kept close to the ice it retains a very
heavy liquid consistency.
Place a generous amount of this
cream into the palm of the right
hand, then rotate the left elbow in
the cupped right hand for a few
minutes. Now straighten the left
arm and massage the cream into the
skin, beginning low on the forearm
and working upward towards the
shoulder. So much for the daily
elbow massage.
The paste for bleaching the ell
bows is made by adding equal parts
Of witch hazel and peroxide to suf-

its removal followed by a nourish-
ing cream massage.
The bleach may be used two or
three times each week, more if you
desire, but the elbow massage will
prove most effective if done each
night before retiring.
One or both of the above men
toned treatments may be used, for
it isn't necessary to use the bleach
unless the elbows appear discolored.

Alongside of these developments there
has been a steady and widespread
movement toward the concentration of
business into larger and stronger

of small banks in the rural communities
is itself an indication that this ire
mendous total is made up Of small de-
poSitS. On the economic side 1t Is rep
resented by the winding up of failed in
situations by receivers. But on the hu-
man side-a side which cannot be
shown In the Government statistics
there are tens of thousands OF wrecked
fortunes, thwarted business ambitions
and broken heaGts No one can reduce
to statistical form the social setback,
the lawsuits, the suicides and the gen.
eral loss of confidence in banking In
those communities which have suffered
bank failures.
In most discussions of our banking
system, including the question of bank
failures. the primary question has been
one of profit and loss on the part OF the
local bank It has been discussion be-
tween bankers for bankers. It has been
an expression of banking opinion. This
is natural because bankers are organ
lied and have the means OF giving voice
to their opinions. The public. which Is
the real sufferer through bank failures,
is inarticulate. It has suffered in si-
lence, because it has no way of formu-
lating or expressing its views. 1t is
true that in q democratic form OF gov
eminent like ours the chosen repre-
sentatives Of the people, both State and
National, are supposed to represent the
public. But in technical held like
banking they naturally listen TO the
mental bodies have been influenced in
banking legislation by highly organized
associations of banks rather than by the
general public interest which cannot
concretely express itself.

100 per cent additional liability.
In other words, the owner OF 81 600
worth cat par value) of national bank
stock is liable to the depositors, in case
of failure Of the bank, for the sum OF
$4,000. This is known as the double
liability. When, therefore, bank fails
in a local community, not only do the
depositors suffer, but the additional
burden upon the stockholders is often
staggering.
AS an illustration of this aspect of
bank failures, the case may be taken
of a certain widow living on small
farm in Georgia who saw an advertise
ment that some stock of a nearby ma
tional bank was for sale. She had, by
virtue of years of Self-denial, accumu-
lated about $1,100, which constituted
her sole fortune. She drove IL miles
through the country to the bank and
invested her entire sum in 10 shares
Of the stock of that bank.
Not many days later the bank failed.
She made a frantic appeal to the
United States Government to help her
get her money back. She received the
reply-and it was the only reply that
could be given-that not only would she
lose the amount of money invested by

And what about the deposition who,
relying on the strength of the bank, de-
posts his money? Within the last
eight years nearly $4,000, 900 900 Of de-
posits have been tied up in failed banks,

each side begins to assume that war will
come No sane person, either in the
United States or in Great Britain, thinks
that war Is possible or conceivable at
present between the United States and
Great Britain. Yet directly the navy
comes into discussion, each side begins to
think what its position would be if war
should break out, and therefore demands
the types of guns or ships which would
give it the victory in the event of the war.

Y row does 1t happen that nearly
six thousand banks have failed
in the United States during the
Il Il last eight years? These have
been years Of great prosperity
and business expansion throughout the
country: There have been no panlcs
and no lack of credit for business enter
prises. Our factories have been produc-
ing in greater capacity than ever before.
In fact, it is within this period that
we have witnessed the amazing de-
ve,opement of what is known as mass
production of goods and commodities.
We shall look back upon these years
as the beginning Of the era OF our
worldwide entry into the fleid OF
foreign commerce. alongside OF an un-
precedented domestic consumption OF
manufactured goods: The general stan.
dard of living of the rank and file OF
our people has been raised to the highest
point in our history. It would there
fore be the normal expectation that our
banks In general reflect this high level
of business prosperity and social COM
fort That such is not the case Is an
indication that something is fundamen-
tally wrong with our system OF banking.
It should be pointed out at the out
set that there has not been in recent
years a single failure of q large city
bank Of the type known as metropolitan
banks. (The City Trust Co. and Clarke
Bros, a private bank, are not classed
as metropolitan banks) We must,
banks operating with smaller capital
funds and situated outside OF the prin-
cipal commercial centers. There were
In the United States in 1921 about
81 900 banks-8, 600 national banks and
%, 900 State banks. This number has
been reduced today to less than $4,000
about $500 national banks and about
18,400 State banks. About one-fifth OF
the banks in existence in 1921 have
failed, this being at the rate OF nearly
three failures for every working day
during the last eight years.
Bank Failures Meaning.
| What is the meaning Of bank fall
ure? Under our traditional system OF
banking every local community had one
or more banks to serve that community.
| A national bank can be organized upon
| $4,000 capital, and In many States
banks can be organized upon capital as
| low as $4,000. Comparing the purchas-
ing power of the dollar with the pre-
war standard we have, in effect, banks
operating upon capital OF less than
| $4,000.
Our people have been educated to
| think that the banks are the strongest
of all business institutions. In the old
days this no doubt was true, and bank
failure in community was something
at which to marvel. In these smaller
banks, therefore, scattered throughout
| the length and breadth Of the land, the
public has placed its commercial de-
posts and its savings. The shares of
stock Of these banks are owned in the
community where they are organized.
In pre-war days the ownership of a
share Of stock in bank, especially

laws, the stockholders in bank are
