Two recent murders in this city
and one in neighboring town, wcle
committed, So far as. the police could
determine, with robbery as the mo-
tive. In each case the v ctim carried
a large sum of money on his person,
and this becoming known TO certain
acquaintances, their cup'dity was
aroused and the murder resulted. Had
these men put their money in a saw
ings bank It would have been beyond
the reach of robbers, and the YES Of
the owners would thus have been
saved
Down in Newiield, Me-. there is an
old farmer named Thurston, who for
some reason lost faith in banks, and
decided to keep his money IN a TIN
box secreted in his house. Some days
ago he found that the tin box contain
ing s755 had sappeared. He ac-
cused a farm hand of the theft, but
having no evidence against him, the
latter was discharged. Had he car
red his money on his person he
might have been murdered, as was
Gingras, of the tannery. or Demos, on
Elm street. but through his prejudice
aga 'nst banks he lost his hard earned
cash. We mention this case to show
the foolishness of keeping money
where it may be stolen by robbers OF

laws OF Massachusetts? There is no
bank in the world more secure than
the savings banks so conducted here
in our own city.
"But what of the Traders Bank
some one will ask. The savings de-
partment Of that bank was but an
adjunct Of a national bank. While 1t
did savings bank business it was
not safeguarded as were the regular
savings institut ons organized under
the laws Of Massachusetts. The Pos
tai Savings Bank is backed by the
Government of the United States,
but the rate of interest is much lower
than that paid by the ordinary Massa-
chusetts saving bank.
We would therefore. advise every
body who has money TO place at in
terest to depos it in the local saw
ings banks where it will be loaned
out on real estate mortgages and thus
help our own city. Do not tempt any
body to murder you for your money
by carrying it around; do not Keep

CANADA INCREASES SALES TO UNITED STATES
~ OMPARING the nine months ended September
~ 1916, with the same period for 1915. IL is found
that Canada increased her hold the American mar
ket in this brief period 35 per cent, from S1l9OOO
600 to S161 900 900 The 1916 period records an in
crease of S69OOOO0O over a similar period in 1913
under the Republican tariff law, farm products and
fish accounting for the bulk OF the increase.
Naturally our exports to Canada have increased,
but this is due mainly 10 the acquisitions she has
made on us for war supplies No one expects them
to keep up indefinitely. but the rapidity with which
Canada is hurting her goods into our market shows
the necessity for speedy return TO the policy of pro-
lection il we have any sympathy for the American
farmer. and fisherman.
No Canadian however. blinded by his love for gain,
could frame an effective argument to why the
United States should be obliged to pay the high
Canadian tariff to get its goods into the Canadian mar

LAST AUGUST SUNDAY
DRAWS USUAL SWARM
OF VISITORS TO SHORE
Crowd Thought Larger Than
Corresponding Day Last Year,
Although Quarantine Keeps
Many Children Away
FINE WEATHER ENJOYED

ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 2s.--The last
Sunday in August kept up this citys rec
ord for forging ahead this year as the
crowds here yesterday were undoubtedly
greater than the corresponding day last
year. There was n slight falling off in the
number OF one-day eNcursonists, the health
restrictions keeping Juveniles at home, but
the spending capacity of adults being that
much greater. all lines of business, with the
possible exception Of certain amusemcnts
appealing strongly to children, Jared ex-
ceedingly well on a day that was ideal for
seashore enjoyment, With strong breezes
direct from the ocean temperlng the rays
Of the sun, promenading was delight and
bathing was enjoyed by every one. A few
clouds In the afternoon gave promise of
n storm, but these soon blew over and moth
ing marred the enjoyment of countless
thousands who were taking their last fling
at this cty's pleasures for the year.
The amusement question seems to have
been satisfactorily settled. o'clock now
being the official time for opening on Sun
days. Screens in front of the amusement
places instead OF keeping people out acted
as lure in many instances and they did
a larger business than II they had been en-
tlrely open to the view of the passers-by.
The suppression of the bare-legged fem
lnine bather was rigidly enforced yesterday
and the same rule will be applied during
the rest of this season. On Saturday many
OF the regular bathers who had been taking
their daily dip with the neither extremities
devoid of covering were notified that such
costumes would not be permissible and
when they came for their morning bath
they had obeyed the order Sheer Isle
stockings, so gnuzy in texture that 1t took
an expert to decide whether the limbs were
covered or bare were worn by many OF
these daily bathers, but in every case the
fair devotees of aquatic sports raised their
voices against the men who had made them
add something to their costume which they
asserted would interfere with the pleasures
OF a bath A few who had not been noti-
fed on Saturday came to the beach with
short socks reaching half way to the knee
and others with naught but high laced
shoes on the lower limbs. Policemen quick
ly detected this infraction of the new law
and ordered them off the beach.
Bathers, who had been violating the city
ordinance by promenading the Boardwalk
while attred in ocean costumes, were
brusquely ordered to the beach by officers
and informed that they would be arrested
for the second offense, So many complaints
have been made about costumes ruined by
contact with wet bathing suits that this
order was popular with the majority OF
visitors,
Equal franchise received big boom yes
terday when the first gun OF vigorous
campaign for congressional recognition was
fired at meeting on the Steel Pier.
