It's easy! Just drop in anytime and say hello.
We’ll be glad to meet you and whatever advice
we can give you will not cost one penny.
In the old days, bankers used to shut them
selves up in private offices—and they wrere as
hard to see as a potentate. All that is changed,
though, and nowadays your banker is right
where you can see him and talk to him any
hour of the banking day.
It’s that way at our bank, and a cordial invita
tion is extended to you to call on us.

ARTIFICIAL VOICE
WILL ENABLE
DUMB TO SPE AR
MODIFIED RESONATORS, INVENT
ED BY LONDONER—ALREADY
CAN SAY “MOTHER”
LONDON, Dec. 17.—Artificial rep
roduction of the human voice, enabl
ing dumb persons to speak, is practi
cally assurred by an invention now
being perfected by Sir Richard A. S.
Paget, a London lawyer, who for
many years has been interested in
inventions.
Models, already designed by Sir
Richard, by proper manipulation,
have been made to pronounce the
wonfs “mother,” “weather” and
“Harry.” As soon as further modi
fied resonators have been construct
ed the inventor confidently expects
to be able to reproduce all the vowel
and consonant sounds of the English
language.
Sir Richard first constnicted a
plasticine resonator, shaped in imi
tation of the human mouth cavity,
to which he added an artificial la
rynx, which consisted of a rubber
strip fixed edgewise across a flatten
ed air passage formed in paraffin wax
and encased in plasticine.
Various models based on the same
principle, with slight modifications
in each case, secured the reproduc
tion of several vowel sounds. Others
reproduced consonant sounds, and
finally a model, was constructed with
four resonators, capable of producing
vowel and consonant sounds in con
junction.
j When the vowel resonator was
closed by hand and released, while
at the same time connecting tube
) was pinched and released, the model
) distinctly pronounced the word moth- !
) er.
j The inventor hopes eventually to ;
. substitute electrical for acoustic res- I
* ! onators.

1 Dawsonite Locates
Fine Ledge of Ore
—
DAWSON, Dec. 17.—A mild stam
pede to Glacier creek has been start
ed as the result of an assay of ore
brought here by George Kennedy, an !
old time prospector. He said he had
located a vein which could be traced
for seven miles. Glacier creek is 60
miles west of here.
German Makers of Toys
Turn from Tin Soldiers!
NUMERBERG, Dec. 8—The little
tin soldier for this year’s Christmas
in Germany has given way to acro
bats, black and white mechanical toys
and various kinds of radio sets.
What few soldiers one sees are now
made of wood, owing to the high cost
of metal. Although their uniforms
of paint are just as bright as ever,
and the officers and soldiers just as
stiff and pretentious ‘ looking as it is
possible for the wood carver to make
them, the fighters and their equip
ment of side arms, cannon and small
swords arej not as popular by any
means as they were prior to 1914.
One of the season’s novelties- is a
colored boy, made for export chiefly
to the United States, which plays a
mouth organ when one squeezes its
body.
There has been an unusual call for
mouth organs, especially from the
United States, dealers say, and Ger
man manufacturers worked overtime
last summer to supply the demand.
The Noodle House has been closed
down permanently. ‘ 3t
