This Business Of Banking

Events of the past few years have clearly shown that
like any other business enterprise. banks in the long
run will exist only where there is demand for their
serces. Hundreds Of communities are today banless
because Of this memorable economic law.
When you hear that banks "control" the community
wealth and 'hosrd' the deposited funds, keep these
facts in mind: In any bank worthy of the name, de-
posts may be Withdrawn the will of the deposition
thus the control charge is without foundation Sec
ondy, only through prudent lending of the funds in
its care can banks management procure the income
of which pay interest taxes salaries and divi.
dends. No bank will deliberately "hoard" itself into
insolvency.
Depositors demand absolute safety. This bank always
has been and will continue be safe. Borrowers want
loans. This bank will always accommodate such de.
mands the fullest commensurate with safety

WAR THREATS
WORRY LEAGUE
Europe Closest to Conflict
Since IA, Say Diplomats.

By CHitcd Press
GENEVA, July 26.-League Of Ma
tions officials felt today that the
Austrian putsch has brought Europe
closer to serious conflict1than at any
time since 1914.
Diplomats commented eXcitedly on
a Vienna dispatch to the Journal
DIES Nations reporting Italian and
Czechoslovakian troops taking posi-
ton on the Austrian frontiers.
Representatives of the small pow
erS almost unanimously favored an
Austrian appeal to the league, be-
lieving events would force the big
powers which blocked an appeal last
January to support it now.
Britain, France and Italy may
first try pressure on Germany to
force her to restrain the Nazis.
Switzerland was Mortified by the
outbreak. The federal council to-
morrow will draft protest to Ber-
lin against the clandestine shipment
of arms from Germany across
switzerland TO Austria, which the
Swiss claim violates Switzerland's
neutrality.
The Journal Des Nations directly
attributed the Austrian outbreak to
Germany.
Almost twenty years ago to the
very day." the paper said, those
afflicted with pan-German madness
lighted the powder and launched
the ultimatum that provoked the
holocaust. Yesterday in Vienna
they premeditatedly aSsasSinated
for the same purpose"

ALLENTOWN, Pa, July 90
George H. Earle, former United

Intimate Friend of John Dillinger
T think John would have been
Il pleased. He had a lovely casket
and lovely flowers and plenty of
friends. I thought the sermon
was lovely.
The songs, sung by three young
ladies from his sisters church
were beautiful. They we're God
Will Take Care of You" and I'VE
Will Say Goodnight Here and
Goodmorning Up There"
The minister's text was Have
Faith in God" He talked only
about ten minutes. The heat in
the house was awful and the
minister stood in the doorway,
facing John.
Johns sister, Mrs. Hancock,
tainted just before the minister
started to speak and her husband
and daughter took her into the
other room and cared for her. She
tainted again when they started
to put her in the car just behind
the hearSe.
THE minister said if John had
Il had as many friends before
this happened as he has now, he
never would have been caught.
Everything he said was good and
he never mentioned any of the
bad things. 1t was just like any
other funeral service instead of
the minister talking about some
body like he was.
Johns father cried, but he was
more composed than any one else.
On the east side of him sat Johns
half sisters, Doris and Frances.
There were three rooms full of
relatives and the friends were in
the kitchen. They closed the cas-
ket during the service. All of the
relatives cried, but none of them
was hysterical. All around the
coffin and the side of the room
where John lay was banked with
flowers.
The upper half of his face
looked natural to me, but the dim
pie was gone and the lower part
of his lace was swollen.
A S I walked up the path to the
4 N Hancock house yesterday
morning I saw boys football ly-
ing beside the steps. The line of
spectators moved slowly through
the doors. Inside, to the right,
was a gray casket, the last rest
ing place of a glay-clad figure. 1t
was John.
A policeman stopped us.

just came out of the back door,
didn't you?"
A city park matron in front of
us tried to explain she had just
arrived. We denied, too, that we
were "repeaters' in the long line
of spectators.
Members of the family and
friends stood grouped about the
room. An undertaker's attend
ant ordered the line to move on.
Back through the dining room
the line filed. Sitting along the
side of the room we're close
friends and relatives. They looked
at us with questioning eyes.
