New York. Nov. 15-The popular idea that the term New Yorker'' is synonymous with prodigality in eX- pendhures for unimportant things, ex- travag gance in dress and style of liv- ing and outlay for bright light arnuse- ments, Is refusted by some significant figures just compiled by the Merch- ants Association
 On July l, 1922, the savings banks of New York held on deposit 2,069,- 79,S24.S5, representing accounts of 1,6s0, 625 depo sitors or more than one out of every four of the entire population.
 '-These figures said the statement. ''are as significant relatively as posi- lively. They prove that the habit of thrift among the wage earners in the city has grown enormously during tho last twenty-five years.
 Tn 1897 the books of the New York savings banks showed deposits to total of $529. .eo7, 24T.75. The actual deposits in that period have therefore multiplied almost four times Within the same period the number of depositors has increased from 1,222,- 366 to the total as indicated above. It is true that the increase in number of accounts is not commensurate with the increase in population. but a sig nthcant fact appears in ths per capita corAnariSnn The deDosirnrk of 12Sz

BANK ASKS TOO EARLY PAYMENT
 0F CITY BONDS

The Greenwich Savings bank of New York holds $3O,00o worth of City \of Bridgeport bonds that fall due. Nov. 50 this year. Thereby hangs a saNe.
 An official of the bank arrived in Bridgeport yesterday with a cash box containing the SS0,0O0 worth of bonds held by his company. the debtor being the city. Into the city treas urer's office he went and deposited the box on the desk of that official, say ing:
 s.Here are these bonds which fall due Nov. 80. That day being Thanks giving, I thought that it would be wise to have you pay them off now. You know that on a holiday the banks are closed. You can give me a check for the SS0,o00 and the interest too.'
 ''Yes it would be very nice for you" answered the city treasurer, ''but I think that it would be nicer for you to come around about Nov. 29, then we can give you the money You know that the city of Bridgeport can put to good use the interest that accumulates between now and Nov. S0."
 Thus ended the bond episode and thereby the city was saved a consid- erabIe sum in interest.

FURTHER PLANS TO TAKE THE
 JOY OUT OFLIFE

Commissioner Cloe announces that the Ala bama State Fair may keep it's midway, but games of chance will not be permitted. The commissioner seems to have modified the de- cision previously credited to him that all car nival shows must go.
 The only ''games of chance" allowed on the State Fair grounds were nothing more than games for prizes. It might be possible for a reckless plunger to win doll, box of candy, a sofa pillow, knife on some other trinket, but even these comparatively harmless diver sions incensed the pure in heart who are obsessed by the belief that the well known human race will go to ruin unless they exert themselves early and often.
 The recent visit of a street carnival to Bir- mingham started the reformers into full cry and the city commission, which pays close att the publc's morals have anything to say, was quick to respond. There have been, and may be yet, some carnival shows that are corrupt and immoral, but the same forces which drove tne crookeu clrcuS, With US retlnue of 5WindlerS and confidence men, out of business are be- ing felt among the varnival shows, and most of these organizations are as clean as the average circus. Many of them play return dates, year after year, in the same cities and towns. They could not do that if they did not win and keep public confidence.
 There has been little for any fair-minded person to complain of in the character of mid way shows at the State Fair. They have fur nished amusement for thousands of people, adults as well as children, without undermining public morals A large part of the profits from such exhibitions is derived from what are known as concessions, majority of them the kind of games which the commissioner of public safety proposes to abolish In that contin- gency the State Fair management may find it difficult to book shows willing to submit to such restrictions.
