himself sternly if he has any
clothes that ought to be eaten.
I fancy very few would emerge
able to look cricket in the eye,
from that self-interrogation
or cast the first moth ball at
him.
Walk up or down any street
in any town any day and you
will see how true this is. You
will be amazed at the amount
of clothing being worn nowadays
that ought to be eaten, or at
least have something done to it.
A lot of the people walking
around nowadays ought to be
eaten, too, or disposed OF in
some way. Oh no, we should
not rail at the cricket because
somebody starts a rumor that
he likes sweaters.
On the contrary. we ought to
encourage him to eat more
clothing. I have some odds and
ends of my own that I would
gladly set out for some hungry
cricket. There is that sports
jacket, for instance, bought IN
a mood of sportive ecstasy, with
the kind of checks in it that
make the eyes dance. And those
ill-advised neckties. I would be
grateful to any cricket who
would take them off my hands.

American Bankers Session
Important and He1nfu1

The annual convention Of the American Bankers Association
no" Deln held here has important opportunity for far
reaching and constructive service to the Nation
The bankers meet at time of considerable uncertainty and
aouD among the business interests the country as to the
immediate future 80 " D
They assemble here with doubt their own minds as +o the
uture relations OF the banks to the Government and as to the
future relations of the banks to their clients
IF 1T IS AT ALL POSSIBLE TO RESOLVE THESE
DOUBTS-AND IT IS POSSIBLE-NOW IS THE TIME AND
WASHINGTON THE PLACE TO DO IT.
Virtually every banker in the country has suffered from the
aserslons cast his profession result of the activities
OF renegades and those who in the moment of trial were
faithless to their trust.
No matter how unfair this criticism has been no matter how
unjust has been blame entire profession because of the
sdeeds Of few mscrean the bankers as group realize
that they have been and trial.
THEY HAVE BEEN HAMPERED IN OBTAINING A FAIR
TRIAL BECAUSE OF THE GENERAL INCLINATION
WHICH EXISTS, EVEN AMONG HIGH GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER TO PAINT
SION AND THE DRAG UPON THE RECOVERY EFFORT
This Washington convention do much to remove from
the banking profession the stigma which has-n many in
stances unfairly-been placed upon it.
It and undoubtedly will demonstrate readiness and
the desire Of bankers whole to cooperate every
which be taken to improve general conditions in the
country.
In these efforts the bankers deserve the cooperation of the
many Government officials who will address the various
gions of the convention.
WASHINGTON IS HAPPY TO BE THE HOST OF THE
AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION. IT IS HOPEFUL
THAT THE CONVENTION WILL BE HELPFUL NOT ONLY
TO THE BANKERS BUT AS WELL TO THE GOVERN

There has been a lot Of talk
going the rounds this fall
about the cricket. It is alleged
that he took to eating clothes
this season, and did a good zeal
of damage.
AS a friend of crickets I am
sorry to hear this, if it is true.
But is it true? Some of the out
bursts against the cricket have
seemed too heated to be i'm
partial. And we ought to be
impartial in a matter like this.
The cricket has always enjoyed
a good reputation and people
should think twice and be very
sure of their ground before they
destroy that reputation wan
tonly.
Men ought to be mighty care.
full what they say about
crickets, because if there ever
was a time when we insects had
reason to stick together, that
time is now, with the universe
expanding. civilization tottering
on the brink, and the price of
butter going up. We may see
the day we'll be glad to have
the cricket on our side.
AS. far as I am concerned,
I'm not going to take any
stock in these charges about the
cricket until they are proved
true and even if they are still
will feel the same about the
cricket.
Suppose an occasional cricket
does take nibble at a blue
serge coat. What harm is there
in that? There are too many
blue serge coats, anyhow. And
nobody is perfect. Probably
every young cricket with any
curiosity, any getup to him,
samples clothing at some time.
Probably there are a few emo
tionally unbalanced crickets,
who become serge addicts and
form an incurable taste for
pants of that material. But I do
not think these cricketS are in
the majority.
I think the great mass of crick-
cts are respectable, decent in
SectS who live mainly on grass,
and can take knitted wooden
sweaters or leave them alone.
Just because a few crickets go
wrong is no reason for indicting
all cricketS.

Even if an occasional suit of
clothes is chewed up by crickets,
that is no reason to set up such
a hue and cry. If the truth were
known, a lot more clothes ought
to be eaten than are eaten, and

But here is probably the
greatest single accretion of

Listen, w Orld!
Blu Elsie Robinson

That isn't what your new boss
looks at. He's looking at what
those years have done to YOU,
not to your pocketbook.
How much adaptability have
you learned? How dry are you
behind the ears! how cool un-
der pressure; how genial to the
irritating stranger? Are you
packing a crouch. . or a wal
lop? Do you look like Win
ner-or a Wilmer? Have the
hard years made you wiser to
yourself-or just Sorrier for
yourself?
Ten or 20 years ago you
started in. Now you're starting
again. But don't kid yourself that
you're starting with the same
equipment. You've accumulated
plenty as you came along and
you're still carrying it all right
with you. Your cash has
vanished, but the real gains or
losses of the years are there Tor
all the world to see-in the turn
of YOUR eyebrow, the tilt of your
chin, the tone of your voice,
the twist of your shoulder.
You're NOT back where you
started" You're just as far
along the trail as you would
have been if the Depression had
never happened. The qualities
in you which we're headed for
success before '29 are with you
today, and also the qualities
which were headed for failure.
And when the scores all in
you'll find that you WON or
LOST because of those qualities
and not because OF the rise or
fall of the market.
I'm no Pollyanna. I DON l
believe that any man is 100 per
cent master of his fate" 1

which will get the best of us
down-and Depression is one OF
them. Depression has certainly

WILL STILL WORK.
So, stop saying you're black

you. AND, IF IT'S THE REAL
