Stabilizing Prosperity

The Importance OF the group life insurance scheme
which more and more business organizations are adopt
Ing Tor their employees, is shown in figures just issued
by B. A, Page, vice presiden. OF the Travellers Insurance
who announces that approximately SEQ 900 00C
will be paid out this year TO the families OF some $1,000
workers insured under the group plan.
This averages nearly 81 500 per family-a sum that is
larger than the estate left by s. per cent OF the country
wage earners. Thus the wages or salary Of many in
disidual workers have been projected into the future a
year or more beyond death.
The payment OF these sums OF insurance money MOI
only serves TO save many families from suffering; it act
as a strong stabilizcr of the country's prosperity. Eight,
million dollars is no small contribution to the nation

Editorial Comment
The Future Of Banking
e. Nations BuSineSsD

Nations Business
Banking. the scdatc rock Of ages to which dynamic
business was wont to anchor. Is now itself in the midst
OF a process Of radical transformation.
Functtonally. American banks are becoming increas-
ingly unspecialized. Instead Of continuing to concen-
trate on the old-faslioned job Of financing short term
trade transactions. and accepting deposits. national and
state banks and trust companies have become depart
ment stores of finance. They offer not only loan and
deposit facilities to business firms, but also seek to
minister to the entire circle Of financial wants Of the
individual and the corporation. Nowadays. nothing with
a dollar sign is alien to the progressive banks. Mean
time, structurally. banks are changing from small units
OF comparatively slender resources to financial groups
OF giant proportions. Through mergers, INSCRIPTIONS. al
liances. and natural growth the banks arc undertaking
to keep step with business. which is gravitating to an
increasing extent to the large and efficient corporations.
What will the bank of the future be like? The only
sure answer Is that 1t will be unlike the conventional
bank Of the past. It will be more progressive and imagin-
ativc. It will be p~redicated on the notion that change is
the most insistent law Of life. and that the only thing
that the executive can count on is that conditions will
be different.
In order to meet the tremendous changes that arc
taking place. the great banks are searching for exccu-
tivcs who can sense the trends. It once was thought
that an individual had to be long on timidity in order
to succeed as . banker. Being q moss-back was q USE
full qualification. The reverse Is now the case. The
new banker must be progressive and extraordinarily well
informed. Soundness Of Judgment Is the one old-fash-
Toned banking quality which remains at a premium. but
the new banker has learned that that is no longer
synonymous with MISREPRESENTATION.

Our Untruthful Drivers

Automobile drivers as a class are fearfuuly u.tiu:hfui
people, II figures collected by George A. Parker. Massa-
chusctts registrar Of motor vehicles, can be believed.
Registrar Parker declares that out of more than 30 OC
persons Who we're questioned by his office last year after
they had figured IN motor accidents. only six we're truth
!ul enough to admit that they had been driving faster
than 20 miles an hour when the accident happened.
Furthermore. he added. only ono man il the 10000
admitted that he had been at fault.
We don't know just what these figures prove. except
that the average motorist always believes he is right.
And that's not SO hard to believe either.

MORE ABOUT GAINING WEIGHT

MORE ABOUT GAINING WEIGHT
Often u~nderweight people are trou-
bled with mental outlooks which keep
them thin. They may get into such q
habit of eternally worrying over little
things that they cannot avoid It. and
will invent something to worry about
if necessary. One who is continually
thinking Il just know something
wrong is going to happen-am looking
for 1t any minute now" is just In the
frame of mind which prevents q nor
NAL digestion of food. Those who are
tangled up with domestic troubles and
don't know how to obtain harmony in
the home also come under this class.
There is usually one martyr IN every
family who waits upon all the others
and agonizes over the little things
that go wrong, who must sit up after
the others to see that the lights are
out and the doors closed, and get up
early in the morning to pay the milk
man. One who loses too much sleep
is chemically underweight. This kind
OF a person should make a business
of sleeping. just as a baby does.
Some people r underweight be-
cause they prefer soups, coffee, tea
and other liquids. Consequently they
indulge in a taste for these articles. 1t
is not so much that these items of
food are bad as that they take up
room in the stomach which should be-
long to the more nourishing and vital
foods.
When one wishes to drink liquids
it is better to do SO between meal
times rather than start at the Begin
ming of a meal. One cannot gain by
doubling the food intake, although one
may lose by cutting 1t IN half. All we
get when we try to eat twice as much
is indigestion and biliousneSS.
Some people become SO excited and
nervous that they get into the habit
of never eating enough at mealtime.
Nervous children sometimes come un-
der this class, as do the millions of
shop girls and office workers who can
miss their luncheons quite cheerfully
and feel no hunger whatever. Nature,
always obliging. knows the full capac-
ity Of the stomach. and II 1t is not be-
ing used it accordingly makes the

