Antiseptic Cream.

You will find a great many so-called
"medicated" creams at beauty and drug
stores lavishly advertised as a cure-all
for skin blemishes. AS far as ! have
priced them, these begin at 81 for very
small jar. see no reason why one
should waste ones money on any OF
these when one can make a perfectly
good jar of medicated cream IN the
following way:
Buy an ounce of zinc ointment from
the druggist. Mix this with either one
or two ounces Of ordinary pure cleans
ing cream. Once day open the pores
of your skin by holding hot wet cloths
over the face until the skin Is quite
pink, then dry quickly and rub fairly
generous amount Of this zinc mixture
over the face. Rub thoroughly so as
to work as much as possible into the
pores. think an ideal time to do this
is just before you're having your bath:
All the time that you are bathing and
dressing, up to the very last minute
when you are ready to do your face and
slip On your dress, this antiSeptic ONT
ment can be at its. work. Do not wash
off. simply rub off whatever the sur
face of the skin contains. Leave 1t, In
fact AS foundation cream and pow
der thickly over it. A certain very
small amount will be left on the skin,
which is good thing.
1t very frequently happens that the
elin reinfects itself. When this is Sc
rious the only thing to do is to go to a
skin specialist. When the surface of
the skin is broken out each one Of
these ugly little eruptions contains
germs. These spread across the skin,
lodge in other oil glands, infect these
and cause further eruptions. Hence
the value of covering the face with
an antiseptic.
This treatment is only for very mild
cases, since severe ones need medical
care. Zinc ointment alone is too heavy;
it Is much more easily worked into the

Not So Perfect.

Just what would satisfy us, give us a
comforting feeling in rearing child?
How good must child be to be a good
child? He must be clean as a new plat
ter, prompt as a clock, interested and
well prepared in his studies. He must be
unfailingly polite, unselfish, considerable
of our feelings. He must do a good job
from the time he rises promptly at the
first call to the hour of his retiring,
promptly at the first signal. He must
give nobody any trouble, anytime, any,
where. anyhow
Well, children never come like that
Childhood is growing time and all
growth is uneven, crude, and very I'M
certain. 1t is very uncomfortable for
both sides of the matter, the grower
and the impatient watcher. Growing
| fatigues one and WEAKNESS brings on
tears, moods, temperS and more.
Growth has many phases and it is
easy to label them poor conduct" and
make them the cause of unrighteous
discipline. A child learning to use
language can be very annoying. He
repeats the same sound over and over.
he sings the same song, recites the
same meaningless ditty endlessly or
practices blood curdling yells, boots and
screeches. His rapid change Of view
! point takes ones breath. He will be a
deep sea diver today and search the
waste heaps for iron and wire and
rubber tubing for an outfit but the
morn finds him preaching the gospel
of idleness from the sunny roof of the
| woodshed.
Up and down goes the curve of growth
| in amazing leaps and falls. Sometimes
all signs disappear and he sits silently
and motionless and to all appearances
dull and dumb. Suddenly he bursts
into action and presents another phase.
such a child I never saw, Here to-
day. gone tomorrow. Do you think he
is all there?"
All there, every bit of him. He IS
growing. You have in mind the good
child who is no trouble to anybody, not
even himself. and he most happily does
not exist.

FALL BUSINESS ACTIVE,

Following an unusually active Sum-
mer, business entered the early Fall
season confident that conditions will
remain satisfactory throughout the re-
manning months of the year. says Frank
Greene in his monthly business review
in Nations Business Magazine, just
published by the Chamber Of Commerce
of the United States.
There was little slackening Of In
dustry during the Summer months. he
writes, adding: This was especially true
of the heavy industries, iron, steel, au-
tomobile, farm implements, machine
toools and so on, all Of which operated
their plants right up to the beginning
of Fall at the highest levels of the
season on record. The lighter industries
maintained fairly high pace, although
some, such as cotton goods manufac-
turing, felt it necessary to curtail pro-
duction somewhat to avoid pling ur
excessive stocks.
LAS Fall drew near, however, the
textiles and other light industries were
observed to be generally increasing theil

