PANIC-PROOF BANKS

While the banking and financial reports of Alaska do not reveal it, there banks per capita in the Territory than any other part of the nation And differ ing from the recognized financial institutions these banks are practically unbreakable Not only that but they con- tain the largest deposits and owned by individuals rather than corporations. In this individual ownership their overhead is reduced point that would please the greatest banking economist of the nation There are no high salaries expensive buildings and the usual ob !igatons and responsibilities encompassng such nstit tions neither there vauts policemen to guard them The gold standard bmetallism cannot affect them
 These are the placer mines, owned and operated by that branch of industry which refuses to hang around waiting to get onto somebody's payroll but out in the hills digging from to several thousand dollars annual ly and using shovel and pan for check book.
 One never hears these bankers complaining about panics or hard times They might chafe under the isoa ton of several months in the year. but they are as nde pendent as '.pig in goober patch" When things be- tedious they walk and leave the bank door open have fling outside and return in spring load up col lection of grub that would make beehive dweers eyes bulge out and off again for another orgy of check drawing.
 As one old Kuyokuk miner put it: I'd like to see a cracksman try to tap my bank Maybe it might do him gooy-hed learn to swing pick and shovel and might turn honest"

slightly curved-about 81 or 33s
inches high. The straw is flat-foot
sennit. The band is plain black.
The brim-from "a to Us inches
is wide enough to shade the face
and keep the nose from sizzling. But
it's not so wide as to be out of pro-
portion or make in hard to wear.
It's an easy hat for man to look
his best in-and still Americas most
fashionable holiday hat.
Quiet COIOred Bands
Many men, of course, will prefer
a colored band. But even the COL
ored bands will be conservative-in
stripes, self-woven designs and not
too bright colors.
Navy blue, brown, maroon, dark
green and such colors will be better
than gaudy reds, yellow, light greens
and light blues.
Next in popularity to the boater
is the panama. Even more men than
last year will wear this soft, light,
pliable hat.
So many indeed, that the sennits
will have to look out for their
laurels.
OptimO Panamas Popular
Panarnas will be best in the pop
ular optimo shape. That, you'll re-
member, is the familiar blocked
crown with little ridge running
from front to rear. Bands still will
be narrow and brimS of medium
width.
PanamaS have the happy habit of
conforming to your head. The more
you wear them, the better they
look.
Besides, a good panama sheds
water like a duck and is as thor
oughly sensible a hat as a man
would want to wear.
Leghorn hats still are coming over
from sunny Italy and many of them
are being successfully reproduced
right here.
These rougher, yellow straws are
good with both plain and puggaree
bands (meaning the broad bands of
pleated silk.
Puggaree Bands Cool
Years ago the Mohammedan
chiefs made their slaves wear pug
garee bands around their heads as
sign of Servitude.
But when they noticed their
slaves got along nicely in hot
weather while they themselves per-
spired and expired, they adopted
puggareeS themselves.
Now these bands are worn on leg
horns by millions of men-from
India to the Yankee stadium.
Light teltS, weighing so little you
hardly know you're wearing a hat
at all, were very popular at the
smart resorts last winter. Theyu
get a great reception this summer.
too, in gray, tan, blue and green
pastel shades.
Tweed Cap Comfortable
Another comfortable head cover
ing you'll see in cars, on golf courses
and front porcheS is the cap of
tweed, herringbone or checks.
Two kinds-one made in eight
pieces with button on top. The
other made in one piece with a
plain, fiat top.
And later on the golf course is
going to see lots of these in linen
to match Knockers.

Just
Every
Day
Sense

CERTAIN physicians have an
~ nounced that there never
will be such a thing as painless
childbirth.
For the good of the women, I
hope they are right. Because this
agony of motherhood" has been
one of the strongest weapons
Nature ever placed in our hands.
TT is pang that no man knows.
and for that reason, through
countless ages, we have used it in
the management of imaginative
and sympathetic husbands.
Think of how novelists have
sobbed over the courage of women
who have gone down into the
valley of the Shadow" Remem-
Der all the word pictures of dis
tracted husbands walking the
floor while awaiting the news of
the arrival of the heir?
1t would be tragic to take away
that bit of sentiment from a
world already so depleted of soft
ening things. With painless child
birth Papa just as well might
spend the portentous moments at
a nice little poker game, and that,
you must admit, would not be half
so exciting as to keep him parked
in the reception room of a hos
pital all night.
a LII of us agree, I am sure,
L n that childbirth should be
made easier, but I imagine that
few women would like to think
Of it as absolutely painless.
It's not such a bad thing for
us to have to endure a certain
amount of suffering for our ba-
bies. IN the last analysis, if it
we're not for the physical an
cuisines we sometimes must un-
dergo, we could have no adequate
conception of the blessing of good
health.
THE peace that paSSeth under
standing" is what the mother ex-
periences after the birth Of her
child. And it's the most blisSful
sensation a mortal can know, eS-
pecially when there's baby on
YOUR arm.
