BANKS UNAFFECTED
 BY FLORIDA BOOM
No Unusual Withdrawals Re ported by Savings Institutions
PEOPLE NOT SPECULATIVE
Few Inquiries Made by Deposltors For Information Concerning Sit uation in Far South-Rcal Estate Market Here Still Strong.

Now Britain has failed 10 cnthuso over the Florida land boom and while several other Connecticut cities report heavy withdrawals from savings accounts for specula- tive investments in the south and realtors say the dead" market in home town realty is the direct re- suit of that boom, local bankers and real estate mon say no such conditions exist here.
 Trust companics and commercial banks, as might bo expected, do not feel tho effect of land purchase withdrawals, but there are several banks in this city having savings departments, as well as one bank which is exclusively q savings bank. It is in this department of finance that heavy investments would be felt, yet those in charge say none but the usual summertime with drawals have taken place.
 Banks Not Affected
 IT cSII'nC l.. 4N' Et'tlII'E VI lHN Savings Bank ot New Britain re- ports the ordinary shrinkagc Of July and August. This is attributed to tax payments. the purchase of auto mobiles and building operations
 The greatest demands for loans nowadays, according to President Stanley, arc for local building opera ti0ns. While it is not customary for persons withdrawing their funs 10 inform bank officials us to tho req son, advice is usually sought. The savings bank has received very few inquiries as 10 Florida investments and no intimution that money with drawn lately has been laid out in speculating in the south.
 Other banking hous"$ made slm- liar reports. In no cHee were there statements to indicate that the cf- frcts of the boom were reflected in local banking. Bankers only laughed when asked if there was truth in a report loans are being recalled tC counteract the effect of big with draWals to buy Florida real estate.
 Real estate men say the market for New Britain properties is nnus- ualy active for this time of the your.
 Normal Amount Of Deeds Rccarjcd
 City Clerk A. l.. ThompSon's files show somewhat fewer warranty deeds recorded of late. This is a con- dition usually found at this time of the year, the clerk reports. Mort gage8 are out of proportion 10 war ranti"s at the present time, but whether this is tEe result of q de- sire to raise money for investments elsewhere it is difficult to determine positively.
 One local finanCior expressed be- lief that the Florida lard boom will never grip Now Britain because oi the makeup of this citys ropuIa- lion. A large percentage of those having savings accounts come from among the foreign residents and they are not hy nature speculative. Their investments are for the most part in New Britain real estate. If there are New Britain invee, ors in Florida land, they come largely from among those who would obtain their cast for snoculation from sources other than withdrawals from savings ac. counts, this financior believes.

believe the message was q hoax.
Joseph Maurer, father of the slain
man, and first States attorney,
George z. German, do not credlt
Balls story. But his narrative Is
freshingly convincing to the man
counting off the hours in the death
cell of the county Jail. And 1t Is
accepted as gospel truth by Scott s
father and wife, who are joyously
convinced that a miracle has hap
pened-that Russell Scott will not
die upon the gallows.
The decision, of course, must be
made by Governor Small.
According to Balls story he was
in the drug store making a pur-
chase the night the Scott brothers
came in; that Robert asked Maurer
for the money the drug store owed
the brothers; that he BalD listened
because the talk concerned a
whiskey deal; that Maurer denied
owing money; words passed; that
Russell, when he saw fight was
impending, told his brother that
the sum was too trivial to make
so much fuss over and they would

that Robert wouldn't listen; that
Robert was ordered out of the

cause he was standing with his

from the fact that a person with
a recation-time of 1.5 seconds in

If he has a reaction-time of half

does not attach any Importance to
the popular belief that women are
emotional and therefore liable to
lose their head in an emergency.
He said:
Losing Their Heads.
There is no basis for the asser-
ton that women are more liable
to lose their heads. 1t is largely
a myth that society has fostered
by playing up the idea that women
are expected to be emotional. There
is no physical reason why they
should be-"
There was a time when superior
strength was a factor in favor Of
men in driving, but this is no
longer true. Doctor Moss takes
the position that the modern type
of machinery is such that the ele-
ment Of strength is hardly called
into play at all and may be re-
garded as negligible as compared
with speed of reaction and intelli-
gence.
" knowledge of the mechanics of
a car is important" he said, but
there is no reason to believe that
men are essentially better mechan-
les than women. 1t is just a ques-
ton of their going to the trouble
to learn. One only need mention
their skill with the sewing ma
chine, on rifle teams and with the
telegraph clicker to show that the
inherent aptitude is there"
