WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. w
Va, May 10.-Hundreds of millions of
dollars needed in the usual channels of
trade, will be tied up for three years if
the house soldier bonus bill becomes eff
fective, said Thomas b. McAdams pres
ident of the American Bankers associ
alton, speaking here today before the ex-
ecutive council of the association.
The bill which has passed the house.
Mr. McAdams said, places upon the
banks the burden of financing such cash
advances as may be received by the in
diyidual soldier.
While the banks are not obligated to
discount the soldiers note secured by
his participation certificate" he said
yet failure to do so will unquestionably
submit the individual institution to a
charge of being unwilling 10 cooperate
with the government and the soldier. On
the other hand, if these advances are
made, many of them will have to be
carried as past due for q period of three

Not Light Matter.
We cannot lightly consider increas-
| ing the debt of our people over five
, times the amount of the total Indebted
| ness of the government prior to the
war; he continued, "and congress has
no right to put the tremendous burden
, of from SJ.000.000,000 to $4,000, 100000
! upon our people without at the same
! time making specific provision for the
! retirement of the obligation.
/ If, however, this be a burden which
| should properly be assumed by the
! American people, then we should as
/ loyal Americans meet the issue at this
| time and raise, through a definite form
| of taxation, sufficient sums of money tC
provide for the payment of the Obliga

/ Protection from Criminals.
| Mr. McAdams also outlined the work
! which is being done by banks to protect
! themselves against criminals This, hi
said, consists largely of educating the
| banker himself, so that through contrib
utory negligence he viii not make il
easy for frauds to be perpetrated.
The policy of the federal reserve sys
TEN during the period of nationwide
price deflation was heartily endorsed by
Mr. McAdams. The declines were de

eral reserve system. he said, and were
due to abnormal demands, speculation
and extravaganza. rather than to any
deficiency or inelasticity in the circulat

PHILADELPHIA, May 10-Today
is the 127th anniversary of the conven-
ing here of the second continental con-
gress, which unanimously elected George
Washington commander-in-chief of all
the armies raised or to be raised for
the defense of American liberty The
session was also marked by the passage
of petition to King George Ill, the
rejection of which is said to have opened
the way for acquiescence to the declara-
ton of independence, inasmuch as no
choice was left to the colonists but sub
mission or resistance.
The election of Washington as COM

Johnson of Maryland and urged by
John Adams of Massachusetts. Wash
ington, himself, was a delegate to this
congress.
The petition to the king was carried
| by John Jay of New York against
strong opposition.

KEEPING THE
BODY FIT
BY Brice Belden. NJ. D.

Fl one selects the food that
one eats merely Npon the
Il basis Of its appeal to the
sense Of taste. 1t is quite possible
to go wrong with respect to nu-
tritional requirements.
One needs to know what the
fundamental requirements of the
body are. after which he may
safely indulge his fancies.
The most important fundamen.
tails regarding food may be stated
as follows:
First, salads should be eaten
daily. This will insure the regu-
lar consumption Of some raw
fruit. raw cabbage, raw celery.
tomatoes and lettuce. The con.
sumption Of such foods provides
an abundance Of vitamines, In
which our regular diet Of cooked
foods is likely to be lacking.
Second. a liberal helping should
be taken every day Of some food
classed as greens, or leafy vege-
tables. These possess dietary
properties which make them
unique among vegetable foods.
Third, q quart Of milk should
be taken every day, or Its equiv
alent in the form Of manufac-
tured dairy products.
By living up to these funda-
mental rules one will insure the
consumption of sufficient
amount of protective foods, and
then the remainder of the diet
may be selected entirely on the
basis Of its appeal to the sense
of taste. The food supply as Z
whole will then be such as to
promote nutrition and health.
When diet such as this Ia ad.
hered to, there' will be q great
abundance OF the protective vita
mines in each days food supply.
OF course, the vitamines have
been commercialized, but prepa-
rations alleged to contain them
cannot be compared for a mo.
hnent with wholesome vitamine-
containing food materials.
BY insuring good nutrition one
fortifies himself against q host
Of diseases and builds an efficient
physique.

when Mary. whose face was hid.

from the midst of her tears and
sobs, I burst into a laugh that
was like to have spoiled every.
thing.
Henry turned quickly upon me.
and I tried to cover 1t by pre-
tending that I was sobbins. VOL.

corner of his gown to his eyes,
when Henry. seeing US all so af.

and swell with indignation.
He put Mary away from him.

room exclaimed. in a voice that
all could hear. THE dog! the

words failed him. But see how
he kept his oath. and see how
he and Francis hobnobbed not
long afterward at the Field Of the
Cloth Of Gold.
Henry came back to Mary and
began to question her, when she
repeated the story for him.
Then 1t was she told Of my time
ly arrival. and how, in order
to escape and protect herself
from Francis. she had been com.

struction of the tiny homes, but
were under supervision Of the
department Of industrial art. The
carpentry. painting and plumbing
were done by the boys. while the
girls attended to the furnishings
and decoration.
In each Of the bungalow
showing different styles-there
were five rooms constructed on
q true reduced scale and appoint
ed in all respects as II they were
dwellings of the usual size. There
were living room, dining room,

bine artistic and mechanical skill
in the production Of the practical.
These dwellings, for example, were
merely the actual reduced to q
small scale. Even the tiny win.
dows, the curtains and vanishing
were as carefully placed as any
architectural skill would require.
One charming aspect Of the In.
dustrial art program. as here SO
well illustrated, is the combina-
ton, the work Of the hand and
the mind with q period Of real en-
joyment. The details of construc-
ton and finishing Of the minia-
ture house proved to be highly
creative laboratory exercises.
The development of plans ane
specifications, the placing of the
furniture, decorations within and
without were the occasion 81

forgot they were in school while
they were engrossed In some Of
the common interests OF society.
One project at q time. super.

be applied to all our public
schools--would do more to take
the kinks Of immortality out Of

Not merely bungalows, but

be made to entice the mind of the
