Consult Your Banker.

II you are inexperienced in invest
ing money, it is very unwise to plunge
into unfamiliar ventures. You will
profit by consulting some one who is
familiar with such affairs. Consult
your banker as to the requirements
as to bank Investments; what are
safe for their funds are very certain
to be safe for yours. 1t is always
well. moreover, to seek his advice

BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOtI-
ATOMS.
s~yarsx Sn.rth Ars;rI~

In the preceding article in this
series some of the general facts per
tanning To building and loan associ-
ations were stated. Because of the
varying laws under which these aSso-
Citations operate in the different
States. ii IS not possible TO give de-
tails which apply to all of them. 1t
will help, however. toward under
standing the methods if the case OF
one association. operating in New
York State is taken for illustrations
Two Glasses of Members.
There are two classes of members.
those who borrow and those who
simply save. II is the funds OF the
latter which make possible the loans
to the former. There are two kinds
OF shares one, those requiring a
specified sum to he paid each month
and the other one on which any
amount may be deposited al any time.
The dividends paid on the first class
are per cent and those on the sec
ond class per cent. II is surprising
how rapidly money acCumulates when
dividends are compounded every SIN
months. even at only per cent. Ii
800 per month is saved the total
in l47 months will amount TO s2ol.oS.
If the rate is per cent the gain.
OF course. is more RAPID.
Loans are made 10 members only. and
the mortgages are paid off by monthly
installments of per cent covering both
interest and reduction Of principal, and
requiring II years and months to pay
off the entire Indebtedness. In the case
of free shares-that is. the shares OF
members who are not borrowers-with-
drawals may be made at any time, al
though If the Withdrawals are made
before the shares are five years old a
portion of the credited dividends is for
feited This loss may be saved, how
ever, if the member wants temporary
accommodation only by borrowing from
the association. putting up his pass book
As security In this way he may secure
up to 80 per cent of the value of his ac-
count Later when he pays off the loan
his interest i'll the association is unlm-
paired.

Plans Carefully Examined.

When a member borroHS to build
house the association examines and APP
proves the plans and pays the contractor
in inStallments as the building pro-
crosses This particular association
helps its members by supplying plans
and specifications for prospective home
buildings at a nominal cost, which is
very advantageous to those lacking ex-
perience or confidence in their own abil-
ity to select An architect. The fact that
the association is willing to make loan
on the proposed building is also an in
dorsement of the reasonableness of the
cost of the proposed building. As has
been stated, different associations have
varying provisions. both as TO savings
and as to loans.

cording to the records in Mr.. Rosen-
felt's book.
While in various sections Of the
country the book is regarded as hav-
ing been written especially to COM
bat the Ku Klux Klan, Mr.. Rosen-
felt, himself, refers to it as ''the
story of a great enterprise Of mercy
and brotherhood" Several chapters
are devoted to the non-sectarian ap-
peal in which all creeds served to-
gether in whole-hearted sympathy,
and the author in many places makes
an impressive plea for unity and CO.
ordination in communal life.
Wilmington was selected as the
city where the first non-sectarian
appeal be made. A dinner was held
on May 10, 1918, in an effort to awak-
en- interest throughout the city in
the plight of the unfortunate in Eu-
rope.
Pierre du Pont was one Of the
guests at that dinner. He listened to
some of the speeches and then, ac-
cording to Mr.. Rosenfelt, "impulsive-
arose." His talk is given as follows:
u6 CudAA ulclu nclo dAAuuGu " liz

think I am as much entitled to be

son for being here. 1 have one
eighth Jewish blood in me-my
grandfather having been a Jew-and
1 consider it my special duty, not
merely my privilege, to join in the
raising of these funds.
LET me assure you that Whining
ton will raise-at least-the schedul-
ed $4,000, for I will, myself, under
write the campaign to that amount"
That was the impetus that pushed
the Delaware contributions above
expectations.
The dinner, according to Mr.. Ros-
enfelt, was also attended by VIII
liam Coyne, the late Mayor John W.
Lawson, Louis Topkis, Rev. Charles
L. Candee, John s. ROssell, Rev.
Thomas P. Holloway, Joseph Ban

DELAWARE SAFETY COUNCIL

In an effort to help remedy a de-
plorable traffic situation in Delaware
which, in 1928 cost the lives Of
fourteen children and thirty-nine
adults and resulted in serious per-
sonal injury to 1016 others, the Di-
rectors of the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil propose to organize 10000 motor
drivers into a Safe Drivers Club.
Those who enroll in the club will
sign a pledge of Safe Driving and
will be furnished an emblem for
their car, a bulletin devoted to street
and highway safety and be entitled
to scholarships in the various Auto
Drivers schools sponsored by the
Council. The cost of membership In
the Club is the nominal Dum Of one
dollar which merely covers the cost
of the program to reduce the auto
mobile accident toll.

RABBI WISE PUTS COMPERS DOWN AS
 A GREAT PIONEER
Likens Labor Leader to Country s Greatest Statesmen in
 Funeral Eulogy.

pr. Stephen $. Wise rabbi of the Free Synagogue ill New York, eulo gized Labor'S leader of half century for the same virtues ne has eulogized i'll dead statesmen, fnarc;ers and sol
 diers. Rabbi Wise opened the funeral services Thursday.
 Mir. Gompers, he said, was above all "irontiersman, daring when daring was needed, but filled with the con servatism of the pioneer when cOndi- tions called for such quality.
 Though MT. Gompers seemed an iconoclast to many, Dr, Wise said, his outstanding quality was the "modera- tion of true statesmanhip.
 Dr. Wise described to the silent audience an immigrant boy, to whom America dawned so glamorously that he became a "fanatical worshiper ot the nation and its ideals.
 He began his services by reading the Twenty third Psalm i'll Hebrew. He followed this with the l21st Psalm in English. T will lift up mine eyes unto the hills. whence cometh my help, and on this text he preached his funeral sermon.
 Samuel Gompers," he said, was a pioneer rather rugged than suave, firm rather than conventional Pioneer he was i'll the military sense, for his was the militant mood, and throughout h1s life he fought the battle of great cause, not for larger wage or added comfort, but for a freer and fuller lite for the toilers of the nation, which could not be without these instrumen talties of life and freedom.
