BANKS, BUSINESS AND BUNK

We should appreciate our banks
more ntimes of stress than wheI
we are sitting pretty, but probably
we do not. One reason may be that
when we feel bit uneasy our ears
are opened wider to the mouthings
of the meddlesome and to the bawl-
ings of bunk.
The banks are to industry, big
and little, to business, large and
small, to the community and the
home, to the merchant and the la
borer, what knowledge is to litera-
ture and science as applied to pub
lie needs. Facts, developed from
study, research and experience, are
stored in the brains of men to be
turned loose to meet the exigencies
of humanity. Money is stored in
banks by the public to be loaned as
the emergencies of the individual
or the company may require, security
being given. One fine difference is
that facts usually are more available
than funds.
The banker must be conservative.
He must exercise great care Upon
him devolves the responsibility of
loaning other peoples money. He
must protect them. On the other
hand the necessities of the commun-
ity must ever be present in his mind.
He is between two fires, and they
become rather hotter in tough
times.
Banks are the cornerstones of
business-and we are all engaged in
business in one way or another.
The communities are the most
stable, the most immune from injury
whose people place their money in
banks. that it may enter the chan
nels of business, instead of sticking
it in their socks, which is an unsafe,
unsound and unbusiness-like prac-
tice.
1t is the circulation of money that
makes for activity. When it is hoard
ed it loses its potency. The hoard
er is the slayer of the goose that lays
the golden eggs. Moreover, hoard

William Rose Benet, Poet, Is
Husband Of Former WASH
.ington Belle.

Mrs. Elinor Hoyt Hichborn Wylie,
former Washington belle and d.
vorcee, has become a bride the third
time. william Rose Benet, poet and
once connected with the United
States Chamber of Commerce in
Washington, is the husband, friends
here learned today.
The poets were married In New
York on Friday, after a courtship
of more than q year. When the
gossip of their engagement was
first aired, Benet denied the rumors.
Mrs. Wylie was said at the time
to have expressed the desire to be
q. mother to Benet's three children.
He Is widower.
Mrs. Wylie's life is as colorful
as a novel. Her 1ather,, Henry M.
Hoyt, was solicito: general under
President Taft, when Elinor Hoyt
became engaged to Philip S. HIGH
born, wealthy lawyer and writer.
They were married in 1907.
When the HichbornS took up their
new residence here, Mr.. and Mrs.
Horace Wylie were their next-door
neighbors.
Washington society was startled
in 1911 to learn that pretty Mrs.
Hichborn had ~eloped to Europe with
Wylie.
Hichborn filed divorce proceedings
against his wife, naming Wylie as
correspondent. Then he killed him.
self at the home of Mrs. Paul
Pearsall, his sister, 1902 Sixteenth
street northwest.
After their escapade had run
through six months, Wylie and
Mrs. Hichborn returned to Wash
ington. Wylie went back to his
wife. The couple, however disap-
peared again in September, 1911.
Mrs. Wylie divorced her husband In
1915, having learned he was living
in Corsica with Mrs. Hichborn and
their three children. Wylie married
Mrs. Hichborn.
Years brought another change of
heart. Wylie left his second wife.
She divorced him in 1919, and went
to New York, where she engaged in
literary work. Since that time she
has made a name for herself in the
field of modern American poetry.
It was during her life in New
York that Mrs. Wylie met Benet.
Their friendship prospered, but re-
ports of possibilities Of matrimony
were repeatedly denied.
