TEST SAVINGS BANK
'ONAUTOMAT|GP[AN
First Of Kind in Washington
Installed at the WalIach
School.

An automatic savings bank-the
first of it's kind in Washington-has
been installed in the Wallach School,
at. 7th and D streets southeast. and
has proved to be a magnet for the
pennies, dimes and quarters of the
children. In operation but two days
the bank has succeeded in drawing
more than s10O from the pockets of
the pupils.
Perhaps it is the novelty of the
unique bank that appeals to the chill
dren and their money. But Miss Julia
Rawlings, principal of Wallach- Tow
ers Group School, says it is not. The
pupils In her school. she declares en-
phaticaliy and with an air of pride.
are unusually thrifty. And. as mat
ter of proof. she.referred to the fact
that the children of the Wallach-
Towers School and their teachers and
friends subscribed for $4,000 worth
of liberty bonds. Besides, sch said,
they bought more than $1,000 worth of
THRIFT stamps DUNG the initial year
of the thrift campaign.
Rank Principle Explained.
The principle of the automnti tic saw
ings banl; in the Wallach School is
simple. Ali d child is required to do to
open IN account is to put in Il coin and
presto OF: comes pretty stamp. The
stamp is pasted in d cardboard folder.
When the folder is filled. the childr
HES it TO L nearby bank which IN
stalled the machine. and is given
credit for the amount of stamps pur-
chased on regular savings account
drawing 8 per cent compound inter-
est.
The automatic bank has four coin
slots. They are for pennies. nickles.
dimes and quarters. The stamps is
sued stipuiate the amount placed in
the machine
Since the installation OF the auto
matte bank the teachers have found
it difficult to prevent congestion in
the corridor of the school where it is
located. so eager are the children to
deposit their money. At every re-
cess period the pupils vie with each
other for the record of purchasing
the largest nupber of stamps.
Boy Students Record.
The first day the machine was in
stalled. Grimes Seniff. twelve-vear-
old pupil of the sixth grade of the
Wallach. purchased $2.0S worth of
the stamps. According to latest re-
portes he is the enviable poSsesSor of
the record Of having bought the
largest amount of stamps.
If the automatic bank succeeds in
it's object of inculcating the thrift
habit among pupils at the Wallach-
Towers. the board of education may
permit their installation in other
public schools.

Crime to Neglect.
1T would be really crime if those
who govern the District should allow
this beautiful piece Of ground to be
put to any other use than that of a
park, such as Hampstead Heath. In
fact. it is already much used as Il
place of resort by the people of the
vicinity. On pleasant afternoon

over the place In paths such as are
to be found On Hamstead Heath: on

health and civic happiness demands
that Brentwood should be purchased
by the government. In the entire
northeast quarter of the District
there is no public park; one or two
small city squares are all that shave
been reserved for the uses of its
residents.
LAS matter of simple justice to
the people of the northeast section
of the District. Brentwood should
become u public reservation, and for
the securing of this valuable property
by the government there is no time
like the present. Its value will
steadily increase with the passing

Because of this the only way to

is paid for similar work in other
cities fairly comparable with Wash

This is what was done in fixing
the salary schedule in the new school

for that group of employees it should
certainly be the right thing to do for

Woman Diver to Give
Father Neptune a Thrill

Mrs. Augustus 7. Shflet, Of Cinciu-
natl, who has been risking her life by
high diving for thirty-six years. sailed
yesterday on the Lamport g. Holt
liner vandyck to give diving exhibi-
tions for ten weeks in Buenos Ayres.
She took with her a tank fourteen
feet long, seven feet wide and four
feet deep into which she dives from
a height. of seventy-fve feet. When
the Vandyck crosses the equator and
the customary aquatic sports and cere-
monies of "crossing the line" are
started by Father Neptune, Mrs. shiflet
said she would be willing to dive into

If Captain John Byrne would agree to
slow down to four knots, speed that
would enable her to swim with the

Munson Liner, Five

Captain of Southern Cross
Says He Was Delayed i'm
Harbor When He Stopped
to Take Oil and Water

Tho Munson liner Southern Cross
arrived in Hoboken yesterday five days
late from Buenos Ayres, Rio de Janeiro,
Montevideo and Santos. The delay, ac-
cording to Captain Bert u. Heald, was
due to the discourtesy with which
British officials treated the American
vessel when it put in at st. George,
Bermuda, to replenish stores Of oil and
water.
1t was Sunday, October 20. when the
Southern Cross reached St. George, and
Captain Heald said he wore out his
whistle trying to attract the attention
of the port health officer in order that
he could land his passengers.
A British vessel entered port at 2
o'clock the following afternoon, said
Captain Heald, and was attended to
immediately by the port health officer,
after which he visited the. Southern
Cross and passed it. The passengers
were SO indignant at the treatment ac-
corded them by the British that they
held meeting and voted to boycott St.
George. When it became apparent
that the ship would be in port for sey-!
eral days, however, they changed their
Captain Heald said the British off,
cials refused him permission to use the
Admiralty dock and he had to put in
at the privately owned West Indies
dock, which his vessel was unable to
enter because Of unfavorable weather
until Thursday evening. 1t left St.
George the next morning.
The cause Of the shortage Of oil and
water will be the subject Of an inves-
tigation by the company.

