Hodgins Nobly Fills Breach in Absence of Speaker Rotarian E. C. Hodgins stepped into the breach nobly at Monday's luncheon of the Oshawa Ro- tary Club, and gave an intensely interesting and highly entertaining address. on the troubles and trials of a bank manager, gaupisd with some 'sound maxims of which are not generally ted by the.public, particularly by those seeking loans or anxious to dodge overdrafts. The meeting was to have been addressed by Rotarian George Hart, but he was suddenly called away to Ottawa on civie business, so his address was held over for another meeting. The president was in somewhat of a quandary, so he called on Hugh Ross to take charge. Rotarian Ross lie McTavish, chairman of the voca- tional service committee, who im- medately called on Rotaran John Burns. Not to be outdone, Rotar- an Burns passed the honor on to Stewart Alger, who, after telling a, story, sat down, The next choce story, sat down. The next choice was E. C. Hodgins, and he proved mpre -than equal" to the occasion, for his address was one of the most interesting vocational talks given at the Rotary meetings for some time, Not Hard-Hearted Bankers, said the speaker, were very much maligned, and were re- ferred to as cold-blooded fish, men with harts of flint, and similar ex- pressions, Yet, he said, their nat- ural impulses, originally, were to be sympathetic and kind-hearted, but by bitter experience they learn. to curb their sympathies, and to be very careful about handing out the funds entrusted to them. This the speaker illustrated by citing some of his experiences of banking. Mistaken ldeas "People ask us to do things they should not ask us to do," said Rotarian Hodgins." They have a mistaken idea of the functions of a bank. A bank is an institution for handling the public money, which is payable on demand." A large amount of funds has to be kept on hand in cash for this purpose, and a second fund is kept in" govern- ment securities, bearing small in- terest. The balance has to be loan- ed out at a reasonable rate, of six or seven per cent, so that the bank can pay its salaries and dividends. No chartered bank can afford to lock up its loans in froen securities, Consequently, half of the loans ask- ed for are not based on proper se- curity. «For instance, a farmer can secure loans to buy stock, to be'fed and marketed at a profit later in the year, or for seed for his crops. But he cannot be given a loan to buy a farm, or make Other capital expenditures. Tt is the same with a manufacturer. He cannot bor- 'row, to build a plant or buy machi- nery. But he can borrow in or-| der to purchase raw materials Yor manufacturing into the finished pro- duct. It 18 not legitimate business for a bank to lock up money in bricks and mortar and steel." Petty borrowers, sald the speak- er, were often misdirected to banks. "They should go to the pawnbrok- ers or mortgage | companies," He added. 'They are very de- oh Paul. & banker's and' thin they are al right if' hey $8 the As A without worry! x The ADDRESS T0 PO ARY passed the obligation along to Char- | serving, but they har b Hs a ow Fougion. » simply to pay Jott other loans or debts." Politeness Pays Speaking of overdrafts, Col. Hod- gins said that few people consider the r oper meaning of issuing a cl c against an overdraft at the bank, and suggested that a little more politeness when approaching the banker on this account would be appreciated, although he hasten- ed to add that even this would not always be effective. He asked his audience to try to look at the ques tion from the viewpoint of the bank- er." The banker makes mistakes at times," he said, "but he cannot afford to make them too often, bé- cause that would make him very unpopular with the head-office, and with the general public as well." The thanksof the club for anad- dress which was very interesting and instructive were expressed in a brief speech by Cecil. F. Cannon. Another delightful item on the program wag a well-rendered duet by Alex. Creighton and D. J. Brown, who were heartily applauded for their contribution to the day's en- tertainment, Among the visitors to the club were Dr, C. E. Reaman, of the Boys' Training School, Bow- manville, and Dr. Pearson, of Dun- barton. WOHAN WANTED ON THEFT CHARGE HERE ARRESTED Police Locate Mrs. Susan McQuade in Mont- real Mrs. Susan McQuade, wanted by the local police in connection. with the robbery oi the Aguew Stiepase shoe store on the afternoon of A gust 28th, was brought back: to the city on Saturday afternoon by Ser- geant M. Bowman from Montreal where, she was taken into custody. On the afternoon of August 28th a sum of money was taken from the till of the Agnew Surpass shoe store. Due to the vigilance. of Frank Boyce, an employee of the store, Mrs. Lot: tie, Wilson of Toronto was taken in- to custody by Sergeant Norman Mc- Gee. Mrs. Wilson had asked to see a pair of children's shoes for a little girl who accompanied her, The clerk went to get the shoes and when he returned it is alleged Mrs. Wilson said she did not want shoes like the ones produced and left the store rather hurriedly. Shortly after- ward the loss from the till was no- ticed and she was followed, and tak- en into cutsody. At her trial for the theft of the money Mrs. 'Wilson stated that she did not take the money but that it was given her by her sister who lived in Toronto.

