VERNONIA YOUTH—AND THE NEW LEADERSHIP r By CRAIG B. HAZLEWOOD President American Bankers Asso- , ciatlon I EADERSHIP is a plcturesqus “ word. With It, one pictures Hannibal lighting his way through the passes of the Alps—Na poleon In his campaigns—or Wash! n g t o n holding to gether his half frozen army by the sheer magnetism of his character at Valley Forge. But I visualize some th 1 n g that Cralfl n. Hazlswood holds a more astounding spectacle In many re spects than any of these. It Is the onrush at our business life. Our economic progress plunges ahead at a rate unheard of In the htitory of the nations of the world and every industrial and financial lead er is dally brought face to face with new and perplexing problems re quiring the highest courage and in telligence for their solution. Ninety billions a year, they tell us, this country Is now producing in new wealth. The rate of In crease is even more staggering than tbe amount It is difficult to say where it may lead us la efea ten or fifteen years. We are moving exceptionally fast. Our economic and Industrial structure Is placing before us prob lems of greater and greater magni tude. Few men can see tar ahead. Few are in complete control, for this Is a changing world, aa even the most Inexperienced business man will readily testify. Our meth ods of adjusting ourselves rapidly to economic changes and of cooper ating are far from perfect. What an opportunity the leader ship of five, ten or fifteen yean from now preBente! What an ad venture It will be! What responsi bilities It will lay npon the broad est shoulders that may be found! Thia la the challenge to leadership aa I see it In the hands of the young men must rest the respon sibility for this leadership.

Business Is full of the romance of youngsters whoso chief char acteristic was working hard and keeping at IL There was a green farmer boy who decided ho would rather stand behind a counter than follow a plow. He seemed so ob viously lacking in sales ability that for a time no merchant would hire him. He failed In his first position, and In bls second bls salary was reduced. He sveb sgreed thst he was a misfit—but he stuck. Out of bls first five stores, I believe, three failed. But he persisted and worked hand. And that boy, Frank W. Wool worth, became ths greatest retail merchant In the world with a store in every city of eight thousand or more population In this country. There was another lad wbo clerked In a grocery store slxteea hours a day and studied mathe matics In his odd moments. Ho became Interested in the doings of the steel plant whose emnloyoee traded at this store. Ho began to study steel and sought a position la tbe plant Ho carried a sur veyor’s chain and drove stakes. At night he studied mathematics and engineering. He did not doopair. He could not bo diverted. Ho kept tbe pressure oa for seven yean. And that boy, Charles Schwab, mastered the Iron Industry and be came one of the country’s groat industrial loaders.

NEW YORK—Actlvs operations la many cities of mall box thieves, who open bank communications to customers, containing details of their accounts and cancelled checks showing their banking sig natures, and use this material In perpetrating check forgeries, have led the American Bankers Associa- tlon to issue a nationwide warning to its members with instructions for oombating Inis form of crime. The warning aa sent out by James E. Baum in charge oi the associa tion’s Protective Department says: ‘‘Heavy losses are being sus- taiaed through cancelled vouchers and statements stolen from tbe mall boxes of bank depositors in apartment and office buildings, thus divulging the aeposltors' bal ances and supplying models for tqrged checks. As a step to put customers on guerd against these methods, banks are urged to In- Struct every depositor to whom they mall statements of deposit ac counts on the last business day of each month to notify them prompt ly if such statements sffe not re- ooived by ths close of the next day. “Also banks should educate de positors to safeguard blank checks and cancelled vouchers as they would money. Such paper stolen by forgers soon puts real money is their hands. It all bank checks and cancelled vouchers were se curely kept tn safes Instead of fil ing eabinets or desks, the check crooks would be denied their chief stock tn trade, namely, genuine blank checks and signatures. Warnings to depositors against leaving blank or cancelled checks accessible to sneak thieves or bur glars should be sent out at once. “Estimates broadcast by surety companies Indicate tbat Individu als, merchants, hotels and others outside of banking are shouldering mors than »9 per cent of the total amount of forgery losses.
