HOME-SICK BOY, 11, FLEES
FROM HOSPITAL IN NIGHTIE
Longing for Mother, Lad Slips From Bed, Eludes Nurse and
Races Through Streets to Parent
Although they gave eleven-year-old
Francis Corduff lots of good things to
eat nt St. Christopher's Hospital for
Children, where he was under trentment
for malnutrition, his heart longed for
his home nnd mother nt 2G00 North
Lawrence street.
He was tucked into his cot in tho
ward by his kind nurse Inst night, who
sold "good night" to each of tho chil
dren ns she passed down the row of
white cots, examining the charts nt the
heads of the beds, nnd making sure nil
was snug for n long sleep.
Francis kept one eye open, however.
nnd wnited long hours until he was
sure all was quiet. Then he slipped
from his cot. went quietly past the room
at the end of the ward where the night
nurse was preparing special diets
would awaken -as hungry ns little birds
In n nest, past the office door and out
the front door nt Lawrence nnd Hunt
ingdon streets.
It was very cold for n little homesick
boy in his nightie, but lie never fal
tered. Ho sped straight for home, his
littlo pipestems of legs carrying him
past nstonlshed pedestrlnns, nround
corners nnd through alleys, until he
was nt last pounding upon the door of
his own home.
He wns ghen n warm welcome, nnd
while his mother cuddled him closely
word was sent to the hospital, and the
nmbulanco enmo nnd took him away
again. But his mother went along, nnd
Francis knows now that hospitals
nrcn't prisons after nil, nnd that on
visitors days he will have plenty of
company to cheer him up. Lven the
gang will be there.

A BANK'S INCONSISTENCY
000
When a banking house erects a building it nearly
always considers something more than mere util'
ity. It gives careful thought to the impression its
building is going to make upon the impression
able public. It seeks two ends"besides the obvi'
ous one of a place in which to do business.
One is that the building should look strong,
stable and safe.
The other is that it should reflect credit on the
bank and add to its prestige.
But when that same bank selects paper for its
stationery, and particularly for the checks it is
sues to its customers, does it consider equally
those same two qualities ? Does it select a paper
that is both durable and distinguished ?
Not always. Not even often.
Yet what could be more appropriate for a
bank's stationery and checks than Crane's Bond,
used by governments for their bonds ?
