Bank Management
[ ER voice was a singer's voice.
- - Even in anger it was not loud or
unpleasant. But to Jerry rayne, duck
ing his head anxiously to peer under
the satiny green umbrella. It was a
menacing voice. He had been afraid
when he saw the small green suede
shoe tapping the sidewalk. He was
more afraid when he saw the dark eye-
brows drawn together over clouded
dark eyes under a heavy fall of golden
hair.
“The late Mr. Payne," she said softly.
Jerry pretended to duck behind the
sheltering umbrella.
“1 know, dear heart, I know. And I
apologize with all my soul.
My
clock—”
"Was fifteen minutes slow," the
lovely voice agreed.
“The telephone—“
"Rang Just as you started ont the
door.”
He threw up his hands in surren
der. “You know all the answers, don’t
you, honey?”
“I should, goodness knows. I’ve
heard them often enough. No, don’t
take the umbrella, Jerry. Don’t both
er. You’re not going with me. In the
first place I'll be late to the broadcast
ing station now. In the second place,
after waiting here In the rain for you
for twenty minutes, endangering my
throat which Is really quite important
to me, I don't care to have you Join
me."
She whirled awny Into a yellow taxi
that was hovering expectantly close,
and Jerry was left alone with the rain
spattering his hatless brown head. He
whistled sorrowfully. Helen was quite
within her rights, of course. He was
hopeless about keeping appointments
on time. He always started out with
the most shining intentions, but he
never allowed that small necessary
margin which would take care of in-
trusive callers, telephones, ailing
clocks.
Helen, accustomed to the relentless
timing which accompanied her career
as a radio singer in the local broad-
casting studio was particularly of
fended by this quality In an otherwise
excellent young man. So very offend-
ed. Indeed, that she proved Impervious
to pleas for engagements for a week.
Jerry heard rumors and caught
glimpses of a handsome young man
singer who was now being very atten
tive to Helen, and his happy coun
tenance took on a permanently sobered
cast.
When he caught up with the small
girlish figure under an umbrella—the
rain seemed permanent nowadays, and
Jerry seemed to himself to have spent
hours soaking outside the radio sta
tion—she shook her fair curls coldly at
his question.
"No," she repeated, although she al-
lowed him to fall into step beside her
and take the umbrella, "no. I'm not
going to make an engagement with
you. Jerry.”
“It would be a long term engage-
ment,” he told her gravely. “Signed
and sealed by the third finger of your
left hand."
"I appreciate your asking me. Jerry.
And I do like you. But—oh, to trust
your whole future to a man whom you
can’t trust even to keep an appoint-
ment—It Just Isn't safe. I'll tell you
what I'll do. I'll think it over. And—
listen In on my program Thursday
night. I'll give you my answer over
the radio.”
He went straight home. He seized
the sturdy one-legged alarm clock
which had been viewing him with
alarm since his college days.
It
sounded, in the small quarters of his
one room, like a time bomb "And
that's what you are.” he told It "Let
me down now and you'll never ring
again. I'll—say !" His face lightened
with a happy thought. He twirled the
hands of the clock.
"There.” he said. “An hour fast.
That ought to do the work."
Thursday he walked the floor beside
the tiny radio In his room. Poised on
his narrow bed was a long box with
feet of yard-long roses protruding
from It. and inside his coat pocket was
a small velvet box. He turned the dial
at last and listened. For a moment
he knew wild panic. Some sort of in
terference roared and scraped through
the loud speaker so that the announce
ment was lost. But presently a wom
an's voice ran* out In the room and
Jerry's face cleared. Silently he danced
a soft war dance up and down and
then he snatched up his parcels ami
fled.

wide Program of Banking
Development
PHILADELPHIA.—Fifteen hundred
bankers from fifteen eastern states met
here in January in a two day confer
ence devoted to discussions on legisla
tive, managerial, operating and public
relations problems of the banking busi
ness. This was the first of a series of
meetings planned by the American
Bankers Association in its nationwide
program of banking development under
the leadership of Robert V. Fleming,
president of the association. Similar
conferences will be held In southern
and western sections of the country.
