The total bank clearings for the South and Southwest for the month are over $3,0O000O as compared with $2,395 100000 for the core spending month of 1922.
 The total number of failures throughout the country for January was 557 less than for January last year and the decrease in liabilities was 2,OO0,000 or almost exactly fifty per cent decrease, the total for the month being $53,OOO,OOO as against $1O5,OOO,OOO for January, 1922. The decrease in the South was most pronounced the total number of failures for the month being 564 in the South, as com pared with 934 for the same month last year, and the liabilities in this section for January were only $12,82S ,O00 as compared with $31,- 100000 for January, 1922 Thus the decrease in the South was relatively far better than that of the country at large, showing how rapidly this section is getting on its feet financially.
 Notable events took place last Summer and in the early Fall One was the change in the policy of the Federal Reserve system, with the definite knowledge that the former gover- nor would not be reappointed, thus guarantee- ing to the country change for the better. The other notable event was the passage of the tariff bill Pessmistic free traders pro- claimed that this tariff bill would destroy our prosperity and decrease our foreign trade, both exports and imports
 Many Eastern bankers proclaimed that a change in the administration of the Federal Reserve System would endanger the financial safety of the country but the predictions of these financiers and of the free traders have alike proved how little attention should be paid to them as prophets. They were prophets of evil, who like the prophets of evil of olden times, who failed to interpret the divine mes sagcs aright, gave their own messages in stead of those inspired from above.

THE AGE OF WONDERS

We are living in the age of wonder Where ten years ago folks would scoff at new Idea and say "Impossible,' they now consider 1t seriously and admit "Well, that might be done. Nothing is really impossible''
 Especially does this seem true of the wire less. The latest discovered use of wireless is it's ability to make the deaf hear Many people who have never heard any sound, have listened to music and the human voice for the first time in their lives, because the eardrums were effected by the finer vibrations of wireless when the ordinary tuning fork vibration made no impression.
 In most remarkable book, "A Dwe1Ier on Two Planets,' dictated by Phylos, one who lived on this earth 12,000 years ago, through the medium of automatic writing we learn that wireless developed beyond our pres ent conception by civilization far superior to the generation of our day. In ancient Atlantis an instrument called the ''naim'' enabled one to see distant events as they transpired and to talk face to face with friends, though thousands of miles separated their physical bodies.
 We are about to rediscover this remarkable wireless mirror. At the present time Edou- ard Beln, distinguished French scientist, is
  telephoto device, that when perfected will equal the "nam'' product of forgotten civ Iiization.
 Nicola Tesla American electrical wizard, is also experimenting along the same line and says that the means of seeing by wireless as we'll as hearing can and will be accomplished within short time.
 Imagine sitting in your home and seeing some world event take place as vividly as IT Iyou were actually present. even to the hearing of the things that transpre. Distance IS mo barrier The device will work at distance of five thousand miles as easily as five miles. The vibrations will pass through the earths |surface unbroken.
 This is a subject which would stand columns of writing and not decrease in interest. W" are lead to make another worn expression at the future possibilities of our world today, |"Will wonders never cease?'

TURNING TO TRADES

The Apprenticeship Commission of the New York Builders Congress has undertaken highly useful task in arranging to give the boys of New York City an opportunity to learn the skilled trades, particularly in build- ing construction. There is a dearth of skilled workmen, and surplus of youths who do not know how to make an honest living. The report of the State Probation Commission shows that 1000 youths under 21 years of age were sent to prison in the past five years most of them undoubtedly boys who had never learned how to work and sought to get money by some illegal means. Satan always finds mischief for idle hands to do. There is an organized effort throughout the United States to keep every boy in school until he has completed the high school, and then to, send most of them to college for four years and then to a professional school for four wears more after which they are to be turned out to seek professional jobs that pay less than plumbing or brcklaying or carpenterng It is a common criticism of salaries of teach CTS that they are less than the compensation of bricklayers The explanation is simple there is more demand for bricklayers, in pro- portion to the supply, than there is for teach CTS. The trouble lies largely in the fact that foo many are trained for teaching and not enough for bricklaying, with the result that surplus of teachers cuts the salaries while scarcity of bricklayers forces high wages in that occupation. American boys have right to equality of opportunity and they are not getting it under system that practically forces them to prepare for the occupations that pav the smaller returns.

BETTER NOT SAY IT!

Bad news travels faster than good news. There is an old saying, "No news is good news' Let a man be converted at a church service and there is not much of a stir, but let resident be convicted of some crime and the news leaps by word of mouth from one end of the community to the other
 How thoughtessly unkind we sometimes are when neighbors of ours suffer misfortune! Troubles are bound to come to us all in some shape or form and what we say about our friends and acquaintances today may apply to HIS tomorrow. News is no respector of persons.
 We are prone to consider the ways of others not our ways when we should be watching our own step What folks say of one another sometimes hurts more than anything thev could have done News either good or bad, grows and becomes exaggerated and distorted with peddling. When the news is good it makes no material difference how it is eX aggerated or distorted-it can never do anyone positive harm But bad news, given wings, may bring sorrow and ruin upon people who certainly are not deserving of a punishment beyond the penalty of their mistake
 More charity for others will mean more charity for ourselves and we will gradually come to take keener delight in reporting something good of some person than something bad. Good is constructive bad is destructive Just before you are about to let out a bit of "bad news,'' stop and think moment. See if you can't think of something good to say m place of it. The chances are ten to one that you can and that you will.