LONDON. Nov. 5.--The feature Of
the new annual report Of Lloyds
Register of Shipping was the emphasis
laid upon the coming Of oil as power
in marine engineering. The report
shows the worldwide depression in
the shipbuilding industry, continuing
throughout the last year, but states
that one reaction to this has been the
encouragement of the latest ideas in
construction.
Steam turbines were installed during
the year on ninety-eight vessels under
Lloyds supervision. This indicates the
passing OF the direct turbine drive
and the end of historic phase in
marine engineering. The number Of
vessels built during the year and in
tended for propulsion by internal COM
bustion engines was fifty-nine, of
which twenty-one were ships of large
size, all fitted with engines using
heavy oil.
In line with this development there
are three significant items in recent
shipping news. One Of these was the
sailing of the new motorship Tennessee,
owned in Norway, on her maiden voy-
age to Australia. The second was the
launching of the Greenock Dreshtdyk,
large twin screw motorship built to
the order of the Holland America
Line. The third was the placing in
commission of the second of the Elder
Dempster motor passenger lines.
There is some concern in shipbuild-
ing circles here this week as result
of the rumor that nothing will be done
at present on the placing of orders for
the construction of two battleships,
which Great Britain is permitted to
build under her quota for 1922 agreed
upon at the Washington Conference on
the Limitation of Armament.
The change In the government is
generally approved in shipping cir
cles in the belief that it will mean less
government interference and fewer
international complications.
There are now 500 ocean-golng ves-
sells Of 100000 tons laid up at pres
ent in British ports. According to esti-
mates published this week the ton
mage of new construction started in
1922 will be the lowest in the last
thirty years. An additional cause Of
depression is the 2-to-1 majority
among. the shipyard workers against
accepting the last cut in the war

1917, supplemented in October, 1918, by
another agreement providing for an
increase in accordance with the rise In
prices due to wage imitation. Under this
arrangement the government under
took 20 turn over the 10000, 100000
marks TO q bank, as trustee, specially
formed to handle the situation. The
bank In turn distributed tho fund
among the ship owners. After conssd-
cradle haggling, during which the ship
7.00o, ,o0o,o marks in gold, they agreed
to tho figure Of 12,ooo.o0o,ooo paper
marks.
The recent tremendous decline In the
exchange value Of the mark upset this
agreement. AS consequence the arbi-
tration board has granted another 49,
600, 100000 marks, which may again un-
dergo considerable upward huctuation
In view of the persistent decline in ex-
change. It is possible. however, that
this may be struck off the budget en-
tirely, due to the objections Of the
Reparation Commission, which consid-
ers such expenditure extravagant. The
German merchant marine, which, since
the armistice, has gradually been re-
stored, may, therefore, suffer serious
blow should the objections Of the Rep
arition Commission prevail, unless the
Germans find other means to continue
their work for reconstrucrion.
The Germans maintain that the OBJ
lection Is untenable, as the possess
sion of q merchant marine by Ger
many is one essential prerequisite for
the development OF the trade whereby
alone she will be able TO pay the bill
for reparations.
The Law government may be the target
of many attacks in handling domestic
problems, but its foreign policy will
have the Endorsement Of large and
influential part Of the country, which
no longer fears the possibility Of q
Labor success.

Five Arrested and Liquor
Laden Motor Truck Seized

SOUTHPORT, Conn, Nov. 5.--Five
arrests here and the seizure of .
motor truck, alleged to contain liquor,
valued at $4,000, followed twenty
mile chase by state police to-day. The
men arrested were Anthony Rovello,
Harry Delacco and Frank Aurilio, Of
Bridgeport, and Romano and James
Confortom,. of New Haven. They
were held in bonds of $4,000 each by
Justice w. S. Morton in Westport, on
charge of illegally Transporting
liquor.
Police reported that the truck was
stolen in Bridgeport some time ago
and that the registration markers
were also stolen. The chase started in
Westport, when Prosecuting Attorney
Harry Sherwood reported suspicious
circumstances connected with the
truck. The police had gone as far as
Bridgeport when they discovered they
had lost the truck. They doubled back
and found it stalled near here.
