present double liability feature bank stocks state
banks.
Double liability is longer needed to protect the de-
posor nearly all of the state banks members of the
Federal Deposit Insurance corporation which nsures each

cost of this insurance out Of the profits of the bank IL is
unfair TO the stockholders also the double

In recognition of this national bank stockholders have
been relieved of this double liability since 1886. The pro-
posed amendment 10 the state constitution, if passed. will
permit the legislature place state banks equal
basis with national banks.
Under present conditions, investors often reuc-
tant to invest in bank stock bearing double liability and

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, OCTOBER "a


This is an unimportant day in
planetary direction. but the
morning hours are threatening.
Capitalists and bankers are
under an Ill omen that seems
to indicate criticism and mis-
judgment.
Heart and Home: This II not
fortunate day for women.
They should be cautious in their
financial affairs. Under this
sway there may be a tendency
to scatter energies and to waste
strength in unimportant mat
ters. In the remalxing OF a war
torn world Americans are to
play an important part, which
calls for real leadership and the
assumption OF extraordinary
duties. College girls should
seek training In practical oe-
equations including cooking and
the care OF children.
Business Affairs: This Is a
profitable rule of the stars for
merchandising. Changes in
methods OF distribution are
prognosticated. The tendency
toward elimination OF anything
unnecessary and supplementary
will be marked through coming
months. Unemployment will
dwindle. Older men are to be
needed again In salaried posi-
tons as training for war sery-
ice absorbs the young. Pros
perity will encourage much
travel. transportation organi-
cations win profit.
National Issues: Caustic
criticism OF administration
policies will create little in
terest In Washington. There
will be absorption in grave
crises affecting the United
States indirectly. The president
comes under aspects presaging
tremendous tests which he viii
meet successfully, He should
safeguard his health as well as
his person, for evil portents are
discerned for many public men.
International Affairs: Efforts
TO break the solidarity of the
nations OF the western hemis-
phere. united to prevent ag-
greSsion. will take on sinister
forms. Perils within the United
States viii multiply when foes
will put on the mask Of friend
ship. Labor is subject TO
planetary influences that pres
age splendid service TO the
nation, and the expulsion OF
Fascist or Communist elements.
Persons whose birthdate it Is
have the augury OF 8 year OF
good fortune. Romance or
eourtship. travel and change
are indicated.
Children born on this day
probably viii be determined and
self-reliant. They should be
taught 10 avoid pride and ar
rogancs.

cause of our depression although
some of his mistakes may have
intensified the asperity of the
depression. For instance our
commercial treaty with Canada
which enabled the Canadians TO
sell us lumber and logs, when
we have so many of our good
Americans out of work.
After such long preliminary
explanation, 1t is high time to
come to the object of this letter.
In the present stage of our
civilization. diversity of opinion
is like war, fatally inevitable.
According to the views of a
German philosopher. we get our
knowledge from our intellect
which gets its supply of muna-
ton from our sensation. We get
our sen a Ii ons principally
through our sense of hearing and
seeing but the field where we
get our sensations from is our
environment.
In other words. q man could
not have a sensation about the
color of a flower that might
exist in the moon. 1t is so much
so that we can verify this ex-
PLANTATION by very plain observa-
ton. If you go to the sea-shore
or city where sailors gather
you will soon find out that the
object Of their conversation will
be put in evidence, the trend
of their ideas. If you speak TO
a group of musicians and try 10
interest them by philosophizing
about the catagories Of Aristotle.
you will soon find out that YOU
can count on your fingers the
number Of those who enjoy your
learned dissertations and we
could multiply such examples.
Ad infinitum.
In conclusion we may say that
the environment supplies US
with the object of our sensation
and our sensation being trans
formed in ideas. supplies US with
knowledge.
But there are multiple and
varied kinds Of environment
hence a difference Of opinion.
or course later on. when the
race VIII be more advanced. the
variety Of opinion VIII probably
be less striking.