That Red Menace Again

Edwin Marshall Hadley. OF Chicago. former president
Of the Military Intelligence association. demands that
the senate Investigate communistic propaganda and tho
extent to which it is disseminated in the American pub
lie school system.
There's no real need for such an investigation. but 1t
might not be a bad idea to have it. at that. Perhaps it
would reveal, to some OF our cternally apprehensi:e
super patriots. that the communist menace in this
country is SO slight as to be practically nonresident.
This nation is just about as apt to go red because OF
communist propaganda in its schools as it is TO return
to negro slavery. If a senatorial investigation would
serve to reveal that fact. and thereby deprive a few
professional rcd-baitcrs Of their thunder it might be
a good thing.

Diplomats Started the War

II you eve. wonder how it happened that the murder
( an Austrian archduke by a fanatic Serbian STUDENT
ould plunge all Of Europe into four years Of war. You
night read Emil LadWigs new book, July IA II Will
nli2ftcn you considerably.
Indeed, this is a book that ough; to be read by al pco-
lie who arc interested in preserving the peace OF the
.orld. II presents a terrible. damning picture Of the way
q which a dozen diplomats were able 70 drag their cou'i-
rics into the wors. war in history. 1t ought to be a
farming to the world for generations to come.
Ludwig uncovers no new facts, but he summarizes the
Id facts admirably. Here Is the picture he paints:
A dozen men in different European capitals were play
ng q very interesting gamc-the game Of international
,oltcs. 1t was an insane game, but II had been played
or generations. and the players liked it very much.
In Vienna there was Berchtold. scleming for a war in
he Balkans. In Russia there was Sazonov, looking for
chance to strike Austria and get revenge for an
insult that Austria had dealt Russia some years before
h Berlin there we're Bethnann and JagoW. egsing Berch-
old on. In Paris there was Poincare. playing a deep
anne with the tsar Of Russia. In England there was
3rcy, honestly desiring peace, but bound BY intangible
ccret understandings with the French.
The murder started the ball rolling. All Of these men
vent into action. War drew near. These men grew
frightened and tried to draw back. But they tried only
alf-heartedly. and each effort was followed by a new
move toward war. Worse yet: in each capital tho army
general staff came into power and moved rclcntlessly
or conflict.
The tsar Of Russia assumed a frantic last-lnnnltc cf-
'ort for peace. He would halt Russian mobilization. But
lis general staff informed him that this would be i'm
possible. The machinery could not easily be stopped.
The tsar let himself be persuaded.
rhc German kaiser made a similar las minute effort,
.rying to mobilize on the eastern front only. But his
r,ncral staff. too. overrulcd him. Mobilization, he was
old, once started. had TO 60 forward.
So, with only two or three responsible officials really
wanting war, war came. Ludwi. makes 1t perfectly clear
that II there had been one real statesman in Vienna,
Berlin, st. Petersburg or Paris who really wanted peace.
and who was willing to work for it, there would have
been no war. But such a man was lacking.
Thus the world went to war. 1t went because ITS
diplomats had played their game so long that they had
lost all sense Of values. And millions Of men lost their
lives!
II you ever doubt that some entirely new method Of
handling international relations is impcratively needed
BY the world, read this book. 1t will persuade you.
