ENGLISH PEOPLE
 ARE NOW GETTING IN CHECK HABIT
Financial Situation Improved Through the Use of Banks
 Small Business

LONDON, March 1.-The English
 are beginning to deliver their habits of using checks more and more and cash less and less to pay their way
 through life has been one of the fac tors in the recent spurt of the pound
 in it's race to catch up with the dol lar. Of course it has not reached the point where people write checks in-
 discriminatory, just as matter of na- tional pride, but all the newspapers
 have been giving serious considera-
 ton to the thought that the check writing habit. ever becoming more common, has helped improve the fi- nancial situation.
 The Idea appeared in print the
 ether day when the London Bankers Clearing House announced that of tic sums now paid into city banks, only seven-tenths of one per cent came in currency and coin. all the rest being transfers of credit by check. Not many years ago the per centage of cash deposits was several times higher than today. | It has been pointed Cut frequently of late that the use of checks in stead of cash allows banks usefully | to employ perhaps larger sums than otherwise might be possible in piling new stones upon the nations eco homie structure.
 The English, so their newspapers say, are more given tC the check habit than other people, and this de- spite the fact that each check is taxed 1 twopence. A check book cannot be had for the asking. as in America; lit must be bought and paid for. Even housewives make general use of checks when they go- to market,
 and as many of the larger banks have hundreds of branches. there is usu-

ally a bank within walking distance Gf the home. The high fees for pos tai money orders make 1t cheaper to remit by check for amounts over one pound, and this, too, has encouraged the check habit.
 Psychologically, some observers question whether the habit is a good one from the standpoint of thrift, since many people who would think twice before spending certain sum out of their pockets do not hesitate to write check for the amount; just as it often seems easier to tell store clerk to charge purchase to ones account than it is to shell out the actual coin. But others contend that the increasing bank clearings-they amounted to more than 37,000, 0,000,0 900 pounds sterling in London alone last year--show not only economic bet terment. but also that the average Englishman has preserved his own honesty as we'll as his belief in the honesty of his countrymen.

D0UGHBOYHIMSE[F. CAPTURES RECORD
 AS PACK ANIMAL
Soldier Expected to Go Along Cheerfully Under Load
 Intended for Mule

WASHINGTON, March 17.-(By As sociated Press.)-The heaviest laden pack animal of the army is the doughboy himself. Inch for inch by size or pound for pound of his own weight, the buck private of infantry carries on his back into battle double the burden handled by horses or mules or motor trucks. And he is expected to jog cheerfully along through the ooze beside the road leaving the good going to the gas and animal transport.
 Army experts are raclling their brains for ways to cut down the doughboy's load. Exhaustive study has been given to war experience for that purpose. Through the American Legion and similar organizations, eff forts have been made to get the men who carried the infantry packs in France to suggest changes. But as yet it has been possible, it was said today at the war department, to get only a few ounces of weight off the backs of the trudging infantry.
 Carries 133 Pounds.
 Experts figure that the average l load for foot soldier should not exceed 61 pounds. Yet under the present organization tables, "No. 3, rear ranks" (who is the automatic rifleman in the infantry) must stag ger along under about 133 pounds when fully equipped. All of the ma chine gun personnel is burdened al most as heavily, carrying from 115 to 125 pounds per man, and the ma chine gunners since the war make up about one-fourth of the strength of an infantry outfit.
 The bulk of the doughboy's load is fighting equipment. What he car ries for his own bodily comfort has always been stripped down to the absolute minimum. Aside from his iron rations," his blanket, overcoat, extra shoes, mess kit, canteen and his few essential toilet articles. the weight the infantryman packs has a grim purpose. The whole intri- cate business of war revolves around the doughboy and his rifle and bay onet.
 The American army rifle is still about the last word in efficient, light

SHANGHAPS EXPORTS
 TO U.. s. ARE SMALLER
Total For 1922 Shows Slight De-
 crease From Year Before

SHANGHAI, March 17.-Exports from Shanghai to the United States in 1922 were less by few dollars than in 1921. according to- the an nual report of the American consulate at Shanghai. just issued.
 Total exports last year, says this report. in value to gold s57,4s2,lh5 in comparison with gold $57.642.os4 in 1921 Exports from Shanghai to the United States and to all Amer ican possessions ran to total of gold s59. .o00,00 in both 1921 and 1922.

weight fighting tools. There Is no prospect that it's weight can be fur ther reduced. So the experts are pondering over each other article in the infantry pack to see what can be eliminated or sent back to the wagon trains until needed
 Cut Down Ratfons.
 Since the war ended, plans have been worked out to tighten the emer- gency rations, the two days supply each hiking soldier carries with him. Several ounces can be taken out of the container weights and few more out of the mess kits, and ounces feel like tons toward the end of forced march. It now seems probable, also. that the pup" tents carried heretofore may be aban- doned or at least greatly reduced in weight, and that the extra shoes will go back to the escort wagons. Still another development is in experi- ments with new water. .prooflng methods to make rain coats and, per haps, overcoats, unnecessary and also to save the doughboy from having to carry pounds of water in his soaking equipment after a march in the rain. If all of the individual fighting and defensive equipment that Is provided for him was loaded on the dough- boys back, he probably would not be able to lift his feet off the ground and if he did succeed in Koving, he would chatter and rattle like an old cook stove In addition to his arms. ammunitions, food and clothing. modern war requires that the infan- tryman should have available as he comes to grips with the enemy hand grenades, rifle bombs. trench knife. day and night fire works for signaf- ing his position. sandbags for quick entrenchng, picks and shovels for digging himself in, gas mask, hel- met. first-aid kit, and a dozen other things he might need. But there is no possibility that he could carry it all and move, so the experts are weighing the probabilities and arr ticle by article reasoning out just how far back it would be safe to send it along the supply line. so that it could be brought up when the call came.
 O o O
 Mule is "There.'
 An army mule is mighty weight carrier and in rough going cross country. the long cared friend of the soldier probably always will be closer at the doughboys heels than any other element of the army. But the maximum load for an S00-pound pack mule is 250 pounds and the lighter the mule the lighter the load under army regulations. Loads for wag- ons and artillery teams are similarly distributed according to the weight and capacity of the animals.
 There Is no such adjustment of burden possible for the doughboy, however. He carries the same weight whether he is a siX-foot, 200-pounder from the first squad or 8 .five-foot-
