EACH SOLDIER HIS OWN LAWYER
Last summer a young; rosldent of
New Jersey, within draft ape and
sure, so he believed, to be called he
had clulmed no exemption sold all
Jiia possessions, closed up his bust
ness, and turned everything available
into cash. When he got through he
had over J 4,600. He put 13.000 of
this in a savings bank account and
the balance In a checking account. In
side of a few months he was on his
way to France. Just before he sailed
(he drew and signed a multitude of
checks on both banks, all to the or
der of his wife, each for 1100 and
each successive check dated one
month later than Its predecessor. He
figured' that $100 a month would keep
his wife and ah lid very comfortably,
and allow a.margln. He didn't want
to hand her the $4,500 for fear some-
one would get It away from her or
she would use It for some unwise
venture. And he felt that inside of
forty-five months surely he would get
back. The first check for $100 was
dated the day he left the lael check
forty-five months after that. Ho
boasted to his friends how clever he
was. This is what happonod: The
. first check and the second went
through all right; by the third month
the bank got wind1 of th9 fact that nc
had gono to France. Thuy declined
to pay any further checks.
Now why? Because, In the first
place, a bank will not 'honor a check
after the death of the drawer. Sec
ond, the bank could not know, at any
moment that they caBhed one of these
checks, that the man was then alive,
The wife found herself with a long
string of- checks on her bands, all
perfeotly good as agalnBt the man'B
estate, iperhaps which estate would
come to !hor anyway but which
practically were of no use because the
bank wouldn t honor them. Moral.
do not try to scheme -things out for
yourseir. Your bank account is the
easiest of all your possessions to deal
with. For thiB reason in every case
your bank, if you toll them what you
want, will have you and your wife
Blgn the proper forms which they
carry in stock for almost any emer
gency. Beware of mere powers of at
torney. Death revokes them.
Plans are now under way, accord-
- lng to announcement made by the
National Tuhorculosls Association for
five great conferences covering tho
country In geographical sections
from Atlantic to Pacific, to consider
practical measures for coping with
tuberculosis us a war problem. Start
ing In the northwestern statos, thlaH
sorieB of gatherings will extend; next
to the southwestern group, and then
work eastward, taking In the south,
the middle Atluntlc section and end
ing with 'Now England. MonnB of
providing ndequato care for tho thou
sands of soldiers and sailors already
discharged from the army and navy
on account of tuberculosis and the
mill groater number rejected In the
draft for the same roason will bo one
of fahe main questions dismissed. The
closely related question of educating
the civilian population more fully re
garding tuberculosis during the war
and thus combatting Its further
spread in the community at largo,
will also be considered. Not Iobs than
1,000,000 persons In the United
Statos, the National Tuberculosis As
sociation states, are today nfflleted
with this disease, tho animal death
toll from which Is upward of 150,000.
