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.

McCar! Tells Supreme
Court What It Can’t Do
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—Tlie U.
S. Supreme Court which has laid
down the law to a thousand and one
individuals and organizations and
told confess that some of its wort:
was unconstitutional, has at last been
told what it can do and cannot do
The sting of the iron hand was
registered against the high court by
Comptroller General McCarl who has
done battle consistently with virtu
ally all the government departments
since he took office in 1921. ^
Under a law passed in 1906 the
postmaster general is empowered to
buy all envelopes for all government
departments, under contract. By buy
ing in quantity the government saves
a great deal of money. But for some
reason or other, since 1906, the su
preme court has been violating the
law and buying its own envelopes.
Not being a government department
the court considered that it was im
mune from the envelope buying re
striction. But there is a joker in the
law. Appropriations for the court
came under the department of justice
which is subject to the “envelope act
of 1906.”
McCarl ruled that the court must
have its envelopes ordered by the
postmaster general just like all the
other government agencies. The de
partment of justice asked McCarl for
another ruling, but he repeated his
original decision, and thus reversed
the highest court in the land.

TALE OF DEATH IN
SNOWSTORM TOLD
WITH FINDING BODY
DENVER, Dec. 10.—A tale of slow
death from cold and hunger, partly
told by word of mouth and partly
gleaned from weakly scrawled notes
on bits of paper, written on a bleak
bound pass in northern New Mexico,
was revealed here today with the ar
rival of Mrs. George C. Becker, of
Denver, from Antonio, Colo., with the
body of her aged husband.
Becker, according to his widow left
Dever in an automobile for Chama,
N. Mex. The man, 65 years old, was
unaccompanied and a few days later
no word had been received from him,
Mrs. Becker became alarmed and left
here for Antonio which was on the
route Becker had taken.
There she learned that her husband
had passed through late the day be
fore, driving south into the snowclad
mountains. A searching party was
organized and shortly after midnight
the rescuers came upon Becker’s au
tomobile, stalled in the deep snow,
with Becker inside, unconscious.
When roused his first words
were: “Why didn’t you come sooner?
I’m so hungry; so cold.”
Then he lapsed into unconscious
ness and while being returned to
Antonio, where his wife waited anx
iously, he died.
Footprints in the snow and a few
hastily scribbled notes, showed mute
ly the attempts Becker had made to
get back to Antonio. However, weak
ened by exposure and hunger, the
aged man was forced to give up and
return to the automobile where he re
main, huddled in a blanket, until res
cuers found him.
Other notes, written from time to
time, indicated his steadily weaken
ing condition and his thoughts, most
ly of his relatives as the end neared.
