CHRISTMAS FOR
FATHER IS
SOLVED
Steve Dale Finds Just the
Things for Dad and Mother
in Electric Store.

Stephen Z. Dale closed up his
desk early one afternoon i'm middle
December and turning to his assist
ant remarked that he was going for
the day. Waiting for the elevator
to carry him to the street level
Steve stood oblivious to what was
going on about him.
His railroad accommodations for
his usual trip to spend Christmas
day on the farm with his father
and mother were, of course, en-
gagged. He always spent Christ
mas day with them and generally
bought his gifts the same day that
he reserved a lower berth. This
year somehow the things he saw in
the shops all seemed so trite. ordin-
airy or useless. Being a bachelor
he could not put the burden of
finding suitable presents on his
wife.
Had Given Mittens.
Steve had given his father fur
lined driving mittens for several
years and thought that this had
solved the Christmas question as
far as father was concerned It
had. from Steve's point of view.
until the previous summer.
Then, one day he discovered two
unworn pairs carefully put away
in the cedar closet. In great dis
tress he went to his mother, busy
in the hot kitchen.
Bless you, of course your father
likes those mittens and wears them
an the time. As he can't sleep in
them he does not wear them out
fast enough. II he could slip 'em
over his knees they might help his
rheumatism" said his mother, try
ing to sooth her grown sons hurt
feelings.
Feared for Life.
You know, I don't know but this
rheumatism will be death of your
father" Mrs. Dale went on, wiping
the moisture from her face as she
peered into the steaming jelly ket-
tie, land yet I don't know as it
win. 1t certainly does make him
feel mighty poorly on cold or damp
days. But, you know, a creaking
hinge sometimes outlasts the silent,
smooth-running one"
When Steve reached the street
and started forth on his quest for
Christmas presents this little scene
was wildly in his mind and he
vowed that whatever he bought it
would not be driving mittens for
his father nor dress silk for his
mother. In looking a second time
at the unworn mittens he had also
unearthed several pieces of silk that
his mother had not yet had made
up.
What would it be this year?
That was the question. No, he
couldn't get his father some neck
ties, he thought, as he passed a
fine haberdashery. The old gen.
tleman would only wear the kind
he had always woeh, the readymade
ones. The others he considered
too new-fangled.
Scarcely had Steve ceased think
ing about neck-ties when he hap

To Name Curator

Toronto, Aug. 1.-THE Home
Bank of Canada has decided to sus-
pend payments and its affairs have
been placed in the hands of curator
appointed by the Canada Bankers
Association, directors of the bank
announced late today.
The directors announced that they
had received IAN official report of a
serious character as to the amount
SOf bad and doubtful debts among
tie assets of the bank and as to the
extent of appropriations necessary
in a number of large loans and in
vestments."
The report showed. the directors
stated. that the resources of the
bank had been seriously impaired
and that no REIMBURSEMENT of capital
or reserve could meet the situation.
Efforts to get another bank to
take over the assets and liabilities
of the bank were futile and the dir
ectors decided the best step for the
protection of the depositors and
other creditors would be to suspend
payment.
The suspension in no way involves
the value of the bills of the bank in
circulation. ii was stated. Such bills
will be redeemed at their face value

the condition of Germany. Canon

in the last of his series of lectures

by the failure of German reparations

sence of payments, has been covered
by a continuous issue of bonds and
frequent loans that is to say, by
additions to the debt" he added.

he no other means than loan
