One man and
his town
A man by himself is just— one man.
Multiply him by hundreds or thousands
or millions and he becomes a town or a
city or nation.
If he gets on in the world so wih dozens
or hundreds or thousands of his asso
ciates. If he fails, so will a greater or
less number of others—for no one man
can succeed by himself.
Because of this fact of human nature
our bank exists to help you succeed.
You are invited to take advantage of

Use Poisonous Gases
Is Not New In Wai
ran FR.\NC'SOi> Cal., Jan. 15 —
That chemical warfare, which is gen
erally believed to have been a de
velopment of the Grea^ War, was
seriously considered in the modern
sense during the American Civil
War is revealed in Confederate
army records, according to a state
ment issued here by Presidio head
quarters of the Ninth A any Corps
area.
An extract from the “Wa: of the
Rebellion—Official Records of the
Union and Confederate Armies” con
tains a letter, written in l!?G{ by
Brigadier General W. N. Pendleton,
Chiet of Artillery of the Army of
Northern Virginia, to the Chief of
Ordinance, requesting information as
to the advisability of “stink-shells,”
to be fired from 12-pound howitzers.
“They can throw the shells oc
casionally into or near the enemy
trenches,” says General Pendleton’s
letter. “The question is whether the
explosion can be combined with suf
locating eflects of smoko and gases
or whether, apart from explosion,
such gases may not be emitted from
a continuously burning composition
so as to render the vicinity of each
tailing shell intollerable. It seems at
least worth a trial.”
Colonel W. LeRoy Brown, chief
of Ordinance, replied to General Pen
dleton: “tinkballs? None on hand.
Don’t keep them, but will make if
ordered.”
ERIN TO CUT THE
USE OF LIQUOR
DUBLIN, Jan. 16.—Drastic restric
tions on the consumption of liquor
in the Irish Free State are accumu
lating Liquor bill progresses through
its stages.
Kelvin O’Higgins, the Free State
minister of Justice, (luring the
course of' debates, foreshadowed a
big deduction in the huge number
of saloons throughout the country.
He told members of the senate that
the general feeling of the country
was that 15,000 saloons was a num
ber grossly in excess of reasonable
requirements, while members of
the licensing trade themselves were
of the opinion that the huge num
ber of the saloons produced too
keen a struggle for existence.
Among some of the restrictions
already adopted is one providing foi
the closing of all saloons on St
Patricks’ Day, so there is a proba
bility that in future the Shamrock
will have to be drowned in non-al
eoholic beverages.
The government’s chief contention
for the adoption of the new bill is that
it will do away with a great deal
of the existing poverty among the
working classes.

Statistics Show Boy
Babies Have Not
Strength of Girls
CHICAGO, 111., Jan. 15.—Boy babies
have not the same chance of living
as girl babies they are the weaker
sex, according to Prof. S. J. Holmes,
zoologist of the University of Cali
fornia, speaking here recently before
the American Statistical association.
“In the first year of life many
more boys die than girls, the pro
portion of boy deaths being greater
in the first month and gradually de
creasing through the rest of the
year. Studies made in places, peri
ods and social strata where the in
fant death rate is low, show the ra
tio of boy deaths to girl deaths is
high. As we go back in embryonic
life this ratio steadily increases. The
male, apparently, is the weaker ani
mal, at least at the start of life.”
FISH NO LONGER
i “POOR MAN’S MEAT”
—
LONDON, Jan. 15.—Fish no longer
is “the poor man’s meat” in Eng
land. Retail prices of all kinds of
sea food here are exhorbitantly high.
For these prices housewives hold
the middleman responsible. From
the lowly herring straight through
the list to the aristocratic “Dover
sole” prices are increased abnormal
ly, in some cases as much as 100
per cent.
Demands have been made almost
daily for some action by the royal
foodstuffs commission for more
1 stringent supervision of the fish
marker. Fishermen are dissatisfied
with the price which they receive for
their work, and consumers are even
more dissatisfied with the price which
they have to pay for their food. The
poor complain because the middle
man’s percentage has varied inverse
ly to the value of the fish handled
by him.
