ROCKVILLE, Md, July 26.-The
will of Conrad Roger, well-known
Laytonsville district farmer, whose
death at an advanced age occurred
recently, was admitted to probate In

It would be just sensible to say that the Gov
ernment should not put one to work relief prof.
ecs because it could not employ all the jobless as to
say that it should not assist the bank depositors.
WE KNOW THAT THE BANK DEPOSITORS
HAVE HAD THEIR MONEY TIED UP THROUGH
NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. WE KNOW THAT
IF THERE WERE ONE FACTOR CONTRIBUTING
TO THEIR LOSS 1T WAS THE FALsIFICATION
OF BANK STANDINGS BY THE GOVERNMENT.
Can say that all of the others whom the Govern
ment is now assisting at cost of thousands of millions
of dollars are equally blameless for their plight?
BUT WHILE THESE UNSOUND ARGUMENTS
ARE BEING MADE AGAINST THE MCLEOD BILL
ITS OPPONENTS OVERLOOK THE BUSINESS
SIDE OF THE MATTER THEY NEGLECT TO
CONSIDER THAT WITH REASONABLE RECOV
ERY IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS THE BANK AS
SETS WOULD PAY OUT TO A HIGH DEGREE, IF
NOT 100 PER CENT.
That is the important factor and it is one which should

The August States in the cal.
endar of State birthdays are:
Colorado, which was admitted
into the Union on August !,
1876, and Missouri. admitted on
August 10. 1921.
California sets a good example
for other States of the Union
by annually observing as adnis-
sion day September 8, the an
niversary of the Presidents
proclamation in 1850 bringing
the Golden State into the Union.
The /day is a legal holiday in
California.
The other States in which the
birthday of the State is a legal
holiday are Nevada, which was
admitted October 81, 1864; Colo
RADIO, and Arizon, the admission
of which on February IA, 1912,
completed the Union from
coast to coast.
Dual Sovereignty
A national movement to bring
about the annual observance of
the birthdays of the several
States would succeed if the
young men and women in the
public high schools would take
the lead by sending to the
Governor of their State a petit
ton that he issue every year a
proclamation calling upon the
people of the State to unite in
celebrating the birthday of their
State.
Fostering a feeling of State
pride is the first step toward
quickening anew a sence OF
State responsibility. Every
American is or has the oppor'
tunity to be twice a citizen-a
citizens of the State in which
he lives and a citizen of the
United States. Under the Ameri'
can system of Government, citi-
zenship offers duel sovereignty.
And the nation is best served
by those Americans who take
pride in the contribution which
the State, of their birth or
adoption, makes toward the
progress and the power of the
household of the Nation.
When the birthdays of the
several States are annually OBJ
served by their citizens, the
better prepared the American
people will be to unite in annual
observance of the birthday OF
the nation.

Bank depositors relief legislation, embodied in the
payoff bill of Representative Clarence J. Mcleod, has
been subjected to many attacks by the interests which
oppose it but there has been remarkably little SOUND
argument against the proposal
Judging from the number of times is repeated the
principal objection to the the part of
of our socaed leaders is that it sets dangerous prec
edent"
The second objection which is raised almost as re-
peatedly the first is that lit singles out particular
class of our citizens for benefits"
Both of these arguments obviously specious and
neither of them should be permitted to interfere with
the tremendous impetus which would be given economic
recovery by the enactment of proper laws to thaw out
the thousands of millions of dollars of wealth frozen in
our banks.
NO DANGEROUS PRECEDENT WOULD BE SET
BY THE GOVERNMENTS GOING TO THE RE-
LIEF OF THE PATRIOTIC CITIZENS WHO WERE

THIS GOVERNMENT DURING THE LAST YEAR
HAS SET ALL KINDS OF PRECEDENTs, SOME OF
WHICH, IF FOLLOWED, WOULD LEAD TO ULTI-
MATE DISASTER. But no one thinks they will be
bindy followed simply because they have been estab
lshed.
The American Government has demonstrated that it
need not be afraid Of the bug bear of precedent

CAUSE THE GOVERNMENT DOES A SIMPLE ACT

IT DUPED INTO LEAVING MONEY IN UNSOUND

POORLY CONCEIVED BUSINESS CANDLES

AS to the second objection this is rather late day
for the Government to suffer twinge of conscience
over going to the aid of particular group of cit
zens.
The Government has been doing just that for many
years and in the last thirteen months has made spe
cialty of it.

Every American knows that
the Fourth of July is the ami
Versary of American Independ.
ence. It marks the day when
the Declaration of independence
was unanimously adopted by
the Continental Congress at Phil
adelphia in the year 1776. It is
observed every year by the
American people, under the
leadership of the President, as
the birthday of the Nation.
Few Americans take cogni-
Zance of the fact that each of
the 48 States also has a birth
day-the day on which the
State entered the Union.
The original 13 States entered
the Union by ratifying the Fed
eral Constitution. The date of
ratification marks the birthday
of each of these States.
National Problem
The other IS States were ad.
mitted to the Union by act of
Congress. The day on which
the President proclaimed the
admission of each of these
States marks the birthday OF
the State.
How to revive, among the
people of the several States,
livelier sense of their authority
and responsibility as citizens OF
a sovereign State is more and
more becoming a national prob
lem. This problem must be
solved if the burden of govern
ment is to be shared by the sew:
eral States with the Federal
Government, and the Federal
Government saved from the
necessity of discharging the
duties of the several States.
One way to quicken livelier
sense of State authority
and State responsibility would
be by annually observing the
birthdays of the several States.
This offers an opportunity for
leadership by the Governors,
who stand in much the same
relation to the people of their
respective States as does the
President to the people OF the
United States.
If the States observed their
birthdays with the same fidelity
that the birthday of the Nation
is annually observed, the month
of May would be marked every
year by birthday celebrations in
three States-Minnesota, which
was admitted to the Union on
May II, 1858; South Carolina,
which was the seventh State to
ratify the Federal Constitution,
on May %, 1888, and Rhode
Island, the last of the original
13 States to ratify, on May 20,
1870.
Six States were born into the
Union in the month of June:
New Hampshire, which ratified
the Federal Constitution on
June 81, 1888; Virginia, which
ratified on June Is of the same

