What is a
BANK?
A modern bank is more than a deposi
tory for money; more than a place upon
which to issue checks.
A modern bank is an institution of help
fulness to its depositors and clients. It
is interested in seeing that they are
prosperous and successful in the;r fi
nancial ventures.
Depositors who let us help them with
advice born of long experience, can tes

HENRY MAKES $67 ON
EACH FLIVVER SOLD
DETROIT, Feb. 29.—The recent rev
elation that the Ford Motor company
(Detroit), and Ford of Canada make
almost identical profits per car, and
the fact that the latter has a public
valuation, furnished for the time a
basis for computing the market valu
ation of the $17,264,500 stock in the
Detroit Ford company.
On this basis the Ford Motor com
pany is worth $849,000,000 in the mar
ket, and when production reaches a
steady 10 000 cars a day it will be
worth $1,260,000,000 or more. The
present market value share is $4,866;
at 10,000 cars a day each share will
be worth $7,342.
This market valuation is decided
from the fact that investors place a
market value of $425 a share in the
70.000 $100 par shares of the Ford Mo
tor company of Canada, Ltd. and that
this company during the 12 months
ended July 31, 1923, showed net prof
its available for dividends of $68 per
car, while the American company in
12 months ended June 30, 1923, show
ed $67 a car.
The Canadian company reported $3,
106,197 net profits on a production of
75.000 units, while the American com
pany reported $124,193^062 on an out
put of 1,833,000 units.

FILIPINO LULLABY
GIVES WAY TO NEW
JAZZ AND FOXTROT
MANILA, Feb. 29.—The tendency
of the present generation to imitate
foreigners instead of preserving what
is best in local customs was deplored
recently by Representative Serafin
Hilado, member of the legislative
body from the province of Occidental
Negroes, in an address before stud
ents of the University of the Phil lip
pines.
‘‘In Japan,” said Mr. Hilado, ‘‘the
girls, for example, are taught the
civilization of the occidental, but the
manners and customs of that coun
try are also taught with a view to
preserving what is good in them.
Filipinos instead of preserving what
is best in the local customs prefer
to adopt what is foreign, in contrast
to the practice of the Japanese. No
wonder that Japan in the short span
of a few years has become one ot
the leading nations of the world.
Prefer Jazz
“Instead of committing to memory
sayings and phrases of our leading
men and heroes we are prone to
learn by heart the sayings and
phrases of American poets and au
thors. Instead of singing our beauti
ful lullabies, our mothers now prefer
the jazz. Instead of preserving our
native dances we prefer the import
: ed fox-trot.
“But the greatest of our mistakes
! is our tendency to spend beyond our
means. Our old farmers used to
boats of the money they saved, but
! some of our present day farmers be
| neve that the more debts they have
; in the Philippine National Bank, the
greater they become.”

MYSTERIOUS MURDER OF
MOVIE ACTRESS UNSOLVED
NEW YORK, Feb. 29.—With the
body of Louise Lawson on the way
to her home in Walnut Springs, Tex.,
the police today continued efforts to
establish the identity of two men who
gained entrance to her apartment last
week when she was strangled in bed.
The police now are working on the.
theory that the murderers were the
same two who, claiming to be boot
leggers, were refused admittance by
the young woman a month ago.
Miss Charlotte Wakefield, friend
of the dead girl, told police of last
month’s visit, she said, had app»
ently disturbed Miss Lawson, The,
men had shouted through the closed1
door that they were bringing a case
of gin, sent by friends. Miss Law
son had a girl visitor at the time
and did not admit the pair but told
them she was not expecting liquor
and would not receive it.
The police believe it possible the
men, pretended bootleggers at the
time, contemplated robbing Miss
Lawson of her many jewels. Discon
certed by the presence of a visitor,:
it is thought they may have watched
the girl’s movements and finally forc
ed an entrance on the same pretext,
when she was alone.
