Tommy had promptly responded to

urgent messages had been sent to him
was called to order. It is said that
Tommy listened attentively to the sew
eral urgent speakers. The arguments
which they presented were seemingly
sound. Unless Tommy came to the
rescue, Helena must quite likely suffer
an appalling financial panic. AS he
must well know, mines on all sides

than ever before. 1t was impossible to
call more. than a few insignificant
loans, and deposits were falling off
alarmingly. Would he come to the aid
of his town, his church, his fellow
bankers, and himself? It "a quite
obvious, they urged, that the pinch
must soon pass and then, if Tommy
made the passing easy and safe, he
must profit largely from his generosity.
We are told that during all this va
ried harangue Tommy sat with his
white head bowed, the while showing
no sign of his rising spleen. When the
last speaker had subsidized and an ex-
pectant hush pervaded the meeting,
Tommy looked up quickly, glanced
sharply here and there at his anxious
associates, and roughly inquired:
stheam?"
It appeared there was no more
"stheam" to be blown; and, after q
moments hesitation, Tommy arose and

be viciously vindictive. Nor, from his

we largely blame the bankers for re-

At the time of Tommy's application for
help, his Drumlummon had not proved

view all this, it appears that in gen.
eral those bankers points of view may
have been as narrow as Tommy's. They
had lent many millions on lightly con-
sidered supposed securities actually no
better than was Tommy's Drum1um-

this, the sad harvest of their great

DENTAL LIGHTS


 LONDON, July 30. = Miniature traffic signals by which the pa- tient advises his dentist exactly how he feels as the drill sinks, have been invented by a London practitioner.
 A stop caution-go" apparatus is on the wall before the dentist, the patient handling the controls from the chair. He gives the doctor red, amber or green lights without jerk ing some throbbing instrument from his mouth in order to voice his feelings. n
 The lights were suggested to the inventor as joke. In perfecting the system he found the set-up had a strong psychological effect upon the patient, usually giving him such reassurance that the den- tist seldom gets the stop sign.
 Children sometimes become so absorbed in working the signals that the tooth is out before they decide to cry.

 These days of silence were inn posed by the county magistrates after five court hearings. Neighbors complained Allan's everlasting bag pipe playing was unreasonable, un- necessary, excessive and injurious to public health.
 Allan hotly denied this, saying there was nothing but pure melody in the skirl of his pipes. He offered to prove it in court, but the mag strate passed up this test.
 They decided that on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, for periods of not more than 20 minutes at time between 6:30 D m and 830 p. m. Allan might blow the bottom out of his plaid wind bag if he so desired. Otherwise he must brood in silence.
