your local bank. Then you can
pay all your bills at your desk,
writing checks and letting the
mailman do the work. You will
accomplish in 80 minutes what
would otherwise take a day.
Your money will be safe be-
cause you will not have to
carry large amounts with you.
You will have automatic re-
ceipts because your checks are
returned to you after the bank
pays off on them. And you will
be better able to keep your ac-
counts straight: You will re-
ceive a bank statement each
month and will know exactly
where you stand.
Here is what you should
know about checking accounts:
To open an account, just go
to a commercial bank and ask
to see the person in charge of
new accounts. He will ask your
name, address. telephone num-
ber and occupation, and per-
haps ask for a reference or
two. He will request that you
sign a card exactly as you
would sign your name in writ
ing checks. In this way the
bank can then be sure a check
is authentic when it is pre-
sented for payment.
You will be given a supply
Of checks and possibly a pass
book, in which your deposits
will be listed. If the bank does
not use paSsbooks, it will give
a receipt each time you make
a deposit.
How to Use CheckbOOk
1t has two partS-StubS and
checks. Whenever you make a
deposit, add the amount to the
previous balance carried on the
stub. The stub thus serves to
tell you how much you have
in the bank at any given
time.

change any part of the check,
the bank will not accept it.
If you make an error, tear up
the check, and write a new
one.
What About Endorsements
Before you can cash or de-
posit a check made out to you,
you must indorSe it by signing
it on the back at the left end.
If a check has been made
out to you and you wish to
give it to another, you must
first indorSe it. The other per-
son must also indorse' it before
he can cash it.
II your name is miSspelled
or incomplete, write your first
Endorsement in the same way.
Below it write your correct
signature.
Never indorse a check until
you get to the bank. Your per-
Sonal Endorsement makes the
check negotiable; if it is lost
with your Endorsement on it,
the finder may cash it.
You can use a restrictive in
dorsement in making deposits.
If you write ''for deposit only"
over your signature, it can be
placed in your account only.
You can also use a special
Endorsement to pass title to a
check. Suppose you owe $50 to
John Doe and receive a $50
check. On the back, write PAY
to the order of John Doe" and
sign your name. He can either
cash it or indorse it over to
someone else. However, your
bank will probably frown on
too many Endorsements.

115th Psalm that the music is
of relatively recent origin.
This is unpretentiouS music
designed to carry the Word al
most in the manner of a psalm
tone, and it is on this basis
that it must be judged. In
smaller doses than were ad-
ministered yesterday, it might
well be effective. but the stiff =

lodic inspiration within the
chosen style is not conducive
to maintaining interest for any
great period Of time.

regular visitors to the Cathedral

AS composer, Mr.. Dirksen

Before you write a check,
fill out the stub with the check
number, date, amount of the
check, name of the person Cor
company to whom it will be
given, and the purpose of the
payment. Your stubs can serve
as a complete record of all
the checks you draw.
After you complete the stub,
write six different items in ink
on the check itself.
l. Write the same days date.
2. Write the check number.
You should number your
checks in order, so that you
can keep track of them better.
3. After the printed words

4. Write, in words. tn e
amount to be paid. If you start
writing as far to the left as
possible, no one will be able
to insert a word before it and
raise the amount. Write
pennies as a fraction Of a
hundred. Thus $2.86 will be
written as 1.-TWO and 86/1OO
Dollars" After you have
written in the amount, fill in
any unused space with a line.
5. Write the amount in fig
ures. According to law, the
amount in words is considered
correct if it does not agree with
the amount in figures. But many
banks refuse checks when a
exists. So make sure
that words and figures agree.
6. Sign your name on the

TuxLien Plan
Is Offered to
Fight Weeds

Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner today suggested that the
District might try this new at
tack on the problem of the
property owner who let's the
weeds grow:
Hire unemployed men to
clean up the lot and then bill
the owner for the job Through
a tax lien.
Under this idea, the city
would send in a work crew il
no cleanup action had beer
taken by the owner after a
notice. The notice would carry
a deadline of about one week.
Legislation would be needed
to give the city authority tc
take such action.
Officials noted that high
weeds are both unsightly and
may create health hazards in
cluding in some cases hay fever
The Commissioners today
submitted MIR. Tobriner's sug-
gestions, which were the result
of a letter from a city resident
to top officials for study.
The city's regulations now
require the property owner to
remove weeds 4 inches or more
in height. The machinery for
carrying out this requirement
is too cumbersome to be effec-
tive, officials said.
If the property owner or
agent can be reached, the city's
avenue for action is through
court prosecution. If the owner
cannot be found, District gov
ernment workmen may clean
up the property only after a
series of municipal actions in
cluding legal publication in q
