EYE ENDS
CADET DREAM

Here is a story of a boy that
pinned his hopes on an Army
career, and, in line with that
ambition, worked as few young
sters will at the routine of the
high school cadets to perfect
himself in every way to attain
that goal-West Point.
Several days ago George was
practicing the maneuver known
as army Hopping with his rifle in
the rear of his home in the 1900
block Connecticut Ave. N. W.,
when a protruding stick on the
ground pierced his right eye, re-
sulting in injury which necessi-
tated its removal.
And right at this point his
fellow cadets are asking the ques-
ton:
"Why cannot George be
awarded the highest cadet honor
that can be conferred by the
school, as, after all, was he not
injured in line of duty"

OUR BANKING LAWS
Tucson Starr

Information from Phoenix
states that James B. Button,
state superintendent of banks,
will refer to the next state legis
lature 10 recommendations for re
vision of~the state banking laws.
Among these recommendations
will be adoption of California's
code in reference to segregating
savings deposits from CONNER.
cial deposits. prohibition of lend
ing money on any kind of . SO
cond mortgage, requirement of
five directors for bank with
removal for irregular attend
ance, q requirement that each
stockholder make oath that he
has . net worth in excess of
double the amount Of his hold
ings, or not be permitted to own
stock; consent of the state super
intendent to borrow money with
provision that rediscounts and
borrowed money be limited to
the amount approved in com
meudation of bank collection
code as approved by the Amer.
ican Bankers association, and q
revision of the present code to
place the ratio Of deposits to
capital and surplus on q sliding
scale.
These proposed new measures
in revising the banking code
have been presented to the leg
islative committee Of the legis.
lature handling banking affairs.
Each Of the proposals is excel
lent and as far as the writing OF
new laws can so do, will help
protect the depositors in state
banks.
But what good will it do to
write new laws, if they are no,
enforced. or left to the mere dis
cretion of the state superintend
ent of banks for enforcement!
There are laws now which are
designed to protect the interests
of the depositors which have, in
the past, been rather poorly en-
forced. In some instances lack
of enforcement and competent
bank examiners have caused
losses to depositors, or to inno
cent stockholders.

Both these costumes illustrate

which viii characterize all fall

ing individuality.
The daytime costume with
long sleeves is such a new type
that it will be more exclusive
than popular, though it is dis
tinctly wearable and can fit
gracefully into the wardrobe of
any woman. It is for formal
daytime wear and Is of black
silk crepe with top Of white and
gold lame, which is a very soft,
sheer metal cloth. This frock
illustrates an interesting detail
that will be good for fall. the
repetition of the bow treatment
Of the blouse on the skirt. The
one-sided I1eckline is smart and
becoming. The bell-shaped
skirt has high scanning and
closely.fitteH lines.
The evening gown photo
graph is also of lame, but don't
get the idea that this lovely
metal cloth will be the most
popular of evening or formal
fabrics, for it will be seen in
small numbers in comparison to
chiffon or satin. though it's ex-
tremely smart and makes an ex.
cellent appearance. A match
ing wrap is worn over this
gown which has a medium low
decollete and normal waist line.
AL the edgings of both gown
and waist length wrap are cut
in the daisy design Of the ma
terial. Notice that the lines Of
gown are very slim and straight
and that it is ankle length with
an almost even hem-line. It is
a tiny bit shorter in front to
make walking easy. The color
is pale blue and silver.
