and come in and tell a heart-rending
tale about the devastating inroads Of
the income tax, or how their incomes
have shrunk to mere pittance.
Wealthy depositors are also inclined
to expect something extra in the way
of service-not all of them, but some.
One gentleman with very large bal

To Bilrs certain knowledge this man
has never worn . pair OF glasses at
any time that he has been in the bank.
As = matter OF fact his eyesight is
perfect. He Just doesn't want to take
the trouble to sort out his own divi-
dend coupons. Bill has to do it, add
up the total and make out certificates

These are a couple of questions he
was asked around noon the other day.
He also has to listen 10 the Gus
toners troubles. Money seems to af-
feet people in much the same v,y A
liquor-it makes them laxative and
confiding; and Bill says that some
times his Job seems to resemble that
OF the bartender in an oldtime saloon.
People tell him about their sinuses
and their appendicitis operation; he
even hears about their family woes.
And, Of course, he learns about how

are. Well-to-do people, 1t seems are

rectors, several Of whom he knows
personally.
A teller is often led to take an a.
most paternal interest In the welfare
Of some Of the depositors. As an
example. there was the old gentleman
who had done business at Bills bank
for many years. He had = good deal
Of property and had always handled
his affairs with sound Judgment. but
as he reached an advanced age his
faculties became impaired and his
memory grew hazy.
HE WOULD come into the bank
once or twice week to draw out
money for his regular expenses and
he would find out how much he had
on deposit-always sizeable amount
and then write a check for eyery
cent Of 1t. AS tactfully as possible
Bill would ask him If he needed as
much as that, and the old man would
say, no, he supposed he didn't, and
Bill would make out 4 check for $25
and have him sign 1t, and the old
man would leave with this sum. en-
tirely satisfied.
Eventually the old gentleman's af-
fairs got in such q state that his son
was compelled to intervene. The son
was appointed guardian and took over
his fathers property, closing out the
bank account and transferring 1t to
his own name. But that didn't stop
the old man from coming in regularly
to draw out money, and Bill didn't
have the heart to refuse payment.
After the old man had left he would
call up his son, who would make out
a check for the amount his father
had received and send it down. Final
ly the bank ofncials decided that they
could not allow such an irregular pro-
ceeding to continue and Bill had the
painful duty Of turning down one Of
the old mans checks.
Don't you remember that you
closed out your account some time
ago?" he said. You're 1T the ase
when you shouldn't have to bother
with money matters, and you've de-
cided to let your son handle things
for you, you know"
A pathetic, bewildered look crossed
the old mans face. Eyes, that's
night" he said slowly. "I've reached
the time Of life when I should let some
one else take care Of my business."
And he strode stifny out Of tho bank.

confusion that now exists in the indus

HY DO not believe that any Fed
eral agency ever born had a
harder task than this to ac-
i complish. Here is an industry
extending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. employing more than half a
million men and involving an invest
ment Of at least $500, ,00o, 900. It is
m industry that supplies the chief
source OF fuel for this Nation 1t in
wolves the use or misuse OF the greatest
natural resource this country has ever
had. Yet it has been in a state of
hopeless chaos; there has been bank
ruptcy among Its operators, starvation
among its miners and bad trade prac-
tees due to more ruthless competition
than has existed in any major in
dusty."
Thus comments Charles Franklin
Hosford, jr., chairman of the Federal
Goal Commission recently established
as permanent organization to solve
the problems OF the coal industry
under the Guffey-Vinson bituminous
coal act Of 1887.
Ihe new Coal Commission took over
IT'S duties few days ago, and at pres
ent members are giving their attention
20 sorting out and studying the quail
dcauons of the thousands who are
ANXIOUS 10 see their names upon the
new pay rolls. They find themselves
IN the unique position OF being in op-
GRAFTON without an organization to
operate with. Right now" declares
.. EDWARD Smith, one OF the members
OF the commission, and in charge of
personnel, we are log jammed by the
necessity Tor determining the uuau-
ncations OF our head men. You can
not, OF course, form an orpanization
or make minor appointment. untiI
the keymen have been selected"
Inere are seven members of the
new commission, and under the law
tney are designated as two of whom
have had previous experience as coal
producers two OF whom have had
previous experience as miners" and
the remaining three TO represent the
public interests" Hosford. as chair
man, and Thomas S. Raymond meet
the frst qualifications; Percy Tetlov
and John c. Lewis, the second, and
waiter Maloney, Pleas E. Greenlee
and c. Edward Smith, the third.
Upon the shoulders OF these seven
men rests the tremendous response
oauty OF setting up a permanent or
0nization Of over 1000 employees
whose combined task 1t will be to set
the coal industry upon its feet. This
involves such intricate matters As re-
search into new uses for coal, fxing
OF prices, taking care OF producers.
miners, railroads and consumers, and
generally evolving order out OF a chaos
that has existed since the dark days
Of the depression.

some spending money and the bank
sees him no more.
A contrasting. yet parallel, case Is
that Of the bright young man, . rising
fgure In his profession, who goas on
q bender every three or four months,
during which he spends money Like
the proverbial sailor on shore leave.
He came into the bank one morning
recently, obviously well organized, and
cashed = check for $50. In 4 fel. hours
he was back, still better organized,
with another. Bill argued with him
and the celebrating deposition finally
compromised on $40, saying that he
wanted to buy Bill . wedding present
(Bill had just gotten married shortly
before thisl.
IN A few minutes he was back with
q bottle Of excellent Scotch whisky
which he insisted on Bill accepting
He also prevailed on Bill to let him
have another $40. and half An hour
later was back with another bottle Of
scotch-not . wedding present this
time. Just = token Of esteem, because
he liked Bill. they had always been
pals, and 50 on. And he WAS 50 noisy
and effusive that Bill didn't think 1t
wise to refuse 1t.
But with quarts Of whisky under
his counter, and several checks be-
fore him written in an unreadable
scrawl, Bill decided 1t was time to
call . halt. He slipped around In
front Of the window. got the young
man by the arm, and gently, but
firmly led him to the street, where
he hailed . taxi and put him in it,
telling the driver to take him straight
home and not to stop anywhere on the
way.
An hour later q colored hotel bell
boy appeared in the hank with one Of
the convtvial depositor,s checks. The
convivial one, 1t seemed, hadn't eone
home; he had had himself driven to
hotel and taken = room. There he
stayed for the next two days, sending
bealboys around to the bank With
checks, until at last Bill refused to
honor them on the ground that the
signature was inegible- 1t err
tainly was.

depositor had to end his spree, and .
