AN UNSOUND BANKING SYSTEM

Georgia is paying heavy toll to reckless bank
ing. Within week 100 banks In Georgia and Flor
ida-mostly in Georgia-which are tied UP with the
now defunct Bankers Trust Company of Atlanta
have closed their DOORS A director of the Atlanta
bank has committed suicide, presumably because
Of the financial disaster.
AS near can be determined, since the Bank
ers' Trust Company wasn't even listed as a bank and
wasn't required to report to any bank supervising
agency the Georgia chain bank system worked
something like this:
The Bankers Trust Company-not bank
managed to act a sort of reserve bank for small
town banks throughout Georgia and in Florida It
borrowed funds from these banks, and paid them
higher rates of interest than they could get in
other places.
1t also agreed to give them back their money
when they needed 1t, and to grant them loans to
tide them over emergencies. 1t also enabled the
little hanks to keep out of the Federal reserve sys
tenn. and keep on charging fees for cashing checks
This check cashing business is sore point among
small southern bankers. They claim that a sub
santial share Of their profits from collecting
exchange on checks.

PREACHING ABOUT WOMEN
walter Earo,,so,,

The minister of Thornton Gap, KY. who was
slapped by bobbedhaired maiden IN his audience
after he had said that all short haired women were
headed straight for he'll got exactly what he deserved
Ministers have insulted women in their audiences
often enough in this country of equal rights and the
time has come when they should be able to think of
something else to preach about besides women and
their shortcomings. N-
Any man who has so little intelligence that he
will preach about bobbed hair and short skirts in this
day, has no business in the pulpit anyway ought
to be out blowing corn But half the captrap called
gospel which is dished up by terate ana uneducated
women's dress and tobacco. They nearly always for
get the real sins of and confine themselves to a
lot Of balderdash about trivialities
Ever since started preaching they have used
women the subject of most of their violent dia-
tribes. ST. Paul who knew little or nothing about the
other set them the example and they have never
let since. When they can't think of anything else
to talk about they start on the misdemeanors of
women
And all of this regardless Of the quite obvious fact
that If it were not for the the Christian church
today would probably be unknown Women made up
half the early followers of Jesus today they
do twothirds of the work of keeping UP every church
in the land Let the women suddenly quit their church
work and most of the ministers would be without jobs
They raise large share of the funds and make up
most of the audiences.
The wonder is that have sat SO long and
listened to the insults hurled at us by the Christian
clergy. Many time have longed to rise and
commit the deed that the Kentucky girl actual
y was brave enough to accomplish I, for one, glory
in her spunk. If lot Of preachers dealt with
thus, we might get real gospel when we 60 to

Common Law Practices

1t is an age-old custom that ship
captains can perform the marriage
ceremony.
Now we are told by no less an
authority than Chauncey q. Parker,
counsel of the United States ship
ping board that there is some ques-
ton ais to the legality of such mar
riages.
other authorities disagree, Mr..
Axtell, counsel for the Neptune AS
ISOLATION of Masters, Mates and
Pilots, declaring that marriages per-
formed at sea are just as legal as
those performed by ministers, or
justices of the peace.
The controversy revolves about a
question that is coming to play a
major part in our system of juris-
prudence-the question of abandon
ing common law practices for those
provided by statute.
There Is no statute granting ship
captains the right to marry, but
their authority is embedded in an
age-old tradition.

clares that it's all bosh to know that we can't eat