It is expected that the case will be heard this week: rr------ SUCCESSFUL DANCE HELD "On Saturday night lat a very suc- cessful dance was held in Engel's Hall, Simcoe Street North, Watson's orchestra furnished the music for both the round and square dances.

Many a CANADA WILL SEEK BUSINESS IN EGYPT Appointment of Trade En- voy Held Timely For Cairo Exhibits Ottawa.--The appointment of Yves Lamontagne as the Dominion's first trade commissioner to Egypt is viewed as apportune in view of the fact that the 14th exhibition of the Royal Agricultural Society of Egypt is to open in Cairo next Feb- ruary 15. The exhibition is designed to pro- vide opportunity for manufacturers to get in touch with the Egyptian farmers. This applied particularly to the manufacturers of agricultural machinery, for which there is a great and growing demand in Egypt. The unique position of Egypt in the agricultural world, due to the great fertility of its soil and the fact that its agricultural porsperity is wholly dependent upon artificial irrigation, has attracted the atten- tion of manufacturers of agricult- ural machinery, implements, power plants and pumps, in all parts of the world. As Egypt almost entir- ely lacks manufacturing industries+ which can supply the needs of the agriculturalist, the overseas -many- facturers of agricultural machinery, and implements have found an ex cellent market for their products. The first difficulty of the. manu- facturer was to acquaint the agri- culturist in Egypt with the advant- ages of modern appliances, and in this work the manufacturer has re. ceived considerable help from the exhibitions which have been organ- ized from time to time by the Royal Agricultural Society of Egypt, Ex- tending over a long period of years, the society has held exhibitior~ »t intervals of a few years, at which the latest machinery and imple- ments have been demonstrated to the land owner. The result of this has been a considerable improve- ment in the methods of working the land and an increase in imple- ment sales, The Egyption agriculturist has recognised the great advantage to be gained by the use of modern agricultural machinery, it is stated. In a few years primitive methods have been replaced by up-to-date machinery, and there is no slowing up in the progress. Every new machine and appliance, or improve- ment to existing machines, is ex- amined by the land owner, and ar- rangements made to install it as soon as he is satisfled that it fs going to improve his working meth- ods, and show him "a greater pro- fit from his land. Agricultural tractors are now used on most estates of considerable size, Small pumping plants are em- ployed by the small holder for ir- rigation from artesian wells, and every form of farm implement suit- able for the country finds a ready market. WOMAN SUFFERS An overheated gas stove 'in al STREET DANCE WAS WELL ATTENDED Large Crowd Cavorted on Ontario Street Last Night Ontaro streot was literally pack- ed with people last night between the hours of nine and eleven, on the occasion of the street dance, which is only one of the many features of the Prosperity Week program. The street dance was very success- ful from every point of view, a large crowd being present while a feeling of jollification prevaded the air. The site of the dance was lined with a milling throng long before the time set for the opening of the dance, fences, trees and the rais- ed steps of the Post Office and Cus- toms Building affording a splendid vantage point for young and old alike. Ag soon as the music com- menced the street became a seeth- ing mass of humanity turning and twisting to the strains of the band. Orme Reynolds' seven piece orch- estra supplied the music and kept those who 'took part in the dance always on the move with few inter- vals for rest during the whole two hours that the dance lasted. Judging by the nufaber who at- tended from Oshawa and surround- ing towns and villages the street dance might well be termed a great success. There is nothing like a street dance to bring people to- gether in a spirit of good will. MYSTERY 200 YEARS OLD IS REVEALED Geneva.--A gang of workmen who are excavating for a new road on the Saleve Mountain overlooking Geneva discovered recently at the depthfof a few feet the skeleton of a woman with a steel dagger firmly wedged between the ribs. Scattered beside the body were a number of Swiss gold coins bear- ing the date 1710, and also some valuable pearls, which, it is thought once formed the dead woman's necklace, The opinion was expressed at the inquest later that the woman died at about the date marked on the coins, The verdict solemnly added that there was nothing to show whethér it was murder or suicide that was committed on the moun- tainside a couple of centuries ago. GETS THIRTY DAYS Muriel Clement, who was term- ed by the court an' old offender, appeared in court on a charge of being intoxicated in charge of a motor vehicle. She pleaded guilty to the charge and' was sentenced to thirty days in the County Jail. "The only safe place for her is on the inside looking out", remarked the Crown as she left the court, The survival of the fittest is an uncomfortable belief for those who don't fit, A woman is a small, delicate- looking person who can make a man's feet burn to the insteps on a shopping tour. HEAD OF TORONTO BI. OF EDUCATION DIED EARLY TODAY W. R. Walters Was Well Known in This District Dr. Dr. W. R, Walters, Chairman of the Toronto Board of Education and well-known physician, died very suddenly at his home, 2552 Dan- forth Avenue, early this morning.
