STATES VIEW ON
RAIL PAVING COST
Taylor Croninger Tells Fedora
ton Clubs Company Should
Bear Expense.

''It IS inequitable and unjust for
the abutting property owners to pay
the cost OF paving between street car
tracks and the street car company
should be forced to pay" Taylor E
Groninger. city corporation counsel.
at a meeting Of the Indianapolis Fede-
ration of Civic Community Clubs at
the Chamber Of Commerce last night.
declared
Groninger announced he would file
within few days a petition with the
public service commission asking for
q reopening of the Gale st. case, IN
which the public service commission
overruled an order OF the board OF
public works requiring the street car
company TO pave between the tracks
hon Gale St.
He also asserted that Washington
st. had not been resurfaced but re-
paired and the cost for the same paid
from the city general fund and not
assessed against the abutting prop
erty owners.
Members of the federation were op-
posed to such a program and called
attention to the fact that Capitol Ave
had been repaired ia such a manner
and the cost had been assessed against
che abutting property owners.

$slderable interest and misundersLand-
ing on the part of the public at large.
I have heard this sort OF statement
made so often by friends and custom
ers that I am borrowing, rather lib
orally from an advertisement recently
published by a Minneapolis bank.
which answered that question logi-
Cally and interestingly.
The following narrative viii make
clear TO the readers what usually is
taking place in the various depart
ments Of their banks after the hour
when my friend thought the banks
business was done and We had all
gone home
II was late afternoon, the days
work. begun at eight in the morning
was nearing a climax. In the back
rooms Of the bank a vast rush OF hur-
ried work was in progress.
There came d sudden lull in one de
partment, however. Something was
wrong. The hum Of the adding ma
chimes and typewriters gradually died
away. The inaction was spreading
to other departments.
What's the matter there-what's
Off" one of the bank officers asked.
we are waiting for the stuff -
which in bank parlance means checks,
drafts, notes to enter. list. and prove.
The proof teller was called.
Don't you realize that you are put
ting US in danger of missing the Chi
cago and New York trains when your
checks come up late like this?" COM
planned the manager Of the transit
department.
The proof teller promptly passed the
blame TO one Of the receiving tellers.
BY this time half the bank force
: was tied up-with nothing to do.
Late deposits" explained the re
ceiving teller. Il did the best could. -
Have you ever stopped to consider
the work that remains to be done in
a bank after the last deposit is taken
in over the counter and the doors are
closed?
The checks and money cannot be
held over from one day to another.
the results might prove disastrous.
Tellers must strike a balance as
soon as possible. The total Of all
money. checks. drafts, notes, etc, re-
ceived must agree exactly 20 the
penny. with the total sum credited to
the depositors on that day.
Remittance letters must reach the
proper trains or the banks may be
held liable for negligence. Checks
must be charged to the makers so
that overdrafts may be avoided. Sig
natures must be examined for for
geries.
Time is valuable in bank during
the progress Of late afternoon work.
Furthermore, the reputation OF the
bank for accuracy and the speedy and
intelligent handling OF the public's
business must be maintained. The
banking public expects speed and pre-
cision.
These are a few Of the reasons why
a bank must have a distinct cutoff
in its contact with its customers-a
definite zero" hour when II must
stop taking deposits.
Your bank must be given some lee
way to close its daily business accu-
rately and on time. Remember your
banks closing hour and keep IN mind
that unnecessary last-minute depos-
bits make late afternoon work doubly
in any bank. Bankers all
over the country are taking steps to
encourage earlier banking. just as the
merchants are advocating early shop
ping. This is a contribution to that
purpose.

One of the most warlike of Indian
maidens was Hanging Cloud, a Chip
pewa girl, the daughter of Na-nong-
ga-bee, chief Of a branch of that tribe
which occupied the territory around
Rice lake in northern Wisconsin, some
rs years ago. In her hair Hanging
Cloud wore three eagle plumes, signi-
flying that she had slain that many
braves in battle.
This exploit she performed when

HAD HIGH SENSE OF HONOR
Mark Twain Punetilious to Degree,
in Order to Satisfy His "Presby-
terrain Conscience"

Mark Twain, it is well known, la
bored in his older years to repay the
debts incurred by his publisher; but
probably great many persons, basing
their opinions on Twain's own jests
supposed him to De rather happy-go-
lucky in smaller affairs. But he was
not, shows Gamaliel Bradford in his
sketch of Twain in American Por-
traits"
The most obvious instances of his
rectitude, says Mr.. Bradford, are In
regard to money. In spite of his
dreams and speculative vagaries, he
was punctiliously scrupulous in
financial relations, his strictness Gull
minating in the vast effort of pa
thence and self-denial necessary to pay
off the debt of honor which fell upon
him in his later years. But the nice
ness of his conscience was not limited
to broad obligations of this kind.
mine was trained Presbyterian
conscience" Twain says, "and knew
but the one duty-to hunt and harry
its slave upon all pretexts and all
occasions. l don't wish even to seem
to do anything which can invite sus-
picion." he said, as to a matter so
trivial as taking advantage in a game.

