che organization during the present

last year and most of their associates
: have already had broad committee eN-
perlence.
They will keep their fingers on the
business and financial pulse of the
community during the year in a man
ner that will furnish the local banks
with Just the information that they
need. They will also be on the LOOK
out for fraudulent securities and suS-
gest new methods for protecting the
Washington banks and depositors
from losses.
The committee on standard banking
forms has already functioned for two
years and many of their recommends
tions have long since been put into
practice. Through extended research,
the N0HlNHt3nlp accounts committee
has been able to suggest many ways
Tor reducing the amount of business
handled that does not render SatisfaC-
tory returns. In recent years the adj
Vp.tising committee has leaped to the
front because of the increase in the
amount Of advertising done by the
hssocia ton and the careful manner in
which these men have investigated va
ffous schemes presented TO individual
banks

As Moody Views Coolidge Move.
Moody's Weekly Review says in
part:
: Experience has again demonstrated
thai the stock market is greater than
INV one man. The announcement of
1IESibtJjl N-Jb3ttSC uiA not IiuJH uAS-
turb the market; this is another illus
tration of the fact that changes of
leadership are very seldom incon.
venient to nations, corporations or
Industries.
Even if it We're clear that Mr..
Coolidges withdrawal were to prove
a loss to the financial outlook. this
loss for time being would probably
be more than offset by the remarka-
BE Improvement in the position of the
money market. There is no precedent
in modern financial history for so
great an increase in the supply of
aoanable funds. occurring so long
after the peak of the Spring trade"
