Tho semi unnaul BtaLiment in tho
New York Financial Chronicle show*
that hank clearings In tliig country
during the six months of 1914 from
January 1 to June 30, were 43 billion
and 83 million dollani, a. against 43
billion and 189 in i I loin (or ihe Hume
aix montha In 1913.
The percentage of loss la very small
—less than 1 per cent—and of this
the greater |mrt was In New York
City, where stock aicculatlon has
been at an irreducible minimum Out
side of New York the total business
of the country, as reflected by the
Lank clearings, was only one fifth of
1 per cent less than in the first hall'

Louisville is one of the few Interior
cl ies lo show a gain not a large
one. hut still a gain, in tlie first six
montha of 1913 bank clearings in
Louisville totalled $3t>1,385.000; in the
six months that ended June 30 last,
bank clearings in Ixnilsville were
f1ee,138,00, or a gain of 6.3 per cent.
Curiously enough, (li 0 loss In In
dtanapolls was exactly the gain In
Igjulsvllle. Hunk clearings In the In
dlßna city In the fist six months of
1913 were $316,366,000, anil In the
same months of tills year $302,797,000
or a loss of 6 3 per cent.
IxHitevllle shows up well as com
pared wliii oilier cities of tills boc.
tion. and in fact, ns compared with
all other cities of about the same pop
ulation in the country, with 'he ex
ceplon of Kansas City, which Is far
ahead. As against $366,000,000 in

Figures from Cleveland and Pitts

Orleans and Atlanta are worth noting.
Pittsburg was denied a regional bank

the six months In Hitt*burg showed
one billion, 351 millions, as against
637 millions in Clevland In the same
lioriod ,
The clearings (or the six months In
Baltimore were one billion hiul 16

tributary.
The clearings In New Orleans In
the six months were 484 millions, and
in Atlanta 385 millions, but Atlanta
has Ute regional bank.
MOVING FOR CLEANER MOVIES.
' It in estimated In Washington that
•txteen million pimple dally attend
moaing picture shows In some eigh
teen thousand theaters. This js a
tremendoua development in the lew
years since Kdlsou invented the kl
■otoscope, the germ of tho perfected
moving picture apparatus.
A bill to provide for a federal cen
sorship over moving picture shows
Is now pending In congress. It may
hot ipass at this session and probably
• 111 not ,but its Introduction is h
concession of the demand Tor some
such legislation as that. Such a great
agency for education is fraught with
tremendous possihllliles for good or
*vli, and It must be directed into right
channels and restrained, if lie pos
sibilities for good are attained and
its dangers of evil minimized
We have before remarked upon the
fact that ao many picture reels are
nut on portra>lng crime, breech of
trust, unfaithfulness. Ingratitude and
other themes which are neither
wholesome nor justifiable. One who
judges life by the moving-picture
oramss would be likely to distrust
all others. The responsibility for
iln-*,, conditions dees not rest upon
the local theater managements, but
upon the sources of Tllm supply snd
distribution. In our judgment pic
tures can be put on the, will appeal
to the better natures of men. women
end children and that will stimulate
morality, honesty snd fidelity to trust
snd at the same time afford an at
tractive show. The dramatists whose
llota are worked out in motion pic-
ture films must be taught that the
public does not desire or certainly
does not prefer such pictures. Of
course, many people patronize the
picture-plays because they constitute
an inexpensive source of popular di
version and amusement, but we are
convinced that the public will quite
a« liberally patronize shows with a
more elevating theme and with less
of human weakness and human wick
edness portrayed and to a great ex
tent condoned.

JESSIE’S SUMMER
Once upon a time Jessie’s mother
told uer that they were all going to
si end the summer at the beach. They
had always been to the country be
fore and so she had never seen the
sea. Jessie was so glad that she
could hardly wait until toe time came
tor them to start.
Her father bought her a little suit
case just big enough for he> tiny
things and she packed it several times
before she thought it was just right.
She enjoyed the ride on the train and
kept ner little face close to the win
dow most all of the way. When they
got to the cottage the water was a
long way from the stone step* that
led down to it.
Jessie called to her father and said;
"Is this our cottage? I thought the
water was very near.”
Her father laughed and said: "Walt
Jessie until tomorrow.”
When sne woke the next morning
she ran to the window and saw that
the water was nearly up lo the stone
sto|m. She ran to her father and
said: “Oh, look where the water is
now, nearly up to tho stone steps."
Her Tatiier laughed and s:.ld “What
did I tell you last nlgnt ?’’ and then
he told her that soon It would be
away out where she saw It the night
before.
Jessie put on her bathing suit and
had a nle e bath, then she played
among Ihe rocks and sand, finding
lots or pretty shells and stones Little
fsohes darted In and out among tne
pools of water and seaward and .lesßie
caught several In her tiny pall, but
soon let them go ns her father told
her lie wns afraid they would hot live
In the pall.
Her father showed her where there
were pretty star fish nnd 'now to
catch and dry them, so she could
take them home with her and also
bow to Mg clams, and bring to her
mother to cook. What fun it all wns.
She grew as brown as s little In
dian and bad so much to tell her lit
tle friends when she got homo It
seemed as though she would npver be
through lolling.

