BABSON URGES THE IMPORTANCE
OF SAVINGS ACCOUNT IN BANK

but they do come to each of us two
or three times in the course of our
lives. They almost always require
q certain amount of capital. Per-
haps the new position offered
means working for less than liv-
ing wage for while. Perhaps it
means taking a year or more for
travel or study. The man with q
bank account can finance the ven
ture but the man without a bank
account cannot.
No Increase By Many
81 especially emphasize the i'm
portance of bank accounts at the
present time because many people
have not increased their bank ac-
counts materially since the low
prices of ten years ago. For a great
many years prices ran along a GER
tain level and people got into the
habit of carrying about so much in
their savings account and a certain
amount in their checking account.
All business men, from the large
manufacturers to the humblest re-
tailers, felt that bank account of
q certain size was about what he
should carry and he has held the
same idea up to the present time.
Yet, during the past ten years,
prices have increased from so to
100 or more per cent, according to
the commodity considered. Taking
into consideration all factors enter
ing into the cost of living, the dollar
of ten years ago is worth only about
60 cents today. AS prices increase
we should increase our bank .ac-
counts to correspond.
Zone great trouble with business
today is the amount of money be-
ing wasted on things of only tenn
porary value and the small proper
tionate amount which is being
banked for things of more per-
manent value. This is one reason
why the Babsonchart has again so
radically declined, standing today
at 10 per cent below normal com
pared with 9 per cent above normal
in February. just as things got
better around the first of the year,
people again got careless, bank de-
posits fell off and the safety valve
began to let off steam. Increased
bank balances would help to start
business up toward normal again. -

WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass,
Sept. 24.-EIelping business by saw
ing money instead of spending it
may sound strange but that is what
Roger w. Babson, the statistician,
proposes today, in a statement on
the investment value of savings ac-
counts.
"Why it is that people differen-
tate between bank accounts and
investments is more than / can com
prehend," says Mr.. Babson. cap
parently men and women feel that
the money which they have in the
bank is not invested They seem
TO think of it as tied up in bags in
the vault of the bank. The fact is
that just as soon as you deposit a
dollar in bank, that dollar is loaned
by the bank to some one to build
home, or to buy merchandise, or is
used for the purchase of bonds.
When these bonds are bought, the
money is still used by the company
issuing the bonds perhaps for the
developing of q water power or the
buying of railroad equipment or
some other equally useful purpose.
Therefore, money deposited in a
bank is invested just as truly as
any other money.
Bank Accounts Desirable
Bank accounts have all the ad-
vantages of the most attractive in
vestments. Among these may be
mentioned the following three: O
Bank accounts are safe. Statistics
would probably show that smaller
losses come from bank accounts
than from any other field of invest
ment. (2) Bank accounts are very
liquid,-that is to say, we can quick
ly get our money at any time. Other
forms of investment may be 'per-
manent' investments. Many Of them
are so permanent that they cannot
be liquidated when desired. (3)
Bank accounts offer good oppor-
tunity for speculative profit. This
may seem strange statement but
let. us examine it.
"The real opportunities to make
money are through chances that
come to take partnerships, to make
special purchases or to do other
things, which, if undertaken, often
bring success. One never can tell
when these opportunities will come

Weir Says Things
Aren't So Bad
After All

Gratitude for held extended
time of need is none too fre-
quent in these times, according
to many writers, but F. G.. Weir,
superintendent at the county
hospital says the human race
has not gone to the dogs entire
ly, judging from a letter and
check which he received in TO-
days mail.
Several weeks ago, according
to Weir, young Mexican was
brought to the county hospital
suffering from a broken arm.
He was attended by a physician
and given every attention at
the hospital and following his
recovery, departed and the sup
erintendent believed that was
the end OF the transaction, par
ticularly as the boy and HIS
folks were without funds to pa
for his treatment at the hospi-
tai. To-day, in opening his mail,
Weir found an envelope address
ed to the county hospital and
within was a check for $2!-
Accompanying the check was
a short note stating the dona-
tiOn was from friends of the
sick boy who wished to show
their appreciation for the At.
tcntion and care given him
while a patient at the hospital.
The superintendent expressed
the opinion that the action of
these MeXicans contains a much
needed lesson for many who are
in much better circumstance
than they are, yet are only too
anxious to get everything they
can for as little as possible. ga
little more of this spirit would
make the world a better place
to live in,' he added.

