Where are they?
Can you tell right at this moment where to find your
bonds, stock certificates, insurance policies and other valu
able papers, often needed in a hurry? Perhaps they are
in your desk drawer—or they may be in your office safe
—or possibly lying carelessly around the house.
If your valuable papers are in any of these places there
is a risk of loss as well as uncertainty of quickly finding
them when needed. But if they are in one of our safety
deposit boxes you are aways certain of their location.
They are accessible to you instantly, and to you alone and
they are safe from fire, theft and carelessness.

shortage or congestion. Four records
were set in October. In one day of
that month 1,030,211 freight cars,
laden and empty, were moved, con
stituting according to the report, the
greatest movement for any date in
railroad history.
In one week of October 1,112,345
cars were loaded with revenue pro
ducing freight. This exceeded by
14,852 the previous record made in
1923.
The greatest number of cars of
grain and grain products ever loaded
nmmmmiiimiiiimiiiiii
| in a single week was 72.474—another
! October, 15)24, record. In this same
| month records were smashed in the
j loading of 422,890 cars of miscella
j neous freight in a week and of 259
| 017 cars of merchandise and less than
j carload lots.
Covering the year from January 1
I to October Up there was the greatest
movement of commodities on record
The report discloses that exclusive of
coal, coke and ore, which would add
20 per cent to the grand total, 31,.
; 700,7S9 cars were loaded or more by
I 301,1G2 than in 1923, which had topped
previous high marks for freight trans
portation during a similar period.
A seventh high record was estab
lished in respect to the number of
| surplus freight cars and serviceable
locomotives in storage when loading
of freight revenue was in excess of
. one million cars a week. At the same
time there was no car shortage or
; congestion due to railroad disability.
Such congestion or accumulation as
! existed during the year was due to
I inability of consignees to unload cars
promptly on time.

Pt
(luring and after the world Avar. It
was in the days when the vigorous
Lloyd George occupied the prime min
ister’s house that the doorman of No.
10 found the most exciting hours of
his life. Of all prime ministers for
whom he has opened the door he liked
Bonar Law the best.
When Lloyd George was prime min
ister, we w’6re on hot cinders' all the
time. Marshal Joffre was good hu
mored. Marshal Foch was kindly but
always in a hurry. Gen. Smuts was
charming. I recall Signor Mussolini
arriving too. He burst into the ves
tibule and shook me cordially by the
hand, expressing his pleasure at meet
ing “England’s prime minister.” I had
to tell him he had hold of the wrong
man.
The first time the Prince of Wales
came in to lunch he dashed in with:
“Hello, porter, where do I put my
coat. Here, leave it on your chair,
will you?” The Duke of York was
the mbst serious of all my visitors.
