Banking Facts For
Boys and Girls.
By John Y. Beaty
Editor the Bankers Monthly

A certain man named Aldeny had been
resident of certain city for three years He
ALWAYS had an account at q certain bank but
the balance in this account was never large.
He worked for wages and did not own any
property.
He wished to buy lot and applied to the
banker for loan. Realizing that he did not
have a credit standing with the bank and 50
could not expect to borrow without an In
dorser, he secured the promise OF friend 10
sign the note with him. The banker knew
the friend but knew that he was man VINO
did not own any property and who did not 90
any banking to speak of. The banker refused
to make the loan.
In this case the bank would not be fully
secured by having two signatures on the note
because both men were of about equal stand
ing. Neither one had any property, and neither
one gave the bank any assurance that pc
would be able to pay the note when 1t was
due In another case, the man who Endorsed
the note had property and credit standing
with the bank SO that the bank knew that It
would be paid even If Mr.. Ainslee was not aple
to raise the money when the note was due.
You win see from these two stories, tnat
where the bank makes loan ON Two name
paper." at least one of those signing the note
must be a person who the bank knows VIII
be able to pay and viii pay the note wnen
it is due.
There are times when persons without prop
erty may borrow from bank with indorsers
who do not own property. When banker
knows two or more men who are earning good
salaries and who have good moral standings
and a good reputation for keeping their word,
he NAV make loan with the signatures OF
these two or more men as his only security.
In this case he is basing his Judgment entrea
on what he knows of the men.

I'm a bit near -sighted. have no trouble at

losing that game, especially because OF the
coincidence of Mr.. Whitney's death, and the
things that were said about that. resolved
that I'd never miss auother goal IKE tnat
I could help it.
my eyes are so good normally that couldn't
use them as an alibi for missing that kick, and
well, just felt awful about the whole bust
ness. SO I said nothing, but just started prac-
ticing with a ghost bah at night. Then
couldn't see the goal posts at all, but had TO
determine my position on the field and learn
to kick from that alone. Then, when you saw
me- and started coming up to the field at
night quit for while. Later tried again,
using regular ball-that was the night before
the team saw those tracks-but went back 70
the ghost ball last night"
"And about those tracks" I interrupted.
s'What is the explanation Of them"
s'Simple" replied Peters. when had
Whitney's shoes, just before the Stadium Day
stunt, took them to q shoemaker and had my
own cleats made exactly like his. thought
IL m1Sut uelp USt-guob SAPCA0tAe@OAs S0PP~SSs
I've been wearing those shoes ever since, but
ordinarily they don't show the firm turf Of
the field.
And the night you called the house I
wasn't really in bed. It was just the old
stunt Of a bunch Of clothes Jumped under the
covers, and the Freshman who answered the
phone was sleepy"
Peters arose, came over, and examined the
bump on my head.
SAY I'm sorry about that old fellow" he
said, with sincere regret in his voice. my
roomie, who caught the ball for me during all
my night practicing. and who was the only
person in on the secret, didn't you last night
until he ran into you. He got quite shaking
up too"
laughed Don't worry about that bump"
said heartily. "Td have taken a much worse
one than that to solve this mystery, and for
the sake of knowing how much work there was
behind that kick that won this game today"
In few days the whole campus knew the
story, for refused to allow Peters to keep it
secret. And while his place in our hall of
fame viii never quite equal that of Stan Whit
ney, it is an enviable one. nevertheless.

How Many Dog Breeds ?

Boys and girls who love dogs and are eagwN
to have one of their own probably do not
realize that there are 189 different kinds Cf
them.
Learned men who study animals say that one
kind of dog is different from another chiefly
in regard to the form and size Of its ears. Acc
cording to this standard they have grouped all
the different kinds of dogs into six classes.
The first of these includes the woh-dogs They
are large rather wild animals living in the
northern countries and generally have big
bushy tails. They are used by the people OF
these lands to draw their sleds over the snow
and ice.
Sheep dogs are common in countries where
sheep are raised in large numbers. They are
used to guard the f1ocks and keep away other
animals, but they are really members of the
wolf dog class themselves
Dogs belonging to the greyhound class are
known to have existed 5000 years ago in
Egypt. They are delicate creatures, long 81
leg and very swift in running.

JOE COOK FUN
ADDS UP AS
GREAT

Joe Cook, master Of irrele.
vancies, has never demonstrated
better his right to the identified.
ton as "a one-man show" Jester
Joe used to so bill himself In
vaudeville and his versatility,
from the time he unfolded his
two-foot asbestos curtain until he
played the exit march on
squeaky violin to be followed with
blare Of exploding guns and
pictures of the Presidents, never
found itself inadequate.
Mr.. Cook and the cadayerous
Tom Howard are at Poli's in
Rain or Shine' and, come what
may. in the Inaugural celebra-
ton schedule, there will be no
light higher than this same Ell.
traction.
The penalty Of being as good
as Mr.. Cook usually means that
such a one Is loaded with
superfluity of atmosphere and
little else in the way Of support
ing talent. Rain or Shine" has
a slender circus theme which,
appropriately enough, is back
ward about asserting itself. With
the assertive Cook and his CO.
comic, Tom Howard, themes are
just so much detail to space out
the allotted span of the show.
Suffice is to say that very or.
dinary girl-and-music show is
made piece of magnificent bur.
lesque through the efforts of
this twain.
Small Ethel Norris nearly stops
the show with her "Oh, Baby"
song. the dancing Rockets do
nicely in an initiative Rasch way
and the theme song. Rain or
Shine" is more than hearable.
Since his last visit. Mr.. Cook has
amplified his serious nonsense.
acalities by adding a spectacular
craftsmanship stunt wherein he
snuffs candles while balanced on
one foot on a slack wire. The
absurdly intricate mechanism.
all designed to convey to a sim.
pleton that he should strike the
triangle at certain passages, is
vastating to a number of stringed
instruments.
Difference to our new President
and good taste-requires us to
concede that the official inaugural
is the ace act of the week. A
lot of us, however, may have
private ideas as to who the weeks
topliner really is.