YOUTHFUL CRIME
ON INCREASE, TO
TRY EDUCATION

PARIS, Sept. 24.-Juvenile Grim
fnality has increased to such an ex-
tent i'll France since the war that
efforts to combat it will probably
be discussed in parliament when the
chamber is convened after the va
cation period.
In 1913, the number of child de-
linquents who appeared in the spe-
cial courts was 1924. In 1918, it
had risen to nearly 1000 and in
1922 to $500. Meanwhile the pop
ulation has been decreasing. If
this increase is not stopped the next
generation of Frenchmen will be 80
per cent apaches.
Moral education in the schools IS
the suppression of the disastrous in
fluence of example and the treat
ment of children as children and
not as young men and women are
the remedies recommended by DIR.

CRISP, HARRIS. GEORGE
SUCCEED IN 'JANMING'
BILL. THROUGH SENATE
Measure Sent To Harding For
Executive Approval Early
Today
PASSED HOUSE LAST NIGHT
Bill Gives .Arnericus Valuable AS
set To Induce Cotton Mills
To Locate Here

A wire from Congressman Charles
R. Crisp, received today just after
noon, states that the House and Sen
ate had passed a bill, which already
has gone to the president for his sig
nature, placing certain real estate be-
longing to the government in shape
for sale, among other parcels being
Souther Field, at Americus.
Congressman Crisp's wire to The
Times Recorder is as follows:
Senate has just concurred in
house amendment to government
real estate bill, which passes it
(the bil). The bill. is being sent
to the president for his signature.
CHAS. R. CRISP.
This bill passed the senate two or
three days ago, was slightly amended
by the house last night, and the
amendment was ratified by the senate
today as stated above.
y Congressman Crisp; with the able
assistance of Senators Harris and
George, have literally damned" this
bill through the two houses of con-
gress during the last days of the ses-
sion, when the house and senate cal
endars were already crowded with inn
portant legislation.
The bill has lain in the hands Of
the house military affairs committee
for some weeks. 1t is an administra-
toin meausre and could only be
brought out for action by the consent
Of the Republican members of the
committee.
Congressman Crisp's Influence with
a number of leading Republicans
made it possible for him to get the
bill on its way to passage. But for
his untiring efforts, the bill undoubt-
edly would have carried over for an
other year.
The passage of this bill places
Souther Field In shape for purchase
for industrial purposes. The Wal
Department some time ago decided t.
close down the field here, largely, il
was said, because of its proximity tC
Camp Benning.
Undoubtedly congress will adjourn
today or Monday, and but for the
action of Mr.. Crisp and his colleagues
the field would have lain idle for an
other year or more.
Now that cotton mills are seeking
locations in the South, Americus ha>
a valuable asset in Souther Field, tt
induce industrial plants to locate il
this immediate neighborhood.

CRISP RECOMMENDED
BY BURTON Of OHIO
VIII Serve On COMMUNICATIVE
oss British Terms AS Model,
Believed In Washington

WASHINGTON, March 3. - For
an appointment as a member of the
foreign debt funding commission,
Mr.. Crisp was recommended to the
president by Republican, Rep
resentative Theodore Burton, Of
Chic, another member Of the, com
mission. He was also suggested by
Senator Harris Mr. Crisp has stat
ed he would serve.
The Georgia member will proceed
to his home as. soon as congress adj
journs in accordance with his original
plans, and will return when inform
ed Of a session of the commission to
consider funding the debts owed the
United States by France, Italy, Bel
eium and ocher European countries.
To the plan for the funding of the
English debt, Mr.. Crisp gave ardent
support, and in the opinion Of his col
leagues, rose above politics and en-
tered the sphere of patriotism, Last
night, he declined to give an inter-
view as to what he would do in at
tempting to adjust other obligations,
but it may be stated confidently that
he will favor giving to other coun-
tries terms as liberal as those given
to Great Britain, but no more lib
eral.
From what Mr.. Crisp has said on
the floor and in private conversa-
ton it is understood that he will not
favor making any terms which would
permit any country to satisfy the
debt it owes the United States by the
-payneataof.any less than that repre-
sented by the principal. Mr. Crisp
is an outstanding Democratic mem
Der of the ways and means COM
mittee, and one Of the ablest parlia-
mentarians Of the house.
