NEW BANK AFTER MORE FACTORIES
North Birmingham's New Bank Backs Civic And
 Home Builders

Believing that it is the function of bank to help it's community gen. orally as well as it's depositors and customers particularly. the Security Trust and Savings Bank of North Birmingham has inaugurated a pol icy of aggressive civic upbuilding.
 Cleon B. Rogers. president of this newly established institution, in dis cussng the banks plan of procedure Thursday, said every officer and dt- rector had pledged himself to roll his sleeves up and work for the indus trial and commercial advancement of North Birmingham.
 We are going after new indus tries for North Birmingham, and we are going after new home owners, said Mir. Rogers. "A bank can do a lot for it's community by encourag- ing small loans and new enterprises, and 1t can do still more by telling industrial site seekers and home seekers in other cities the advantages of the home town 1t serves. That we propose to do In North Birming- ham. It Is to our permanent advan- tage if we help a man build his own home here. because he is going to stay and be producer and put more money in circulation year after year. It's a long sighted policy. and we know we will gain by it."
 MT. Rogers fellow officers in the Security Trust and Savings Bank are w. D. McEachern and John W. Can non, vice presidents, and David Mc- Carty, assistant cashier.

He said he had gained the impression that the Presi- dent would pursue a hands-off pol icy in the contest which has deyel oped between him and Representa- tive Longworth of Ohio.
 MT. Graham explained he had gone to the White House to discuss the general political situation with MT Coolidge and his secretary. C. Bas- com Slemp, for years a member of the house.

Control of the Dauphin Island Lot company. owners of Dauphin Island in Mobile bay. has passed into the hands of a newly organized company, according to J. M.

Dewberry has just returned from New York, where the deal transferring control of the island was consummated.
 The exact amount paid for the property was not disclosed but it is thought that it will run into six fig ures. Mr Dewberry stated that the company had recently been organ ized on a $30OO00 basis and said that the majority of the common stock had been transferred.
 All the new officers and directors are New York capitalists. Courtlandt Linkroum is president; l.. c. Link roum, vice president; Charles P. Lark, secretary, and c. A. Withers. director.

FASHION CHANGES BRING DISASTER
Government Losing Lots Of Money Because Women Do 7
 Not Favor Seal Skins

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The United States government is losing substantial sums of money because American women have changed their fashions in furs and are showing less interest in seal skins, Secretary Hoover said today. Moreover. the government has ir stock some 10000 fur belts which may have to be held for a considerable period before dis posing of them. The British. Japa- nese and Russian governments also, the Secretary declared. were facing losses as a result of the change in style.
 The government, MT. Hoover ex- plained, has practically a monopoly on seal fur production by reason of it's ownership of the Alaskan islands, where the seals have their rookeries. In recent years as many as 25,000 or 30,000 seal skins have been taken. This years take, which was cut down to 12,000 when the depression ap- peared, was put on the market some time ago with skins offered for sale at $50 apiece.
 Demand Decreased.
 About 2,00O skins were sold, and then che demand deereased- The pelts will keep, and MT. Hoover explained that the government had put them in storage. Japan. Great Britain and Russia lose. also, because under the treaties controlling the sealing op- eration these governments have joined in sharing with the United States profits of the killings on the islands. Since the soviet regime in Russia. however, the American gov ernment has been deferring payments to that government.
 It also looks like hard winter for the foxes on the Alaskan islands, in which the government has a profit able side line. Hitherto they have been fed on the meat from the dead seals, have waxed fat and furry from it and have developed coats which are even more valuable than the seal skin.
 There is not anything to be done about it, MT. Hoover said, except to put the foxes on half rations, stop killing the seals and wait until the seal skins come back into fashion. Orders have been issued to cut the annual seal kill in half again next year.
