Dear Louie. It would have
been so much easier if you had
asked me to fill your grand col
umn with drawings. You see,
I've always thought in pictures
rather than in words, and as l
look back, even Memory Lane
seems to be a long series of il
lustrations for a story. So I'll
pretend that I'm selecting the
high spots in the tale of a hope
full artist and explain to you
the sketches would make.
MY small room happened to
be in the Y. Nj. G. A. in Chicago
in 1915. 1 had left prep. school
in Montreal that winter to go
there to work. / had eight dol
lars, lots of ambition and fig
ured out that it would be very
easy to start at the top. Louis,

under my arm you ever saw.
There were carefully made
copies of Harrison Fisher heads,
James Montgomery Flagg illus
tratiOns, Rube Goldberg car
toOns, types of lettering-in fact
there wasn't a medium h d
missed. But unfortunately, art
editors o c a S ON all y glance
through magazines themselves,
and since Flagg and Fisher were
rather familiar to them ey
weren't at all impressed with
my bad copies. But / thought
that it would only be a matter
of tomorrow until 1 found some
thing, and / wrote letters home
telling how well I was doing.
MY only objection, 1 said, was
the restaurant food. / didn't
mention that it was the lack Of

with homemade fruit cake. ate
fruit cake for breakfast, fruit

went on for weeks, and to this
day / can't see anything funny

I'll spare you the details of

that cold Chicago winter, but it
happened that the only person
I knew in Chicago was a boy

one day and arranged for me to
make some song covers. Being
around where music was being

from four to ten d ollars for

I got two a month to do. Among

young man who wrote them
used to take me to lunch and
dinner and did nice things for
me in way that made me feel
that it wasn't because I didn't
have any money. His name was
Gus Kahn.
There were a couple of years

I had found a, little house in

thought Patou and Poiret would

all right, because the news

OUR CHANGING BODIES

If you weigh yourself today, and then
weigh yourself three weeks from now, your
weight will probably show little change.
But, according to DR.. Adolph of the Uni-
versity of Rochester, at least SO per cent
of the real substance of your body will
have been changed in the meantime.
For, he asserts, the water content of
human body changes every q days. of an
average, and the body is SO per cent wa
ter. He also figures that the nitrogen of
the body. which is the chief element in the
chemical composition of muscle, is renew
ed every 800 days, while the iron compon-
ent is changed in a slightly longer period.
1t used to be thought that the actual
substance of ones body was completely
changed about every seven years, but DR..
Adolph's researches indicate that the time
of renewal is much less than that
So, when you look in your mirror you
may see what appears to be the same OBJ
ieet you saw there year or two before.
But the real substance will be almost en-
tirely different. and the change will gem
orally he for the worse rather than for the
better.

THE BANKING SITUATION.

Somebody said, many years ago,
"These are the days that try mems souls"
but we should paraphrase that to read,
These are the days that try mems faith
faith in the man whom an overwhelming
majority of American citizens put at the
head of our government"
That man has said that this is the time
for action, not for words and he did not
wait, with the dire condition in the nation
pressing on him, till the Sabbath passed to
begin his action.
On that day, in conference with his
cabinet, he decided that the fear enter
tanned toward the financial institutions in
the country was grave, immediate ac
ton should be taken to Danish that fear.
And he took that action yesterday
morning. First, he issued an order tenn
porarily closing all the National banks in
the country and, secondly, he called a
special session of congress for Thursday.
At first thought it would appear that
the closing of the banks would create more
fear, and that is undoubtedly true as con-
Germs many people, but it is not so as re-
CARDS the greater number who have faith
in the man who is now at the head of the
government.
Those people who have faith in him
will reason that he had good cause for
temporarily closing the banks and that,
when they open again, the confidence of
the people in the banks will be restored.
Thof 70 OI6
time vigor as result of banking bill that
will be introduced Immediately, when con-
gress convenes, which will strengthen the
financial institutions and, at the same
time, the faith of depositors by provi-
sion that will guarantee all deposits in Ma
tional banks.
If a man with a dollar knows that
that dollar will be returned to him when
he wants it. he will not entertain a passing
thought about the safety of that dollar
when it is placed in bank behind which
the government stands.
If there is man who still has fear,
with the guarantee staring him in the face,
then he has lost all faith in the govern
ment under which it is issued.
In other words, if money in bank,
guaranteed by the government to pay back
dollar for dollar, is no good, then money
kept in sock" is no good, either.
Let us have unbounded faith in Frank
lin d. Roosevelt, let us have faith that
what he is doing is to restore the conf
dence of the people and the banking sta
bility of the country, let us have faith that
he is working for our salvation.
If we have that faith, then we may
be sure that the banking situation in the
United States will be put on sound basis,
which, above all, means the protection Of
the money that the people entrust to the
banks.

Former Editor of The Key West Citizen

The sudden death of Senator Walsh,
who was slated for attorney general. re-
moves one of the strongest figures named
for the Roosevelt cabinet. Senator Walsh
was 70 years of age, and was married only
few days ago to a wealthy Cuban widow
in Havana. He was an able statesman of
the ultra-progressive type and his death
marks a distinct loss to the school of politi-
cal thought which he represented.
