PoLlTENESs IS REQUIRED
TO FOLKS OF GYPSY WIFE

BERLIN. Dec. 24.-Because he
didn't excuse himself to his wife's
relatives for having married into
their family, Anton Steinbach, king
Of a gypsy tribe, had to answer
before a Berlin court to charge
OF granddaughter.
The excuse, it was brought out
in the testimony, must be inside
every time the husband meets q
member OF his wrfe's family. Be
cause Steinbach neglected to OBJ
serve this sacred gypsy custom
when he met Primas Winter. head
Of the tribe OF his wife, Winter
slapped his face. Whereupon
Steinbach, not wanting to lay
hands on Winter, who was old,
grabbed the Iatter's son and pushed
his face through plate glass win
dow.
The result was a gun battle be-
tween the two tribes in which KARL
Winter, son Of Primas, was killed.
The court, however, was unable
to disentangle the affray ana ac-
quilted the accused on the ground
OF self-defense.

BANK HOLIDAYS
FAVORED
BY RICHARD HATTON


The announcement that banks
Of the District of Columbia viii be
closed on Saturday. December %,
as well as on Christmas Day, follow
ing the action of Congress- upon the
recommendation Of the Distrlct
Commissioners, has served to prlng
forth expressions of the growing
sentiment among some bank OIL
r;als favorinr certain bank holidays
d,rinr the summer months some
What along the lines of the Engllsh
system of bank holidays.
Ranks in England have tive sor
six HOLIDAYS. notably the day after
f.hrisfnnas Easter Monday, Good
Friday and New Year Day, winch
are not all customary in this coun-
frv II IL felt in some banking
quarters here that, during the sum
nler months especially, 1t would pc
beneficial TO establish certain days,
possilhIv two or htree Mondays DUR
ing the hot season. where all banh
EMPLOYEES could be given day OH.
Tf such day was fixed on Mon
day. ii is argued that bank eIe-
Moves. who are forced to remain
at their desks throughout the sum
mer. could take advantages OF the
extended interval between noon sat
urday and Tuesday morning TO visit
the seashore or the mountains Tor
rest and relaxation such as the
English bank employees enjoy at
Brighton and Margate.
While there is general closing
of business in England upon certain
s4zts tsSaTn L
stores are not all closed during the
weekend vacations afforded bank
employees during the summer and
there seems at least favorabte
ground here upon which some plan
can be worked out whereby more
latitude could be. given the banks
regarding holidays during the sum-
mer season. At any rate the pres.
enf interest in the question may be
the entering wedge to a more COM
prehensive consideration OF the
question OF bank holidays.
