 Need Becomes Habit
 From this need came the habit" " continued Mir Soliday. "I know of hundreds Of cases where persons living the simples lives ot their neighbors have left estates Of s260,- oo0 or more, In your New England CT the thrift habit is ingrained. Will liam A. Gaston, q Boston millionaire banker for years maintained the ac- count and pass book his father be, Queathed him. It is a custom of long standing 10 open 8 trust saw ing account for each child at birth. The pass book, at the child's coming Of age, is an impressive object les son in thrift"
 And. Mir, Soliday pointed out the savings habit is no less fixed in the foreign born who have come 10 New England.
 In addition to the fundamental and natural causes far saving, the habit has been made attractive in New England, U was in lSl6 that the Mutual Savings Bank plan was launched in Boston and Philadelphia simultaneously. In Boston a group Of citizens met in coffee house and formed the Proyident Institution for Savings in the Town Of Boston. some SS0,000 con are now on de- nosit in that bank. The limit of an individuals deposits was set at $500 because the object of the institution is to aid the poorer and middHng classes of society" Seamen and sol dters were advised to deposit their prize money, 1t was the days Of Iprivateers, and the bank was sug- gested for the use of "a young man intending to marry at future day. and young women who may expect to change their condition" As New England became increas- ingly industrial the mutual banks kept pace. They are still bcnevo- lence. There arc no stockholders and the trustees serve without pay. The profits, with the cost of opera ton deducted. are returned to the rdepositors in dividends. They also have had the effect of obtaining q higher rate of interest to depositors in commercial banks. The average rate in Massachusetts is more than 4la per cent. as against the 21s to .3ls paid where commercial banks have the field to themselves. City life, as well as industriai conditions. make for larger savings" said MT. Soliday, People living in cites are in a more rapid process sion. They save to educate their children or to improve their homes so as to keep up with the others. There is more class distinction than in the country and therefore more competition"
 MT, Soliday cited figures of the American Bankers association which showed that on June 30. 1925. New England led the country with $473 deposited in savings banks per capita.

statements of yesterday that he saw
no reason for reopening the investi-
cation.
It was learned today that State po-
lice are making a secret investigation
In Somerset County, where the bodies
Of the Rev. Edward s. Hall, rector of
the Church of st. John the Divine, of
New Brunswick, and one Of his choir
singers, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, were
found, riddled with bullets, on Sep
TENDER IA, 1922. The bodies lay few
hundred yards across the line divid-
ing Somerset and Middlesex Counties.
Both Of the victims lived in New
Brunswick, which is within the juris-
diction of the latter county.
Interest in the case was revived by
the filing Of petition by Arthur s.
Riehl Of Roselle Park for an annul-
ment OF his marriage to Louise Geist
Riehl, who at the time of the murder
was employed as a maid at the Hall
home. In this petition Riehl alleged
that his wife had knowledge Of the
movements Of some of the principals
in the case on the night Of the MUIR
der. The petition also declared that
Mrs. Riehl received $1,000 for keep
ing quiet"
Prosecutor Toolan today announced
that he had questioned Mrs. Riehl,
who lives with her parents, at David
sons Mil, near New Brunswick, and
that he could discover nothing to lead
him to advise another Investigation.
He said Prosecutor Bergen Of Somer-
set County saw Riehl's petition be-
fore he went on his vacation and that
he was Of the same opinion.

Dental aspirant.
Political leaders concede that the
convention most likely will adopt a
resolution dealing with the farm relief
subject and possibly indorsing some
specific relief program, but the con-
ventton is not generally expected to
go so far as to hold the President re-
sponsible for failure of farm bills in
the last Congress, or to consider the
political aspects of the campaign,
Meeting day after the. conference
OF the committee of %. which hopes
to agree Tuesday upon a new farm
bill to be presented to Congress next
Winter, the convention probably will
have some definite plan, already
adopted by farm groups, to incorpo-
rate in the party's platform.
Following closely upon the primary
that nominated Col. Smith W. Brook
hart for the Senate in what has been
widely interpreted as protest against
the failure of farm legislation, the
party convention may center largely
about that subject.
The keynoter. Dan Turner, has in
dicated that the farm situation would
receive considerable attention In his
speech, and Col Brookhart and Sen
ator A. B. Cummins probably win adj
dress the convention, dealing with
economic conditions as well as polit-
zeal matters.
1t will be the first Republican con-
vention to recognize Col. Brookhart
since he became member Of the
HSenate, his previous absence being
due to his differences with the party
organization.
The platform will contain definite
statement, advance reports indicate,
on agricultural policy and is expected
strongly to support the stand of SEN
ator Cummins and Col. SBrookhart
that the party has neglected to carry
out its promises to the farmers made
in 1924
Col. Brookhart's supporters have
indicated that he will not attempt to
gain control of the convention or the
party organization, combining his ac-
tivities to a continuation of the battle
on issues, primarily those relating to
the farmer.

New York, July l7.-The subway
doesn't need its striking motormen
back in order to keep trains rolling,
company officials announced today,
but the trains would roll a lot faster
u they were back.
Since the strike began almost two
weeks ago, the majority of the trains
have been run on a half-speed basis
to avoid danger of collisions by the
less experienced drivers. The COM
pany announced today that express
service had to a large extent been
put back on a full-speed schedule,
all these trains being operated by
motormen who stayed on the job or
by returned strikers.
The local service, still largely
operated by substitutes, remains on
low speed.

company counsel said today, but We
would be glad to have them back In
order to Increase the speed of our
trains. II would be much better for
the road, for themselves and for the
public If they came back"
Last Tuesday almost 700 strikers
were permanently" crossed off the
ultimatum that they must return to
work at a given hour or never re-
turn. This order was revoked yes
terday, however, and the strikers
were told they could come back any
time they wanted.
The company announced today
that service had steadily improved
since it was cut to one-third of nor
NAL when the strike began. with yes
terday the banner day of the strike
period. Yesterday the interborough
system, both subway and elevated
lines, carried almost 2,500,0O0 pas
