Baum, Deputy Manager of tbe American Bankers Association, In charge of its Proteo-tlv- s Department. This department Is continually vigilant in promoting means, betb among bankers and the general public, to thwart the operation of bank crooks. It annually investigates hundreds of erimet against banks and is responsible for the majority of arresta among this class of criminals. MIn a large majority of eases of forgeries on checks or savings withdrawal orders investigated by the American Bankers Association, stolen blank checks or savings pass w.'oks were the forgers chief stock in trade, Mr. Baum says. In many instances the temptation presented through the careless handling by depositors of cancelled er blank checks or pass books so that they fell Into .the hands ef others was the immediate stimulus for hitherto honest peoplSto commit their first criminal offense. Banks should educate their depositors to exert the same degree of care in handling these Instruments and to avoid leaving them about unguarded as they exercise in respect to actual money because they represent money, he declares. For dealing with the bank robbery r. Baum recommends the situation, use of electrical alarms actuated by any tampering with the wires or mechanism and also wider adoption of the plan of state police forces now employed In a tew states, declaring that last year in seven eastern states where state police forces were maintained there were only 2(1 bank holdops as against 164 similar attacks perpetrated against banks in five states in the central and far west, where banks are denied tbe advantages of tbe speedy and coordinated action given by statewide police forces. The records of the American Bankers Association Protective Department reveal that for many years the odds in favor of state police protection have been at least 8 to 1 when measured by the experience of banks in states, where efficient police protection is . missing in the rural districts, he ays. - Truth or Heroics About Story of Joan of Arc? Although investigators have fairly that Joan of Arc was never burned at the stake, but was told to take off her male attire, go home and never fight again, there are many people who want the world to stick to her story because It is heroic s and inspirational, declares the Home Companion. The magazine adds, editorially, that it is far better to accept the findings of thorough research. According to the article, investigators found records of Joans visit to Met in 143G, five years after her death was believed to have taken place, and subsequent papers recording her marriage and a costly gift to her by the city of Orleans in memory of the good she had done during the This was eight slegq of the city. years after Joans ashes were supposed to have been scattered in the Seine, For our part, concludes the article, we prefer to. know the truth even when it hurts.

The statesman will also tell him if hie political complexion is different', than that of the statesman or the party n power, that that is the sole cause of all his troubles, financial and social. He will tell him that he is mistreated and not dealt with justly by the government, and also by his neighbor, if his neighbor doesnt belong to the stme political party that he does, and his only remedy is to change his politics and vote for the mighty statesman, that in his generousity has put Jhim right. Hopver true that may be, 1 am not all together convinced b.e is right, and if I were out trapping for the cause of Ijis trouble, I would set my snare at the door of the banker, and when that human spider emerged from his den, if my snare worked as it should work, I wopld have by his bull neck the fellow in whose den is hatched and bred the mergers and combines that spells not prosperity, but slaves spells it by sheqr force of their requirements and demands. Twenty seven banks form the power plant that runs the world, that turns the wheels of that mighty commercial machine that tells the world wLat they should do and how to do it. hence It is not politics or law. We have both in plenty, the best in tfie world, yet the evil continues to grow, and every four years the same remedy is offered and like some of the wonderful serums that are offered to combat deadly complaints, the patient pays and the remedy is administered and the patient dies, and a failure is recorded, just as our political remedies are administered with the same result and a new party springs into existance, just as the new serum does for the same complaint, and thus since the dawn of history, serums for the laborer punctuates he laws of all civilized Ith and uncivilized countries, and the same result, failure. What is the remedy? Not changihg our statute laws, no. Just change the law of commerce. and snare that human spider that inhabits the banking dens on wall street, for there, in my opinion is hatched and bred the evils that beset the best government that history records. But how is he to be snared? Not by violence, no indeed. Surround him as a General would an army. Shut off his' supplies, tell him you will board him no longer, and let that be said through the halls of Congress by the fellows that board and cloth him. And who is that? Is it not Farmer John? Forty million of such huskies as Farmer John are engaged in agriculture and with the assistance of fifteen million laborers if the proper means are used, ought to be able to handle without violence, twenty seven over fed Wall Street bankers, that Is said to control the wealth of the world, and yet their business or efforts Would not feed or cloth them a single day, and hance, like a besieged city would capitulate quickly if the right remedy is applied. But what is the right remedy? Who knows? I do not, I have just guessed. 1 DONT WASTE YOUR ASHES MODERN PROGRESS . By JOHN G. LONSDALE President American Bankers .

Coal ashes aerates the soil, cracks even the stickiest clay, and will go a long way toward making the little plot of ground fit for cultivation. A city farmer, located near Phdladel phla, Pennsylvania, had a piece of ground about forty by forty feet, that consisted of red clay on a bed of shale The ashes of no less, than one hundred twenty tons of coal were thoroughly worked into this clay, the proper fertilizer added, and for several years this piece of ground has produced vegetables and flowers which amazes the neighbors. bushels of tomatoes were Fifty-tw- o vines, grown last year on sixty-fiv- e while corn, peas, cantaloupes, pole knowledge. limas and other vegetables took up most of the remaining space.

It is the unknown that comes like tbe thief in the night and brings disaster. ' Some one has defined prosperity as something the business men create for tbe politicians to take credit for. Bat Americas present-daprosperity can be defined as a product resulting from the business mans ability to study and to interpret. Huge corporations maintain research staffs and special bureaus to Interpret the times for them. Disaster looms in the offing for any Industry that goes blithely on its way day after day without due regard to significant trends in trade and business. Keeping Up With Change Leaders of finance have discovered that they cannot remain passive in an age when all the rest of the world Is in a transitional stage. The modem banker not only must know about the changing styles in other lines of business, but above all must be alert to the transformations Which are taking place in hie own. He must be a man of keener broader vision, because the order of the day is for larger units of service. Mergers and consolidations hays' taken place la great numbers. We now talk of billions where a few years ago we talked ef millions. We have only begun our changes. What disposition is to be made of the many problems that they bring will depend in large measure upon our leaders, upon the students and the interpreters who can read accurately the signs of the times, so that we may base future actions and hopes npon their wisdom. The quickest way to go to the top is to go to the bottom of things, and let us hope that among them will be found many who will not only aspire to leadership but will be successful in reaching their goaL d So-and-- well-know- so English Game Protection In English law the term ground game applies to hares and rabbits, which are subject to extinction by the occupants of lands to protect their crops from Injury and loss.
