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' oT 1913 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 1-ouisvillo for the first six months of 1914, the records show totals of $395.- 000.000 1n Buffalo. $202,000,000 In tin dianapoliß. $236,000,000 in Denver. $'J05,000;000 In Richmond, Va.. $195,- 1100.000 In Memphis. $211,000,000 in Providence, H 1., $177,000,000 In Co lumbus. 0.. $155,000,000 in Toledo. Figures from Cleveland and Pitts burg. Baltimore and Richmond, New Orleans and Atlanta are worth noting. Pittsburg was denied a regional bank nnd put In the Cleveland district, but 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 millions, w - hlle in Richmond, Yu,, the same period showed a total of S2OB - but Richmond is to have a regional bank, with Raltimore as a 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. fiLEEPYTIBE iTALEif 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 AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA 3/ ms. fawlkes 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 v hen she reached the corner of the street after school she stopped to talk with flome of her playmates. Her mother saw her from the win dow, and, leaving the baby tied in his chair, where she thought he would be sofo for a few minutes, she hurried nn » —, - , A w*Meo i—oo« U UPON M»«* VACe down Ihe street to where Mary was standing. “Go right home,” she sa.id, "the baby Is alone.” Mary did as her mother told her. 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 windows. Then she thought of her little brother, and with a cry of terror she ran into the house. The curtains were on fire, and the books and papers near It were blaz 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 less cooker and the compinatton gas range nnd lowing results: A breakfast of stewed prunes, cream of wheat, bacon, hot biscuit and cof fee was tested. Cooked with the gas range 87 cubic feet of gas were used In 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 swer It. lie *a>s: ”1* Is not a privilege for a woman to he a mother? 1* it not a privilege to have the love that mother has for a child, and to see that child become one of the great men of the world "Is it not a privilege for a woman to die with tier children by her bed aide? ’is it not a privilege to have a good husband to love?

What a silly argument. A woman t* [no more blessed by a hyppa U"iueauc 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.

Cooked with the fire less cooker 37 rutile feet of gas were used in preparation for ttie tireless cooker, at a cost of $0.0296, making a saving Over the use <jf gas range of $0.04 This breakfast cooked with combination gas range and fireless cooker used 23.3 cubic feet of gas. at a cost of $0 01864. By this method there was a saving of $0.05096 over cooking by gas and $0.01096 saved ov er use of fireless ooufcer. 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 ner in ttie fireless cooker and goes to church knowing It will lie well cooked and ready to plare on the table on her return. This is thrift. life than a man Is, although she is more cursed by a miserable one, be cause a man has the distraction of his business and of outside interests to take his mind off his troubles if he has made an unfortunate marriage where as a woman’s world lis bounded by her home, and she must find either 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 er appreciation nor pay for her labor. Gs course. In a general an<l opti mistic way .
