BANKERS STORY
American Bankers Association
President Announces Move
to Stimulate Newspaper
Advertising

NEW YORk.-Plans for stimulating
wider use OF Informative newspaper
advertising by banks in promoting pub.
lie understanding and confidence in re-
gard to existing banking conditions
and methods have been announced by
R. S. Hecht, President OF the American
Bankers Association, as a part of his
organizations activities in aid OF bust.

A general groundwork was prepared
through nationwide survey OF adver-

industry and trade. This, he said, re-

of the country are pursuing aggressive
policies along this line and encourag

The Theme of New Advertising
The associations Advertising De-

Of the general executive officers, has
prepared. at the headquarters In New

series for the use of member banks in
the association to aid them in develop

ing banking, Mr.. Hecht said.
"The underlying theme of this adver.
Using is that sound banking Is based on
helpful human relations and that it has
a unity of interest with the people of
its community which binds them to-
gether with common purpose" he
said.
I'VE are confident that II clear un.
derstanding of this is brought home to
the people in all our banking communi.
ties, it will go far in restoring the pub.
lie confidence which good banking de.
serves. A bank in which people de.
servedly believe is doubly safe. 1t is to
the public interest for the people to
have confidence in their banks.
The Place of Advertising
I'VE feel that bank advertising has a
special public duty to perform in this
connection dnder existing conditions.
The copy which will be supplied in the
service we have developed will not only
aid the individual bank in promoting
the use of it's own facilities but is also
aimed TO bring about with the aid of
newspaper advertising clearer public
viewpoint regarding the essential part
It occupies in the life of its communi.
ty."
Mr.. Hecht emphasized in regard to
the new advertising facilities being Of
fered to the members of the association
that they are not profit making ven.

disturb existing advertising arrange

that they will give assistance to mem.

The word trade springs from me-
dieval English and originally meant
a path or road and Ia connected with
the word tread, meaning walk or pro
coed. Beginning with the Hapseatic
league, 1t took on special reference
to the path of ships. A ship going
to China was bound on the China
trade or path to China. AS barter was
always associated with such voyages,
the word trade gradually began to
take on more significance in relation
to the business of the voyage than to
the voyage itself Hence, foreign
trade and domestic trade became
standard terms In the language.

Dead Jungle Denizens
Food for Living Thi Is

1t is fact that the carcasses of ele-
plants are rarely found. But for that
matter, travellers come upon the bodies
of very few of the other animals of
the jungles, though hundreds of thou
sands die every year.
In the tropics, where every living
thing is eternally hungry and where
life abounds as nowhere else on earth,
a tieshy body has little chance for per-
manence. A dying elephant seeks out
a quiet place where he can be alone
with his strange experience, but that
is not the reason why man seldom sees
later such of him as was mortal. Bac-
terial life, ants and other insects,
small animals, vultures-all serve
speedily to dispose of the dead. Ma
lures own sanitary methods quickly
obliterate the being which has served
her own purposes. A few hours is
usually sufficient to do away with a
carcass; that is why few dead ele-
plants are found.
It is for the same reason that of the
millions of mighty creatures that
walked the earth in prehistoric times,
so few, comparatively, have left I'M
mistakable evidences that they ex-
listed.
Only the animals which died in cir
cumstances especially favorable to
their preservation, such as those bur-
led In swamps or by sands, are found
now, to be mounted in museums and
reconstructed for students.

It is to the Greeks that we owe the
Doric, Ionic and Corinthian columns
which still decorate 30 many of our
churches. Among the famous Roman
temples which have given inspiration
for modern churches and public build
ings may be cited the Maison Carree
at Mines. which was the model for
the Richmond (va.) state capitol and
for the Madeleine IN Paris. The Ro-
man Pantheon, which gave the idea
with It's great dome for st. Sophia
in Constantinople and st. Peters in
Rome and many another church. is
perfectly preserved and Is used today

Corn is Corn

wv WHETHER or not corn grew
M in the Garden of Eden we do
not know. But one or the
first gardens man made himself
must have had corn in it, If we
are to judge by references to 1t in
the Bible and in our earliest his
tory books. 1t speaks well Tor
corn that after five thousand years
we are not in the least tired OF 1t.
There was a time when corn
was all people had for dinner
for lunch and breakfast, too. And
there are some people who would
not consider this hardship to-
day. But leaving fondness out OF
the question, corn gives US energy
to start things and endurance to
carry them on. We should eat 1t
often. When you go to buy corn,
choose the type best suited to
your recipe. There's corn, cream
style and whole kernel corn, and
now there's even corn on the cob
in cans! No matter what form 1t
comes in, it's the same good old
corn, succulent and satisfying, as
it was in the good old days when
people lived and thrived on it.
Good Corn Recipes
Corn and Carrot Pudding: Mix
the contents Of one 8-ounce can
Of corn and of one 8-ounce can OF
carrots, two tablespoons chopped
green pepper, and one cup white
sauce. Add two beaten eggs, and
pour into a buttered casserole.
Bake in moderate oven-35O de-
grees-till set or knife comes
out clean. about forty-five min
utes.) This serves six.
. Mexican Corn: Saute one me-
dunn onion, chopped, in two table,
spoons butter until golden brown,
Add one tablespoon -four, and stir
smooth. Add two cups canned
tomatoes, two cups canned corn,
two canned pimientos cut in small
pieces, one teaspoon salt, one tea
spoon sage, and an eighth of a
teaspoon pepper. Pour into but
tered baking dish, Cover thor
oughly with buttered crumbs and
bake in hot oven, This serves

LONELINESS
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

With loneliness overlooking,
How sweet the flowers bloom;
Roses and forget-me-nots,
In the happy month Of June.
Our joys with others sharing,
How lovely, bright and fair;
Sweet music never measured,
On the soft and balmy air.
A smile and cheerful greeting,
Like perfume, rich and rare,
The loneliness and beauty
We can scatter everywhere.
Brooks and rivers, meadows green
Skies above so blue;
The loneliness and beauty
In the world for me and you.

WHEN
Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Maryland

When the dead in Christ have risen
And the sea gives up her dead;
When we listen to the music,
And the mighty army tread.
When the morning and the meeting,
With friends and loved ones dear;
Come ye blessed of my Father;
Sweet words we then shall hear
When the home land over yonde-,
So wonderous fair and bright;
No sad farewells nor partings,
When coEieth no more nighG.

And look upon His face,
Join in the Heavenly chorus,
In that Holy, Happy Place.

Washington, D. C. -. Sales forces
of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company working with 800 drug
stores set out recently to stimulate
the use Of the telephone in ordering
drug supplies. The efforts of these
statesmen not only stepped up the tele-
phone habit at the rate of 425, 900 calls
a year, but they increased the bust
ness of the drug store materially. One
druggist estimated that there had been
an increase of at least 1875 per cent in
telephone orders coming into his store
as a result Of this campaign.

is a striking case of simple, hon.

Until within the past two years.
the plebeian bean and it's coll
league pork were considered an
excellent home dish but hardly a
company one. They were tasty,
everyone agreed, but not smart,
But now you should see them at
midnight suppers in Newport and
on Park Avenue buffet tables. A
smart magazine recently showed
them in silver casseroles at the
same parties with the brightest
social lights.
Here are two ways Of serving
baked beans popular now with So

that, although these good old sub
stantials have climbed the social
ladder, they are still just the
thing for kitchenette suppers on
