Mrs. Kathryn Wenzell, of "The
Storch," always alive to the pleasure
of her guests, gave a party on Thurs
day, August 4, 1921, to celebrate the
birthday of little Albert Picard, of
Pittsburg. The little guests had a
most delightful time with Miss Louise
Johnson, of Philadelphia, as %chaperon.
The little birthday cake with its three
candles was the center of attraction
while they enjoyed the ice cream and
the favors filled them with delight.
The whole affair was keenly enjoyed
by the older guests as well, as "The
Storch" is full to overlooking. The
following little ones were the guests
of honor: Albert and Jeanne Picard,
of Pittsburgh; Jeanne Evers, of Scran-
ton, and Phyllis Mueller, Harvey
Hansberry, Nellie Jenkins, Mary Nc
Coy and Erwin and Jack Dunlap, Of
Philadelphia. v

The only bird for which it might be

The Sock Bank.--The postal savings
banks are out for the money hidden
away in various crude, old-time
caches-such as the decrepit teapot,
the mattress and the stockingend
Great wealth awaits the successful
profiteers in these rich unworked
lodes. The first French effort under
Ferdinand de LeSseps to dig the Pan
anna Canal was financed largely by
funds secreted in those ways among
the peasants. Parts of the western
shore of Newfoundland Is still called
the Gold Coast becaugc of treasure
earth bound in cans, inferred by those
who lost confidence in banks after two
disasterous failures at st. Johns.
Every such collapse means n further
withdrawal of timorous investors and
depositors, many of them aliens, who
for years ere they came here carried
all their worldly goods about with
them where they wandered.
Part of the work of AmcricaniZa-
tion rightly may he to engender in the
now arrival n warranted confidence in
the fiscal solvency of banking institu-
tions. The postal savings bank pays
a low rate of interest. But any rate
of interest is more than the cracked
sugar bowl or the threadbare stockings

turns. 1t is the Scriptural story of the
buried talent over again.-Philadcl-

he swallowed them a second time and
put them nicely away into a second

While he was doing this, he heard

Girls and women with sallow skins,

hot water and limestone phosphate act

Just the moment you apply
Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burn

stops and healing begins, says q

preparation, made into a pleasant

Because of its germ destroying pro
