The Atlanta Chapter, American In
stitute of Banking, is one of the city’s
live organizations. It has for its pur
pose the training of bank clerks and
making more efficient men. Every
Tuesday night is A. I. B. night in At
lanta. The members gather at the
Chamber of Commerce to study prob
lems of banking and to make new ac
quaintances among men from the
neighboring banks.
The American Institute of Banking
is very active this year, having the
largest attendance at its meetings and
study classes ever enjoyed. The A. I.
B., as the organization is known in
financial circles, has done more to im
prove the efficiency of the bank clerks
of Atlanta than anything else. There
are more than one hundred members
enrolled and they are all live wires.
The study class on “Banking and Fi
nance” is conducted by Robert S. Par
ker, of Brown-Randolph-Parker and
Scott, attorneys. Mr. Parker does not
deal simply in dry facts but places so
much interest and humor in his talks

well as instruction.

mond, Va. Col. Robert J. Lowry,

Couldn’t Fool Him.
Coming fresh from the country a
youth had just procured a position in
a city grocery. As he had been warn
ed that the city folks would “josh”
him because he was from the country
he was very cautious. One afternoon
a girl entered the store and said:
“I should like to get some birdseed,
please.”
“No, you can’t josh me. Birds grow
from eggs, not seeds.”
Outward Bound.
“I hear the sea captain is in hard
luck. He married a git 1 and she ran
away from him.”
“Yes; he took her for a mate, but
she was a skipper.”—Tit-Bits.
A Reason For It.
Motorist (blocked by load of hay) —
I say, there, pull out and let me by.
Farmer—Oh, I dunno ez I’m in any
hurry.
Motorist (angrily)—You seemed in
a hurry to let that other fellow’s car
riage get past.
Farmer—That’s ’cause his horse wuz
eatin’ my hay. There lmin’t no danger
o’ yew eatin’ it, I reckon.—Boston
Transcript.
A young Scandinavian recently ap
plied for a job os life-saver at the
municipal baths in Minneapolis.
As he was about six feet six inches
tall and very well built, the chief life
saver gave him an application blank to
fill out.
“By the way,” said the chief life
saver, “can you swim?”
“No,” replied the applicant, “but I
can wade like blazes!”
A booking agent for a Chautauqua
bureau visited a small town in the mid
dle West. He called on a man who
said that in order to introduce a Chau
tauqua it would be necessary to see the
most prominent man of the town. To
gether they called on the “first citizen.”
and the booking agent was introduced.
“Mr. Jones,” said he, “I called to
see you in regard to a Chautauqua.
“It won’t do a bit of good,” spoke
up the prominent citizen. “My wife
and I have looked over all the cata
logues carefully and have already de
cided on another machine.”
