FRENCH LICK, Ind, May a.
The faith of men in each other is
growing, J. H. Puelicher, president Of
the American Bankers Association
told members of the National As
ISOLATION Of Reserve City Bankers
here today.
"Nine-tenths Of our business is now
done by credit" he declared. ''The
great bulk is obtained from the banks.
1t is obtained because men have
character-because they keep faith.
b The more men who come to the
banks with characters that entitle
them to credit, the more men realize
that to gain credit they must possess
characters that win them unques-
toned trust, the higher becomes the
ethical standard of the Nation
Business throughout the country is
on a firm, healthy basis, bankers
from every part of the United States
reported.
While the edge of the business
boom has been dulled, business is in
a healthier state they declared.
The opinions generally expressed
that, until there is an adjustment Of
economic forces who will give the
farmer a more equitable share in the
prosperity Of the country, normal con
dirions will not be reached.

Many are the styles this season,
but the chosen models are three
piece suits with box or blouse coats.
Trimmings are rich.
Coats frequently are embroidered
in a contrasting color. Narrow braid
is stitched into complicated patters.
Broad braid is used in tailored
straight lines. Stimulating tucks.
Even beading is seen.
The three.piece. so-called, really is
a two-pieqs suit, since the blouse al
most always is attached to the skirt.
Knife pleated, accordion pleated
and plain skirts are equally popular.
Twills and cords are the fabrics
most used Tricounes come next,
then serge.
For sport wear, checked materials
are best. Tweeds are lamentably

At present you and this man are far
from such an understanding. But you
may be able to reach one.
One of you must give in in the mat
ter Of the marriage ceremony in the
first place. Running away would
only make you more unhappy, as long
as you are so far apart in this matter
Then you must agree as to the re-
ligion in which your children are to
be reared.
Such an understanding will necessi-
tate much compromise. If you are
not willing to meet each other half
way, or a little more, it is useless for
you to marry.
