Bankers' License
Law Is Now
t -
In Operation
Prom 2,500 to 3,000 presidents, cash
iers and other active managing offi
cials of one thousand state bank in
Nebraska will receive licenses on May
25, from the state banking bureau, at
testing them to be of good moral
character, business integrity, eperi
ence and responsibility and capability
for conducting a bank on sound hue.
Such licenses are reaufred by ine
new banking law, passed as II. II. C5,
nd any p;ri-on whj ucts attempts
to act as an executive officer of any
bank without the possession of a li-
cense, after the date menoonel, will
subject himseif to a felony prof-ecu-liOn
and the penalties of $3,000 fine or
ten I'Cara' imprisonment in the peni
tent lary. ' . -,The
art became a law, with '.hi f.tv-ii-noFs
approval, on February 25. It
irave state bank officers a period of
three months' grace to secure their
licenses. The law makes it the duty
of the banking bureau to revoKe we
license of any person who it believes
is conducting the business in an un
xafa manner of ndahgerlng the inter
ests of stockholders or depositors.
Secretary Hart of trade and com
. merce is including in the class of "ac
tive executive officers,? who are le
ciuired to have licenses, anyone wlo
. makes loans and Investments lor a
bank, or who controls or directs the
. dailv activities of the business.
This will take in a bank president
who does not live in the town where,
the bank is located, but who has con-
, trol of its affairs, and maice mm lia
ble for the way that the bank is op
cm ted
In nearly all cases, there will be at
least two licensed officers for each
bank and in some cases three and
four. The number of state banks in
Nebraska is about 1,000 .

PLAYING "HOOKEY" IS
DANGEROUS IN SEATTLE
Ask any kid in Seattle who has a
tendency to play hookey once in a
while and he will tell you that he al
ways keeps a sharp lookout for Dodge
Brothers touring cars and roadsters.
Reason this is the type of car used
by the eight attendance officers of the
Seattle school board, who scour the
city constantly for symptoms of juve
nile delinquency.
More than once one of these cars
has pulled alongside the curb or glided
up to the swimmin' hole to the great
dismay of. the youngster who had re
mained out of school to attend his
grandmother's funeral. Out popped
the truant officer and before Johnny
could move he was under cross-examination.
Now the Seattle school board has
made it a little easier for Johnny by
giving him a reasonable chance to
"duck." The board has ordered that
cars used by attendance officer be
plainly lettered in conformity with the
style of lettering on all other cars
owned by the school. district. When
this action was proposed it brought
forth a sharp and insistent protest by
one of the school officials. The ob
jection was reported by a Seattle pa
per as follows: i
"Mr. Fleming said in his commun
ication of protest that as Dodge
Brothers cars are used exclusively by
the department, any. Dodge Brothers
car is instantly the object of suspicion
on the part of the juvenile population
of a community. To make them more
conspicuous by lettering would be
merely adding to the troubles of an
overburdened and unappreciative pub
lic servant"
The Seattle police department also
uses ten Dodge Brothers touring cars.
The various departments of the city
and county together operate thirty
seven. '
Little wonder the small boy regards

AT THE MOVIES
"The Plunger," a Fox story with
George Walsh in the star role, will be
the attraction at the Imperial this
evening. The photoplay was made
from an original story by Ihomas p.
Fallon, under the direction of Dell
Henderson. Virginia Valli, known as
the girl with' the perfect profile, has
a delightful part in the role of Alice
Houghton whose father, a member of
the stock exchange, is ruined by an
enemy. Walsh is seen as "Take s
Chance" Schuyler, whose meteoric
rise from office boy to millionaire left
him dizzy but smiling. Gripping drama
Is relieved by some brightly humor
ous spots, advance notices say.
Zane Grey's story, "The Last of the
Duanes," is scheduled for Saturday.
The star in this production is William
Farnum, which is a safe indication
that it will be well worth seeing.
'The Smart Sex" is the photoplay
for next Monday. The story opens
with a show girl stranded. A goose,
part of the show property, is wanted
as a meai Dy tne members of the cast.
She claims it. Goes to next town anil
in order to get money, takes part in
amateur performance. Wins prize
money. Wealthy young man sees her
likes her takes her to a lunch coun
ter for food after show. She gc-ea to
country with goose, near the young
man's father's estate. He leaves home-
becomes a farm hand his folks ob
ject. They try to show up the girl.
He tells them he loves her will fight
for her. A party i. given for her
some jewels are stolen. She is sus
pected. But she discovers the thief.
Proves she has brains as well as good:
looks. Happy ending.
