"There is one bad feature in con-
nection with big intercity matches, "
iGardner commented today, which
makes it a questionable policy to
hold many of them during season.
As ii rule we close down twenty
alleys to make room for spectators.
This not only. entails heavy loss
of revenue. but sacrifices the pleas
Alre of many who would rather
bowl than watch others. The Con-
.vention Hall Brooklyn match drew
the largest paid crowd in the

The girls are having parliament
:ary difficulties. All of the import
ant matters that were to have been
settled Saturday night with regards
to the city tournament were left in
the air when an argument de-
Veloped over who should be per

So the girls decided to let every
body vote at an open meeting to
be held next Saturday night at the
Arcadia.
It sounds like an excellent
Idea for the girls to turn the

n plan to bring some OF the
heading teams of the country here for
exhibition bowling matches in being
considered by AL Gardner, the
senterprising manager Of Convention
Hall.
Gardner's scheme is to borrow
talent from the National Duckpin
Bowling Congress tournament to be
held in Baltimore next month, thus
practically eliminating the railroad
fare which is usually major part
of the expense involved in the inter-
city clashes that have become so
popular in recent years.
There are at least three crack
teams in the national tournament

been so severely shaken that it will take
real change in the business and credit
situation to bring about permanent
Improvement
Prices on the curb declined as
precipitously as on the Stock Exchange,
and as might be expected, those stocks
which led the recent advance declined
sharply. Stocks on most of the local
exchanges finally began to feel the ef-
fects of liquidation in New York, but
the declines we're extremely moderate
in comparison.
AS was the case in the June break,
San Francisco declined more than any
of the local exchanges. This time, how
ever, it was holster Radio instead of
Bancitaly Corporation which caused the
break. holster has replaced Bancitaly
as the speculative favorite of the coast,
and the severe break in this stock last
week caused heavy liquidation in other
stocks.
During the past two weeks the mar
ket struggled heroically to reach new
high levels but the opposing forces were
too strong. The fact that good business
had been fully discounted and that high
money rates were in prospect for at
least another month made it impossible
for stocks to continue on. 1t looked as
though stocks must either move hori-
zontally for a long time or they must
react. On Thursday IL per cent call

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1l.--Many
reports have appeared during the past
few days to the effect that the big stock
market pools have been trying to stem
the tide of the reaction. This theory
hardly seems warranted, since pools do
not operate on that principle. One of
the Oldest rules Of manipulation, and
one which many large operators have
made public. is that pools liquidate
when the market is declining.
Pool stocks are generally manipulated
to the highest point possible and sold to
the public on the way down. When
stocks react slightly from a high there
are many people anxious to buy for at
this point new highs are expected inn
mediately. AS prices continue to de-
cline, however, the amount of public
buying grows less and finally the public
Is forced to part with their stocks which
have been carried all the way down.
When margin calls force the public to
dump securities on the market in
quantities the real bargain day arrives.
Thus 1t is the insiders and pools who
usually throw stocks on the market
early In the break, and the public
throws them on toward the end: the
public gives the market support early in
the decline, the big traders toward the
end.
No one can tell how long the present
decline will last, but 1t is safe to con-

NEW YORK, December 11.-Recent

had declared earnings did not merit

in bull market.
1t is understood pool operators bought
the stock last year or before for around
86 cents share. On some days sales
ran above 100000 shares, and paper
profits reached staggering total-more
than $10,0000o0
The pool was actually group of
brokers with mutual understanding
and well made plans for buying and
selling an issue at steadily advancing
prices and with definite campaign
for bringing about such an advance.
1t Is believed to have sold out at least
twice, first at 81 and again around the
$40 level, and then to have gone back
into active trading, but to have sold
again before the disastrous break which
sent the issue back to below $40 a share.

BUILDING AND LOAN

ber of Investors in Various
Institutions.
BY JOHN r. SINCLAIR.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 11.-Will the
building and loan associations become
the dominant savings institutions Of
the country?
George L. Bliss, vice president of the
Franklin Society for Home Building
g. Savings of New York City, believes
they will if they show the growth dur
ing the next five years that they have
during the last ten.
If they do, the building and loan
association resources of the Nation by
1882 will total $4,000 ,o00, 900, deposited
by more than 100000 members.
Throughout the country the aver
age rate of growth expansion in total
resources is about l6 per cent year."
said Mr.. Bliss.
The growth record is astonishing. In
1917 the total resources of all the
building and loan associations in the
country were $1,769 100000. This had
grown to $3,S42 100000 by 1922 and to
ST. l78, 100000 at the beginning Of 1928.
Membership growth, too, Is large. In
1917 four persons in every hundred In
the United States were members. In
1927 10 persons in every hundred were
members.
The number of members is not grow
ing quite so fast as the resources, due
to an increase in individual wealth. In
1917 each member of a building and
loan association averaged a $46O bal
ance. This had grown to $633 in

IT TAKES A LOT OF MONEY

A vast amount of capital is requir ed to keep the wheels of industry turning in this countrv.-just how much is indicated by Alvan T. Si- monds,, President of the Simonds Saw and Steel Company in the Nations Business"
 "There is,o he says. "about s3,009 in capital back in the United States, and our prosperity and our standard of living are based upon this capital
 sThe world today is short of capi- tai. Everybody in the United States seems to believe that, with us, capi- tai is over-abundant, and yet, since the war. there have been three pc riods each of year or longer in which money rates have moved higher, |. e.. the supply of credit has fallen off in relation to demand. The chief cause of these movements has been the lack of capital upon which credit is based.
 "One of the greatest needs of the world today is increased savings to create a greater capital fund. A large part of this increase may come from profits. A larger part than usual seems to be coming from the earn ings of workers who are now rapidly becoming capitalists and sharers in both dividends and profits.
 "Both business and workers have gained by increased savings on the part of the worker and by his invest ment of them in business enterprises.
