SCHOOL SAVINGS ARE
 REPORTED ON INCREASE
Over 12,000 Children Saving Pennies Through Burritt Savings Bank Operation.

In the past two years there has been a total of $15S,506.9S deposited in the school savings department of the Burritt Savings bank, by school children. according 10 report made today. This total is made up of de- posits of s62,s32.11 in 1922 and ss5,- 654.S7 in 1923. Of this total, S56.- 443.1S was withdrawn leaving still on deposit s102,063.S0 so, which amount in cludes s2,2lS.17 interest paid. The average deposit has increased from 2S cents in 1929 to S7 cents in 1923, and the average amount on deposit per account is s9.12.
 In contrast to these figures is the report that there were fewer indi- yidual deposits in 1923, which would indicate that children are depositing their pennies in larger sums and not so often. The average number of weekly deposits in 1922 numbered S. 436, while in 1923 they were only S. SIT. The total number of deposits, however, jumped considerably because in 1922 the accounts ran only 32 school weeks while in 1923 they ran 40 weeks. Tho total number of de- posits in 1922 were 2tS,S37 and in 1923 they were 252,Gs1, making a to- tai number of deposits in two years of 471.b2S.
 The total number Of depositors en- rolled increased from 11,l67 in 1929 to 12,ol1 in 1923.

BONUS QUESTION AS
 BOTH SIDES SEE IT
Lions Club Members Hear Pro and Con Arguments Explained

At a meeting of the Lions Club
 in Odd Felolws Hall last evening the
 speaker of the evening was Aubrey l..
 Maddock of Hartford and a former
 member of the New Britain Herald"
 reportorial staff. MT. Maddock spoke
 one the soldiers bonus and explained
 arguments both for and against grant
 ing the bonus in it's present form. The
 speaker said that the anti-b bonus ad-
 vocates offer the argument that the men who stayed at home and made shells were every bit a patriotic as the men who were forced to go to France or who went to France on their own free will. He then explained the argument of the pro-bonus men who contrasted the difference between the wages of the soldiers who received S33 a month in France and the man who stayed atshome and was earning that amount in three days.
 The speaker said that he believed the best sort of recompense the United States could make to the men who risked their lives for their coun- try in France was to say We the United States of America will see that no veteran of the World War shall ever suffer for need of shelter or food" The speaker pointed out that this would not give any chance for the waste or dissipation that might occur if lump sum of money was paid over to the veterans. He then told of the manner in which the state of Connecticut had invested a cer- tain amount of money in Victory bonds, the income from this money to be paid out to veterans of the World War who, through no fault of their own, were in need of money. This money is paid out to the veterans through the American Legion. Mir. Maddock said that he thought that this was better plan than any other state had for taking care of veterans and that If the United States Of Amer lea were to adopt such plan it would work out successfully.
 MT. Maddock who is a member of the board of trustees of the Hartford veterans camp told of the money raised in this district last year to build n camp for the disabled veter- ans at Mantle and said that the good the men received from this camp where they spent month last sum mer could never be valued in money.
