Banking Facts For
Boys and Girls

SST EFT me show you some of the checks the
- bank has returned to me-" suggested Carls
father one day, and he secured from drawer
checks the bank had recently returned. Turn
ing one of them over, he showed Carl how the
person to whom the check had been made had
signed his name on the back.
why did he do that?" asked Carl
THAT is to show that he receives the money.
1t is my receipt from him and the bank guar
antees that it did right in paying out my funds
to this man without his signature on the
back the banker had no right to pay out the
funds. In other words, there must be two genu-
inc signatures, both of which the bank knows.
or any check before it is paid the signature OF
the maker on the front and the signature of
the person who receives the money from the
bank on the back"
check in the pile here is one with two names
on the back of it, and you didn't make it to
both of these men,"
NO made it out to the man who frst
signed his name. He evidently did not wish to
go to the bank to cash the check and so he
Endorsed it by signing his name on the back
and gave it to this other man whose name you
see below.
"The second man took it to the bank, and
being known to the banker, he received the
money because the banker had the receipt OF
the man to whom the check was made and also
the receipt of the man to whom the money was
paid. As long as the bank knows that all three
signatures are genuine it is safe in paying out
nay money. Sometimes the banker Is not fla
miliar with the first signature but does know the
man who signs it the second time and IN that
case asks the man to whom he pays the money
TO guarantee the first signature"
How many people could sign check on the
back?" asked Carl.
His fathers reply was rather surprising to
the boy Just as many as could find room to
sign their names and explained the father, ut
sometimes happens that before check Is final
ly paid at the bank, there are several names
indorsed upon it. That means that more than
one person has used the check the same as
cash.
'Let US take as an example this check you
found with two names on it. The check was
made out to E. A. Allen. You see that he signed
&c on the back but the signature underneath his
name is the name of the grocer. Evidently MIR.
Allen purchased some groceries and gave this
check in payment for them. Let US suppose now
Efat the grocer owed some money to the dray-
man and instead of paying him cash, he gave
him this check. That would be perfectly le-
climate and the drayman could afford TO &C
cept it just the same as cash. However, ne
would need to sign his name below the name Of
The grocer.
Lets suppose that he owes the garage man
some money for q new tire and instead OF pay
ing him In cash, he turns over this check to
the garage man. The drayman would Of course
have to indorse 1t and the garage man would
have TO indorse 1t before he could turn it over
10 some one else or could cash it at the bank
So, just 80 long as each person who has the
check signs his name on the back and his
signature Is genuine, 1t makes no difference how
many names are there"

WHEN Dave and Betty reached the tennis

was already there and an unusually large

soon as Dave appeared. several fellows invited
him to play.

indicated Madge. One of the courts was va

most OF the spectators drifted that way.

to watch you play, and they viii only see me
and Bettyl Isn't It shame?"
But I'VE changed my mind" said Dave. I'm
going TO play with you. Betty is going to watch
us for the time being"
"Ohl" cried Madge. I'm so thrilled! It's
awfully good of YOU Dave grinned. and walked
out on the court. Just before Madge took the
other side, Betty came up and grasped her
arm.
"No. don't get oft-heartedr" she said grimly.

It must be confessed that Dave was enjoying
his position. Across the net was the prettieSt
girl at the resort, and he was to give her
tennis lesson with half Of the other guests at the
place there to see. 1t was q situation to please
any young mans vanity.
They began to knock the balls back and
forth in gentle practice. Dave had fine con-
tempt for the tennis ability Of most girls, but he
soon saw that Madge was no novice with
racket. She gripped it firmly and surely, and
the easy drives that she sent over stayed very
close to the top of the net. Moreover, her move

awkward strainings and fiutterings that he ex-

Dave took position much closer to the serv-
ice line than ne would have taken against a
masculine opponent, and when Madge rising
high on her toes sent over a singing first serv-
ice, it caught him nat-footed. He hastily re-
treated to the baseline as they prepared for the
second point. This time the girl placed a
wtistling serve into the left corner of the court,
and Dave missed it after wild stab.

conscious that the spectators whispering

SORE THROAT?
DON'T CARCLE
This Doctors Prescription Gives
Quicker, Better Relief.

Don't suffer the pain and discom-
fort of sore throat. Use a doctors
prescription called Thoxine guaran-
teed to relieve with the very first
swallow. Gargles and salves are too
slow and if they do relieve, it is usu-
ally only temporary.
Thoxine has a double action-it re-
lieves the soreness and goes direct to
the internal cause. 1t contains no
harmful drugs and is safe and pleas
ant for the whole family. There is
nothing better to stop coughing due
to irritated threats. Just ask for
Thoxine, put up ready for use in 35c.,
Coo, and S1.00 bottles. Money back
if not relieved. Sold by Gonder's and
all other good drug stores.-Adver-
tisement 43-1t.

Chilean Fascists
Arrive in Panama

COLON, Panama Canal Zone,
April ga group of financiers, who
will represent the Chilean fascist
government at the American and
European conferences on nitrate in
the United States, has arrived here.
The Chilean financial mission will
tour the United States and Europe.
Pablo Ramirez, minister of
finance, who heads the commission,
said that his main purpose in rela-
ton to the nitrate situation is to re-
duce distribution costs in view of
the increase in world consumption"
He told how in February, 1927, it
had been possible to produce only
$4,000 tons month. In February
of 1929, 280,0G0 tons were produced.

