the cold Winter months could tell even worse
stories than Dickens has told when this filthy
habit existed. Mr. Bergman, in his cartoons
in The Star, entitled Squash Center" has
upon several occasions shown the old stove in

fire with their copious expectations and it

in Washington was passed because of the
practice of a certain associate justice Of the
United States Supreme Court, who invariably
SO filled the street car with tobacco juice when
he was aboard that 1t became a question Of
legislating against 1t compelling the car
company TO provide the passengers with life

The celebrated novelist began his first trip
to this country with Mrs. Dickens and a maid

steamer Britannia. The voyage Is said to have
been very rough one and full OF perils, the

Jones said the corporation had re-
ceived In repayments AZ per cent of
all loans made to banks and other
private institutions.
As Of July 81, Jones added, banks
which borrowed from the corporation
have repaid "a per cent of the money,
the. remaining 36 per cent consisting
almost entirely of loans made to
banks which are closed.
Little Loss Expected.
Jones told reporters the corporation
did not expect to take much, if any,
loss on the Dawes bank loan. He ex-
planned there remained "either $14,-
10000 or $28, 900 900" in securities as
well as other substantial property.
Some of this, he added, consisted Of
notes by Chicago merchants and busi-
ness men considered good.

said, "all the notes are secured by

offered for security by the Central Re-
