One Important Guy

Besides being rather wild youth, Sam Smithers was exceedingly ego tistical. A couple of days after he returned from overseas he strolled in- to grocery store where the prohibi- tion amendment was under discussion.
 "How about it, Sam?" asked a friend. Are you peeved because they made the country dry while you were gone?"
 Sam drew himself up proudly and gazed at the group of loafers. "Peeved, nothing!" he calculated ''Im proud of it. Why, they had to amend the Constitution of the United States of America to reform me, and they knew it had to be done when wasn't here to prevent it."

Mr.. Coles interesting observation.
From my study of the handwriting

vanity and the desire to deceive have
great deal to do with the cultivation
of certain type of very fine penman-

freely, legibly and speedily, but the
man with the makings of crook in
him has the ideal of showing off his
cleverness, winning admiration, and

located is also an important consid-

good deal of money has been lost on
people associated with musical come

musical comedy-probably its gay,

way to easy embezzlement.
1t is also interesting to note that in

west, particularly in Texas and Okla

(and losD in night, there is much
more embeZZlement than in the north

embezzlers. Some day. perhaps, the

Sure Way To Get
Rid OF Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring,
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy evry single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
iustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Advertisem

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 24.-If you
want to make favorable impression
upon bonding company, be fat, pro-
fame. married, and have bad penman,
ship. All of these characteristics, us
ually looked upon as handicaps by the
general public, are regarded as highly
desirable by the big New York bonding
companies which underwrite thous-
ands OF embezZlement risks every
year.
1t Is estimated that the large total
OF 500, 100000 is annually embezzled
In this country. The total number of
known embeZzlers whose defalcations
are discovered is arou>d $4,000. These
startling figures explain why the
bonding companies have found it ne
cessary to make an elaborate study OF
character, environment and psychol
ogy in underwriting embeZZlement
risks. After many years of such study
and experience, they have been able
definitely to label some human traits
good risks and others bad.
According to William B. Joyce, presi.
dent of the National Surety company
OF this city, the man who cusses a LOT
is a good risk not because he is pro
fame, but because he is essentially hui
man. His mind" says Mr.. Joyce
has safety valve through which he
pours his excess emotions. He is fan
safer than the quiet, suppressed indi
yidual who STILES his natural i'm
pulses"
Mr.. Joyce has been studying the
characteristics of embezzlers for more
than 20 years, during which time he
has formulated the following guides
for underwriters:
1T is always the trusted employee
who gets away with the most money
There is no age at which embezzle
ment ceases.
Young and uniformed characters are
the chief offenders.
Margin speculation leads to more
embezzlement than cards or dice; bet
ting on the ponies ranks a close sec
ond
"Ex-convicts are the poorest risks o.
all.
Since prohibition, many embezzle
ments have been caused by the high
cost of bootleg liquor"
Fat people are considered bette
risks than lean ones, because thu
obese are On the whole more placid
and content with their lot, and les!
inclined to morbid recklessness. Mar
| ried risks are preferred to single risks
as tame horses are preferred to wilC
ones. Cranks of every kind, moreover
are readily accepted by the surety
companies for the same reason tina

work in the vicinity No other bank
or business firm would employ him,
and he was compelled to do manual
labor.
Ten years later the bank decided
to remodel its interior. Behind
loose panel in the wall of the teller's
cage the missing $1,000 bills were
found. 1t was the teller's opportunity
for righteous retribution, and he took
advantage of it. Having lost his job
and reputation through the dilapidated
condition of the banks interior, he
brought suit for defamation of char
acter and received great deal more
than the missing four thousand dol
lars. Thus, as Mr.. D. w. Griffith
would say, was manly virtue rewarded.
For movie comedy material there is
the case of young clerk, also IN a
middle western bank, who was dis
patched to the railroad station with
$500 requested by wealthy deposit
tor who was passing through the town.
1t was a breezy March dav and as the
clerk waited for the tro n he strobe
briskly up and down the platform,
whistling and tossing the bills into the
air. Suddenly they were caught in
the wind and swept down the railroad
track. A hog foraging hungrily along
the track shifted the money and swal-
lowed it. The poor clerk went in
search of the man who owned the
hog and bought it. Then he had it
butchered, hoping that its stomach
would contain fragments of the money
that would be redeemable at the treas
ury department But the hog had
masticated too efficiently. The $500
was ruined, and the surety company
| had to make good the banks loss.

ty company?
One day a young teller in small
middle western bank missed four
$1,000 bills from his cage. He search
ed all over the place, took everything
out of the safe, checked and recheck-
ed his figures, but the four thousand
dollars had completely disappeared.
After worrying about the matter for a
couple of days, he went to the presi-
dent of the bank and told him of the
loss, asking for little time in which
to find the missing money.
The president scoffed Indignantly
at the young mans story and remind
ed him that when four thousand dol
lars vanished into the air, the loss
could usually be explained. Either
you will make it good" said the presi-
dent, ''or you will go to the peniten-
tiary,"
This terrible threat was not carried
out, however. The teller was merely
discharged, but the stain on his char
acter made it difficult for him to get

How teeth are ruined

That film is now known as the cause
of most tooth troubles. It is the basis
of tartar. 1t holds food substance which
ferments and forms acid. 1t holds the
acid in contact with the teeth to cause
decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Also of many other troubles,
local and internal.

The film discolors

Your teeth are coated with viscous
film. You can feel it with your tongue.
1t is ever present, overcoming. 1t
clings to teeth, enters crevices and
stays.
The ordinary tooth paste does not
end that film. The tooth brush, used in
old ways, leaves much of it intact. So
very few have escaped the damage
which that film creates.
That filn-coat absorbs stains, max
ing the teeth look dingy. Countless
facial attractions are marred in that
way. Combat that film for little while
and see how your teeth improve.

Two effective methods

Two effective methods have been
found. Many careful tests have proved
them. They have been combined in a
dentifrice called Pepsodent.
Millions of people who have tried it
now employ it daily. Leading dentists
everywhere advise its use. In almost
every circle, glistening teeth show its
visible results.
Every home is welcome to ten-day
test. Make it and watch the effects.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-10-24

There is way to keep teeth whittier,
cleaner, safer. Millions now employ it.
The glistening teeth you see every
where now largely result from this
method.
This is to explain that method. To
tell you why authorities advise it. Then
to offer you ten-day test and urge that
you accept it.

Other desired results

Pepsodent brings other effects which
authorities desire.
1t nultiplies the salivary flow. That is
Natures great tooth-protecting agent.
1t nultiplies the starch digestant in
the saliva. That is Natures agent for
digesting starch deposits which may
otherwise form acids.
It multiplies the alkalinity of the sa-
Iva. That is Natures factor for neu-
tralizing acids which cause tooth decay.
These results come from every ap-
pllcation. They last for some time And
they give Nature rnuch-needed aid in
combating the possible effect of modern
starchy diet on teeth.
Tooth pastes based on soap and chalk
have the opposite effect. Modern au-
