WELCOMED AS RIGHT SORT
Newcomer's Record Made Him HU
glble to Inner Cirelee of Indi-
ana's Big Penitentiary.
Frank P. Lltschert, secretary to
Governor Goodrich, spent several days
at the state prison, Michigan City, re-
cently, and being fortunate enough to
get out again is telling the following
yarn: -
Warden Fogarty of the prison likes
to make as easy as he can the hard
lot of the prisoners, and has arranged
for ball games at intervals within the
prison walls. Convicts form the
teams, and while there is some diffi-
culty in getting one to act as umpire,
the games usually are pulled off in
good style.
A visitor from South Bend was at
ithe prison one day when a game was
scheduled, and being a former ball
player It was suggested that he put
onthe prison uniform and get into the
game "Incog" and put a little profes-
sional "pep" into it.
Eventually the "ringer" was all fit-
ted out and was placed In the lot. He
was sitting on the bench when a typ-
ical convict "hard guy" swaggered up
to him and sympathetically Inquired:
"Hello, bo I What ya In fer?"
The outsider was nonplused, but re-
covering in a moment he replied:
\"Oh, I beaned a guy."
"Did ya put '1m clean out?" again
Inquired the hard guy, with- profes-
sional interest.
"Yep," said the ringer. *
Whereupon the convict, fraternal to
the core, gleefully commented:
"Atta boy 1"—Indianapolis News.
HAVE NEW SENSE OF DUTY
America Probably Has Taught Much
to French Women ef the Hlgfc
est Social Position.
They were handing out pots and
pans to the returned refugees at
Helms that day.
It was really a very gay occasion,
says Blanche Brace In World Outlook.
The pots and pans made it so, in
spite of the- ghosts of dead homes
(mere hollow shells of ruined houses)
all around the shattered building
where the distribution was being
made, the broken cathedral over yon-
der, the miles of desolation every-
where. Sometimes the refugee women
hugged the cheap utensils to them and
crooned over them as If they had been
children; sometimes they wanted to
pay a few centimes "rent" for them,
so that they might feel the things were
their own. These were not Just pots
and pans, but the promise of comfort
and security again, the nucleus for
new hom^s that should rise from the
ruins.
A countess with smudged fingers,
and half a dozen other French wom-
en of prestige, stood behind the coun-
ter and handed out the utensils. All
at once a middle-aged, homely mers
dropped her pan with a clatter.
"Mon Dieu!" she gasped, "is she a
countess? And X fought with her for
a bigger pot! And working so hard—
what does it mean?"
What It meant was that France
learned two new words from America
during the war—social service.
Smallest Bank Jn the World.
There is a saying among country
people that "the smaller the bank t|*e
safer the money," and therefore the
Wake County Savings bank, at Ra-
leigh, N. Cm should be the safest bank
In America, since It Is the smallest.
Of course, It Is a trifle larger than a
sock and easier to- get money out of
than the tin banks or the china pigs
of one's childhood, but It manages to
gather In a very great deal of money
In the minimum space.
As a matter of fact, originally the
space occupied by the bank was a hall-
way Into the building back of It. Some
changes In the architecture of the
place made the hallway unnecessary,
and so the savings bank decided on an
"office" there. Now it Is a "regular
bank/' with an imposing entrance—
and that is about all. Its frontage, te
be exact. Is 7% feet.
"Bachelor of Commerce."
The plan of the University of Lon-
don to grant degrees In commerce is
attracting much attention. Under this
scheme it is proposed to grant the de-
gree of bachelor of commerce to can-
didates who pass the necessary exam-
inations after a three years' course ef
study. Those who so desire may later
proceed to the degree of msster of
commerce, after a minimum of two
years' practical experience In the par-
ticular trade or industry taken up.
The first year's course comprises the
compulsory subjects of organisation of
Industry, banking, trade and transpeft;
tuodern economic development of "the
British empire and of the chief for-
eign countries; elementary commercial
law. and statistical method. The sec-
ond and final year will be devoted to
specialization.
