Many Automobiles Junked,

There were $1,000 motor vehicles
scrapped in Minnesota in 1927 and
66,757 new machines registered. In
the whole United States there were
1,S25,5S1 machines scrapped and
2,623,53S new machines registered,
according to figures collected by the
American Road Builders association.
By comparing the number of scrapped
cars with the total registration, it is
figured that the average life of car
is eight and one fourth years.
Most of the scrapped cars are parti-
ally salvaged. Wrecking companies
furnish parts from junked cars for
use in repairing other cars. Many
motors are installed in boats or used
as stationary power plants. Other

STUDENT AT FRANCES.
E. WILLARD HOSPITAL.
is VISITING AT HOME:

Miss Victoria Jaglowski, a student
nurse at the Frances E. Willard Ma
tional Temperance hospital in Chi
cago, Is spending two weeks vaca--
tlon at the home of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Jaglowski, near Rut--
ledge. Miss Mildred Lauterback of
Rankin, ILL.,, classmate of Miss Jag
lowski, is her guest the last week of
their vacation.
Miss Jaglowski informs the Amer
lean that girls who may be interested
in going into training at this hospitaT
can write for information to Miss,
Elizabeth Miller, R NJ, superintend-
ent, 645 S. Central Avenue, Chicago
A recent circular gotten out by the
Frances e. Willard National Temper
ance Hospital, describes the institu-
ton as follows:
This institution opened its doors
for the reception of patients at 341I
| Cottage Grove Avenue, March 16, 1886
under the name of the National Tenn
perance Hospital.
In 1910 it was made a memorials
to Miss Willard and the name was
changed to The Frances e. Willard
National Temperance Hospital.
1t was founded to demonstrate the
principle that the administration OF
| alcohol is not necessary in the prac-
tice Of medicine and surgery and
throughout the forty-two years of it's
existence it has adhered strictly to
this principle.
In spite of severe financial strug-
giles it has met with surprising sue
cess. Beside administering to the
sick and suffering and graduating
lated property valued at $350,000 with
comfortable surplus invested in Sc
curities.
This could not have been done with
out the support of a staff of competent
loyal physicians and surgeons and the
strictest economy in administration
Before moving to it's present site-
it has occupied four locations, the
last being 10 South Lincoln Street
where a substantial building had been
erected and occupied for twenty-five
years.
At the beginning of 1928 plans were
well under way for the erection of a
new building on adjacent ground
This was made necessary by the in
creasing demands of the staff for en-
larged facilities.
Then it was learned that the Austin
Hospital was to be sold and every eff
fort was directed toward securing it.
The movement succeeded and that
handsome building, beautiful in 10
cation and modern in equipment and
architecture became the home of The
Frances E. Willard Hospital.
The economical way-buy or sell
| is to use American Want Ads.

Savings Advertising.
Boston News Bureau.)


 Once the banker pretty much hermit compared to his attitude and his temperament of today. He stayed in sem-secluson in man. ner he formal. retieent, rather crusty. Bus- ness could come to him when it had to-as it first did to the godsmths,-but it was not dig nifed to go after it. And this applied also to the rank and file of the offiealdom of savings banks even though these professedly intended to serve the masses rather than the classes . But sem all that there is now a profound change.
 That transformation has been emphasized in savings bank conference just held in New York under American Bankers Association aus piees. In q dozen years since 1915 there has been q revolution in the relationship between savings banks and public. Most of the change has come since 1920. In nutshell, as pointed cut by the educational committee chairman of the New York State Association, the average savings bank, instead of simply accepting such deposits drifted in, the potential depositor. II makes the contact easy for him Particularly it adyertises
 The depostor has responded His capacity 10 do first expanded by wartime wages National prosperity of the past several years with maintenance of wages at a relatively high level under the new philosophy of employment has continued that capacity. The Liberty Loan drives likewise first sowed widely the seeds of savings The banks have learned to carry in such cultivation
 Hence such brand new characterization pos sible the following "The banks are going to the people rather than asking the people to come to the banks. Savings banks advertising literally, educationally and effectively. Formerly they did neither The personal service depart ment has come into being the most advanced step these banks have ever taken. Savings banks more human, getting the point of contact and cultivating the personal element never before'
 The change is more than metropolitan. In any small-ety newspapers may be found the new thrift appeals, effectively presented, and by the savings departments of national banks and trust companies as well of savings banks proper Likewise an abundance of miscellaneous appeal in eyidenee,-posters, literature novelties, etc
 In which connection it is significant that in this feld-as i'll many others-offical testi- mony declares that in promoting savings the banks have found the newspaper to be distinctly the most effective medium. The savings banks have become artieulate: also they have learned how best to enuncate their thrift message

HOOVER IN INDIANA FIGHT ALSO.

Secretary Hoover is out to smash the Favorite Sons Not only was he running against the late Senator Willis in Ohio but he has filed against Senator Watson in Indiana, and, it is said he did not do so until his packers were convinced that he could win at least seventeen delegates in that State. Under the Indiana rule if any one gets majority of the 33 delegates in the primary the entire delegation must vote for him in the convention.
 If MT Hoover succeeds in carrying a majority of the delegates in both Ohio and Indiana he will probably get the Republican nomination Of course that estimate is based upon the assump- tion that most of the New England Middle At

TENNESSEE BEATS THE TEXAS TOAD
 STORY.

When it to long sleeping, Tennessee refuses to be outdone. The horned toad of Texas that lay in a cornerstone without food or drink for thirty-one years is a transient thing when compared with snake eggs that were in state of delayed incumbaton for seventy-seven years. sealed in tree at Tulahoma, Tennessee. Time, the weekly "newsmagazine,' describes the dis coyery this way:
 Strong men came and split the tree,
 exposing an iron spike of the kind first
 used in the construction of the Nash
 ville Chattanooga X St Louis Railroad
 in 1851. Around the spike de-
 cayed hole about five inches long, in
 which lay the tough rubbery snake
 eggs Having the good of Tulahoma at
 heart, down 10 the lowest snake, Mayor
 W. J. Davidson took the eggs to his
 heated office and gave them place in
 the sun, atop his desk. Last week he
 noticed the box vibrating He looked
 into it and found seven infant snakes
 crawling about, frisky and healthy after
 an incubation period of seventy-seven
 years. The seYenty-seven years were
 calculated from the hand forged spike
 and by the rings of the tree
 Of course there be questioning that they were eggs they found in the tree that made the Mayor of Tullahoma see snakes II was in Tennessee, you know, and Tennesseeana are, political speaking (and every Tennessee Mayor speaks politically, finder dry.
