Corps of Volunteers.

A recreation leaders course for churches

who may care to take part will be con-
Quoted by the Wilmington Community
Service from September 13 to September
rs. Classes will be held In the gymnasium
of the High School.
The instruction will be in charge of
Miss Frances l.. Range and Il. Nesbor,
both of the Community Service.
The classes have received the hearty
support of the Y. M. G. A., the Y. w.
G. A., the Y. NJ. H. A. and a number of
women's clubs and other organizations
which will send members to the classes.

workers who will assist in the ambitious
playground and recreationaI program of
the Community Service for the coming
year. Because of the formation of these
classes, Playground Day, which was to
have been held September 49, has been

THOUSANDS LOSE JOBS
As AUTO TRADE STACKS
Detroit Employers and Labor Men
Say Tightening Of Money is
Cause.

Detroit, Sept. s.-Aecording TO the
figures of the Employers Association,
2s,000 less men are employed in the fac
tories of Detroit than were employed
April 1. Many other thousands, the
number Of which is unestimated, are
working on part time. Consequently for
the first time in a long period, rooms are
easier to get than in New York, the hous-
ing tension has slackened to the point
where a canvass by the Board Of Commerce
shows a considerable number Of vacancies,
and wages for unskilled and sarni-skilled
tend lower, with manufacturers adjust.
ing piece work prices.
Normally, according to the Board Of
Commerce, Detroit has fosting popu-
lation of idle men Of about $4,000 How
many are idle now no official estimate says.
Unofficially the guesses range from 50 900
made by an industrial expert, 10 $4,000.
by +. X. Martell, president Of the Central
Labor Union. How many thousands have
left the city Is indicated by the large num-
ber of empty rooms, the comparative eaae
with which furnished or unfuruished
houses may be had a drop in the price of
fats, and the assertion Of a railroad official
who sought 10 check up the situation that
no fewer than 100 families Neek have
been leaving Detroit the last few weeks.
The value of these latter figures is,
however, said to be doubtful by other
railroad officials, who say that this num-
ber is largely offset by families coming
IN and that the loss on balance is probably
not in excess OF $50 families week They
further say that a. thousands OF families
have been liv ing in one or two furnished
rooms and have nothing 20 move but dress
suit case or two, n real check Of the sltua-
tion il impossible.
The cause for all this, employers and
union heads agree, is the slackening down
of the motor industry, on which De-

EXPANSION OF CREDITS
At PEAK, BANKERS SAY
Gradual Reduction in Amount of
Outstanding Loans Generally
Expected Soon.

Baltimore, Sept S.-Prevailing opinion
in local banking circles is that the peak
of credit expansion has been reached and
that henceforth there Will be a gradual
reduction IN the amount of outstanding
loans At the same time, II is generally
admitted that no appreciable effect Will
bc noticed IN this respect until crop move
ments are out of the way. This period
will probably be carried into November,
owing TO the slow movement of traffic.
The prompt haulage of commodities
from the farms and manufacturing plants
to the big markets of the country will
mean quick liquidation of loans carried
on such commodities, and this will, IN
turn, greatly relieve the general credit
structure.
The heaviest demand for money is
now coming from the agricultural Sec
tions There the demand for funds con-
t,nues unabated and Withdrawals from
the big business centers are daily occur
rences. This factor of the credit situa-
,ion will he dominant until the financing
OF the crop movement has been COM
pletcd.
The drop in the call loan rate brought
nclrased activity in the New York
stock market last week, with a consequent
rise IN securities, and especially the rails.
For the last two or three weeks the bonds
Of many of the leading transportation
companies have sought higher levels and
he railroad stocks have likewise advanced.
Millions of dollars must be poured
back into the properties of the larger
systems IN the construction of new ter
minals, additional trackage and in other
says to make the entire railway str,lc-
ture adequate to meet demands in the
