until he had served his country fol
a stipulated number of years.
In discussing this plan have found
only one general objection to it, and
that one is odd enough to be worm
recording. 1t is argued that this plan
would destroy the amateur spirit in
politics.
In the first place, there is no anna
teur spirit in present-day politics.
And in the second place, this idea that
the amateur spirit is of any value is
one of those pleasant decisions with
which many fool themselves. If the
amateur spirit is of value in politics,
then why is it not of equal value in
other branches of human activity?
Why do we not go into transports

The French Peace
Prize Winner

The newspapers have widely re-
ported that a Waterman or janitor
was the winner in France of the first
prize for a Peace Plan in a contest
along the lines of the Box contest.
This would place the janitor in new
role as peacemaker, contrary to the
experience of all jewellers in apart
ment houses. While it is a pity to
spoil good story, the truth, as
pointed out by Professor Marcel

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
On How Not to Make Out Checks

1.-THE most annoying thing has hap
pened, Aunt Emmy" exclaimed Helen.
'T sent a check for S. to the hospital
to help them in their drive and some
one cashed 1t. Isn't it a shame. for |
simply can't afford to send another"
81 don't see how that could happen"
said Aunt Emmy, of you made out the
check properly"
'Why, Of course, did" Helen said
Il made it out just as l always do. to
bearer"
Aunt Emmy laughed. mo wonder
you lost it," she said. "Any one at
all could cash check made out like
that. It's very careless Of you to do
it, no matter to whom the check is
given. It would only take few sec
onds to write the name Of the payee
properly. check made out to Bear
err may be cashed by any one who gets
It. It is regrettable but true that not
every one is honest. You know that
lots Of people would take a five dollar
bill if they happened to find it A
check made payable to bearer or to
cash is just as tempting to them as
five dollar bill would be-"
'But, Aunty, it was so frightfully
mean to steal from the hospital"
you invited this particular theft by
neglecting to make your check out
properly" Aunt Emmy admonished
Helen. "You may be glad your loss
is no greater. Even when you go to
the bank for money yourself you
should not make your check payable
to cash. Suppose you should lose it
on the way? The same thing that hap
pened to the hospital check might
happen to it. Better take an extra
minute and make the check out to
yourself, sign your name to it as usual
and indorse it just as though it were
one you received from someone else"
THAT seems like lot of times to
sign your own name on one little
check, doesn't it. Aunty?" objected
Helen.
TITS ever so much better to be on
the safe side than to lose your money
through carelessness," retorted Aunt
Emmy.-Anne B. Aymes.

Government Does Not
Own Reserve Banks

In the discussion of the Federal Re
serve banks and their operations. IN
due emphasis has frequently been
placed on their relation to the govern
ment, and they are frequently called
government banks" As a matter OF
fact, they are not government banks
in a true sense, but are corporations
and owned entirely by their member
banks. The government does not hold
a single share of their stock. The
control of the banks operations is
also largely in the hands of the mem
Der banks. who elect two-thirds of the
Federal Reserve bank directors. the
remaining one-third being appointed
by the government to represent the in
terest of the government and the pub
lie.
The Federal Reserve banks, it is
true. are agents of the government IN
addition to their other activities, and
in this capacity they must follow the
instructions of the government in
handling transactions which they per-
form simply as agents. We believe
that it is important that the fact that
a clear understanding of this point
should be generally had. as many Of
the criticisms made against the Fed
eral Reserve banks have been based
on misapprehension as to their rela-
to the government.-Amevi-
cor Bankers Association Journal.

that Governor Moore has reduced the

Words We Hape Clipped

dian made a great hit by clipping IA
miliar words, and we still hear him

London Tit-Bits says. People say i'm
posi- for impossible, biz for BUSH
ness and ''pash" for passion
But such clipped words are not des-
tined to appear In any dictionary, and
we must go back much farther in the
history Of words TO find that when we
say: "He led the van we mean the
vanguard" when we speak of q pair
of van horses, we mean "cervan'' !;
when we retire to the drawing room"
we ought to say the withdrawing
room; when we talk Of hobby we
refer to riding ''hobby-horse' when
we talk of sport we mean "disport, "
of "tending" we mean attending" or
a "cutes lawyer we mean acute, and
Of a still" we mean distillery.

JaUanese Houses by No

The walls around farms of -poeng-

built of more substantial material.
The same Is true Of the homes of

Beginnings of Music

The beginnings of muslc-making, as
1t Is practiced by uncivilized people,
offer curious reading. Among savage
tribes, II Is said, the earliest acquired
musical phrase is derived quite dis
tinctiy from a simple howl, the notes
gliding down or up a scale by semi
tones. And savages repeat over and
over again one phrase, their satisfac-
ton in having mastered which is child
like, AS the people rise In the scale
of intelligence, their favorite musical
phrases grow larger and become more
elaborate until a systematized making
Of music can be clearly discerned.