THE VAIL OF THE PESSIMIST

Bank clearings for January tell the story of the wonderful change that has taken place in the volume of business in all parts of the country as compared with the corresponding month of 1922 Bradstreet's report of the bank clearngs in 134 cities of the United States for January show a total for the entire country of $36, 339,0OO,000 as compared with $29, 29OO0,000 for January, 1922, gain of $6,910000,000 in the bank clearings Of one month.

THE PRESIDENTS BURDENS SHOULD
 BE LIGHTENED

The duties devolving personally upon the President have been so tremendously increased bv the growth of the country and the expan- sion in the activities of government that It is jmpossible for the incumbent of the of1lce to even attempt to attend to them WltlouC hroakine his health and so dividing hls at 4ontion that the really important functions o1 the oreat office are necessarily neglected.
 The President should have an assistant, with the rank of a Cabinet officer, to dls ,,oeo of q oreat mass of routine matters Whlc mnst now be given personal attention by the President no matter how efficient hls eNecu 1.-Two staff The business of deciding upon ap- ,,o;ntnents. the most difficult and wearing ol all the Presidents tasks could be turned over +o cnch an official to the infinite relief of the President Such an arrangement would re- move the sting of an adverse declslon WHICH, ranking in the hearts of disappointed men, has nlaved so large part at times in politics and public affairs.
 p,,t +bo most important result of such an o,ranooment would be to free the mlnd o1 the President from the annoyance of these and other details of the office which have shortened the lives of number of Presidents, and have made the official careers of all Presl- dents unnecessarily difficult. The really m nortant work of the Presidency should be done in an atmoshpere of repose and dellDeraVlon; Public policies should be thought over ana talked over with real best minds m ana out of Congress and the Executive departments
 There will be no relief for the President of the United States until there IS an altere" executive organization which leaves upon the shoulders of the Chief Executive only the bur dens it is essential he should carry. It IS not surnrisine to know that under existing con- ditons the enjoyment derived from the per formance of the duties of the place are about on a par with those extracted from term Ill the penitentiary.
 The President of the United States holds the most powerful and the most important place in the world. He should be protected from life-wearing cares which detract from rather than add to the possibility Of man. taining physical and mental condition es sential to the highest forms of constructive thought and action. That can be brought about only through shifting of that part of executive responsibility which 1t IS not at all essential President should carry. In due time the necessity of such reform Will be so thoroughly apparent that relief will be given.

GREENWICH VILLAGE NOT AS PAINTED

As everyone knows this is one of the best advertised sections of New York, and it seems to be better known of by people in other parts of the United States than by the local residents To the New Yorker it is pleasant retreat, abandoned to those queer people who like to go around in sculptor's aprons, long hair and soft slouch hats. The village, let it be said, does not take itself so seriously as the rest of the city thinks it does.
 It's main claim as a place of interest is in its many table d'hote places, where one dimes Cor attempts to) and dances amid bizarre dec oratons. These places are given freaklsh names, and ridiculous prices are charged to those who patronize them The average American city's health department would not tolerate them as they are mostly located m basement rooms and are badly ventilated.

WHEN THE DEVIL. IS SICK"

The "Reds'' who plotted for an overthrow of the Constitutional Government of the United States, are claiming all the protection the Constitution affords them in their trials in Michigan courts. They have always claimed and have enjoyed the protection of the Gov' ernment in their right 10 life, liberty and enjoyment of property. Most men speak well of the bridge that carries them safely over. but not the "Red.'

ChaI-Hung had only been dead for a
matter of days! He found himself
wondering what the inscription i'm
piled, and wishing that Chinese Pen
nington-who could have speedily en-
ughtened him-had chosen any other
time but this to be away. For some
reason or other, he began to feel dis
satisfied with the way in which the
trophy had come into his possession.
1t was perfectly natural sequence
of events, after all, and perhaps it
was that which worried him most.
Hewitt fiicked the ash from his
cigar. Turning abruptly, he saw
Monica standing in the doorway. She
was wearing the same kimono as when
Pennington had surprised them in the
office, and the Siamese kitten was
tucked snugly under one arm. 1t
seemed to the commissioner that she
was unusually pale and there were
dark lines under her eyes that he had
not noticed before.

The servant returned with a mes

not to wait lunch for her.
The Chinese servant shuffled in
and placed a small tray on the table

reached out for the glass, looking
down all the while at the mans bare
toes.
What did you buy at the shop Of
Lien-Yin this morning?" he demanded
with sudden ferceness.
The Chinaman started violently.
Nothing, tuan," he stammered,
evidently taken off his guard.
Hewitt's brows converged.
What were you doing there-if
you bought nothing?"
The creature opened his mouth, but
no sound came. He stood before the
Englishman, twisting his fingers to-
gether, glancing from one object to
another as if in search of inspiration
1.-THE shop of Lien-Yin is closed, -
