TRUSTING THE BANKS

Money in old socks under the rag carpet is one
Of the most useless things in the world Such money
does not furnish any real protection to the
who has hidden it. for it likely to be lost or stolen
or burned up
People usually store money in this way because they
do not trust the banks and other financial institutions
which handle the funds of their deposors Even under
total lack of guarantee laws the bank is ordinarily
safer depository for money than is the old sock.
One function Of money is to make more money for
its possessor 1t not meant to be boarded but to
be used to furnish the blood for the arteries of
trade. Money that is set at work makes money not
only in direct way for its owner, but indirectly for
everybody Industries live capital under our pres
ent social organization, which likely to persist
for some time to come. Laborers work when money
works, and starvation would to many if all the
money OF the country put under the carpet. And
the money itself would become worthless.
Another bulwark Of industry IS confidence. The
wheels Of trade will not turn without the lubricant of
trust The widespread spirit Of suspicion that leads
to the boarding Of money in the home is not good for
business.
America needs to get its money out Of the teapot
and the oven and put it in the banks and the business
OF the land It people will not trust the banks let
them loan their money to Uncle Sam. Probably he will
not go bankrupt; and if he does, the money will be of
no use anyhow. Put your money at work, somewhere
and somehow, and then go to work yourself in the
cheerful confidence that most Of your feowmen are
honest and will protect your interests.

THE HOMECOMING STUDENTS


When the boys and girls come home for the holidays
from schools and colleges, they object of much
alteration from admiring relatives. Many Of the home
folks worrying for fear they studying too hard
but that is probably the least Of the things that should
excite alarm.
Judging by their slang, their self-confident
poise their increased sophistcaon they have learned
great deal Some Of the parents may feel they have
learned to much.
Not so much is heard Of the they have stud
led which would think from their conversation
very minor element. That does not mean that they
are not doing some real work. It would be tedious for
anyone to grind away textbooks week after week.
Is wonder that when the requirements Of the class
room are suspended for : brief respite they should
kick their heels in the air. and seek to forget such
forbidding facts ~ lessons and examinations.
In spite Of al the holiday doings there should be
some good heart to heart talks with the folks at home
The day will come when in their consciousness
Of their own independence and necessity for sef-re-
lance they win feel they must make their own de-
cisions. The power Of the home to influence them will
have passed to some extent
These days before they have made this final flight
into the world precious for those who love them
There y stu time to give them good words Of counsel

ROBBERY FOR EDUCATION

There are various kinds Of pride. Some of them are
praiseworthy and some are quite the reverse.

is awaiting sentence for robbng two gasoline stations
Arrested for the crimes he explained that he had lost
the job by which he working his way through COL
lege His father, rural mail carrier could not help
him. The boy had to have money.
II was too proud to ask for help" he said.
That kind of pride is distinctly not an asset to any
body. 1t may be embarrassing to ask someone to help
you out Of financial difficulties, but it is wee bit
better than going out and committing robbery.

Mortimer bit her lip.
Come on" she said quickly:
you're missing something"
A maid in a strip Of printed
cloth wound round her came to
take Jerry's and Alester's wraps.
They followed Betty to the cur
tanned doorway. Alester held the
bamboo fringe up for her to pass
through but she hung back and let
Jerry precede her.

said under her breath, but Jerry
caught the words.
She had no time to ponder the
meaning; before her was q scene
Of indescribable pandemonium.
At q table in the foreground sat
group Of young men and women
who were plainly Of Alester's and
Betty's sort. On the table was a
large black pot and under It an
artificial fire. The table was very
low-made from rough boards laid
on the noor. The guests squatted
on mat seats. n
lRUT 1t was not the table or those
= about it that attracted Jerry's
attention. At the end Of the room
that end which connected with
the central hall-wide doors, the
entire width Of the room, had been
thrown open to afford a view Of the
entertainment.
Alester led Jerry to a seat and as
she took It someone extinguished
the lights. Only the glow from the
potfire filed the room. Beyond.
where the show was on, there was
. dim. greenish light supposed to
resemble moonlight dltering
through jungle verdure.
The music had changed now. The
air vibrated to tympani, the throb
of tom-tom, the unvarying note OF
q beaten gong. the shrill clash OF
cymbals, the strange sound Of
musical bones.
Jerry's hands were clasped In
unconscious tension as she leaned
forward and watched the scene be-
fore her.
Dark figures emerged from Z
painted forest and gathered round
4 huge pot like the smaller one she
had seen on the table near her.

creatures drag . girl, bound hand
and foot, to the edge Of the fire
where they threw her to the ground
and left her to groan and shrek
while they cast themselves into I

Jerry pleaded.

Jerry sighed.

said after a while.

Shortly they were driving
through high picket fence and up
q rutted road to group Of bark
covered buildings that spread out
from a central hall in the shape OF

he came to the entrance Of one that
bore the sign 'Magnolia" over the
door. Here he parked his car and

The man gave an impression OF
trying to resist but Of being fas.
cinated against his will. He cast
anxious glances about the table now
and then and Jerry heard him ad-
monish the girl to "stop it." Once

Jerry looked around at the

not left her smooth young cheeks.
