He is only about two and a half feet
tall and weighs only thirty five pounds
but Silver is nevertheless one of the
most important visitors at the. Belmont
track, Narberth.
No Grand Circuit meet is complete
without him. lie is an Airedale of very
definite deineanor and can spot real
follower of the turf in one swift glance.
Silver is the mascot of Lon Melon
aid, one of the premier drivers of the
Grand Circuit. and is known by horse
men all over the country.
The racing stable is to Silver what
the stage Is to an actor. He hobnobs
among the champion horses and has
kindly wag of the tail for all. There's
something in his very demeanor which
emphasizes good fellowship.
While he is cordial to those he knows.
Silver has all of that canine con-
servatismr- characteristic Of the Aire-
dale. He knows the real thing from
the selling platter, and n man must
make good before he gets recognition
from Silver.
He holds aloof from new grooms
employed by his master until they show
their class. Then he gradually let's
down the barriers.
Silver is little more than six years
old, but he is wise dog at that. Mr..
Mcdonald got him through an odd
transaction. but now he could not be
bought for his weight in gold.

When Ross Sisk set out to win a
Black Beauty bicycle he selected bank
ers as the target at which to shoot for
subscriptions. Hc scored twenty six
bank officers and nine others to take the
evening. morning and Sunday PUBLIC
LEDGER and win for him the prize he
sought.
Ross is nine years old. His home is
at 315 North Fourth street, Reading.
1t has only been recently he moved
there from Monocacy, ten miles away,
but it was in his present home town
he obtained his greatest number of sub
scriptions.
When one considers the more or less
solemn atmosphere of a bank and then
pictures the nine year old salesman in
vading its solemn precincts, the prize is
conceded.
Ross tells his story like this:
I'D go in the bank and ask to see
one of the officers. Sometimes they'd be
in and sometimes not. If they wern't I'd
go back again. With permission, I'd go
in to see him and in the Office tell him
how I'd wanted bicycle for some time
and was saving for 1t, but the method
was slow compared to getting it through
the PUEBLO LEDGER.
Most of the time I got the subscrip-
ton when asked for it sometimes two,
one for the man himself and one for the
bank. Some subscriptions came from

Some Young men, 1921 models, may

traffic in the subway crowding around
tbe chewing gum stand mirrors, but
there's this to be said for them:
While Suzette and Mary are standing
ot the perfume counter waiting for
their change they're hot footing to the

tbe usual and not the unusual thing to
baer them inquire "Say. where's there

Tbe truth Is young men save their
money regularly The young woman
IN business life, as rule, does not. She
huys clothes, face powder and sundry
other things handed over counters in
exchange for pin money. In fact, she
frequently regards her salary as pin
money.
Girls do save sometimes, but there's
usually a reason and the saving is op-
timistic. Sometimes it's a vacation,
other times it's fur coat At any rate,
II is seldom for future financial stabil-
ity the business girl strives when she
makes her way up to the receiving

It is Robert L. Morgan, assistant

encies toward thrift of young men and
young women in business,
Men Are Far I'm Lead
At the same time figures given BY
Samuel Woodward, secretary and treas
urer of the Philadelphia Saving Fund
Society, from the annual report for
1920 showed 65S6 employed women to
have opened accounts during the year
against 20, ,479 employed men who had
opened them.
In digesting these figures it must be
remembered that greater proportion
Of men than women are employed. The
women represented were wage earners
professional women, domestic servants
and salaried employees. Nine hundred
and sixty seven domestic servants
opened accounts, 800 professional
women and only thirty eight business
az women not employed 4149 wives
NJ wage earners and 1868 wives of sal
aried employees opened bank accounts.
In all. including minors and those with

Ing, would say that young men save
more than young women do. They are
what you might term the builders of
staple permanent accounts, while the
young woman's saving is irregular !;
that is to say for some special pur-
poses. She has a vacation in mind or
new summer outfit or something of that
sort.
IT have found, for instance, that
young women are not interested as a
rule IN taking out building and loan
shares. II is very hard to get them
to take out life insurance. With a
young man It's different"
Mr.. Morgan believes there are very
definite reasons why the young girl Of
today is not by nature saver.
Zone almost hesitate to mention"
he said. "because it is go threadbare,
but nevertheless it still holds good. Girls
naturally look forward to getting mar
ried. It takes from them the motive for
systematic saving, for while the young
man must plan for the day when he
must make a home for somebody else,
the young woman can look forward to
the time when some one else will be
making the home for her.
The fact that many girls who work
do not have to do so was also advanced
as reason for prodigality with the pay
envelope. This type of worker, the
bank official pointed out. was anxious
to make "pin money" and spent her
salary as such.
Another reason that the young
women are less apt to take the future
seriously than young men is that she
feels she has less chance to get to the
top. She is inclined to reason 1t out
that girls seldom become officials, and
to let it 60 at that. Her position be-
comes more or less of temporary af-
fair In her mind, and she is content to
have 1t that way"

Song, but the offspring vas odd in

opment. The colts back drooped in a
curve something like that of a suspen-

when seen by horsemen. Mcdonald saw

readily agreed.
That pup was Silver, named after the

On the day Of big race Silver can
sense its approach. He is on edge. He
keeps q constant vigil at the stalls of
his master. Only those who have busi-
ness there dare approach. Any who
come within the barriers are told to get
out--and the language that Silver uses
is an angry growl and a set of business

why vaccination was necessary when