CONFERENCE TO Be

AT GENOA.

tics Out.


Washington. While not actively
participating in the adjourned Russian
conference called to meet at The
Hague next month, the United States
will have an observer on the job at
all times. Just as Ambassador Child
kept in closest touch with develop
ments at Genoa,
While the logical man for the list
ening post at The Hague would be
Mr.. Child, 1t is more likely that Louis
A. Sussdorff, first secretary of lega-
ton and charge d'affaires will be the
American official observer. The fact
that we have no minister at The
Hague for the present, of course, may
cause Secretary of State Hughes to
make a departure from the procedure
followed at Genoa.
Secretary Hughes, however, estab-
lished a precedent at Genoa by leav-
Ing American informal representation
to our highest diplomatic representa-
tive in the country in which the con-
ference was held If Ambassador Child
were sent to The Hague it would
amount to special representation, and
the United States has declined a pre-
liminary invitation to send such a
representative.
In view of the fact that the legal
staff at The Hague headed by Mr..
Sussdorff have had much more expert
ence in practical diplomacy than Mr..
Child, despite his higher rank, the
belief generally expressed here is that
the State Department will be kept
fully advised.
The United States will not partici-
pate more actively at The Hague than
at Genoa unless the conference there
determines to institute such an expert
economic investigation as suggested
by France and approved on various oc-
casions by the State Department.
Even IL the soviet delegates do not
alter their position during The Hague
meeting the United States could still
consistently participate in the work
of a commission of economic and fl
nancial experts which would not touch
political questions in any way but
confine it's activities to an inquiry
into actual economic conditions in the
great Slav empire and the remedies
required to start the country on the
road toward reconstruction.
American participation, however,
unquestionably would depend upon the
attitude of Russia toward such an
expert inquiry.
If the Moscow authorities are pre-
pared to give such a commission carte
blanche and agree to facilitate its in
vestigations rather than an attempt
to hamper them in any way, American
participation is assured. Otherwise
the United States will not take part.

BEAR AND BEAVER

Billy Bear waved his head and
sang this song:
There was a young bear in the zoo
Who said, I'm disguised it's true,
Just because I'm bear,
And because I've four legs and not
two"
Then Benjamin Beaver who was not
far off in his zoo home sang this
song:
There was a young beaver and he'd
work with a zest,
But he knew as we'll how to rest.
He'd work and he'd work,
mot a task would he shirk,
But when he was through,
He was through, through, through"
Billy Bear waved his head in the
direction of Benjamin Beavers home
and he said:
''That was good song, Benjamin.
There was some sense to what you
said and 1t rhymed quite nicely"
"Phat was good song, Billy
Bear. 'Im glad 1t pleased you. !

with your rhyme"
IF the rest of the world thought as
we did of ourselves and Of each other
We might be considered fine poets,"
Billy growled cheerfully.
But the trouble is we're not" said
Benjamin.
"Oh WE'LL" said Billy, "even If we
can't be fine poets we have lots of
fun with our rhymes. And then, too,
we wouldn't want to be the whole
world.
"Just suppose we were even good
part of the world. That would be
awkward.
why, part of us might want to be
In Asia and part in Africa and part In
America"
THAT would be awkward" said
Benjamin. 1T Is just as well we are as
we are.
But you know" Benjamin con-
tinued, "that people think beavers do
nothing but work. They speak of be-
ing as busy as beaver.
"There is a saying that goes like
that and a sensible saying it Is in a
way. There Is no creature who can
work so hard and well and thoroughly
and completely and with so much
thought and care and skill as ii
beaver That is my beaver opinion, at
any rate.
"But we don't work all the time.
We go off on vacations In the summer
time. We go a-yisiting other beaver
colonies.
"We know how TO stop after our
work is done and think and enjoy the
good, fresh air and the sweet beaver
thoughts that we have
"Ah, it Is nice to be a beaver and
to work and to rest both with equal
skill and enjoyment.

like mounds with various entrances to
our rooms and tunnels and store
rooms and canals and food basins.
