Keeping Memorial Day Sacred.

"The American Legion should be supported
in its attempt to have Memorial day set apart
for its intended use, day when the nation can
lay aside the routine tasks to honor the memory
of those who died that their survivors might en-
joy the benefitsof free government in united
land" says thef Indianapolis Star Americans
are not Indifferent to the debt they owe those
who have stacked arms for that eternal bivouac,
but they are often thoughtless in the nervous
hunt for amusement. While the remnant of that
host which wore the blue in the days of 81 to '65
gathers to place flowers on the graves of depart
ed comrades, the major portion of the popula-
ton scurries off to some sporting event, Indian
apolis and surrounding cities turning out largely
to the automobile races at the Speedway
''The grandsons of those civil war veterans

If YOU combined the curative proper
ties of every known 'ready-made" cough
remedy. YOU probably could not get as
much real curative power as there is in
this simple homemade cough syrup,
which is easily prepared IN few
minutes.
Get from any druggist 215 ounces of
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and
fill the bottle with syrup, using either
plain granulated sugar syrup, clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as de-
sired. The result is a full pint OF
really better cough syrup than YOU could
buy ready-made for three times the
money. Tastes pleasant and never
spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation gets
right at the cause of a cough and gives
almost immediate relief. 1t loosens the
phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle
and heals the sore, irritated membranes
so gently and easily that it is really
astonishing.
A days use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough and for bronchitis, Group,
hoarseness and bronchial asthma there
is nothing better.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine eX-
tract, and has been used for generations
to break up severe coughs.

druggist for 90 u ounces of Pinex" with
full directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give absolute

scant success. The legion at its annual conven-
ton at New Orleans. adopted resolution deplor-
ing the tendency to use Memorial day as day of
pleasure and urging upon the people of the
United States the observance of the occasion in
the manner and spirit for which it was insti-
tuted. The state department, which the coop
Grafton of the Indianapolis Chamber of Com
merce, is endeavoring to curb the undue en-
phasis placed upon professional sports, particu-
larly the Speedway race.
Every citizen appreciates the extent to
which this event has contributed to the city's
fame throughout the automobile world and looks
forward to the occasion which brings race en-
thusiasts here from all parts of the country. 1t
has been demonstrated that the financial success
of this automobile classic does not depend upon
a holiday, but that the same throngs will pour
through the turnstiles on a Saturday. For this
reason the Speedway management should gladly
cooperate in the movement to make Memorial
day sacred alone to the nations departed heroes.
1t would be more fitting if the annual observance
were held on Sunday, for the patriotism which
seeks expression on Memorial day is of that
exalted, ennobling character which is akin to
religion So long as May 80 is set apart, how
ever, it should be kept free from noisy distrac-
lions. It is not asking too much to turn for one
day of the year to reverent contemplation Of our
heroic dead and in that spirit to place flowers on
the graves of those patriots who fought and died
! that this nation and others might be preserved.

their enterprise is the intangible thing
called in business good will" Busi-
ness experience has taught that this
good will is worth more than a spien-
did bank building
Several of the larger banks have es-
tablished whole series of books which
gradually will be built into substantial
libraries. Such institutions issue all
their books in uniform bindings and
cover designs. The series of the Bank
ers Trust Company of New York is
typical. A recent volume of the Bank
ers Trust series is a 3G0-page book en-
titled French Public Finance in the
Great War and Today. This work
traces the early beginnings of organ
| lied French public finance. 1t has
an interesting chapter on the finances
of Napoleon's wars. Tracing the
French debt and financial operations
through the European war, it gives an
analysis of the existing situation A
similar work is entitled English Pub
lie Finance from the Revolution of
1888 The story Of the Bank Of Eng
land, as well as many other important
chapters in British national finance, is
told in this volume.
Among other Bankers Trust books
are Our Public Debt, which traces the
American finances from Alexander
Hamilton's time down to date; the Do
minioh of Canada which fully de-
scribes the resources of that part of
the world, and America Merchant Ma
rine, history of the development of
American merchant power on the seas.
Apparently the great banks do not
stop at expense. Many Of their books.
even when intended for free distribu-
ton, are published in fashion as de
luxe as that employed at the most fas-
tidious commercial publishers.
Indeed, objections recently have
been recorded by commercial publish
| ing houses against what they regard as
the unfair competition of the banks
They assert that for banks to publish
| at their own expense fine books
which are given away hurts the legiti-
mate business of publishers who must

