the appointment OF the senior
Woodward than was raised by Gov.
Moody in declining 70 reappoint

Banking Facts for Boys and Girls


"oh, mother, isn't that pretty little
bell?"
"Yes, Fred. Would you like to have
one?"
"oh. may have one, mother? Please
buy one for me-
I'VE don't have to buy them, Fred.
These are savings banks and the banker
will give you one II you start savings
account here"
This conversation was the beginning
OF Fred's bank account. He and his
mother went into the bank, deposited a
dollar to Fred's account and the banker
gave Fred a little metal bell that
locked just like the large bell In a
church steeple.
All banks have some form of coin
bank. This little bell was hollow and
1t had hole In the bottom through
which coins might be slipped inside. 1t
was locked so that no one but the
banker could open It. So, when Fred
put a coin through the slot it was Just
about the same as If he had put 1t into
the bank, for he couldn't get it out
again without taking it to the banker,
VINO had the key.
Fred was one Of those boys who al
ways had trouble saving the money re-
ceived. 1t burned a hole in his

When he arrived home he showed the
bank to his father and to his big sister.
Sister wanted to see how it worked, SO
she put dime through the slot. Then
Fred told his dad that it was impossible
to get a coin out after you had put It
even half way through the slot. OF
course, dad had to try 1t, and after he
had inserted half dollar he tugged
and pulled, but he couldn't get 1t loose.
so all that he could do was to push 1t
on through into the bank.
So Fred had nice start on a saw
ings account. He added to this by
placing half Of all the money he re-
ceived into the bank as soon as he re-
ceived it.
Finally the bank began to feel heavy
Fred knew that it was nearly full. He
put in a few more coins and then took
it to the bank. He was eager to learn
just how much money he had saved.

The country boys face was too frank
for him to conceal his disappointment,
but finally he nodded. IAN right" he
said glumly.
Practice ended short time later,
and as frankie walked back toward
the locker room in the school a hand
was laid on his arm. He glanced
around to look into the friendly eyes
of Tom PoloniS, little black-haired
catcher on the team.

nounced. II was watching you throw

boy, you've got stuff In that arm. Won't
they let you pitch?"
Frankie explained what the coach
had told him.
"Well, coach knows his job, but it's
sort of tough on you," said the catcher,
shaking his head. "Pegging them in

silence for while, then resumed. Tell
you what I'll do: I'll show you how

Frankie gazed at the little player with

The Warrington High School base
ball diamond was busy place on these
Spring afternoons. Practice had been
under way for two V ks, the squad had
been cut for the fist time, and Coach
Haggerty was beginning to puzzle over
the problem of lineup for the open
ing game.
This problem was uppermost in his
mind as he sat in the dugout one day,
casually watching Waite Roberts throw
them up to the other boys for batting
practice. He was SO absorbed that he
failed to look around when a tall youth
stalked up to the bench and stood wait
ing expectantly for his attention. The
youth was not member Of the squad,
but he wore a base ball uniform of a
sort. The shirt failed to match the
pants, and the stocking were just stock
ings, but the body under the suit was
rangy and powerful, and the boys face
was rosy with health and rugged with
character.

Most coin banks will take any coin
up to a half dollar. All Of them will
receive paper money. too. There Is a
little round hole near the slot through
which paper money may be pushed.
Coin banks for saving money have
been used for thousands of years. When
you study ancient history you will learn
about Greece. The people of Greece
used coin banks made out of clay. To
get the money out of them they had
to be broken. But the coin banks We
use today are made out of metal and
may be used long, long time.

concealed in your right hand a quarter
To one side of this quarter you have
stuck a small bit Of chewing gum. The
knife Is held in the same hand.
Now, you ask for the half dollar.
After going down into the audience to
receive it, you return to the place where
you are to perform the trick, and while
doing so you attach the quarter to one
side of the half dollar by means of the
small dab Of chewing gum.
And so :. what you really do is to
balance the quarter on the knife blade
and let the half dollar be supported by
the quarter, as shown in the sketch.
If you stand several feet away from
your audience and tilt the knife Slight
ly backwards, it will appear as If the
half dollar actually rested on the edge
of the knife.
After completing the trick, you Sc
cretly remove the quarter and return
the half dollar to its owner.
