DOUGHBOY'S BRIDE IS GIVEN AFFECTI0NATE
 GREETING BY IN-LAW

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-At least one of the SS German brides who returned
 from the Rhine with the American doughboys today passed the mother in-law test She was Mrs. William Wheeler, late of Coblenz. soon of Ev-
 erett, Mass. Her mark in the exami-
 nation was 100 per cent. Bright and early this morning a sturdy figure entered the lobby of the Hotel Rntledge, where the brides are qua1 tered. 1t was Bill" Buck Private.
 Clinging to his arm was a bent It, tie woman with white hair and keen, appraising eyes. It was Bills mother,
 Mrs. Annie Wheeler of Everett. Tell Mrs. Wheeler to come down. please the soldier said to the eleva-
 tor operator. And then the two stood there silent, waiting.
 The elevator door opened and a plump, smiling, fair-haired girl of "A
 stepped out. A little girl of two was
 clinging to her hand.
 The bride ran at once to the two figures. Paying no attention to the doughboy, she threw two short arms around the gray-haired woman.
 Mamma" she said, excitedly. And
 then an old fashioned kiss resounded The little woman did not stop to survey the other. The embrace was without reservation.
 A moment or two later the elderly woman was on her knees with her
 hands cutstretched to a grandchild | named after her-a grandchild she
 had never seen before. Little Annie drew back. Her
 mother bent over her.
 Its grandma" she said with a
 German accent. Annie still hesitated. "Ess ist t deine gross mutter," the
 mother said. The child held her face up for a kiss. A few minutes later she ut tered her first phrase in the English l tongue-a phrase in which she had been carefully coached: Hello, grandma"
 Soon the family was seated in the lounge chatting as freely as the lim- itations of the strange tongue would permit.
 All but one of the brides seemed happy in the land of their husbands One however, had a violent attack of homesickness and threatened to take the next ship back-but recanted. The others peered curiously from
 the windows of the hotel or sat around in groups talking German. Some of the brave ventured forth to
 have a look at the subway and some of the other things of which they've heard. But most of them just waited for their husbands, who by tomorrow will be discharged from the army

LYE DANGEROUS

Concentrated lye, used so freely
and commonly in almost all kitchens
and about the homes OF our people,
is a dangerous poison; II is caustic
and results in severe burns. Many

The members of our General Assem-.

The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1923-09-28


that law, enduring its evil conse'
quences for fifteen years and then
frankly casting 1t aside as a failure,
has performed an economic service to
the nation. These could be no more
convincing argument against the pas
sage of similar laws in other states
than Oklahoma's disastrous expert
ment.
The Oklahoma guaranty law was
the first of it's kind. 1t was enacted
In response to the panic Of 1907. But
experience has only proved again that
there is no substitute for sound bank
ing. Relying on the fancied security
of the guaranty law, people entrusted
their banking to many who were un'
lit for the trust. Bank failures have
been so many that the fund, sup
posed to guarantee deposits, created
by assessments on banks, was long
Ngo depleted.
1t is estimated that with total liabil'
tiles created under the law in the
form of warrants and sums owing to
depositors amounting to $12OOO,OOO,
there are in the hands Of the Banking
Board uncertain assets Of nominally
s15,O00,0O0, ranging in value from
zero to only thirty or forty cents on
the dollar, resulting in a deficit OF
many millioL dollars. Sound, well-man
aged banks have been heavily taxed
by assessments to the fund, and the
maximum amount that could be as.
sessed on solvent banks is insufficient
to cover the deficit.
1t has been we'll said that guaranty
laws make for looseness in banking
methods, and saddle on the COM
petent and honest the sins of the in
competent and dishonest.
Let us have only laws that raise
the standard of banking. Let us hava
no laws that debase it.
