vestigation.
NEW BANKING PHASE |!

The family group as the economic
unit for saving and thrift. rather
than the individual depositors in
the savings banks. is the basis for
certain new phases OF savings bank
ing.
The object is evident. Not only
does IT emphasize the value of a
family budget. as was emphasized
by the banks during the recent Ma
tional Thrift Week. but it leads to
a better understanding between the
various members of the family on
money matters. Considerable ex-
perience Is now available in saw
ings banks OF Cleveland and Pitts
burg. where calls for information
on homo economics are avtN aging
over 100 per week in each city. In
Maine an expert is operating under
the auspices OF the State Chamber
OF Commerce and Agricultural
League, being at each of the CO.
operating banks during two days
in each month.
The American Bankers Associa-
iDdhh section, an
nounces a special Investigation of
this recent departure from custom
ana Is formulating plans for its
extension to other banks.
In commenting upon this addi-
tlonal service by the American
Bankers Association, President
strong refers to the very evident
need Tor the closest possible CO.
operation between all the members
OF the family circle and to the very
evident neglect in the past for en-
listing the active interest of the
women in the homes. President
Strong continues:
The purpose and function of saw
ings banking is becoming more evil
dent from year to year. The need
for institutions devoted to the COL
lection Of savings and to their In
vestment in long-term. low-rate
securities for the support of in
dustries and commerce, as we'll as
for the financing of the govern
ment, was never more evident The
performance of this function has
been greatly facilitated by the rapid
increase in deposits which is being
reported by savings banks in all
parts of the country.
Aside from their strictly bus!-
ness features, the savings banks
have certain public-service aspects
which now are being emphasized
We may refer to the promotion OF
school savings, the development of
savings systems in industrial
plants, and the further expansion
OF work in home economies. None
of these services can be expected
to be profitable in dollars and cenf'.
to the bank. although they may be
OF incalculable value to the indi-
viduals and families concerned.
"On the other hand. there Is 70
element in our community life which
has a deeper interest in this tyre
of public service than have the
banks. Furthermore, il offers a
most desirable field for exper diture
OF funds available for general pub
licity and perhaps the bank. less
than any other institution 'or.an-
lied for profit. looks to it's publicity
and advertising for direct results.
at is the purpose of the Saw.
ings Bank section to develop the
work in home economies by it's
member institutions. both active
and associate. Many inquiries e

tion has the assurance Of hearty
cooperation from all parts of the
country"

SHORTS BIG BUYERS

New York Feb. IA sharp and i'm
pnfSsfve rally occurred in the stock
market today following a break in
the forenoon which carried prices to
the lowest >level for this movement.
rne recovery was rapid notwithstand-
ing that there was no favorable news
even in the rumors circulated about
the Street The strength with which
me market closed led brokers to look
Tor further Improvement during the
short session tomorrow.
The quickness with which the re-
coll occurred wasattributed largely to
covering by professional shorts who
have been hammering the list in gen.
eral throughout the week. Further
covering operations are expected to
develop tomorrow.
irregularity prevailed at the begin
nins of trading, initial quotations for
the most part showing losses The
professional bears Immediately be-
came busy ,raiding the list. General
Motors led in the downward move
ment, and at one time showed a loss
OF nearly ten points. Acute weakness
also developed in Steel Common. and
this had demoralizing influence on
the balance of the list, which declin-
ed from two to five points in many
directions The downward movement
was accelerated by the execution Of
many stop loss orders by commission
EoGses. The improvement did not be-
gin to manifest itself until around
midday, when offerings became scarce,
and shorts. who began running to COW
e.. had to climb for stocks. AS quot
cd market values advanced the de-
mand by shorts became more urgent,
with the result that the betterment
continued up to the close. final prices
heing about the best of the session.
There were many issues, however.
which showed net losses as a result
of the days operations.
Despite the sharp rally. many COM
mission houses continued to express
the opinion that the prospect of a de-
preston in business should continue
To dominate the general market.
These firms were urging thsir CUSTOM
eFs to take advantage of The bulge 70
unload their commitments and get in
position to pick up securities at low
er levels.
The Street looks for a favorable
hank statement tomorrow, owing to
the liquidation that has taken place
the last week.
One favorable influence was the re-
newal of call loans yesterday at per
cent. Many loaned on call during the
greater part of today at per cent.

EXCEPTION IN STEEL

New York, Feb. 13-Dun's Week
ly. in its review of business, says:
The severe storms in the East
and elsewhere have caused great
Inconvenience and considerable loss
That financial movements have also
had something more than a sent-
mental influence in mercantile and
Industrial channels there is accumu-
lating evidence. That the main
course of prices has recently been
downward, Dun's list of wholesale
quotations has demonstrated, but
predictions that a general decline Is
imminent may prove to be prema-
ture, and some iron and steel prices
this week are up anywhere from 81
to IS.
when contrasted with last
weeks wide fluctuations. this weeks
movements in foreign exchange ap-
peared more normal. and there was
no repetition OF the recent low rec
ord figures on sterling. francs and
other classes OF remittance on lead
ing European centers.
Instead OF lessening. as il had
been hoped would be the case, the
obstacles confronting iron and steel
producers were accentuated during
the week.
Following closely the tendency
of hide markets. movements in the
leather trade have been in the di-
rection of diminished activity Of
business and lessened strength of
prices.
The multiplying evidences of
Quieter conditions in primary dry
goods channels reflect the influence
of severe storms and the significant
movements in financial markets and
conservatism in the trade has IN
creased noticeably. While prices
hold very steady. yet resistance to
the prevailing levels is more appar-
ent in some quarters and buyers
nearly everywhere display greater
caution in making future commit
ments."

Hoovcv's Backward Logic.

Herbert Hoover's plea for the further
ance of a League Of Nations for securing
the peace Of the world through the cleo
ton of Mr.. Harding TO the Presidency is a
most remarkable instance Of backward log
ic In Mr.. Hoovers opinion. President
Wilson has defeated the existing League
of Nations SO far as our country IA CON
ccrned, and the only way TO salvation If
To elect Mr. Harding, who will pave the
wav to a leagre that will produce the de
sired results
But how the people can expect anything
of the kind from Mr.. Harding IT is difficult
10 even imagine After great deal OF
backing and filing, the Republican candi-
date for President has come out IN direct
opposition 70 the entrance of our country
into the League Of Nations. To use the
trite expression Of Senator johnson, that
violent and open opponent of any kind Of
an international combina ton for peace,
Mr.. Harding has "scrapped the League
as effectuallv as Mr. JOHNSON himself
would doit
= There is now no possibility Of becioud-

Peace, or no League Of Nations and the
