One amendment would abolish the double-liability of
stockholders in the state banks. Hence they would be
liable only for the amount of their stock, no more, in case
their bank would close its doors The national banks are
relieved of this double-liability. But they must be mem-
bers of the federal reserve system and have their deposits
insured. This is not the1 case with the state banks.

A Greeting from a Parent
By IRVIN S. COBB
rJ'HE family—Father Jones and Mother Jones and Master Rollo Jones,
aged seven—were tailing a sea voyage; it was the first sea voyage
any of them had ever taken.
I he weather was bad, as so often it is, and the sea was rough as
nearly always it is. The child seemed immune to seasickness, which is

a blessing frequently vouchsafed those of tender age. He frolicked
. about the ship with merry cries and got underfoot ami in people’s way
and generally deported himself as any healthy, active seven-year-old
does on a holiday.
' On the second day of their indisposition his parents dragged them-
; selves up un deck, if they must die—as seemed to them probable—
they would die in the open air under the skies rather than in u stuffy
and crowded stateroom. Commiserating stewards guided their languid
steps to two steamer chairs placed side by side in a sheltered place
and eased them down there and covered them with rugs ami left them
to suffer together.
, , Presently Mrs. Jones, tossing an aching head from side to side,
beheld a spectacle which under ordinary circumstances would have
caused her to leap to her feet and dart to the rescue. F’or, twenty feet
away, her only son was in peril. Unobserved, the restless little chap
had climbed the .guard. He now stood balanced on the rail, one chubby
hand clutched in a steel guy rope, one small foot waving over the
bounding billows, and crowing in his joy as the motion of the ship now
lifted him up, now sank him low.
His mother tried to rise but failed. She strove to cry out to her
endangered son, but her voice issued forth only as a thin weak wheeze.
In this emergency she clutched with a weak hand at her husband’s
listless form.
"Ob, Henry,” she whispered wanly, “speak to Rollo.”

instead of booze. When you feel

take something to eat instead.
Whenever you wi.nt booze, eat. Try
it, and see if it works, but don’t

will ever want to be cured.”
So the guv tried it, and sure
enough, it worked. He got so he
was an awful eater, and he would
ask for food at terrible times of
the day and ni^ht, and embanass
everybody he was with. He might
be riding along the road in his cur
and the couple in the back si at
making whoopee, and he’d top at
a house and run in and ask the
lailv to please give him a sandwich.
Well, one time he happened to
see a man fall out of a window and

yelled, “Ain't it awful! Get me a
