BY Universal Service.

Postal savings deposits again are
on the increase, after n gradual
decline dating back to April. 1919.
This formal announcement was
made by Third Assistant Post
master General Glover in reply
to recent newspaper criticisms re-
garding decreases in business done
by the postoffice banks. He said:
MANY offices throughout the
country are now showing a de.
ctded improvement in postal say-

There is no cat to let out of the
bag" Mr.. Glover retorted. The
postal savings bag is wide open.
Anybody who may desire may
poke his head in and get full
view Of everything going on
The Third Assistant Postmaster
General frankly agreed that the
postal banks had experienced de
creases in deposits since April,
1919. Instead of most of the de.
crease taking place during the last
few months, as alleged, however,
ne stated that the loss for the
quarter ending September 30, 1922,
was smaller than for any quar-
ter since the decline in postal
savings began three and a half
years ago" Since September 30,
as stated in the foregoing, deposits
have been increasing.
The highwater mark of postal
savings, Mr.. Glover said, was
reached in March, 1919. There
was on deposit at that time Sl7j,.
sas,524. On Sept. 80 of this year
the total had dropped to $l35,62j,-
"A large part OF this decrease WAS
attributed to the coal and rail
sfikes. Extremely heavy with
drawals were made in offices ad.
3acent to the coal fields and large
railwsy centers.
Postal receipts from the sale ot
stamps, rather than postal saw.
fngs deposits. however, are the
real barometer of improved busi.

serted. Since November, 1921, he
declared, increases In postal re.

BANKERS URGE
INVESTMENT IN
LIBERTY BONDS
Think Issues Below Par at
Present Will Soon
Rise.
BY HARRY GUSACK.

Investors with capital To buy
securities are urged to invest in
Liberty bonds that are at present
selling below par, according 20
opinions expressed today by leading
Washington bankers.
They feel sure that the "Lihcritcs"
will soon again cross par just as
they led the advance in prices in
the bond market over the period
from the early part of 1921 to the
summer of 1922. despite the fact that
they figured prominently in the re-
action which recently characterized
the bond market.
1t was generally thought that the
liquidation of the big banking institu.
lions was largely responsible for the
weak trend of prices of Government
bonds. but the managers of these in.
stftutions Indignantly deny any such
assumption and state their willing.
ness to prove, by figures, that their
holdings OF war bonds have increased
rather than diminished.

D. c. TAXES COLLECTED
UNDER NEW STATUTE

The first collection of taxes on
real and personal property in the
District under the new law requiring
the payment Of one-half in November
and one-half in May began yesterday.
The tax collector, Chatham Towers.
suggests that where possible tax.
payers pay the entire sum at one
time and aid the tax office in cutting
down clerical work to minimum.
Only one.half. however, is required.
A penalty Of / per cent a month
will be assessed against overdue
taxes. 1t is said that there are
several thousand residents OF the
District who have been assessed for
personal property, but who have
filed no returns. Such delinquents
will not get their bills until next
May, when the second payment Is
due. They are likely to find the
penalty added for each month that
has elapsed.
