better than ten hits a game, while

The first shutout of the season
was pitched yesterday by Carl
Mays of the New York Americans

land American worlds champions
and the Brooklyn Nationals, their
1890 opponents, fell before the bat
ting Of the St Louis Browns and
Boston Braves, respectively.
Tho Indian batters did good
work with the stick, however, and
enabled their pitchers to get an
even break, but the Superbas suf-
fered a setback, dropping four
games ont Of five to q team that
finished next to last in 1920.
Two Other Series Even.
Two other American League ser
Washington Boston and De-
troit- Chicago-also were divided
evenly. The Senators and Red Sox
took turns pounding each others
pitchers. The Tigers and recon
structed White So1 tied even to
runs and hits.
Home runs and the steady pitch
ing Of Mays and Percy gave the
New York Yankees the margin
over Philadelphia. The Athletics
improved after the opening-day
game and batted we'll against John
son OF Washington, although the
Senators won.

tering in popular patriotism.
More than 2l million subscribers
offered nearly billion dollars for
the government bonds. This was the
elimination. The fifth loan was for
a smaller amount, which was over

Here, out of the income of two
years, a minimum of 2l million per-
sons had subscribed for some p bill

Only Books ShoWed.
Until this exhibit of the potential
savings or capital fund of the people
the only concrete indication of this
fund was the books Of the savings
banks, which prior to the war showed
upwards of II million depositors
with balances of above 5 billion dol
lars. And it may be remarked Incl
dentally here that three years after
the war, Notwithstanding the huge
Liberty Bond payments, savings de-
posts not only have not declined but
have increased by billion dollars,
with an increase net of 100000 de-
positors.
The effect produced by this extra
ordinary demonstration of the saw
ings capacity of the people is seen
in several organizations, govern
mental and private, since formed to
promote saving and thrift, by public
ity propaganda The Treasury De-
partment conducts such a publicity
campaign, the Reserve Banks also
and one or two private organizations,
all urging people to save.

bankers.
Billions of dollars wisely invested
eevery year which heretofore have
been dissipated in speculation will
evidently have capital effect in nit
igating panics, business depression
and unemployment An increase,
such as it seems there is a opportui-
ity to secure, in the annual incre-
ment of saved capital that will be
permanently saved by sound invest
ment, will by steadily enlarging the
national capital fund at greater
rate than heretofore lower the cost
and price of capital, give to every
kind of legitimate enterprise a
greater sense of security and cour-
age, tend to a steadier employment
of labor and to a lowered price level
and cost of living and consequently a
nlgner standard or living.
The country should not permit the
opportunity to slip by which the
Liberty Loan experience opens to it
of adding yearly to the capital fund
the great savings of the people. A
systematic, intelligent, organized at
tempt should be made to counteract
the propaganda of promoters, not
merely in the negative way of legis-
lation against criminal practice, but
by positive propaganda setting forth
the superior attractions Of Safety
First in investment.

While the government and other
/ agencies are very active in endeav-
oring to induce people 10 save, it is
evident that such a campaign is di-
lrected to the non-SaverS, and the
only systematic campaign to help the
savers to preserve their savings by
judieiouS investment is a constant
campaign in behalf of Treasury
notes, Short-time investments.
On the other hand, there is unin-
terrupted bombardment of savers by
Swindling stock promoters and an
even more injurious crusade by we'll
meaning but ill-advised promoters of
new enterprises, wholly untried, usu-
ally undercapitalized, in such Specu-
lationS as oil and mining and similar
ventures.
At hearing before the judiciary
Committee of the House in the pres
ent session of Congress the Federal
Reserve Board asked for additional
legislation to protect savers from
Swindling stock jobbers, the board
making the statement that in the last
year these SwindlerS had taken from
the American people more than half
a billion of their saved capital. Prob
ably injudiciouS speculations took a
very much larger sum.
Private institutions engaged in le-
gitimate bond, mortgage and other
investments, it seems to me, should
awake to the duty of educating the
p million savers of capital in the
United States in caring for their cap
ital, once saved. The people need a
campaign of primary education on
what capital is, and what investment
is, They unstintingly deny them
selves luxurieS in order to save, and
billions Of dollars to this saved capi-
tai, of incalculable value to the ma
ton and all its industries, regularly
are wasted in speculation.
