his attitudes, he had pronounced
convictions as the result of intelli-
gent observation and clear think
ing, and always one could differ
with Mr.. Emmelmann without los
ing an affectionate regard for him.
Mr.. Emmelmnan had strongly de-
veloped humane instincts and SYM
pathized deeply with the less for
tunate and the great working
masses of humanity, whom he re-
garded as the salt of the earth,
while sympathetically taking into
account their frailties and their
natural limitations.
While benevolent in disposition and
sanely conforming to his environ
ment, he believed there were wrongs
in the social arrangement to be
cured only through fundamental
and scientifically applied remedies.
Mr. Emmelmann was distinctly OF
that class of men we sorely miss in
our daily or casual contacts, appre-
ciated for his sound character, his
sane philosophy of life and his
open-minded vision.

FOREST fires and short crops
L prove that we have had a
l,fought, but what does the rise OF
the Great Lakes prove?
Along the coasts of these inland
seas are parched fields and withered
orchards. There ought to be a re-
cession of the water as well, but
there isn't.
The lakes are higher than they
have been for many years-so high,
indeed, as to threaten loss of prop
erty.
At first thought, this seems an
anomoly, if not miracle, but the
explanation is simple if you know it.
Last year, there was a heavy rain
fall all over the water shed Of the
Great Lakes, and it is just finding
it's way into them. 1t takes rain
water a long time to trickle through
so, 100 or 2C0 miles of sod and leaf
molG.
1t takes still longer if the water has
to soak down through many feet of
top soil and then pursue its weary
way through deep beds of gravel or
sand.
Engineers who have made a study
of underground water are well
aware of its slow progress.

Han1pering the Bank
THERE are several stories as to
I what started the stampede.

d N1EFGE are several SCOr1eS as TO
L what started the stampede.
According to one, President Lewis
went to the hospital to have car
buncIe removed, whereupon the
rumor spread that he had died.
According to another, an irate
citizen, who had been refused loan,
went to a speakeasy for consolation,
and having found it, concludes that
it was his mission in life to under
mine the banks good name.
If President Lewis was dead and
if the bank was unable to make
loans for lack of funds, it followed
that the depositors should lose no
time in getting their money. Like
soldiers of the Light Brigade no
one bothered to reason why.
Other banks had failed, though
supposed to be solid, and this one
might.
Depositors swallowed the bunk as
quickly and as enthusiastically as
they would if some one had
promised them &c per cent.
Pronounce the word money" and
your average American goes off
haIf-cocked, whether in an effort
to make or break some scheme.
That is the background of our
crazy speculations and useless
panics.
We can be fairly sane with re-
gard to everything else. We can
build cities. adapt ourselves to new
devices and even go into war itself,
without losing our balance. But when
money is at stake, especially the
easy kind, we lose our heads.

Egg Altitude

IRON James L. Norton: your
Il effort to invest that New Jersey
hen with immortality, because she
took trip in an airplane and laid
an egg 1000 feet above sea level
is laudable, but misguided.
There is a city in Colorado called
Denver. If remember my geography,
the city is more than 5000 feet
above sea level. 1t is my under
standing that the hen is not exactly
unknown in that section of the
country and that on occasions eggs
are produced.
These facts being more or less
irrefutable, I fail to see where your
New Jersey hen is entitled to any
extraordinary distinction. Indeed, I
should suggest that you tell her to
go out and get reputation for her
self"
Comment: I suspect there is q
technicality involved here and next
to fried eels there is nothing I have
worse. Even so, the New Jersey hen
may still be the champion.
The egg was not discovered until
the plane was at a height of 1000
feet. When it was laid is another
matter. The plane went much
higher. And, besides, what's two or
three thousand feet between hens'

Plan for Family Expenses

prepared by the United States Department
OF ARricuture.)
The family needs to be kept "toe-
ing the mark" In connection with re-
cent resolutions about saving. 1t is
an excellent idea to pick out some
definite goal not too far off-and con-
centrate on saving for that. Is some
member of the family graduating
from school or college next June?
There will undoubtedly be extra ex-
penses to meet for that occasion-new
clothes, gift to mark the red letter
day. perhaps a trip out of town If
the boy or girl is being educated
away from home. There's one object
for saving, in which some or all the
persons in the house may participate.
Or a wedding may be scheduled for
the near future-a momentous event,
and expensive. An automobile may
be greatly desired by all the family,
if possible before the summer time,
so that pleasurable and healthful
weekend trips may be taken. Per-
haps some of the cost of the usual
vacation may be diverted to this end,
and other opportunities found for
saving towards it. Not everyone
knows that by paying cash at the
time of purchasing a car cost is
saved that is concealed in installment
buying, for a charge is made over
and above the regular interest on the
deferred paymentS.
Perhaps you already have car,
radio set, piano, or a talking ma
chine, some of the detectives many
people save for. You want to take
a trip somewhere, or give the whole
family a good vacation at the sea-
shore or in the mountains Every
body should want to cooperate in
saving for a general holiday. Esti-
mate the cost of the kind of vacation
that is wanted, and if the amount is
more than you can reasonably hope
to have ready by next July or August,
see il some less expensive plan would
do equally WELL If you can't afford
a hotel, there are country boarding
houses, or summer cottages, or camp

either plain colors or gay prints. 1t
seems that fiat crepes are becoming
immensely popular, both for the max
ing of the one-piece frock and for the
fashioning of the coat or ensemble.
Rayon print-crepe is ideal for the
little jacket suits, such as hold the
center of the style picture for spring.
At the moment those with dark back
grounds and tiny cravat patternings
are the smart item.
AS to rayon voiles, one cannot with
stand the temptation of buying an
extra dress pattern, every now and
then, for they are so alluring in their
battling sheerness and beautiful col
orings Anyone who has purchased

Hanging ten feet above the heads of

which contained combination of tele

close to his ear, was able to catch the
words of Henry Cabot Lodges nomi-

The bureau of home economics of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture recommends that savings of
this kind be included in every budget
and that the weekly or monthly
amounts fixed upon be set aside with
absolute regularity. At the end of
the period of saving you can tell
whether the amount estimated is suffi-

you will be even more eager to save
again for the following season.
