Bunn Bank which failed nearly fifty years ago in 1H7H. The qmount was approximately $k00, 000. It was riot Jacob Buna's fault that J he bank failed.

GKKAT BANK KOBBBD I-ock Cashier in Vault and Kacape With More Than $5,000. | M . ii i ? . , i ' I Chester, Jan. 6.- At a late hour tonight Sheriff James CI. How** and deputjeM have not. been *t>le to find a singly' clue in connection with the sen sational holdup of Cashier J. R. Goul ock last night at Great Kails, Chester County, while he was at work on his bo9ks at "the Merchants' and Farmers' Bank, when, after looting the vault of approximately $6,000 in cash and $000 in Liberty bond* and a $600 diamond ring, they locked him in the vault, he being rescued by friend*. It is altogether likely a finger print expert may be brought Into the case, which may afford a clue. Then, too, Sheriff Howzc thinks that if the Liberty bonds are offered for sale they too may offer a tangible clu?, He and his assistants are vigilantly working on tho case. This is the first time in the history of Chester county that yoggs have entered a bank and looted its vault and it naturally has been the central theme of conversation today. Cashier Gl>ulock's six hours' im prisonment was a terrible ordeal and was a frightful nervous experience to him. By means of> an electric light in the vault he managed to write the vault's combination and Klipcd it un der the door so that his friends were enabled to liberate him; DEATHS PROM TRAFFIC Week Reports 61 Dead and 279 In jured in Southern States _ * Atlanta, Jan. l.?New Year s week ran Christmas week a close second for the number of traffic fatalities in the Southern States/ The death toll for the week ended last night was sixty-one, while the previous week ? witnessed the death of seventy persons in traffic..

One book actually said that for men to speak of "me* and ani mals is unwarranted egotism, for man is an animal, just as truly as the beast of the field." Some beasts of the field would have something to say about that. MartV of them don't commit whole sale murder and call it patriotism, don't lock the half-developed children of other animals in factories or mills and call it business, or underpay their brothers to increase profits that they don't need. Senators Edge, King and* Bruce agree that the workings of prohibition are enough to make the Demon Rum laugh himself sick, that drunkenness is rampant, and our political life "menaced." , A K"irl, twelve years old, i* found unconscious in the sIVeet.

Professor Edward S. Morse, noted authority on geology, is dead, buJ still useful. Yesterday, his brain was sent by express tp the Wistar Insti tute of Anatortiy and Biology in Phil adelphia. Professor Morse was "am bidextrous," could use one hand as readily as the other. He had, in ef fect, two right hands. Scientists say an examination of the brain may ex plain that. One thing is certain. If your little boy is left-handed, don't try to make him use his right hand. That stupid ity, which, centuries old, injures a child's mind, is useless. Science might look in the dead man's brain for" things more interest ing that the secgreWof ambidextrous eccentricity. What is it that works in there while the brain i? alive and suddenly van ishes when the braiu dies? In England the body of King Ed ward has been moved so that his corpse, now dead for a long time, may lie beside that of his Queen, Alexandra, recently dead. It is sweet British sentiment, but it is like taking the shells of the eggs from which two chickens have es enped, and putting those shells pious ly side by side. With the eggs it is the chicken that counts. With the human body it is the soul. How close now are Edward's and Alexandra's souls0 That's the question. Pity the poor Duke of Northumber land. His income is $376,000. In come taxes and other taxes take $200,000. The British Government knows how to tax and how to collect taxes. Here, instead of making taxes big %,? r, thanks to President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon, billions are paid off on the war debt and taxes steadily reduced. Happy I*. A.

Berry of Orange burg was attacked and painfully in jured by a drove of hogs which had become infuriated at sight of the dogs with Mr. Berry's party. Knocking the huntsman from his feet before he was aware that the animals intended attacking him, the hogs tore his cap from his head, snapped at his face and painfully bruised his leg. Mr. Berry was saved from more serious injury by a friend in the party who. beat the animals off with a stick.
