 In order to have all question re- moved, may we suggest that you take the matter up with the Attorney Gen eral and secure his opinion. It may be that the Attorney Gener- al will agree with us that we have the right to open branches.

 In his letter to you the President of the Bridgeport Savings Bank sug- gests that an opinion be SecuI1ed from the Attorney General, and if any doubt exists as to the legality of open ing up these branches that a friendly suit could be instituted for the pur- pose of having the courts definitely determine the question.
 AS you doubtless are aware, this department has heretofore ruled against tn eopening by savings banks of these branch banks. This con- struction of the statute has often been questioned, and it has not met with the approval of the presidents of the Savings Banks throughout the state. They feel that the present conStruc- tion has limited the usefu1n eaS of their banks.
 like the spirit of President Haw- 1eys letter to you, and as the de- ciston of the question raised will in no manner affect the franchise Of the bank or the financial interests Of its depositors, will be very glad to comply with the request contained in his letter and have a. friendly suit in stituted for the sole purpose of hav- ling this question definitely deter1nin- ed by the court

for only one picture that they ma, greet each other during the intervals allowed for such purposes.
 Although there is wide dissimilarity in the temperaments of the American people and the Latins that comprise virtually all of Argentina's population, the American screen stars who de- light the hearts of countless numbers in this country by their comic antics or stir the hearts by realistic DOT trayals of emotional scenes on the screen are much more popular than the firm stars of European countries, and despite the fact that the cost of American films is much higher than European films. they have become the veritable backbone of the motion-pic- ture industry in Argentina

American Films Popular In
 Argentina

Washington, May 25-American motion picture films, in the space of a few brief years, have acquired con troI of the market in Argentina, over which European films had held full sway since the first movie theatre was opened in Buenos Aires in 1899, ac- cording to current reports to the De- partment of Commerce.
 Until 1914 European films held un- disputed rule of the motion picture film market in Argentina, but with the advent of the American hlms, m troduced during the World War, European screen productions were relegated to the background and to- day play second fiddle" to the 1n- creasingly-popular silent dramas and Inirth-proVoking pictures produced In the United States. The American motion picture plays gained in favor so rapidly immediately after their introduction in this South American n country that they today are the recognized standard and the highest entrance fees are willingly paid by the Argentine public to see the la vorite American screen stars In action.
 Great Demand For Films.
 The demand for motion-picture plays in Argentina is as great In pro portion to population as in any other country in the world. according to and the city of Buenos Aires alone has 12S movie theatres operating, with an average of 2,25O,OOO paid ad- missions per month
 The programmes in the motion pic ture houses of Argentina are much more extensive than those offered by movie theatres in this country. Four pictures, consisting of an American film as the feature and three Euro . pean films as supp1ementaries, are the usual offering to screen play deVo- tees in Argentina. Admission may be purchased for one picture or for the entire programme, an innovation that would appeal immensely to the average American youngSter who stares wistfully at the ten-cent adrnis- sion sign adorning the ticket window of his favorite movie while he gengerly jingles a few pennies in his pocket
 Another pecu1iarity of movie thea Ire management in Argentina, one which probably would not find much favor with the more reserved Amert- cans, is that of allowing frequent in tervals betweeen reels and pictures in order to permits patrons to look around and greet acquaintances In the audience.
 Unique Phase Demanded
 This unique phase of the motion picture industry in Argentina is de- mandad by the public and it Is a coInu1oo practice for friends and ac- quafnk<noes to purchase admission

RAILWAY EXECUTIVES ORGANIZATION
 LIKELY TO BE DECENTRALIZED

dends during the last year. Included in the figures of the Association of Railway Executives are a large num- Der of inefficient railways, with stock heavily watered, which have no ex- cuse for existing. The 288 per cent income is therefore mathematical figure, which means no more to the public than the average wage paid in the United States, or. the per capita currency of the United States, which is something like. $44. The national basis of railway statistics Is an ex- cellent camouhage for the larger rail- way corporations and defects public criticism from the extraordinary pro- fits of the larger railway systems.
 The death of T. Dewitt Cuyler, the president of the Association of Rail- way Executives, and the contemplated transfer of headquarters from New York City to Washington, may bring about radical change of policy by the association.
 If the trend toward decentralization of railway operation continues, it is likely to result either in the abolition of the Railway Labor Board, or in the curtailment of its powers and ac- tivities. The contemplated transfer of the board from Chicago to Wash ington is regarded by many as the first step toward its abolition

