Clearing House
Started By Two
LAZY" Bank Clerks

London, Nov. 22-P)-The Lon
don Bankers Clearing House
through which checks for E4O,437.-
$4,000 passed during 1925 Is really
the outcome of two lazy bank clerks
ideas.
Before the Clearing House was es-
tablished the collection of checks was
a laborious affair, each bank sending
messengers to another bank to cash
checks over the counter. About the
year 1870 two clerks, each going to
the other bank, happened to meet
in tavern and 1t occurred to them
much trouble would be saved by ex-
changing checks and settling the
difference in cash. This arrangement
worked so well that other clerks
copied 1t and in that year the yard
of the Five Bells public house near
Lombard street became the recog-
nized meeting place for clerks to ex-
change checks.
Eventually bankers adopted the
lazy clerks idea and rented a room
for the purpose. but actual rules
were not drawn up till the beginning
of the nineteenth century In 1854
joint stock banks had become so
strong they were admitted to the
Clearing House which now handles
all checks passed through the banks,
strikes a balance each day, and
credits or debts their accounts at
the Bank of England.
Frequently over a million checks
are passed through the Clearing
House in a single day.

ed the wool over the eyes of their
sophomore foes yesterday morning by
holding their banquet within a
stones throw of the entire second
year class while the sophs were Sc
renely going to their morning class

The ingenious freshmen who devils
ed the scheme deserves the palm for
being an acute observer of the Sec
ond year men, as the feast was held
IN the college gymnasium in the mid
die or the day, while the greater part
OF the sophomore class were in their
recitations unaware of any excite
ment going on. A handful of the
sophs were on the scene and were
busily but hopelessly trying to break
up the banquet.
The banquet was an unqualified
success, and carried out every rule
recently laid down by the Student
Council. AS result OF its success,
the sophomore class in their meeting
yesterday afternoon, declared all
freshman rules, except caps and
smoking, off.
In the evening the two classes
were once again friends, and cele-
brated the occasion by a dance at
Elks Hall

broken the firm. He has also gotten
Vanderburg in debt, robbing him and
getting him to even sign away his per-

friend of Vans and tries to straighten
things out. Professor Barrett, an alb
sent-minded old man, has been worllin g
on an invention and comes to see Van
about it. Van finds that he has I'M
knowingly sold the professor some
fake stocks. The only thing Van has
left is his life insurance. so he decides
to kill himself after making his insur-
ance over to the professor.
AS he Is about to do this bill the

gets there Just in time to prevent Van
from destroying himself. Bill tells
him that the insurance company won't
pay a suicide claim, but will for a
murder. Van hires Bill to kill him
and gives him year to do it. Bill
promises to do the job up right.
Joyce Barrett and her friend Mile

professor. Van falls in love with
Joyce at first sight and decides that he

the house and the plot gets downright
foggy. Clancy, cop, is looking Tor

man. Van comes back and finds that
the stock which he sold the professor
is o. X. and he finds that while he
was away DR.. Rigby had patented one
of his (Van's) inventions. So all Is
well except for the fact that Van finds
it necessary to keep dodgipg Bill, who
is tnsistent upon earning his money.
