Soma of those who opposed the lo&n have been wishing ever slnpe that they hadn't. Stranger bedfellows are seldom found than New York banks and Senator Huey Long united In opposi tion to the Glass banking bill If for different reasons. Some bankers say there may be something to the bill after all. Curious sidelight on the Automo bile Show: Show ssles of expensive makes held about even with year ago. Cheaper cars dint do as well. One large manufacturer used a new come-on stunt at the show. He hired half a dozen personable young men snd women to wander around In evening dress and express public admiration for his models. Also they were Instructed If a group gathered at a competitor's booth to make disparaging remarks in an audible tone. There were even eases of sales slips torn up five minutes later. This Is something new in the way of auto suggestion. New York banks are expected to start shooting soon at the plans to have checking accounts included In I the postal saving system. The German-system has been used as a mod el. Meeting conditions In commun- 1 Hies where all banks have closed Is principal objective. Able econo mists and business men, well con nected, are developing the details. : No bankers are co-operating. , portatlon to their native countries have swamped authorities charged with voluntary deportation. Now the financial strain on foreign shipping companies has compelled several Eu ropean consulates to establish quota systems.

In every little aot of grace, I seem to see bis smiling face: And no matter how distressed I be, I feel bis spirit guiding me. Whenever I kneel down to pray, I think of the loving, earnest way Re helped ua all our paths to trod, And brought a closer walk with Ood. His fortune consisted not In gold. In precious gems or wealth untold Bis only price was a joyous love, From his fellowmen and Ood above. And even though Ood loved blm so. He called him and he had to go.