 Washington, D. C., Nov. 24.-Cur- tailment of the powers of the Asso- citation of Railway Executives is re- ceiving the serious consideration of some of the most important and pro- gressive railway executives in the United States The camouhaging ac- tivities of this big organization have not tended so much to pacify the restless public as it has exasperated those who have tried to inform themselves about actual conditions of railway management and financing. Some executives appreciate this fact.
 An illustration of the irritation and dissatisfaction arising from the consideration of the railway industry of the United States as a unit is found in the daily propaganda of the Association of Railway Executives. The low percentage of return on American railway valuation is con tinual1y emphasized. Last year it was 2.88 per cent. Everybody knows, of course, that individual railroads have paid as high as 30 per cent III ,divi-

ENGINEER REPORT
 SHOWS VALUE OF
 STANDARDIZATION
By International Labor News Service

| by 1nternaC1Onal LaDOr News Serv1ce. ] Washington, D. C., Nov. 24-Of 1 great interest to organized labor is an announcement just made here by i the American Engineering Standards Committee outlining the advantages 1 has particularly in mind standardiza-
 ton of government specifications, but the principles involved apply equally
 to industrial undertakings generally. There IS a considerable belief that labor will be called upon more and more to interest itself in the work of standardization, both for the sake of the production advantages to be derived and for the sake of prevent ing abuses in the direction of mecha- nicizing workers undu1y and unnec- essarily and in the direction of pre- venting standardization from mean ing solely increased profit to few.
 The statement of What Stand ardization Does," issued by P. G. Agnew, secretary of the American Engineering Standards Committee, follows:
 I. It enables buyer and seller to speak the same language, and makes it possible to compel competitive sellers to do likewise ?. In thus putting tenders on an easily comparable basis, 1t promotes fairness in competitoin, both in do- mestic and in foreign trade.
 3. It lowers unit costs to the pub lie by making mass production possi- ble, and has been so strikingly shown in the unihcation of incandescent lamps and automobiles.
 4. By simplifying the carrying of stocks, it makes deliveries quicker and prices lower.
 5. It decreases litigation and other factors tending to. disorganize indus try, the burden of which ultimately falls upon the public.
 6. It eliminates indecision both in production and utilization a prolific cause of ineficiency and waste
 7. It stabilizes production and em- ployment, by broadening the possible market, and by making it safe for the manufacturer to accumulate stock during periods of slack orders to an extent which would not be safe with an unstandardized product.
 8. By focusing on essentials, it de creases selling expense, one of the serious problems of our economic system.
 9. By concentrating on fewer lines, 1t enables more thought and energy to be put into designs, so that they will be more efficient and eco- nomical
 10. By bringing out the need of new facts in order to determine what is best, and to secure agreement on most questions, 1t acts as a powerful stimulus to research and develop ment-and 1t is thus in decided con- tract to specialization resulting from fxity of mental attitude. II. It is one of the principal means. of getting the results. of research and
 development into actual use in the industries.
 I2. It helps to eliminate practices which are merely the result of acci- dent or tradition, and which impede development.
 I3. By concentration on essentials and the consequent suppression of confusing elements intended merely for sales effect, 1t helps to base com petition squarely upon efficiency in production and distribution and upon intrinsic merit of product

mind whether he wanted to quit or look cheerful To a man they chose to stick by the job; so that detail was disposed of. In the meantime the sinking of piers for one of the retaining walls was giving trouble. One morning at daylight ROb's su- perintendent telephoned him to an nOunce that the street was cavirg in and the buildings across the way were cracking. When Rob got there he found the men standing about scared and helpless, while the plate glass windows of the store opposite were cracking like pistols and the building settled. It appeared that when the trench for the south wall had gone down a certain distance water began to rush in under the sheeting as if from an underground river, and, of course, undermined the street and the store opposite. The pumps were started like mad, two gangs were put to work, with the su- perintendent swearing, threatening. and pleading to make them dig faster, and at last concrete was poured and the water stopped. That day Rob and his superintendent had neither breakfast nor lunch, but they had scarcely finished snoring up the threatened store when the owner of the store notified Rob that he would sue for damages. and the