NO MORE BANANAS = = By Robert Benchley

It is perhaps presumptuouS
for any one of us to say just
what he will or will not do with
the remaining days allotted to
him, but I think that I may
safely predict this: I am off
bananas, definitely.

pounds here and there, now
that the bathing suit season is
coming on). started last week
on what is known as the "ba-
mana and skinned milk diet"
or the Johns Hopkins Glide. I
am no longer on it, but, even
after a three days workout, I
swear that if a banana so much
as crosses my path, will shoot
it down like a dog.
AS 1 understood it, you took
two bananas and glass OF
skinned milk three times day
for two weeks. Then you bought
yourself White mess jacket and
a wide black sash, and chased
Clifton Webb for the ConcaVity
prize. That was what hearu.
started on a Monday morn
ing with my two bananas and
a glass OF skinned milk. To
make things harder, 1 never
liked bananas very much, any,

bananas are not too hard. The
action of milk on hard bananas
when they get in your stomach
together-well, go ahead with
it if you want to-"
Now, all this time was too
happy as it was, without out
side heckling on the subject.
I began cutting my bananas
up into cubes for one meal,
into diamonds for the next, and
finally I mashed them up with
the milk into a cocktail shaker
and gave myself quite a party.
That was the evening of the
second day.
1t was on the third day that
I decided to call the whole thing
off. I got up in the morning and
fell down while trying to get
into my slippers. AS I ate my
three-and-a-half minute bananas,
with a dash of worcestershire
on them. and drank my cup Of
steaming hot skinned milk
(dated), I granced over the
morning paper.

Bu Edwin C.. Hill

The news presents an unusu-
ally attractive picture gallery
of personalities. There's that
very able-minded lady, Fanny
Hurst, who has just written
her eighth novel and who has
seen her name over at least
five hundred short stories. A
close friend of Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, she lives almost
as vigorously as the Lady of
the White House. Six hours
a day she devotes to work,
with the regularity of a bank
cashier. She has a whole mena-
gerie of pets, including mon
key. It was only the other day
tina t the little gray sage,
Colonel Edward Mandell House,
named Fanny Hurst as one Of
fifteen women who could hold
down a big government job.
One wonders who the other
fourteen are, and why fourteen.
There must be hundreds, actu-
ally, if not thousands.
u. John T. McCutcheon, one of
us Hoosiers and proud of it,
tells. the Literary Digest that
he was born in 1870 near the
banks Of the Wabash, and
never put a foot off Indiana
soil until he was eighteen.
Then with George Ade he went
to Chicago, to become the most
famous of American cartoon
lists. He has covered six wars
and cartooned eleven political
campaigns, been around the
world four times and has kept
his chin up through six depres-
sions. He plays golf in the
hundreds and spends his win
ters on "a little island he owns
in the Bahamas.

bandit general to the life in one
of the most successful of recent
talking pictures, was Gloria
Swanson's first husband. the
original of a fairly celebrated
collection made by that glamor-
GUS lady of the sapphire eyes.
That was back in the old Key
stone Comedy days under Mack
Sennett, when both Beery and
Miss Swanson knew the curious
shock of a cuStard pice thrown
squarely into the face. Beery
flies his own plane, loves big
game hunting, weighs 240
pounds, and would rather eat
than be hailed as one of the
very finest actors of the screen,
which he is. At various times in
his colorful career he has been
a railroad section hand, circus
elephant trainer, a chorus man,
a stage electrician, and a studio
director. And once upon a time,
in motion pictures, he played
the part of a Swedish servant
girl.

Asks End to Liability

The bill prays in the alterna-
tive that the plaintiff be exon
Grated from liability on account
Of his endorsement of the notes,
and the bank enjoined from
bringing an action at law against
him, or that the Court hold the
deeds of trust null and void as to
his rights.
The defendants-some by sep.
arate motion, and others by mo-
ton included in the answers
move that the bill be dismissed.
No bankruptcy proceeding is
here involved, and, aside from
the bankruptcy law under which
preferences made within four

the bank apply this security for
the benefit of Hannah, it's other
debtor, under penalty of waving
its rights to demand payment
from him because the notes he
has endorsed were made by the
other debtor from whom the Sc
curity was taken? No authority
or decision has been cited that
applies any rule of law to bring
about this result.
On the contrary, it has been
expressly held, under similar cir
cumstances, where a bank held
the note of a debtor upon which
a third person was surety, that
the bank had the right to take
from the debtor a mortgage of
his property to secure it as to an
other debt, without affecting the
liability of the surety to the bank.
