that this distinguished look

America, through the Bos-

much chuckling among the

Learning a Lesson

Learning a Lesson
You have not fully awakened
to the responsibilities Of life
until now.
The past four years have
Jared your placidity to some
extent, but you have just be-
gun to sense the necessity for
giving serious thought to the
future.
You realize you have not ap-
piled yourself to your duties as
you should.
You have not worked up to
capacity mentally or physically.
Getting along as easily as
possible, your income has met
your wants.
But recent cuts in salary
have meant cuts in scale of liv-
ing and you begin to see that
you are one of that class that
could not stand prosperity.
You spent foolishly with lit
tie regard for true value.
During your flush years you
did not save any more than
YOU did in your lean years but
spent as you went and had a
good time.
Now you have had an awak-
ening and it has proved to be
a severe jolt.
But if it has instilled a little
common sense, it's worth while.
You can profit in the future
if you have learned to use COM
mon sense.
Don't you wonder why you
did not think of it before?
Pretty dumb of you, to be so
blind to opportunity and so
slow to profit by it.
Don't blame conditions SO
much for your present situa-
tion, blame yourself for much
Of it.

Knightly Norman

He is the perfect picture,
even in modern dress, of a
handsome cavalier of the
court Of the Red Haired
Queen, and would have
played to faultless precision
the part of an Earl of Essex.
A very mysterious person at
all times, is this gentleman
who keeps house with the
Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street, as the Bank of Eng
land has been called ever
since it was organized by a
canny ScotcFman al years
ago.
He is 60 years old, plays
with paneling, pictures, mu-
sic and the study of birds
when he isn't holding up
the finances of Great Brit
ain by main strength, or
slipping over here to whis-
per in the ear Of the Fed
eral Reserve. The Bank of
England is a private COM
pany which lends money to
governments and to banks,
something like our Federal
Reserve. 1t is an invisible
government, the n cient
bank, with powerful intlu-
ence throughout the world
"a keystone in the arch OF
capitalism.

Elusive-shy

When Montagu Norman is
about the business of the Old
Lady of Threadneedle Street
he is shyer, even, than he IS
in private life. He boards
trains as they start to move.
He climbs up rope ladders te
the decks Of liners after the
ships have put to sea. H'
hops into airplanes as t h &
pilots start the motors roar
ing. Fiction ca n scarcely
match h i m for mysterious
comings and goings And al
ways, up to very recent times,
at least, the financial world
bristles with interest and ex-
pectation when this elusive
star moves out OF his regular
orbit.
Men with billions at stake
follow the comings and 60
ings of the gentleman in the
black slouch hat, the grace
full cape coat and the pointed
beard - like one of Dumas
musketeers-Athos for choice.
He never attends social func-
tions in England, but has .
deputy to represent him.
Somehow one f e e s that
this personality is too vigor-
Gus to be long repressed by
the financial idiosyncrasies
of the times.

Makes Air History

And in 20 days she was
there, a record breaking
feat, and one of the most
brilliant in the history of
aviation. Almost unnotlced
she took off, but when she
floated down upon the island
continent the entire British
Empire gave three cheers.
One newspaper telegraphed
her a prize of $4,000. King
George made her a lady
knight of the empire. And
then she flew to Tokyo in
10 days and came home
with the plaudits Of the
world wreathing her bright
head.
Did it spoil her9 Not
bit! When her husband-to-
be, Captain Mollison, flew
from England to Maine she
told him he was the greatest
flier in the world and led
him off to the altar, and
presently she was roaring
down along the coast of
Africa, breaking all records
from London to Capetown.
And now she makes the At
lantic flight in the same
plane with Husband Jimmy,
and already seeks for new
airroads to conquer.
A great girl, little Amy!

Are You Deserving?

SAAO AOU DCSNA VAAA6
In your church, your club,
your other affiliations, do you
feel that there are some cliques
in which you are not well
coined.
Ever think you may be to
blame, if not included?
You have never indicated
that you would like to be a
member.
When you have been asked
to perform certain little SER
vices, you have never been
very enthusiastic and energetic
in carrying out requirements.
You felt the work given you
was Of too little value to mat
ter much.
And the way you performed
the service showed that either
you attached no Importance
to it, or that you were not
interested sufficiently.
Consequently you should not
wonder that you are not asked
for further service.
You often remark that a cer-
tain few are chosen as officers,
always.
But have you indicated by
unbroken attendance and in
terest at meetings that you
might be relied upon to do
efficient service as an officer?
Many of those who are re-
elected year after year would
be willing to have others take
their places provided it were
indicated that they would give
the necessary time and had
the ability to carry on the
work as required.
If you haven't done your
part always then you have no
kick coming that you are not
included when it comes to
choosing officers.

Amy Johnson Greatest Flying Girl-Demure

With all due respect and
admiration for Miss Amelia
Earhart and other American
ladybirds, we have to hand
the diamond-studded lip
stick to that slight, light

the worlds greatest flying

Her latest triumph, fly

Dear Jane Jordan-I am healthy,
normal and sane. Should I, must
I, lose all these and become neu-
rotic just because the world and
my next door neighbor consider it
wrong for me to satisfy my car
nal desires? Over a period of four
years I've had affairs with three
men. Each of these men was
broad minded enough to appre-
ciate my theories and opinions,
and are intelligent enough to re-
frain from the morbid, muShy
sentimentality that most women
seem to require before they can
give thmselves over to complete
satisfaction or quiet the little voice
of conscience.
If you wish to consider my
three wholly satisfactory affairs
as promiscuous. okay. I GER
tainly don't. Every woman has,
at one time or another, seen or
known some man about whom she
has had little secret ecstatic de-
sires. I don't think there is very
much difference in her desire to
accomplish and the act itself.
Certainly, there was no note Of
defiance in my first letter. I'm
Just a normal human being, with
nerve enough to glory in the fact
that I'm capable of getting the
most out of this thing We call life.
