Treasury to be- The family founded by Thomas Mellon, who came to America from County Tyronne, Ireland, in 1924, and located in Western Pennsyl- vauia. He became lawyer and a Judge but in middle life quit the law for business, and organ izcd the Mellon National Bank in association with h;y eldest son. James R. Mellon. When Judge Thomas Mellon died in 1908, at the ripe age of 90, he possessed personal property worth only $300O0, but he had already distributed among his four assets then valued at S125 ,000,000 The already wealthy in their own right having been in busi- ness for themselves from 25 to 40 years The Mellon National Bank to the Presidency of which Andrew w Mellon recently succeeded his elder brother, is still the central property of the Mellon interests, though it long ago ceased to be their most valuable possession It has assets valued $132, 100000 and deposits amounting to $105, ,O0O, ,O0O and is of the strong banks of the country. GSs,f 4. 1T The Mellon family has always operated as close ecrporaton While it has been assocated with others, notably Henry C. Prick, the Standard Oil interests, the United States Steel other large corporations
 n their day and still is connected with them, in- directly the Mellon family interest in 'various tures was a separate entity in itself-its holdings W ere acquired a unit and, when disposed of, they were sold unit The family rarely has been interested in speculative enterprises but has itself almost exclusively to financial operations tbat are regarded as safe and sound and with the development of Their operations have been clean and without scandal The nearest to specula- tive ventures with which the family has ever been connected it is said in connection with the oil enterprises of William l.. Mellon, nephew of An drew w. He developed speculative turn in his early days, and after he had experienced failure after failure and presented with the very last t' 1000 he would get out of the Mellon mill
 ions, he worked up oil company that the Mellon Family backed This venture sold to the Standard Gil interests for millions, and he then became large oil operator, representing the family oil interests, which closely associated with thef oil activities of the estate of the late Col J. M Gufey, for ma years Democratic leader in Pennsylvania. nephew of Col Gutfey is Democratic National Com mitteeman for Pennsylvania
 While James R. Mellon 77 years of is the eldest of the family still living, he retired from active affairs a few years ago. and since then Andrew w. has been regarded the head of the family. Richard B. Mellon, actively associated with his brother in the banking and other activities of the Mellon family, is director of the Pittsburgh Federal Reserve Bank He is the youngest of the four of the late Judge Mellon.
 The Melons have not been active in politics, sce the earlier years of the founder of the family, though Andrew w. has been consistent and liberal contributor to Republican campaign funds, and all Of the brothers members of the Republican Party.

GROWING IMPORTS IS GOOD OMEN.

the United States is decreasing should not caus' worry as long our exports increasing. In fact il is encouraging trend of commerce when ou, imports grow well exports It indicate that our. foreign trade is on more stable basis The countries of the world cannot afford to continu to buy in the United States billions than they sell to this country because they have the gol with which to pay the balances. They will not continue 10 buy from to the extent they have beer purchasing during the last half dozen years unles we take more of the purchase price of goods il trade. While it is pleasing to note that sale 10 foreign countries were $30S 0O0 000 greater ir 1920 than in 1919, il is pleasing to note thal our imports increased $1375,000 GOO. It is more pleasing because it augurs well for continuation ol growth for foreign trade Heavier buying usually means larger markets.

(New York Tribune.)

 A Broadway star has refused chance for pub liclty. An actor has declined chance to talk for the newspapers His shall not be revealed because it might mean death for him from the dagger of some enraged press agent

 He was on his way to his dressing rom Inci- Ientally, he is the star of a Broadway se-out that promises to grace the boards for many moon to come The reporter explained what was wanted The star considered the matter
 No he said finally, "I don't think I want to say anything. Nothing I could say on this subject would be interesting new. and couldn't com ment In any way without feeling I was getting some lIegitimate advertising"

Sharp Practice.
(Boston News Bureau, Financial.)


 The depreciation of the German mark with the consequent low price in dollars for which German government and municipal bonds be bought, has resulted in the appearance of number of mush- room concerns who trying to get the money of the small investor by alluring advertisements and circulars which speak of the possibility of making ment bonds
 Of course what they mean is that if the present German mark worth about and half should get back to it's pre-war value of about 24 cents, such profit could be made but obviously anyone who buys German bonds with any such pectation is not investing, specuating,- he is gambling with the odds at least a. million to against him.
 As these concerns addressing their appeal to the ignorant and gullible it is not surprising to find that it is common practice to trim their customers handsomely, by figuring exchange the par value of the bonds instead of the market value For eXample,-German government F per cent. bonds are selling at 60 in Germany, which that In Germany such 10000 mark bond is selling for 5000 marks. With the German mark at F cents these concerns get their customers to pay them at the rate of F cents mark the face value or $50 for 10000 mark bond which is currently worth but $90, and could be bought through any long established, reputable bond house with foreign connections for that price.
