INSANITY TEST APPLIED
TO Use OF .POCKET-BO0K
Pastor Gives Sure Method OF Finding
Out Whether Anyone Is Becoming
Financially Crazy.

A sure test for. financial insanity is
outlined by DR.. J. a. Geissinger, pastor
of the Methodist Church of Anaheim,
Cal. The day the thrift movement was
instituted in the public schools of Ana
helm, DR.. Geissinger issued the follow
ing statement to the citizens of that
municipality.
"A common test for insanity is to
set the person suspected of being men
tally unbalanced to filling tank. The
faucet is turned on but the vent is left
open. If the suspect continues to try
to fill the tank without closing the
vent he is no longer considered a sus-
pect. He is known to be downright
crazy. Financially there are lot of
Americans who are surely 'coocoo.'
The boys and girls who line up in this
movement will have the satisfaction of
knowing they are not as insane as
their fellows who let the leak run.
This is a specially good move for
boys and girls, for the time to form
habits of thrift, as well as any other
good habit is as early as possible. But
it would be a good thing for the older
people, too. America needs a new

"This thrift movement isn't an at

Thrift is defined asa prudent use of

REDUCTIONS IN
FREIGHT RATES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Important
freight rate reductions will be announced
in the near future by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, 1t was reiterated to-
day by a high official of the Government
These cuts will be ordered into effec,
on short notice.
Officials premise their belief in such
action on these grounds:
l. President Harding and at least
two members of his Cabinet-Secre-
tary of Commerce Hoover and Secre-
tary Of Agriculture Wallace openly
favor rate reduction. The President
has expressed the opinion that con-
ditions seem to call for reductions in
the rates on heavy loading commodi-
ties"
2. Secretary Hover is of the opinion
there has been no reduction in rail-
road rates to correspond with reduc-
tons in commodity prices paid to
farmers and manufacturers.
3. Secretary wallace has told the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
farmers must have reduction in
freight rates or the agricultural in
dustry will go bankrupt.
f. The commission has concluded
extended hearings on complaints ask
ing for reductions in freight rates on
grain and grain products and on
hardwood and other forest products.
Granting of reduced rates, in these
cases, it is believed, would be the en-
tering wedge in a general reduction
of freight rates.
