt at
picture-mak and let it 60 at that !?
It should be guide post for their
own attitude toward the child and lead
them to cultivate this perfectly ma
tural form of expression. Every par
ent is able to open up new world to
his child by careful and judicious use
of the material which comes easiest
to his hand.

RECOMMENDS STIFF.
DEAL FOR SHYSTERS.
C, N GOODWIN, AT ST. LOUIS BAR
MEETING, SUGGESTS WAYS OF
ADVANCING LEGAL PROFESSION
TO HIGHER PLANE.

St. Lous, Mo, Aug. 25.--To give the
public greater confidence in lawyers
and to punish malpractice, Clarence
N. Goodwin. former judge of the APP
relate Court OF Illinois, laid before
the American Bar Association confer

Mr.. Goodwin, a delegate from Chi

that the present voluntary bar assoc

the total number of practicing law
gers and lacked authority TO be Ell

In the place of the existing associa

Mr.. GOodwin's report proposed the
creation by each state of a public
body Of all lawyers authorized to prac-

report declared these lawyers should
have free voice in naming the board
OF governors, whose number would be
fixed by law, and whose disciplinary
action would be subject to the power
OF the state Supreme Court.
II was the hope. the committee re-

"ahere any man can 90 to any, law

altogether honest legal advice On any
ordinary legal question, and ior Ie'
strictly limited by the importance OF
the question involved and the value OF
