BALTIMORE DAY-B0AT
SERVICE IS RESTORED
Ericsson Line Steamships Penn
and Lord Baltimore Again
Plying Through Canal

The Ericsson Line has restored its
day-boat service to Baltimore, adding
another delightful trip that can be taken
in a short time and at comparatively
little expense. The launching of its day
service TO Baltimore several years ago
tilled long felt want for those who
wished to travel South by water. During
the war this service was discontinued
and the Penn and Lord Baltimore, two
Of the most modern and fastest steam
ships that ply these waters. were placed
In other service.
The trip to Baltimore by water Is one
Of the most delightful and historical
that can be had in the East. After
leaving Philadelphia, the first stop Is
Delaware City. En- route many Of the
mighty shipbuilding places. such as
New York Shipbuilding, Hog Island and
many historic points of interest are
pYssed.
On entering the canal at Delaware
City, Fort du Pont is seen on the left,
while beautiful Lorewood Grove offers
opportunity for n day Of recreation. On
leaving the canal at Chesapeake City n
delightful sail is had down the Elk
River on to the broad waters of the
mighty Chesapeake.

A Very Natural Shift,

This diversion of saving money
into commercial channels has been n
very natural shift to higher rates of
interest in times Of great commodity
movement.
II we examine the Forthcoming
census figures we will find that the
average interest paid by home own.
ers for loans is less than 6 per cent.
However, the regular procession
OF an economic depression is tirst
the lowering of prices and volume Of
production with consequent reduction
in amount OF capital needed and a
falling rate of interest. We should
expect this to happen again and in
terest rates to fall to the reach OF
the home builder with increased sums
available for building.
ON the other hand, l believe that
we should have q very much more
stable economic system II we mad
a more regular proportion of our
savings available to home building
There is, in fact, no other economic
fund than our savings institutions
from which our home building CO n
be safely secured"

The Washington times., 1921-07-29

This statement was made on the
advice of the best saving sauthorities
In the country, and was as follows:
II think you will agree with me
that the chief reliance in credit for
home building must re upon our saw
ing institutions. III we examine these
institutions, we will find that the
total sum of money available OF this
type, either in mutuaI savings banks,
building and loan associations. or In
savings departments or national or
State banks and trust companies, or
In the assets of our insurance COM
panies, will all aggregate somewhere
about $22, 900, 000, 00t.
If we eliminate the building and
loan societies who obviously devote
all OF their assets to JuIIding and the
actual savings banks who devote
from 40 to 30 per cent of them de-
posits to this purpose, we will find
that the savings departments Of the
national banks, Of the State banks,
of the trust companies. and of the in
surance companies, which comprise
more than one-half the total Swings,
probably do not loan for homo Guild
ing more than 10 or Is per cent of
their deposits or SAVINGS assets.
There has been a tendency during
the last few years for the savings of
the people to go In un increased pro-
portion into this latter class Of insti.
tuition, and to Journey thence into
commercial paper. bonds, ETC., rather
than into home building.
