pany service has registered the
greatest strides forward of any man
developed institution.
A conversation with any bank or
trust company officer in Washington
will disclose to the seeker after in

have been developed in modern
banking practice. Certainly a bank
has become far more than a private
business institution, 1t is much more
an organization. devoted to the pub
lie well-being and the profit or the
whole community.
Citizens of Washington who have
not already made a banking connec-
ton, or who have financial prob
lens to solve, could do no better
than to get acquainted with the OF.
ficers of one OF these institutions
and learn at first hand what bank
has to offer in the way of service
and help.

Dr. Samuel Johnson
100 1854

IF Samuel johnson had
lived a thousand years
he never would have amassed
a fortune. For months at
a time his pen remained idle.
Macaulay said that the total
amount Of his writings for
the period between 1865 and
ITS would scarcely have
taken him a week at the
speed Of which he was
capable.
When necessity knocked
he could write speedily.
Witness "Rasselas, Prince of
Abyssinia," a weighty tome
which he produced in a week
to defray the expenses of his
mothers funeral. Yet the
Incidence of the man kept
him in poverty practically all
of his life.
Today, as in Johnson's
time, financial success comes
not from Incidence but from
persevering work and the in
telligent investment of the
fruits of the toll.
To invest the earnings Of
your hard work in our

sures your future against
want and poverty and will
allow you to spend your
waning years in peace and
comfort.

CHAPMAN REALLY
 A WEAK EGOIST
Conn. Prison Board Official Dis
 CuSSeS Criminal

Springfield. Mass, Oct. 2s-An intimate picture of Gerald Chap man. breaking down In the midst Of an effort to tell his life story shortly before he went to the gal lows, has been drawn by Colonel Norris G. Osborn ot New Haven, president of the board of prison d. rectors who was a frequent visitor to the condemned man in his cell at Whethersfeld.
 As Colonel Osborn has related the incident Chapman began to tell of 19 year old boy he said he knew, who had no criminal in- stincts. but who was restless and curious and stole money out of pure mischief. This boy was caught and sent to Elmira. just as Chap man was. When he came out Of prison he found that his mothers hair had turned white. Chapman's mother died when he was young, but his aunt became mother to him. It Is believed that Chapman had this woman In mind.
 "As Chapman told this story" Col onel Osb| l t. a Springfield audi ence Tuesday night, he reached over the table for his handkerchief and there were tears In his eyes Later told thir incident to the pris- on psychiatrist. He told me that from that story barrier had arisen between Chapman and myself that would never be surm ounted. He was correct"
 Psychiatry explains this reaction of Chapman by the theory that by the relation of 'he incident Chapman had created an emotional barrier be- tween himself and Colonel Osborn which no amount of social attrition could wear down. Had Chapman been able 10 break through the bar Tier he would have gone on to l. zeal his whole life history. Failing his most tender and precious mem ory-he retreated into tn. silence which had always characterized him.
 No Arch Criminal
 "An actor a 'ettante. vanity and the projection If great ego." is the character given the dead ban dit by Colonel Osborn.
 Taken all In all." he said. Chap man was not an arch h-criminal. He was largely dilettante, a vanity and the projection of a great ego. His nails for instance, were always beautifully kept. like woman's. And since I have talked with Shean I am convinced that he Is & weak minded man. easily led. Chapman. however, was an actor and he dra- matized himself. In a certain way I liked him. but whatever his traits were, Chapman unquestionably was not a per-criminal nor a man of exceptional liter merit.'
