*eople of Today Not
Vainer Than Long Ago
When people decry the fashion of
inkeup nnd the vanity sets modern
iris carry, dwelling on the good old
ays that are no more, let them hark
ack to advertisements In a Boston
ewspaper of 1704, which carries a no-
ice of a store denling in woman’s ap-
arel, says the 'Argonaut.
The advertisement also announces
a constant supply of perfumery, gen-
ilne milk of roses, rouge, orris root,
lolet powder, ground almonds for
•reserving the skin, wash halls and
•owder pufTs." Milady used them
hen. and what with powder, queue,
vlg, pigtails and the like, she and
nllord paid much more attention to
-olffures than average persons do to-
lay.
Other times, other customs! Patches
ind their day, and certainly, it was
customary of old for exquisites of
joth sexes to consume hours prepnr-
ng for appearances, whereas today
llie avarage maid gives the sleek head
a brush, settles the tie of the simplest
■douse or smock, buckles sandals, and
dnshea down to play tennis, hike. ride,
or go to the bench, bathing suit tinder

The average youth likewise has
learned to rut this primping to the
minimum—and it is certain both of
thctu are much less artificial than an-
cestors of colonial times.

funds at interest to proper and profit-
able business enterprises, agricul-
tural, industrial or commercial, al-
ways bearing in mind the necessity of
having on hand, or quickly available,
sufficient funds to meet the demands
of such customers as desire to make
withdrawals.
To meet the demands of such cus-
tomers and others upon the binds in
their care bankers must maintain re-
serves—in their vaults, on deposit
with other banks, invested in securi-
ties which command a ready market,
or it may be in the form of call loans,
payment of which they can demand at
will.
Before the establishment of the
Federal Reserve System—in 1907, in
1896, in 1873 and many times before—
the banks of the nation were unable
to assist each other when panic
threatened. There was no provision
for effective leadership, and co-opera-
tive action was out of the question.
Bank reserves, carried with other
banks which were no less embarrass-
ed. were least available when they
were needed most.
Every country bank had reserves
in one or more of the larger cities in
its section as well as In the great cen-
ters of population, and since the cor-
respondent banks paid interest on
such deposits they were compelled to
loan them out, usually at call. When-
ever panic or the growing fear of It
led any bank to draw upon Its re-
serves—and panic usually led every
bank to do so—the correspondent, In
order to meet such demands, was
compelled to withdraw the money
(Pam active service and the thousands
of such withdrawals, aggregating
many millions of dollars, only made
the general situation worse by re-
stricting essential business operations
and in many cases compelling the sale
of securities, perhaps at grievous loss.
The direct result in more than one
instance was a complete breakdown
of the country’s banking machinery
and a prolonged period of resultant
depression in industry and commerce.
The great achievement of the Fed-
eral Reserve System has been the
massing of the nation’s monetary
armies. By this means it has render-
ed financial panic Impossible in Amer-
ica and has eliminated the worst fea-
are comparatively safe.' But never use
a cent of your capital for speculation.
No matter who comes to you and tells
you that a certain stock is going up,
that It is a sure thing, don’t speculate
on It Speculating in stocks Is not for j
our kind. You’d never believe it. but \
some people who are supposed to have
common sense will mortgage their
homes and ruin themselves in wild .
speculations. The best thing for you i
1b to buy securities on monthly pay-
ments."
“Can you do that. Aunt Emmy?”
"Certainly, and if you start to do it
you’ll soon find that you’ll be willing
to do without lots of little catch penny
things for the sake of owning a nice
comfortable bond.”—Anne B. Aymoa*'

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON BEING A SMALL INVESTOR
“It seems to me. Aunt Emmy, said
Jane, “that it is rather silly for us to
be talking about investments when all
we can save is about $500 a year after
all our expenses and life Insurance
are paid.”
“You’re wrong there. If you save
$500 a year you are doing very well
indeed, and remember that the insur-
ance you speak of is in tho nature of
an Investment itself."
"Well, I know. Aunty, but somehow
Investments always seem to mean
dealing In lots of money, thousand#
and thousands of dollars. There cer-
tainly can’t be many good securities
which people with so little money as
we have could buy."
“Indeed, there are a number of good
investments for the small Investor,
said Aunt Emmy. “Even If you could
only set aside fire or ten dollars a
month you can be sure of one invest-
ment that you can safely make on
your own responsibility and that is
putting your money in a savings bank,
the safest and most conservative way
of making It work for you. Even
though the interest will be moderate,
you will feel safe. Then there are
other securities you can buy. hut don’t j
buy any before getting sound advice
from aome trust company or bank.
These investments are real estate
mortgages, industrial corporation se
curities. public utility corporation se^
curitles. government securities—any
one of these securities may be bought ,
on the installment plan. You may pay
as little as five dollars a month for
them or as much as you want to In-
vest.
“Of course you can never he actual-
ly positive that aa investment »»I1
turn out well. Human affairs are un-
certain at best. When you invest
money, what you really do la entrust
your money to business men to use la
a paying business. If your bank gives

Mr. Luthur McCurdy and fam-
ily returned from a trip in Colo.
Monday.
The tarilf question is neither a
Republican nor a Democratic
issue.
Workmen in this country are
employed, eat. live, dress and)
have amusements under what'
we term the “American standard
of living.”
Hours of work are shorter,1
factory and housing cjnditior.s
are better and wages are higher
than can be secured elsewhere.
This condition of affairs is not
all on accident. It lias been the
outgrowth of our industrial policy
which has encouraged the build-
ing up if American industries.
It is worth a whole lot to the
American people to maintain this
condition of affairs. It is worth
a whole lot to a foreign nation to
have such a market to sell to as
our 110,000,000 people with t heir
enormous buying power provide.
It is of no interest either to
the foreigner or ourselves to des-
troy this market by bringing
American workmen down to a
lower standard of living through
; throwing our doors open to fore-
ign goods produced at low prices
with poorly paid labor working
long hours-
A suitable tariff compels the
foreigner to change a price which
will enable Ameiican industries
to compete for business, and at
the same time supplies the natio-
nal government with about $500,
000,000 a year tax revenue.
Do not muddle tariff questiom
in politics. It is purely a business
proposition in the interest of
American workmen, American
industries, government revenue
«nd the foreign producer.