The following letter, stating tha
"Aelita," Soviet film, had been CEN
sored and rendered Intellectual, was
received by the Daily Worker:
| think that your reviewers opin-
ion about the Russian film, "Aelita,"
is neither just nor competent. What
was said in your review concerning
this picture can be very truthfully
applied to those fragments which
have been shown to US at the Film
Guild Cinema. But the whole is
greater than any of its parts. We
cannot pass any Judgment which is
based on disconnected scenes and
distorted titles. The mutilation of
this film can be accredited to censor
ship-both Russian and American.
In this process the picture has been
shorn of its best parts.
1t was produced in Soviet Russia
in 1921, in time of famine and civil
war. Therefore when Aelita looked
down upon the earth and saw Mos
COW, she saw the detailed scenes of
war and hunger horrors. This ac-
counts for the omission of one of
the best features of the picture
censorship probably on the part of
the Soviet Government. The Soviet
government does not want to create
falsely unfavorable impression in
the foreign countries. Since the
date of the production is not mel
toned, these scenes may lead to a
complete misunderstanding of Rus
sia's living conditions of today and
will give the enemies of the Soviet
Union a chance to jump, with joy
at the further proofs of it's 'lack of
ability" to manage its affairs.
For some reason the roles of the
characters have been also changed.
The character who is introduced }
as a stowaway is in reality Soviet
militia man. The paper that he dis
plays so frequently is not his pass
port, as we are given to understand,
but warrant Of arrest of the
scientist who leaves the earth con-
trary to the wishes of the Soviet
government. Such a change robs
the film of any sense or Conference.
The cutting out of the revolt of
the robots is undoubtedly the work
of the capitalist censorship. 1t leaves
us without the main point of the
picture for the same reason that has
deprived us of some of the most
revolutionary and impressive scenes
in Ten Days That Shook the World"
or "Potemkin."
The picture as lost it's body.
What we can see is but a few of it's
feathers. And after all the Fire
bird was far more brilliant and
beautiful than the feather which
Ivan found.
Comradely yours,
Valentine V. Konin.

novel interpretations"
Dana praised highly the work of
the Workers Dramatic Clubs, the
Blue Blouses, for the inimitable
gusto with which they have thrown
themselves into their work. Through
their efforts" Dana said, "the Soviet
drama is becoming accessible to
workers and peasants in places never
visited by the theatre before. Rural
districts are being covered by these
Blue Blouses, and the theatre is
playing a significant part il the
education Of the peasants"
In his lecture at the Workers
School, 26 Union Square, tomorrow
evening at o'clock, Dana will take
up the first of the four topics which
make up his series, "The Soviet
Theatre" In it he will describe his
impressions, formed by careful
study, Of the new revolutionary dra-
matte art.
In subsequent lectures, on Friday
evenings, at the Workers School,
he will take up, in the order named,
"The Russian Revolution Drama
tized" and "The World Revolution
Dramatized."

Move to Block Action

delay impeachment proceedings
against Governor Huey P. Long,
leaders of the majority insurgent
group in the Louisiana house of rep
resentatives proceeded to organize
today for a speedy hearing of 10
charges of misconduct pending
against him.
By vote of Ga to %, the house
last night upheld its action in seek
ing impeachment of Long after after
receiving an opinion from Attorney
General Percy Saint which declared
the proceedings were legal.
Administration supporters had
protested the entire procedure on
the ground that it did not conform
with a statute of 1855 which, they
said, required that a private citizen
render an affidavit of impeachment
before such action against a high
official could be taken.

Workers Will Expose
Imperialist Plans

The murderous capitalist COMPETE
ton rapidly ripening into armed
conflict, in which American imper-

leadership, finds it's expression in a
reign of union smashing, speed up,
wage cuts and more intensive ex-
ploitation in the United States. In
these attacks upon the workers,
American Imperialism has the ac-
tive aid of the reactionary trade
union bureaucracy, the A. F. of L.
and the socialists. In New York
thousands of workers have already
taken up the capitalist challenge.
The needle workers, after a success

into a new militant union, pledges
to the struggle, and have rid them
selves once for all of the treacher-
Gus leadership.

Says Censors Cut Out College Girls, Curious
Revolutionary Scenes About Poor. Ill After
from the Film, "Aelita" Tour Thru East Side

Ninety college girls, fashionably
clad and rouged, last night boarded
Pullman cars, slouched languidly
into their comfortable chairs and
returned to the swell educational
institutions where they were being
trained "for Life" The girls had
just completed three days of altru-
istic sightseeing on the East Side,
where fancy clothes and expensive
compilations run many risks. Now
it was all over and once more their
minds could revert to the momen-
tous contemplation Of college proms,
sororities, petting parties and similar
pursuits of the delicate daughters of
the upper classes"
The girls came Monday morning
from Smith, Vassar, Mount Holyo1e,
Elmira, Wells, Wilson, Tufts and
Adelphi Colleges. These are fash
ionable female institutions of what
is supposed to be higher learning.
The only working class girls that
ever manage to get in are the cham
ber-maids.
The girls spent three days of ex-
haustive study. They visisted the
Fulton Fish Market and were sur
prised to discover that fish gave off
a smell rather different from the
fancy Partisan toilet waters that
they were accustomed to. They were
going to go to the Bov-c~y, having
heard so much about this romantic
section where hundreds of men actu-
ally on the verge of starvation can
be seen. But someone informed
them that they could really learn
all about the Bowery at the Y. M.
c. A. on C. Third ST., so they went
there instead.
But the girls would not be daunt-
ed. They insisted on visiting Riving-
ton st. personally and glimpsing
poverty in the raw. And of course
they did not forget the charity So
cieties.
Last night the 80 girls were on
Their way back to the academic halls.
They had all felt so sorry for the
ing impeachment of Long after
few days. Many showed the effects
of the terrible strain.
