MOTOR VEHICLES AND BANK
DEPOSITS

There appears to be yet lurking
in the rccesses of some minds a
fiabby notion that the more we
spend the more we have; or to put
1t another way that II We elbow
our money we put it in circulation.
Thinking about it at interest,
where 1t is working rs the capital
of productive enterprises is very ir-
ritating to some folks. They avoid
doing 1t.
Now all this does not imply that
buying an automobile is blowing
money" It may be a real invest
ment, undoubtedly is in many in
stances. On the other hand the
fact that since January /, 1914 the
American people have averaged to
spend for motor vehicles a billion
and seven hundred millions an
nually. also that during that
time bank deposits. building and
loan assets and life insurance have
Increased does not conclusively
prove that IL we had not bought
the automobile the bank deposits
would be less. although that is the
inference we get from an address at
the World Transport Congress, yes
terday.
On the other hand 1t Is permits
sible to infer that the turning OF
the people to motor vehicles is not a
sign of dissolution of financial
stability or that no profit has been
secured to the people as a whole in
consequence of this. Anyhow. here
is one conclusion Of director. Mr..
Macauley. of the National Autouao-
bile Chamber df Commerce:
Increased individual efficiency is
always reflected in greater national
wealth and in economic progress"

The Ladies' Aid is mighty nice
l think it's mighty fine;
Before I'd make those ladies mad

They are worth their weight in

None Of them are old.
The Ladies Aid will always help
A worthy cause along,
If anybody dares to growl

All of them are fair.

streets that stretched toward the des-
ert. His heart sank. There was moth
ing more that he could do, then. He
hated MalopO now; he wished he had
never come.
Looking back toward the single cleo
trio light that stood at the corner OF
the market square, he fancied that he
perceived the figure Of the little man
who had talked with him upon the
stoep of the hotel. He was standing
with another, pointing after him.
Winton strode away. He had en-
irely forgotten Burns warning; and II
he had remembered it would not have
made any difference. He wanted to
get out toward the desert again, to
be alone
Old clothes shops, which thrived
upon the wages of the native gangs
brought to work in the compounds,
booths Of Greek, Syrian, and Indian
peddlers, alternating with vacant lots,
lined the sandy track. There were
mean little alleys that extended at
right angles, terminating in shadows.
The moonlight, struggling fitfully
through a bank Of clouds, something
rarely seen in the dry season, disclosed
the desert beyond.
Near the outskirts Of the town was
new structure consisting Of about q
score Of brick houses Of uniform height
and single story each, Joined to form
two sides Of "A square. On the third
side was another street, with vacant
lots fronting 1t; ON the fourth barbed
wire, and the desert beyond. In the
center was a well. These houses,
which were Of the crudest construction,
contained apparently but two rooms
apiece, and the aspect Of the whole
construction was dismal beyond imagi-
nation. Only two or three seemed to
be inhabited, and this fact was to be
learned by the tin cans and other ref
use that had been thrown out from
the doors.
Winton turned from the place in dis
gust and made his way toward the end
of the street, looking upon the desert.

hind him. Since the little man was
not one of them, however, he thought
little of the matter, and, as they came
quickly toward him, he stepped aside
to let them take the harder center of
the road.
When they were almost abreast of
him they separated, with the evident
intention Of passing on either side.
For the first time Winton scented mis-

where lay Ned Burns revolver. He
had half drawn it when it was dashed
to the ground, and the two leaped at
him.
A stunning blow upon the head from
a wooden baton sent WintOn reeling.
He gained his feet just in time, and
sent the men staggering back with a
couple of blows in the face. They
came at him again. A second blow
on the head felled Winton to the
ground. His assailants were upon him,
kicking and pounding him.
One of them put his hand into his
pocket and drew something forth, hold

Tokio. May 31-An unidentified Japanese today committed suicide in the street near the ruins of the Amer ican embassy. destroyed in the earth quake and fire of last September, as a protest against enactment of the American immigration law excluding Japanese from the United States.
 The Japanese, who was apparently about 40, and was dressed in the for nal dress Of q Japanese gentleman, committed harakiri with a short sword in the fashion prescribed by an ciont custom.
 Two letters were found on the body, one addressed to the American people and one to the Japanese people. The police retained the letters without re- Yealing their contents, but it is un- dersto tood the one addressed 10 Ameri- ca condemned exclusion in bitter terms. That addressed to tho Jap anese, it is said, urged the nation fo rise to avenge the insult embodied in the action of America.
 The incident has created sensation in Tolio despite efforts Of the police to suppress details.
