Banks of City
 Behind Movement For ''Speeding-Up''

Edmund s. Wolfe, president of the First National Bank, addressing the third "speed-up' luncheon of the In dustriaI Committee of the Chamber of Commerce at the Stratfie1d Hotel yesterday, endorsed the campaign and said that the banks of the city were back of the movement in conserva- tive way and said that the imn1edi- ate solution to the problem in Bridge portw as the need of a commercial incubator to foster young industries that desired to establish in the city.
 E. c. Erie, manager of the "speed- up" division of the National ASSocla- meeting and said that prosperity was not very far away In backing up this statement MT. Erie said that the general situation in the country was of trade and employment showed that we have seen the worst of the hard times now up us. Things are start ing up," he said, There is a greater demand for steel, building has started to boom and unemployment has been checked" He urged everyone to get back of the campaign and if the move meDt had the determination to win the Lattle was half over.
 In his address MT. Wolfe predicted that an era of prosperity was ahead of the city. MT Wolfe gave some interesting figures concerning the fi- nancldl SlJutlJlOn neHS- ES0nk Clear ings he said indicate that prosperity is coming back apace. Between Oc- tober 1920 when bank clearings were S60, 100000 for the month and Oc- tober 1921 when the bank c1earings were but $4O,O00,00O, there was a 30 per cent decrease. That was at the beginning of the slump. Between February 1921 when bank clearings were $36,4O0 900, and February 1922. when the clearings were SS5, ,300.0 900 a decrease of only three percent was registered. These figures tell better than any words of mine how condi- tions are improving in Bridgeport" |" said MT. Wolfe.
 MT. Wolfe revealed that at the present time there are deposits of S74Oo0o00 in Bridgeport's 12 banks. A year ago there were deposits oS SS2OOo,oOO. The SS.OeO,o0O decrease he attributed tG Bridgeport's con tribution to deflation.
 In speaking of the proposed soldier bonus the bank president said "S5OO,- OOO0O0 would be turned loose and that the banks in communities like Bridgeport would suffer and would be obliged to carry the bonus burden of the larger cities" MT. Wolfe told of Bridgeport's maRy advantages He urged that a false impression not be created about the available factory space for new factories, desiring to establish in Bridgeport. He said that only 37.0OO sq. feet could be used on the spur of the moment. He urged all to get behind the movement and said that we are ''aN set' to go.

IF KIDNEYS ACT
 BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have been eating too
 much meat

When you wake up with backa che and dull misery in the kidney region 1t generally means you have been eat ing too much meat, says a we'll known authority Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and logsy. When your kidneys get slug sish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your bowels; remov- ing all the body's urinous waste. else you have backache, sick headache. dizzy spells; your stomach soUrs, tongue Is coated and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges The urine is cloudy. full of sediment, channels often get sore. wNter scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night
 Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your phar- macist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com htaed with lith.a, and has been used for generations to clean Ind stimulate sluggish kidneys. also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer ir- ritates thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can not injure and makes a delightful. si-ervescent lthia-water drink.-Adv.

Hoover Accuses
 Facts Opponents

Los Angles March 21- Herbert Hoover in a speech here last night be- fore the Lincoln Club declared that the four power Pacific treaty elimin- ated causes of friction among nations. He accused opponents of the treaty of Shaking the bloody shirt in an attempt to find some hidden mean ing, some terrible subversion of Amer jean rights in the pact.
 ''The usual bitter controversy has been raised over the ratification of this last attempt of nations to agree upon practical steps toward peace he said. '"Ehese agreements were Iini- ed to the narrow field of disarnaa- ment in the belief that here was an issue upon which full unity of the American people could be obtained. There is that unity except among Q few who measures of force to mea- sures of good will in our internation- al relations.
 'sIt seems to me that the simple question is "do We want disarma- ment?" if we do want it, then it must be brought about by agreements un- dor which others reduce their arms also. We cannot sacrifice the safety of America by a Quixotic disarna- rnent ourselves alone.
 Tt has been assailed as being a military alliance. It is no such thing But that there could be no basis for this contention, the administration at once agreed that it would accept a reservation declaring that it could Now our opponents fall back on the assertion that there is some hidden meaning, some terrible subversion of American rights which they cannot illuminate except by shaking the bloody shirt.
 ''Those who are in opposition to this treaty are those who believe that arms are the path to peace. The world has tried increasing armame ents for fifty years and finally killed ten million men.
 s+ar in the Toora1 reconsfruetio, of the world. It is response to a world prayer of the substitution of measures of good will for measures of crime"
