JUNIOR ORAUDUBQNCLASSES
TO Be SPECIAL ACTIVITY
District Branch Executive Commit
tee to Map Out Its Work
Tomorrow,

Plans for the seasons activities of
| the District Audubon Society are to be
discussed at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee tomorrow afternoon at
4:45 o'clock, at the home of the presi-
dent. Justice Job Barnard, at 1906
Rhode Island avenue northwest One
OF the features of the work which may
be brought to the attention of the COM
| mittee is that branch dealing with the
| formation of junior Audubon classes
| In Washington there are about 100
young persons enrolled in these classes.
| Special efforts are being made all over
the country by the national organiza-
| ton.
Funds amounting to $4,000 have been
subscribed by philanthropists for the
extension of this branch of Audubon
work. How it is now carried on is
| described follows by, bulletin
which has been sent out from the
headquarters of the National .Associa-
tion of Audubon Societies:
| Any teacher or other person who
| class of ten pupils or more. Each OF
these members is required to pay a fee
| of 10 cents. The teacher will send
! these fees to the National Association
OF Audubon Societies. in New York,
| giving the name of the class and his or
her own name and address, or in some
| circumstances the fees are sent to a
| state society.
| Each to Rec. Button.
| The association or state society will
then forward to the teachers for each
member whose fee has been paid an
Audubon button, and set of ten COL
ored pictures of birds. the list of which
is changed every year, and with them
will go outline drawings. suitable for
| color:ng by the children, and descrip-
tive leaflets. The teacher reporting the
/; class will also receive, free of cost for
| one year, the illustrated magazine Bird
| Lore, which contains many valuable
| suggestions for teachers
| Should the class then, or subsequently,
be enlarged, a button and a set of leaf
| let's will be added for each new mem
! Der until the end of the schoo, year. In
| return, it is expected that the teacher
| shall give at least one lesson Il mont Il
on the subject of birds, and that the
| Leaflets shall serve as basis for the
| lessons, but experience shows that
usually much more than this is done.
| Full information as to the details of
| this plan, and a. simple form of or
| ganization for a class, may be had by
| addressing a request to the national
/ association. The list of ten birds to
| be studied this year includes the brown
| thrasher, nuthatch, bluebird. downy
| woodpecker. Baltimore oriole, robin,
bobolink, goldfinch, song sparrow and

TRADE COMMISSION
 BILL IS ACCEPTED
Senate Agree to Conference Report-House Action
 Next

Washington. September s--The Senate late today agreed to the conference re. port on the federal trade commission bil Oliver, McCumber. Gallinger and Burton voted against the report. Recourse was had to roll calls virtually all day to se- cure quorum
 It took q roll calls before vote was re- corded in the Senate. the struggle to se- cure quorum having begun on Satur- day. Time Safter time a call of the Sen ate disclosed a bare quorum present, which disappeared when the roll was called on a vote
 Just before the final vote was taken drastic action, such as the issuance of writs to compel absent senators to attend. was proposed, Sergeant at-Arms Higgins telephoned to absent senators. sitting the situation and urging them to return. Meantime he succeeded in getting 49 mem- bers into the Senate chamber, and another roll call was ordered. Roll call showed 4s senators voting and two present who were unable to vote because of pairs. and there part was agreed to.
 Senator Rood of Missouri attacked the report repeatedly, although he later voted for it. He criticized Representative Stew ems of New Hampshire. and George N. Publee, who aided in framing the bill, declaring they were working on a plan to 'emasculate the antitrust laws" and that the trade commission bill was a part of the plan.
 The conference report provides for a federal trade commission with authority to issue orders to prevent unfair methods of competition. The enforcement of the or ders of the commission, however, is left to the courts.

BRISK OPEN|NG|N WHOLESALE TRADE Quotations Are Steady-No Advance in Meat or
 Flour

Business son Morris avenue this wecl, began with a fairly brisk demand Tn almost all lines. Quotations on flour and breadstuffs were unchanged yes terday, but the market is exceptionally strong on this commodity and further advances may be expected in the near future. Meat Quotations are steady, and the demand Is said to be good An improvement has been noted in the demand for poultry and eggs this week and sales are becoming heavy.
 The Birmingham market is now well supplied with home raised produce. E, ans. tomatoes and okra are in al un dance, and the truckers from surround ing territory daily drive to town in great numbers to dispose of their pro duce. Prices are therefore quite low and bargains are to be had by the consumer who purchases direct from the producer.

TALKS ON THRIFT
The Safety and Service of Banks

"Depositors intrust bankers with such power as they have today, and are unlike Iy to intrust that power to weak or evil hands.'-H. P Davidson of J. P. Morgan & Co.
 The value to the business public of good banks can hardy be overestimated.
 The financial lifeblood of the conn munity flows through these arteries in the form of loans and discounts, exchanges, collections and other transactions.
 To the bank the man of big affairs can come for consultation about transactions involving large amounts. while the man of small affairs with little knowledge of banking can turn to it for sound ad- vice.
 The banks help to keep the local wheels of trade and industry moving, tide honor able men over business depressions. keep local money at home and in 2 score of ways help the community. The distribu- ton of interest on time or savings depos- it's, amounting to a large sum in the ag- gregate, is strong incentive to thrift. As a teacher of good business system. also, well-equipped bank Is an excellent school for it's depositors.
 Several times a year banks are thor oughly examined by representatives of the state or national banking authorities, as the case may be. and also by repre- sentatives of their boards of directors.
 The examiners count all the cash on hand down to the last penny. then check off all the bonds and other investment se- curities owned by the bank, as we'll as the collateral on which it has loaned money. They examine all the notes dis counted, verify all balances due and from other banks by obtaining from them a for maj certifying as to balances.
 Sometimes depositors upon being shown a banks safe deposit vault, asks: "Is this the vault where my savings deposits are kept?" Some seem to think that each de- positors enemy Ia kept in separate box till he calls for it.
 Money kept that way. while 1t would be safe Would be doing neither It's owner, the bank, nor the community any good. It would be hoarded merely and be entirely non-productive. As matter of fact. a certain proportion of }depositors' funds must be kept in reserve. but some of this reserve may be deposited at interest In other banks. But the larger part of de- posit money is invested by the bank, 1un- der strict legal safeguards in vari0us con- servative ways. usually in demand" and short term investments that render the as- sets of the bank quick to realfxes upon when necessary.
 A bank must use the greatest discrimi- nation in making loans. A stranger can not expect accommodation. It iS custo- mary for the borrower to make . period icaI statement of his financial affairs. which Is kept in the banks record.
 Naturally, in their dealings with regular depositors, the banks officers become well acquainted with their character and their resources and are thus in a position to determine to how large a line of credit each one is entitled. The ability to bor- row money from the bank 10 one of the great advantages of being . steady bank de1ositor.-T. D. WacGregos.