BANKS as PubI1SherS
Many Financial Institutions Put Out Worth While Books
Many Interesting Subjects

this winter is distributing a book on
the markets of the world to its favored
customers which would, in all proba-
bility, bring a price of So or 81 in a
book store.
The war was largely responsible for
the entrance of the American banks
into the book publishing business. The
war increased the habit of reading
among the American people. The fact
that there was so much of importance
to read, if one was to keep up with a
rapidly changing world had much to
DO with this so far as the people left
at home were concerned AS for the
soldiers, the activities of such bodies
as the American Library association,
the Y. NJ. c. A. and other societies
which did welfare work, increased
their reading. Hundreds Of thousands
of young men who previously had not
had time or inclination for reading,
found themselves frequently immured
in cantonments, rest camps or billets
where time hung heavy. The welfare
/ societies placed books at their dis
posal and many turned to reading who
never had read much before. Some
even learned to read in these camps
/ When these men returned, a liberal
proportion of them retained the read
/ ing habit with the result that the
American people are readers now as
never before.
/ This gave the banks an opportunity
to present their story whenever they
! had a story to present which would be
/ helpful to customers or prospective
customers. They capitalized the in
/ creased habit of reading to get people
to read about business affairs The
/ benefit to the banks from such pol
icy is indirect but the banks have
felt that the effort and expenses is
worth making Certainly the entrance
of the banks into the book publishing
business has added substantially to the
Libraries of the country and to the in
formation of the citizens.
The educational factor in this pub.
LEGATION business is not inconsiderable
For instance, group of American
banks published a book giving accurate
digests of the German and Austrian
/ peace treaties as soon as those his.
toric documents were made available
Thousands of citizens probably never
would have come into possession OF
full reviews of the treaty provisions
had this book not been published
Similarly, a group of banks published
a book embodying the more important
statistics of the Fourteenth Census OF
i the United States some months before
the government issued the statistics
in book form. Such enterprises were
expensive and brought no direct return
to the publishing banks.

SERVICE

When first bought a chugmobile-
twas in the misty long ago-the deal
er made an ardent spiel of service that
he would bestow; and so l grasped
the steering wheel and pushed the
tumbril to and fro In those dark
days our motor cars were~ needing
service all the time; the works were
full of squeaks and jars, and every
piston was a crime, and l would break
some rods or bars whene'er a hill
tried to climb And Y z. Sphinx, the
man who said he'd give me service
good as wheat, would start my motor
when twas dead, and make its pulses
strongly beat; he often left his
downy bed to make my bus go up
the street. The years have gone, and
Y. u. Sphinx does business at the an
cient stand, and I have sent to him, l
think, some fifty men with coin in
hand, who wished to buy cheap cars
of zinc, or boats more sumptuous and
grand. / say to them, This delegate
will promise service when you buy
and all he says is good and straight;
/ like George, he cannot tell a lie;
/ this makes hit with every skate who
has been fooled by some false guy
That merchant ornaments his town
who makes his talk of service good
he gains fine and high renown far
far outside his neighborhood; and
there are diamonds in his crown thai
! glitter as such jewels should.

BY FREDERICK J. HAsKIN

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 26.-The
ranks of book publishers in the United
States have been greatly augmented in
the last few years by the banks. A
bank may not appear to be logical
book publisher, but the managers of
such institutions have come to the con-
clusion that they can keep themselves
and their business facilities in the
minds of the public by the publication
of books and so have not let the seem
ing incongruity of the practice stand
in the way.
To be sure. banks do not publish
novels and books of that character,
but sometimes they do not fall much
short of such popular publications.
instance, the Old Colony Trust com
Ipany of Boston recently published an
interesting history of the landing OF
the Pilgrims and the early settlements
Of Massachusetts. A hundred thou.
sand copies of this book were distrib
uted The Mercantile Trust company
of San Francisco is publishing serially
in its monthly magazine, history OF
trade and commerce and development
of the Pacific coast from the earliest
times to the present. Doubtless this
will be issued in book form when the
serial publication is completed, as II
the case of novels published in install
ments. To cite an even more unusual
case, the Continental and Commercial
Bank of Chicago not long ago pub
lished a book of nursery rhpmes, pro
fusely Illustrated in color.
As a rule the books published by
banks relate more especially to sub
! iects with banking or with business
activities having to do directly or in
directly with banking.
Many banks publish books in The
| form of manuals on Federal taxation
/ Such books interpret the income tai
laws in a manner which will make The
filing of returns and the paying o
/ taxes easier for persons not expert II
such work. These books, in the hand:
\ of the depositors and customers o
/ the bank, assist materially in the diff
ficult task of making tax returns ant
| the intended result is that the person
| receiving such assistance will have ;
good word to say for the bank from
which he obtained his book.
Books Are
Given Away
Books published by banks almost in
variably are given away. Many banks
give their books away broadcast; 9th
ers are more particular and give then
only to fvored customers. In practical
ly no case does bank make an.
charge for a book, despite the fact tina
the volume would cost the customer
from 81 to s. if purchased at bool
\ store.