BANKING MERGERS
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Delegates to National Convention
Interested in Recent
Combines.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calf, Septem-
Der 3O-''Sure, this years bankers con-
vention Is going to be poppy meet
ing-an open, candid. frank, free-for-
all discussion concerning the present
movement in banking, the bankers at
titude toward the public, the place Of
national banks in the changing order
is likely to lead" said Craig B. Hazel
wood, vice president of the First Ma
tional Bank of Chicago and president
of the American Bankers Association.
This Chicago banker has the typical
banker look-before he speaks. He Is
reserved, a bit gruff looking, empha-
sized by large, heavy jaw. But when
he greets one the stern banker attitude
vanishes. The calm exterior of this
heavy-set, dark-complexioned leader Is
in striking contrast to the seething
activities below the surface Of things
in the American banking field today.
AS one moves about listening to dele
gates from different sections of the
country while they discuss in private
their own particular banking prob
lens, one gains the impression that
most of the discussion so far has been
concerning the merger movement up
to date as it has affected local COM
munities, aud the difficulties which ma
tional banks are working under in COM
petition with the State banks and trust
companies.
On the train coming out I met a
banker from Arkansas. He had been
a country banker for 80 years. He knew
every one within 80 miles Of his town.
He knew every family-their financial
condition, the number Of children, the

tail of their family life seemed to be
familiar to him. He had lived with
them, called them by their first names
and had loaned hundreds of thousands
of dollars to them on straight notes
from his bank.
Country banking is not what it used
to be-" he said IT used to make plenty
Of money. But that day Is past. Many
Of the lines in which the bank made
profits have disappeared. Witness the
farm mortgage business-that Is gone.
The exchange Of checks and drafts has
gone. Active insurance men have eaten

II have come to the conclusion that

towns are going to find it harder and
harder to make profit in the future.
I have always been in favor of the unit

now as was. My experience has led me
to the conclusion that commercial bank

FURTHER BANK MERGERS
ARE EXPECTED SHORTLY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 30.-Since
groups of Eastern bankers left for the
Pacific Coast week or two ago there
have been DEVELOPMENTS in the banking
world that will make them sit up and
take notice when they read their nome
papers on their arrival in San Fran
cisco for the annual convention which
begins Monday.
These have occurred in this city,
notably the overnight purchase OF the
Corn Exchange Bank by the National
CITY Bank; in New York State, where
the Marine Midland combination has
made further additions to its list; In
Detroit, where five important instltu-
lions have just merged, and IN the
Northwest. An effort to bring togetner
a group of North Carolina banks seems
to have missed fire, but more OF TINS
will be heard later.
The banker who goes away on a
long journey these days is likely TO
come back and find that his instltu-
ton Is In the control of other people.
The new interests that are making a
speciality of chains of banks do not
waste time in coming to an agreement
with majority stockholders, and they
have not haggled much over prices.
The movement to integrate banking
institutions Is proceeding with the mo-
mentum that has characterized similar
tendencies in the past in the fields OF
the railroads, industrials and, more re-
Gently, in the public utilities. 1t Is ex-
pected to be stimulated by legislation
by Congress this Winter to be FOL
lowed up by the different states tnat
desire to have their banking institu-
lions as well fortified as those with
national charters.

LABOR PAPER DEMANDS
PROBE OF BRITISH BANK

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 30-This weeks
rise in the bank rate has aroused
demand among labor ranks for an
inquiry into the policy of the Bank OF
England. Labor men regard the in
crease in the rate as imperilling the
governments efforts to cope with I'M
employment The matter is likely TO
come up for discussion at the annual
Labor Party Conference opening IN
Brighton on Monday.
The labor organ, the Daily Herald,
referring to the increase in the rate,
says editorially today: I'VE have had
seven years of blind adherence to
bankers policy-seven years which have
landed us in the present situation,
situation which, for those who under
stand the effect the banks action must
have upon the country and above all
upon the governments efforts to deal
with the unemployment problem, can
only be called desperate.
us this last staggering blow to the
hopes of successfully accomplishing any
of the tasks to which the government
and nation have set their hands to be
received without examination and with
out challenge? In the interests OF the
whole labor movement, industrial and
political, another say out of the pre-
sent financial position should be found.
To discover that way it is imperative
that searching investigation of the
whole policy of the Bank of England
should be set afoot without delay"
