Helgoland, born under the British
flag, declare to be highly offensive
and in viols ton of many of the
terms of agreement under which

to correct what they declare to be

Versailles treaty.

were much encourage by the report
of Chief Engineer Savers OF the

The director, shocked, looked at

CHAIRMAN WILLS
DISCUSSES PLANS
Of FEDERAL BANK

o MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 23.-
Super-system, titles that cause heart
( burn and overdone statistics were
gently castigated here today by D.
c. Wills, chairman of the board OF
the Federal Reserve bank, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, in a practical business
talk to future bank executives. The
occasion was the annual convention
Of the American Institute of Banking.
"Going through the motions Of do
ing business without really getting
down to business" was the theme the
Cleveland banker expounded. He
summed it up in the title Of his ad-
dress, knowledge VS.. WISDOM" and
here are some of the bits of bust
ness wisdom ne gave the young
bankers.
Full credit must be given to or
ganiZation and machinery, since or
der is heavens first law: what l
want to get across is a kick against
the pyramiding of system that final
ly leads to bureaucracy: L do not
think it is the duty Of the public
to conduct a continuous AUDIT OF
concern with which it trades.
Frequently in a bank organiza-
ton the question of titles receives
more consideration than it deserves,
prir cipally because Super-SyStem mas
created so many wheels within wheels
and so many cogs in the wheels that
the ordinary vocabulary of bank
titles doesn't suffice. Frequently
titles cause a lot of heart burning
in an organization simply because
of vanity and false pride.
my observation and Judgment
convince me that one can function
under any title and that we will do
well if we pay less attention to-
titles, lest in our zeal to create and
exalt titles we put the emphasis
where it does not belong. 1t is not
a question of what your position is.
The question is: What are you,
yourself, doing in it and with it?'
LAS to statistics, accurate data
intelligently arranged is so far ahead
Of lunches, guess work, general re-
suits, and rule of thumb, that 1t is
as electricity to candle light. Never
theless. it's use can be overdone and
is being overdone. Charts and barom-
eters are fine, but there are two
subjects that cannot be charted: they
are Almighty God and human nature,
and both cut quite a figure. Also
it should be remarked that IL IS d
person of rare qualifications that
can analyZe and make proper oeouc-
lions from statistics.
cit is my judgment that lot OF
US are getting our trousers snlny
sitting at our desks porting over sta
tistics, department reports, ETC., who

vantage learning the people in our

AMERICA DOES NOT
AWE POLAR GIRL

SEATTLE, Wash.-Suppose you
suddenly awakened in the world as
it probably will be thousand years
from now-what would interest you
most. how would you act and what
would you do?
This, practically, is what happen
ed to 12-year-old Camilla Carpenter,
ward of Captain Road Amundsen,
when the famous polar explorer
brought her from the icy fringe of
the northland for her first glimpse
of modern life on the earth's mid
die belt.
In the first place she turned up her
pretty nose at ice cream, even
though the weather was sizzling.
She appeared to marvel not at all
at the strange scurrying things on
wheels.
Samples Novelties
Milk, an unaccustomed food, she
slipped hesitatingly, and restaurant
meals revolted a palate accustomed
to reindeer meat and fish.
Her first American dresses, a
strange combination of her own Sc
lection, irked the maid used to the
soft loose skins of northern deer.
A mirror was strange superflu-
ity, while the powder and rouge of
the modern girl were entirely beyond
her comprehension.
She licked the salt from sailed pea
nuts and threw the nut away.
What she doesn't understand, she
accepts as matter Of course in a
land where marvels are the common
place. On the other hand, anything
that approXimates what she's used
to, is greeted gIeefully-like meet
ing an old friend in a strange place.
A bowl of goldfish sent her into
ecstacies during her first sight-see-
ing trip in Seattle.
Going to School
Camilla, daughter of an Austria
liam trader and a native mother of
East Cape, Siberia, is to be the ward
of Captain AmundSen for the next
five years. Together with Cakonita,
Tschuktschi tribe, adopted by Amund-
sen, she was brought from the far
north by the explorer upon return
from his recent Arctic venture.
Boht girls will be sent to school
in Norway, with Captain Amundsen's
people, in a climate approXlmat1ng
They fairly worship their guardian,
whom they affectiOnately call
Grandpa" and tag about after him
everywhere.
Speaking no English, reticent in a
strange world and without any play
fellows, the Siberian girls are about
as lonely as you would be if sud-
denly transrlanted to their former
home on bleak East Cape.
But they're fine girls, and they
will get along" says Grandpa"
Amundsen, reassuringly, when the
girls ask questions with their timid
brown eyes.

Members of the committee believe
that for an outlay of less than $50
every American farmer can purchase

WIDOWS RUNDOWN
HUSBANDS SLAYERS

CLEVELAND-Thre women have
put at least a temporary end to
Cleveland's unprecedented crime
wave.
They did it by teaching Grimm
ais that punishment in Cleveland
could be severe-and sure.
The certainty Of punishment is
demonstrated by an 8,000-mile chase
from which police have just re
turned with two murder suspects
an international chase with all
the thrills of fiction detective

The severity Of punishment is
demonstrated by the death sentences
that have been handed down in re-

Women in the Case
The three women who have &C
complished these things are:
Miss Florence Allen, common
pleas judge.
Mrs. W. C. Sly, widow Of the
president of a manufacturing con-
Germ, killed by highwaymen. $
Mrs. G. K. Fannen. widow of
the superintendent Of the same
plant, murdered at the same time.
The widows inspired the relentless
hunt; the judge meted out the first
death sentence.
Tanner, carrying the $4,000 payroll
of their plant, were stopped by five
auto bandits. When they resisted
robbery, both were shot, the holdup
men escaping.
Widows of the two men interested

officials took an active part with
police, financing the hunt.
Witnesses said one of the bandits

Motto, who had been arrested for
auto stealing and later released.

CA| 0A'E:L TODAY,
SICK TOMORROW
Dose of nasty CaIomeI makes
you sick and you lose
a days work

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nau-
sea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out. just
go to your, druggist and get a bottle
Of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a
harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without
making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while If
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe
to give to children; they like it.

NEW YORK, July 23-Undertak-

Hereafter all arrangements for
supplying a firing squad at the burial
of a soldier must be made by the rel
atives directly with the fort, instead
of by undertakerS.
Discharges under the recent order

so decreased the enlisted strength

brought home FROM France.