THE GIRL THAT LOITERED.
"I want you to come right, home
from school Uils afternoon,” said
Mary’s mother as Mary started for
school. “1 have something to do and
joti must stay with the baby.” Mary
intended to obey her mother, butt

street after school she stopped to talk
with flome of her playmates.
Her mother saw her from the win

chair, where she thought he would be

but just before reaching the house
she met a little girl who asked her
to go to the store with her.
Mary forgot all about the little
brother and went with her. It was
an hour before they returned and just
as Mary came in sight of her home
she saw smoke coming from one o!

THE WAYS OF THRIFT
rtnpyrigbted, 1914. American Society
for Thrift.
VALUE OF “FIRELESS COOKING."
The fireless cooker embodies a sim
ple, primitive method of preparing
food. —so simple, in fact, that tho peo
ple who pin their faith to an article
In proportion to Its complication and
expense, have not waked to the value
of this time and labor saver.
To begin with its first cost may be very
slight. Many a boy has built a suc
cessful fireless cooker for Ills mother.
A woman living tn a small New York
city apartment made one herself by
combining a small metal Icebox and
a wooden packing box. However, for
the housekeepers who have neither a
helpful son to make their fireless
cookers nor the ability to put together
their own, these contrivances for thrift
are sold at all prices, from two dollars
up.
The results of the use of the fireless
cooker may ho partially summed up in
fuel, time and labor saved; hot kitch
ens are eliminated; pots and kettles
are not difficnlt to wash; meats nnd
vegetables are more thoroughly cook
td. and the richness of their flavor is
retained. The Journal of Home Kco
noniics slates that the cost of fuel
can he reduced from five-eighths to
nine-tenths: "To prove the truth or
fallacy of these claims and to judge
these appliances, in comparison with
the gn* range as to economy of time
and labor, and as to the palatabtllty
of products, the same articles of food
were cooked In the gas range, the fire

What a Woman
Deserves
BY DOROTHY DIX.
A few days ago 1 wrote an article
In which 1 said that 1 had never been
able to find out what were the espe
cial and peculiar privileges of being
a woman that we hear so much about
and which women are reported to be
tn danger of losing if they persist in
their efforts to get ballot..
A man haa taken the trouble to an

to die with tier children by her bed

’is it not a privilege to have a good
husband to love?
"1* It not a privilege to have the

"Ih there anything better tn this

ing On the floor matches were
strewn about, but the baity brother
was to where to lie seen. Mary call
ed, but no one answered. By tills
time some one had sounded an alarm
of tire, and the firemen were putting
out the flames.
Mary thought of the door in the
kitchen tnat opened to the cellar
stairs, and she grew sick with dread,
fearing the door might have been
open and the baby had fallen down
the stairs.
But lie was not there. Then Mary
noticed that the door of the bathroom
was closed. She opened it, and there
on the floor was the baby.
His face was black from the burnt
matches and his dress scorched. He
was standing by the bath tub watch
ing the water run into the tub Irom
the faucet, which he had turned.
How he had escaped being burned
no one will ever know. He had un
fastened the strap which held him in
the chair and fallen to the floor, as a
big bruise on his forehead showed.
Then he must have crept, to the table
where his father kept his pipe ant
matches and pulled himself up and
reached them.
His dress had caught fire, but in
some miraculous way it had been put
out.
The curtains were thought to have
caught from the matches which the
baby lighted and threw in that direc
tion.
Mary met her mother with a sham
ed look upon her face and tearful eyes
but they were all so thankful that t-o
darling baby had been spared that
Mary was not scolded.
Her punishment, however, was se
vere, because it was a long time be
fore she could forget, the terrific
fright she had wheiV she saw the
smoke and she never did forget that
her carelessness almost cost her
brother's life.

there was a saving of $0.05096 over

Cornelia French, writing In the
Journal of Home Foonomlcs, said it
would take 90 days fur an $lB fireless
cooker to pay for itself, and 231 days
for a $65 combination cooker to pay
for itself.
"Products from the fireless cooker
and combination cooker were equal in
palatability, and, in the writer’s opin
ion. both were better than the pro
duct from the gas stove,” she says,
"loxhor and expense were least when
the combination cooker was used.
Bread was a'so baked In the three
ways with a similar saving of gas.
There was no apparent difference in
the loaves of bread baked in the three
ways. They were of the same texture,
wero moist and very palatable.
“Cereals have been called the most
abused food for the reason that they
are seldom cooked long enough. The
fireless cooker or the combination
cooker are particularly well adapted
for these purposes. If the fireless
cooker were used only for cooking
cereals and boiled meats it would still
be well worth while.”
Many an up-to-date housekeeper
without a maid puts her Sunday din

to church knowing It will lie well

Joy or misery in that.
To have a good husband, a good
home and splendid children Is cer
tainly a privilege, hut it Is not a
privilege that is dependent upon sex
My correspondent goes on to state
that he considers it a great privilege
for a woman to be dependent on n
man. That Is according to the point
of view Personally. 1 have never
known a singi* woman who did not
yearn, with unspeakable longing or a
little Independence of her own or who
enjoyed going to her husband and
asking him for every nickel she spent.
Doubtless my correspondent thinks
that he supports his wife. Doubtless
his wife thinks that the woman who
performs all the manifold labors and
duties of wife and mother earns her
hoard and keep, and is a self-support
ing member of the community.
But it is one of the average wom
ans undisputed privileges to get neith
