BANK ACCOUNT FOR BABY
Recommended as the Surest Founda-
ton That Can BE Laid for
Happy Future.

What are you doing for your baby's
future happiness?
Have you thought of opening bank
account for your baby?
These are questions that should be
given thought by every parent, writes
Cecilia Anthony in Thrift Magazine.
Many newly born babes are pre-
Sented with gifts in the form of money.
Why not start an account for the baby
with this money and watch it grow
by making regular weekly contribu-
tions, instead of using the money to
buy clothes or some other articles?
The weekly deposit of 81 at 4 per
cent interest for ten years will amount
to $638.04; in fifteen years, $1,075.75,
and in twenty years, $1,601.86. If a
deposit Of So is made regularly every
week for ten years the child will have
in its favor the sum of $1,914; in fif-
teen years the amount will be $3,227.25
and in twenty years $5.378.75.
OF course, as the child grows older
he or she will save the pennies, nickels
and dimes, and help toward the regular
weekly deposit, which will lessen the
drain on the parents pocketbook. In
time to come the child will be the sole
depOsitOr,

SAYS LITTLE BUT DOES MUCH
Clerk of British House of Commons
Is . Silent Though Highly
Important Official.

The clerk Of the British house of
commons is appointed by the prime
minister with a salary of $4,000 a
year. This is much bigger salary
than he received in the Eighteenth
century In those days he lived chief
~ on fees and presents from members
of parliament.
The clerk sits at the upper end Of
the table of the house, and wears a
wig and gown. He has the custody of
records, signs certain addresses and
orders, and reads various documents
in the house. He controls the staff of
the house, and is responsible for many
details in the management Of bust
ness.
In addition, he is the speakers
principal adviser, and that is why even
now speakers seldom make mistakes
He is the great authority on proce-
dure and on all the complicated rules
Of the house.
This official is usually silent and
unobtrusive. The exception occurs
when new speaker Is elected.
His position has been described as
''the highest and most important Of
fetal post In the house, and one of
rhe most respected in the civil service;
its occupancy has long been person

GAMBLING is RAMPANT
Germany in Throes of Wild Orgy
of Speculation.
Government Is Making Efforts to Halt
the Fever, Which Has Spread to
All Parts of the Country
Stakes Are High.

Berlin. - The government is try
ing to halt gambling fever which has
swept Germany for many months and
which authorities say continues to
spread despite hundreds of arrests,
the contiscation of millions Of marks,
sentencing of scores of persons to Jail
and the imposition of heavy fines.
Close upon the heels of the gambling
and speculation mania which appeared
among the people of all classes came
horde of stOck-mal'keI manipulatOrS,
racetrack touts, bucket shop proprie-
tors and organizers of get-rich-quick
betting associations, who, starting
with small sums, subscribed by work
ing men and women, shortly were able
to open luxurious gambling houses.
At least dozen such establish
ments operating in Berlin, Hamburg,
Dresden and smaller provincial towns
have been raided and closed by the
police.
Sums as high as 100000 marks
have been found and confiscated by
the police in gambling houses which
apparently were catering only to the
smaller gamblers. The proprietors
have been held on charges of fraud.
The horse racing season, which has
been unusually successful, offered the
crooked gamblers and promoters a
chance which they promptly took adj
vantage of, and it is known billions of
marks were wagered on alleged tips.
Some of these promoters became wide
ly known as reliable ''informants" and
made so much money for their Glen
tele that they became popular idols.

Happy Butterflies.

Upon meeting one of their own
species, the tiger swallowtail butter
flies will execute a kind of aerial
waltz as they fit above, below and
around each other in their play on the
wing.
Coming out into the open fields,
their giddy flight leads them here and
there in varied course as they visit
the flowertops of thistles, golden rod
and other attractive plants.
Growing thirsty, down they come to
some low, flat bank OF a sluggish
stream, attracted by the presence OF
others Of their kind, and sip away to
their hearts content, pausing only now
and then for brief frolic in the sun
light with some other big black and
yellow vagabond of their own sort
with no more in it's bit of a brain to
worry it.-American Forestry Maya

BY the trade routes that pass

UNcovERS CITY OF $500 3. C.
Pennsylvania Scientist Reports on Elk

Philadelphia Of the an

Palestine, dating back as far as $500
B. c., have been uncovered by DIR.
Clarence S. Fishers research party,
according to a letter received from him
by the University museum here.
Already several important dis
coveries have been made dating back
to the time when the Semites are
supposed to have entered Palestine,
about $500 B. c., and it is believed
that remains of an even earlier period
will be located.

The word "gormand' is too FIRE.
quently confused with gourmet" OF
exactly opposite meaning. A gormand
is defined in the dictionaries as
"glutton, a greedy person'-that is to
say, a person of Industrious but undis-

The word gourmet on the other
hand, is defined as ian epicure;
dainty feeder a connoisseur in wines
or meats a man of keen palate

Should Not Walk Too soon.

A fiat foot--that is, a foot almost
without any instep-is not only de.
formity. but It engenders an awkward
walk. Sometimes. also. the foot leans
more to the outer side or more to the
inner side. Both these defects are
generally caused by trying to make
children walk too soon. Children
should not be encouraged TO walk until
the bones of their little feet are strong
enought to support the weight of their
body.