"It is the purpose of these working
conferences to bring to association
members and other bankers a thorough
knowledge of the changes In banking
laws and rules, provide discussion of
better public relations so that there
shall be greater cooperation and under
standing between the banker and his
customers, and to give opportunity tor
a survey of the problems incident to
the Government’s competition with our
chartered institutions.” Mr. Fleming
said in opening the meeting.
To Help Government Quit Banking
The discussions at the conference
showed that the bankers are ready to
make it easier for the Government to
relinquish many of its emergency finan
cial services as soon as possible by
demonstrating how their institutions
are able to render full banking facili
ties to the public on sound lines.
Bankers generally bave recognized
that in times of emergency the Govern
ment had to come to the assistance of
the people where chartered institu
tions were unable to do so on account
of such conditions, Mr. Fleming said.
They also realize that possibly many
functions which the Government is per
forming are of a nature which cannot
be handled by chartered institutions
under the principles of sound banking.
On the other hand, be said, "we
should survey all emergency lending
measures of the Government to judge
which of these activities can be prop
erly and soundly taken over by banks
in their respective communities.”
The attending bankers devoted time
to considering the Banking Act of 1935
and the many related regulations and
discretionary powers under the Federal
law. These were explained by O. How
ard Wolfe of Philadelphia, who said be
had made a count of the various places
in the act where provision is made for
discretionary power to be exercised by
government officials through regula
tions.
“Confining the count only to the sec
tions which affect practically all of us,
I found there are forty-eight places
where discretionary power is given."
he said. "It is a problem of no mean
importance, therefore, to master bank
ing law as it is today or may be to-
morrow.”
Bank Taxation and Solvency
Bank taxation was discussed by
Charles H. Mylander of Columbus.
Ohio, who declared that “the average
American is vitally interested In taxa
tion of banks because solvency may de
pend to a large degree upon the way
in which the taxing power is exercised
upon them.”
To prove his point he cited earnings
figures which showed that, in the year
ended June 30, 1934. “for the United
States as a whole, national banks used
$14.89 out of each $100 of net operating
earnings, before taxes, in payment of
taxes; but in seven of the twelve Fed
eral Reserve Districts the percentage
of earnings used for taxes was above
the average. It was In practically these
same seven districts that the greatest
number of bank failures occurred in
those hectic years from 1920 to 1933.”
As an example of bow far taxation
can go, be quoted official figures show
ing that in 1934 a large number of small
state banks paid on the average $34.20
of every $100 of operating profits for
taxes. Mr. Mylander urged that there
be “brought home to the average
American the self-evident truth that
banks, dealing as they do only In In
tangible property, are not proper sub
jects tor property taxation; that the
true measure of a bank's ability to pay
taxes is the earnings it can make.”

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
«MORTALS AND IMMORTALS"
111 was the subject of the Les
son-Sermon in all Churches of
Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, May
17.
The Golden Text was, "What
man knoweth the things of a man.
save the spirit of man which is in
him? even so the things of God
knoweth no man, but the Spirit of
God" (I Cor. 2:11).
Among the citations which com
prised the Lesson-Sermon was the
following from the Bible: "Man
that is born of a woman is of few
days, and full of trouble.
He
cometh forth like a flower, and
is cut down: be fleeth also as a
shadow, and continueth not” (Job
14:1, 2).
The Lesson-Sermon also includ
ed the following correlative pass
age* from the Christian Science
textbook. "Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures", by
Mary Baker Eddy: "Mortal man is
the antipode of immortal man in
origin, in existence, and is his re
lation to God ... Human birth,
growth, maturity, and decay are
as the grass springing from the
soil with beautiful green blades,
afterwards to wither and return
to its native nothingness. This
mortal seeming is temporal; it
never merges into immortal being,
but finally disappears, and immor
tal man, spiritual and eternal, is
found to be the real man” (pp 215
199).
