us. BUREAU TELLSHOW
TO OBSERVE BABY WEEK
Bulletin Outlines Plan for Show for
One Day or One
Week.

In order that the general public may
have a better idea of the baby week"
movement prior to the national baby
week." to be held March to IL, the
children's labor bureau of the Depart
ment of Labor has issued bulletin
dealing with baby week campaigns.
One section of the bulletin is devoted
to the planning of a simple baby week
or baby day-such as any community
can undertake, however small or scat
tered it may be. Features suggested
for such a simple observance include
a campaign of publicity through news
papers and meetings. celebration in
the schools. collecting of baby welfare
information and >rfollow-up" work
after baby week is over.
Some communities will wish to hold
during baby week an infant welfare
exhibit, and the children's~ bureau has
compiled lists of the public and private
organizations from which exhibit ma
terial may be borrowed.
Baby Health Conference.
The baby himself will take part in
the baby week observance in those
communities which include in their
program a baby health conference. The
bulletin describes three types of con-
ferences which have been held hitherto,
and SAYS:
'.All have in common the following
features: Thorough physical eXamina-
ton of the babies by competent physi-
clans according to some definitely out
lined plan, record of the examination
being given to the parents; and per-
sonal interviews between physicians
and parents, in which the needs of the
baby are pointed out and the general
hygiene best suited to the baby under
consideration is dwelt upon. All have
one common aim-to focus attention on
the individual baby"
| Copies of baby week bulletins may
be secured free of charge from the
children's bureau.

u. S. WEAK IN SAVINGS
ALL NATIONS OF EUROPE LEAD
THIS COUNTRY.
Deposits Of Eastern States Greater
Than Those of All Other
Sections Combined.

The first savings bank in the United
States was established ia Philadel-
phia in 1916. 1t was patterned after
an institution in Scotland. and 1t was
the forebear of the 2.159 savings
banks that now dot the country. OF
these 2,159 savings banks $50 are mu-
tual institutions srd 1929 have a cap
ital stock. In che New England and
the eastern states of New York. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and
Maryland the mutual savings bank
which has no capital stock is the
popular form Of institution. Outside
Of the states mentioned there are only
twenty-three mutual savings banks.
These $50 mutual savings banks
have 1905. 562 depositors and approx
mately $4,000, DOC, 900 on depos-
it. The 1929 stock savings banks
have 2,3S0.496 depositors and approx
mately $500, 900, 900 of savings depos-
its. II will be seen from this state
ment that the six New England states
and the five eastern states mentioned
form the section In which thrift has
been carried to a higher degree than
In any other part of the country.
The total amount of all the savings
deposits in banks of the United States
is a trifle more than eight and a half
billion dollars. This. of course, is an
enormous sum. but when 1t is reduced
to a per capita basis 1t does not indi-
cate the possession of large
by the individual units of the popula-
ton. Only 10 4-10 per cent Of the
population of the United States are
savers. The average percentage OF
savings to population Of the ten lead
ing European nations is t~hirty-seven.
The records show that in Switzerland
b5 per cent of the people have saw
ings accounts, In Denmark "A per
cent. In Norway Al. in Sweden 40. In
Belgium 80. in France "a. in the Meth.
erlands 80. In Germany 81 and In
England 80. A curious contrast II
presented by the statistics from japan
where there are S,189, 600 savings
bank depositors. but the per capita
amount of savings is $3.46. while In
Belgium there are only 5000. 900 de-
positors, but the per capita Of savings
IL $3.50.
The United States. with the highest
scale of wages. has the lowest per.
centage Of savings. while the coun-
tries with the larger proportion Of
savers all have the lower scales OF
wages. The comparisons shown by
th@ AU.rac t1Atnata CLEARLY that the
people of the United States have Q
great duty to perform II they are 20.
ing to win the goal Of commercial pre-
eminence to which their wealth enti-
ties them.
Told in other terms, the per capita
savings deposits in the United States
Is 1884. In Norway II Is $62.42, In
Germany s67.73 I. in Denmark $67.85
and In Switzerland $s6.47.

THRIFT MAKES SWISS GREAT
High Standing of Little Mountain Re.
public Due Largely to Practical
Habits of Its People.

The practical and sound-minded
people of the Alps, living in the midst
of the wars great caldron, are &C
credited as being the most thrifty
people on earth. With the possible ex.
ception of the Scotsman. 1t would be
correct to assume that, individually
the Swiss takes the lead in this re-
spect.
One hundred years of peace has con
tributed to the present satisfactory
condition Of Switzerland. II doubtless
has made possible the country's pres
ent high standing in the family of n a
tions, politically. industrially and
financially.
The impression that the Swiss are
not an industrial people, but a nation
of hotel and inn keepers is not borne
out by the facts. They are both. The
popular mind has long associated the
country with its hotels and nothing
more. and little account has been
taken of Switzerland's great textile.
watch. food, metal. and dairying indus
tries. All this has been made possible
by the peaceful and thrifty nature of
the people.
Ii is interesting TO note the classifi-
cation of Swiss savings banks. There
are compulsory and noncompulsory in
stitutions. The compulsory are but
three In number. There are in the
country ordinary savings banks, school
savings banks. factory savings banks.
consumers unions savings banks. and
savings banking against unemploy-
ment. in all. Loaf institutions, with
depositors and deposits, in 1908, as
follows:
Depositors, 2~,025,49l; deposits in
francs. 1886, 975.114; deposits in dol
lars, $3OS. 216.1s7.
There are no postal savings banks
In Switzerland, but the project Is now
being agitated in the country.
Over % per cent Of the depositors
have from 100 to 500 francs S19.30 to
1865 on deposit: 23 per cent have

s The general appropriations bill,

nle at this time, as offered by the
ways and means committee, carries
about $4,000 less than last veal.
The committee succeeded in reduc-
ing the tax levy half mill, and a
good many appropriations were pared
down. Even at the present fgures,
it looks like too much money. we
understand the difficult position OF
the ways and means committee, and
we sympathize with the committee
In its efforts to cut things down. we
guess it is the rapid advance OF con-
ditions which make it necessary to
Increase every year the appropria-

propriations have been going up by
leaps and bounds, and this is the
first year in good many, we be-
