A GRAND OLD MAN

DANk1NG difficulties these days are
u made considerably more arduous by
the numerous demands made for free
contributions on the part of gentlemen
who will not work but who hope to reap
and reap abundantly.
An epidemic of bank hold-ups is such
that a banker would be justified in hav-
ing case of the jumps anytime anyone
whom he does not know enters his bank.
And when a man 81 years old, is con-
fronted with desperate criminal, claim
ing to be equipped with enough explosive
TO blow up an entire city block, that man
Is perfectly justified in showing a great
deal of white feather When he doesn't,
but defies the criminal and eventually
has the satisfaction of putting him be-
hind the bars, it is indeed remarkable
and worthwhile to comment about it.
That is what Tracy Q. Hall, vice-pres-
ident of the Security-First National bank
at Los Angeles has done.
Halls feat is made even more remark
able by the fact that this criminal really
did have as much explosive as he claimed
to have Heretofore numerous claims of
high explosives have been made by bank
robbers, but in the cases where their at
tempts have been foiled, it has been found
that their explosives were Just part of a
bluff.
The supposed bluff that Hall called
was no bluff at all but a stern reality
fraught with danger not only to himself
but to all within a wide radius.
The veteran banker not only took q
desperate chance, but he won out on it.
He also has the personal satisfaction of
having won out because he had the moral
courage to sock the criminal right square
ly on the nose, and that indeed, is great
deal Of satisfaction. 1t worked well be-
cause it stampeded the criminal. Be
ing socked on the nose is quite likely to
stampede nine out of 10 men and when
it comes Unexpectedly it is even worse.
1t took plenty of sand for a 62-year-
old man to come up from his desk with
enough wallop to flatten another much
younger than himself. Such courage is
far greater than that which it takes to
"die for dear old Rutgers on the
gridiron but it is not quite so likely to
get so much publicity.
That is why we get good deal of sat
isfaction out of designating Mr.. Hall as
a mans man., a brave man., grand
old man., if you will
