agement the sales of Thompson
Type Casters have been extended
in foreign and domestic markets,
and the machine has been inn
proved in design and flexibility. par
ticularly through making possible
the casting of AZ and AZ point sizes
of popular type faces.
The MonotVpe Company has now
through the purchase of the
Thompson plant and assets ac.
quired all of the trade names and
any patents covering Compositype,

Chain Banks Grew

The recent growth in chain banks,
according to the Comptroller of the
Currency j. w. Pole In an address
here today before the Ohio Bankers
Association, is due to the lack of
trained executives in the banking
field. The lack OF banking talent,
declared the comptroller, and the
large number OF small banks must
lead to various forms Of centralized
eortrol.
II may said that a large number
af hank failures outside of the
metropolitan centers during the past
Few years Is sn indication there are
more banks than bankers, p Mr..
Pole declared. THE scarcity OF
/. trained executives-that is to say
: executives with that degree of man
arerial ability required by modern
Tonditions-may be one of the un-
AerIying reasons for the rapid
spread of branch banking and group
or chain banking ideas among bank.
ers and business men.
cas- the business OF banking is
growing at a more rapid pace than
executives are being developed to
operate each unit bank as a
seuarate institution. 1t would seem
to be an almost natural and logical
outcome that this scarcity OF talent
-sUvilI lead to a more centralized forr2
of banking control.
THE very nature of our economic
life which expresses itself through
corporation organizations and In
mass production will naturally de-

standards and type of banking SER
Vices which have been demonstrated
az sound and efficient by the larger

while tie need for a higher
training is increasingly demanded
for making commercial loans upon
Inc proper credit basis, 1t is in the
newer fields of banking--the trust
business and the securities busi-
ness-where technical training and
spaciafized experience are emphati'
cally the essential requirement for
success.
} "It is in these two fields that
there is likely to be the greatest
future expansion in banking and
those banks will maintain the larg'
est growth which equip themselves

not like the apathetic Capt. Aikness,
who, hitherto, had been content to &C
cept whatever instructions Golly had
given him.
Golly bolted the door behind his visitor
and waved him to a seat on the bed.
He never kept more than one chair in
his workroom. He found that the prac-
tice kept down the number of visitors.
I'm going to tell you something
that's very important, Golly," said Ak
ness, but Golly held up his hand.
You're ratified" he said. II know
all about that" He searched his waist
coat pocket for his cigarettes. All the
afternoon you've been making a noise
like tin can full of peas"
I'm no use whatever on shore"
growled the captain. I'm a sailor, and
I feel like a fish out of water. Why
can't you let me go over to Holland and
buy that boat? They want $4,000 for
her, but know very well that they'd
on the Dutch register could sail her
under their flag, with Dutch crew.
She does nine knots"
And destroyers do 35-don't forget
that" said Golly calmly. I'm not 60
ing to throw away 100000 to give you
the pleasure of making me seasick."
Where have you managed to hide
the Chinks?" asked Aikness' irritably
"I know nothing Of what is going on
nowadays"
They're well hidden" said Golly
Don't worry about them. I've barged
'em all down by Blackwell. Nobody's
going to search any more barges.
They're safe"
IT didn't know you'd bought an
other barge" said the captain in sur
prise.
You don't know what I'm doing"
said Golly smoothly. MY mind works

Golly. She's no more dippy than I
am. She talks nationally. Now let me

Of paper, and began to write rapidly.
He had an extraordinary knowledge
of London and he frequently mentioned
places that were unknown to Aikness,
but it happened that the captain was

had in mind on this occasion.

He looked thoughtfully at Aikness.

"A what?" asked the astounded cap

But I'll find that out"
He scrubbed something on the paper
and studied the pages of little book
that lay on the table.
IF It's Friday. we'll make q wonder

slapped his knee excitedly. I've got a
feeling it'll be Friday-what was you
doing in the war, Captain?"
The question took the mans breath
away.
"You know what was doing in the
war;" he growled. II served two years
with the navy"
"Jennett and Mortimer served with
you, didn't they?"
Aikness nodded.
"Jennett and Mortimer are looking

They'll show us the way to Brazil or
the Argentine or any old place we say
we want to go, and they'll settle Us
there and be very glad to settle"
Aikness was thinking that Golly had
gone mad, and the little man must
have read his thoughts, for suddenly he
slapped the captain on the back and
Think I'm touched, do you? But
you don't know me. Aikness. You
thought I was touched when I put up
that bank job in st. James street; you
thought I was touched when I said We
could get the manager to open the
bank in Lothbury, without any fuss. !"
Suddenly his exuberance left him and
he looked at the captain glumly.
"I'd like to get Mr.. John Wade,
though-get him fair and square, in
a room like this, only me and him
pegged out on the floor, and hundreds
and hundreds of big sheets Of blotting-
paper to catch the blood"
He laughed shrilly, and, frozen with
horror, Aikness for the first time really
understood this odd little man who
quoted Greek and Latin and OCCASION
ally scraps Of Arabic.
Whats your scheme OF blackmaIl-
ing the government" Aikness asked.
He was anxious to turn the converse
ton into more pleasant channels. He
knew that the fate designed for John
Wade would be his, If Golly Oaks sus-
pected for one moment the scheme at
the back of his mind.
It was much more than Informed.
It was complete, except for one i'm
portant particular-he had yet to de-
eide the moment when he should turn
his companion over to the police. What
was the moment to strike?
Perfect timing, eh?" chuckled Golly,
and Aikness nearly jumped from the
bed at what he thought was remark
able piece Of mind-reading. That's

He waited for the captain to speak.
Evidently Aikness was waiting for a
lead.
he said at last. I'VE can't stick here

"The trouble with you is wander

There was a certain deadliness in
his pleasantly that made the other man
shiver.
"You stay here. captain what-your-

He had grown suddenly excited and
walked up and down the room, gesticu-

served to betray the intensity of this
newly awakened emotion.

President Hoover invites the nations of the world to participation in the proposed Worlds Fair at Chicago planned to be held in 1883, the date ot Chicago's centenary.
 This invitation will be generally accepted which means that the proposed Worlds Fair and cee- braton will be the greatest affair of the kind ever held in human history.
 The progress of the world-the material and industrial and sociological progress at leaS-dur1ng the past century has been more tremendous, more impressive more contributive to the material and spiritual wel-being of the than all the progress made by the race through all preceding centuries of mortal aspiration, struggle and achievement.
 In literature and art alone it be said that the present is not the superior in every respect to any other in the experience of humankind. There are immortal books immortal sculptures, immortal architectures of other ages which may not be sur passed in this or in any other age because they express and proclaim the fnality of mortal genius. But in practically all other relations the present has been said, is the greatest age in human his tory
 Irrefutable evidence of this fact will be present in Chicago in the year of grace 1883. Every nation will join with the United States in exhibitions of the past century'S progress in mechanics in law and medicine, in social developments in trade achievements, in inventions in scientific discovery and accomplishment, in art and drama in sport and agrarian super progress from the point primitive fail to the matchless mechanical servants of the harvest of the present day
 All this will be acclaimed at Chicago upon the occasion referred to- From this latest world con- gress, representative of the progress of the race through one hundred years will result new knowl- edge, new inspirations, additional strong impulse to win greater achievement
