"Fentury when, in an editorial ca

pacity, I was connected with 'Life,' says Thomas L. Masson in the New York, "Herald," "we made it a rule never to make any strained effort to get into the paper anything humorous, and it became a venerable joke with us that some day or other we would issue a humorous number. We see 'Punch' constantly pub lishing the most serious things. For example, one of the most moving poems of the war ('In Flanders Fields') was published in 'Punch.' Humor's true purpose is to act as a leaven. . . . One is reminded of that old anecdote of the one-time editor of 'Punch' when a fellowguest at a dinner table asked him if he ever got anything good for his paper. 'Oh dear, yes,' was the reply. Then,' said the other, 'Why don't you publish it?'"

The catalogues of the great mail-order houses are among the most interesting examples of American typography, issued as they are for gratuitous distribution yet costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the aggregate. One of these huge catalogues that has lately come to our desk-that of Montgomery Ward & Co., of Chicago-contains one page printed in twelve different languages, for the benefit of the various races that fill America's melting-pot. These are, as printed in the book: Czechoslovacky, Deutsch, Espanol, Français, Hollandsh, Italiano, Norsk, Polskie, Portuguese, Russian, Suomea, Svenska. The announcement is made in each language that orders written in that language will receive just as prompt attention as if written in English. "Suomea," in the above list, the reader may be reminded, refers to the Finnish language.

Under the heading "The Best Old One" the "Journal" of the American Medical Association prints this:

There was a doctor by the name of Beck

Who fell in a well and broke his neck.

It served him right;

The fault was his own:

He should have tended the sick and let the well alone.

Behind closed iron gateways at the Palace of Sans Souci, in Potsdam, near Berlin, lies an unkempt and grass-grown driveway. It was once the main approach to the palace, which was built by Frederick the Great. But Napoleon, as the conqueror of Prussia, used that driveway when he lived for a while at Sans Souci, and on his downfall the road he used was blocked up and a new one built. So says a contributor to the New! York "Times," who has recently visited Potsdam and found it redolent of the memories of Frederick the Great and trying to forget the sojourn of William II. He recalls Napoleon's tribute to Frederick as he and his officers stood before the old warrior's tomb: "Hats

Who buys a buggy in these days of the omnipotent motor car? Apparently plenty of people, for the Carriage Builders' National Association has just held its fiftieth anniversary jubilee meeting in New York. Its secretary says: "Notwithstanding the growth of the automobile, the carriage trade is not dead and can never die. There will always be a place for the horse and buggy as long as there are farms in America. Prosperous farmers nowadays not only have their automobiles, but keep buggies, too, for traveling over roads that are sure death to rubber tires."

The word "sox" as a plural of "sock" is often seen in placards in shop windows, though it seems to have no place in the dictionaries. A New York butcher has in his window a sign, "Roasting Chix." Perhaps the locksmiths and clockmakers may yet have their signs read, in large letters, LOX and CLOX, for the word smallpox has become the accepted form, though we have to think a moment before we remember that it simply denotes "small pocks," or scars.

A booklet called "Art in New York," which is on sale at news-stands and bookstores in the city, will help the sightseer to find some noteworthy artistic achievements which perhaps he might otherwise miss. "Starred" items picked out at random from the booklet are interesting:

To Men of Business

To men of business, "big" and "little."

To farmers to all who toil with hand or brain.

To stimulate "thrift and saving" among the millions who labor-such as the world has never before seen.

To stabilize business, build confidence, pour the oil of peace and prosperity on the troubled waters of unrest.

To get for YOU who are now "thrifty" 4 per cent, compounded semi-annually, on your "daily balance" of every surplus dollar you possesseven the dollars in your pocket, cash drawer and safe.

To get for YOU whenever you want to "borrow" money, all you want and ean adequately secure, for long time" or "short time," at the "market price for money."

Without an iota of "flat" fallacy, without an atom of "inflation."

Without a shadow of "injustice" or of "favoritism" to any "class" or "interest." To do all this:

Unfetter the existing Postal Savings Bank, now "shackled"-"hamstrung"-by cunning, short-sighted greed.

THRIFT and PROSPERITY, Peace, Honor

The Gist of It All

The nation has had a Postal Savings
Bank since January, 1911.

Every other savings bank in the world
makes at least the pretense of serving the
interest of depositors, getting for them
the largest possible returns consistent
with safety and availability.

The Postal Savings Bank has been shackled by the opposite rule, attempting to get from depositors as much money as possible for the least possible interest, paying them only 2 per cent per annum, on money left in the bank at least one year. In practice this return is less than 11⁄2 per cent. Furthermore, the law permits the funds now in the Postal Savings Bank to be loaned to commercial banks at 24 per cent, the banks loaning it to the Government, and to the people, at anywhere from two to four and five times that rate, and yet at no time has the market price for money on the solidest security been less than 32 to 4 per cent, and today, as everyone knows, is 6% to 8 and 9 per cent. It is now proposed:

First-The Postal Savings Bank shall be open and accessible to all without limit as to amounts that may be deposited, and interest thereon paid for any period of time, as is customary with commercial banks.

Second-These deposits shall be loaned at the market price for money on security that is good beyond question. This should make, in these times, the net income for deposits at least 6 per

cent, gradually diminishing to 5 or less as world prosperity returns.

Third-Four per cent semi-annual compound interest will go directly to depositors.

Fourth-The balance of the profits shall be paid twice a year into the United States Treasury, thus making possible the reduction of taxes and thereby benefiting the whole citizenship, including, of course, the depositors. This, it is estimated, should bring into the U. S. Treasury, without taxing anybody one cent, an annual income of at least $120,000,000, to possibly $300,000,000 or more.

Fifth-Every banking institution in the United States in good standing may become an agent for the Postal Savings Bank, both to receive deposits and to make loans, receiving for such service a small commission on both deposits and loans.

The Postal Savings Bank will thus become the greatest and strongest bank in the world, one vast national reservoir of the people's savings, available for loans to all who furnish proper security. There will be no favoritism to any class or interests-practically no limitation to loans except the limitation of good security and use in harmony with public good.

Sixth-The present gold standard is not affected and will be permanently maintained, yet gold is made no longer either fetish or a scarecrow.

Seventh-The Postal Savings Bank will be placed beyond the power of domination by any interest or class. It will have no power of either inflation or contraction, these powers being left in the exclusive possession of the existing Federal Reserve Banks.

Eighth-It will quickly mobilize and put into ordinary bank channels over three billion dollars ($3,000,000,000) of money not now in any bankthe identical kind of money that is now the foundation resource of all banks.

Ninth-With this bill in operation there will be scores of millions of depositors, instead of half a million a8 at present, with deposits exceeding thirty billions, possibly soon nearer one hundred billions, instead of one hundred and fifty-five million deposits as when this is written.
