when Deputy United States Mar

81 seized motor cars and motor
trucks had been sold for approx
mately s26,100.
Nineteen other cars, seized by
federal prohibition agents since the
close of the fiscal year, remain to
be sold. These still are in the Gus
tody of Col. II. f. Firth, the new
regional prohibition administrator,
according to his chief assistant, W.
w. Anderson, who said they would
be sold as soon as the necessar;
court orders had been obtained.
Two gasoline power launches, the
Thaddeus and the Ernie, seized by
federal prohibition agents as the
property of rum smugglers, also
were ibeled and sold under the
hammer by the federal marshal in
the last fiscal year.
There remains one other power
launch to be disposed of by auction

Cecil X. Sherman of Balboa Beach.
This boat, the Niger Boy, was
seized New Years eve. 1924, when

He will appear in court tomorrow

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY S. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

We cannot get away from the fact
that, through education, great
strides are being made in the
economic betterment Of the people
Of this country, and one of the most
encouraging signs with regard to
practical educational development is
the growth of our school savings
bank system.
Figures just available from the
American Bankers Association, show
that for the last school year there
We're 2,869,4 97 pupils enrolled in
school banks compared with 1885,
326 the previous year an increase of
633,171 pupils or nearly 80 per cent.
Deposits increased from $14,991,-
535 to $16,961, $50 while the bank
balances grew from $20,435,14 to
! S25,913, 531. The increase in de-
posits was more than 10 per cent and
in school balances nearly q per cent.
/ In the last five years an increase
of more than 500 per cent has been
made both in the number of school
bank depostors and in their deposits.
These figures tell greater story
than any of US can possibly realize.
The amount of money involved is
Of secondary Importance. II is to
be borne in mind, of course, that the
4 25,913.53l of school bank balances
are made up of the pennies carefully
saved by American children, but
while these youthful bank depositors
had less than ten dollars each in
their school banks the educational
values are not capable OF being
+ computed.
What it may be worth for these
children to grow up to lives of
thrift-these are the values that may
be placed on their school bank
balances.
1t is matter for greater re-
joicing that our school savings banks
are growing so rapidly and that thrift
among the children of this country is
gaining such widespread popularity.
