State Bank Commissioner Speaks
 to Rotary Club

An interesting talk on investment trusts was given this noon at the regular luncheon meeting of the Rotary club. by Lester E. Shippee, state bank commissioner, in which he gave an outline of the growth of this business in this country. He said that investment trusts were first started in Great Britain about 1880 and in this country subsequent to the World War. Great Britain was the worlds banker foc the last 50 years of the 18th century, but since then this country has been recogniz- cd as the source of finance. The speaker hinted that there are many so-called Investment Trusts" which make a practice of using the inves- tors money for their own interest, with the result that. the investor is generally the loser. He warned his hearers to keep far away from such trusts.
 Perfect attendance buttons were presented to members by President Alexander Scott. Those who re- ocived the decorations were: Will liam E. Day, William E. Muller and Robert Graves for one years perfect attendance: E. J. Porter and Howard sherman. for years: Edwin Ben nett. Lambert Lord and Frank Shield, for three years.

WORLDS USE OF
 COAL IS GAINING
Figures Show All Nations krt
 Using More

Copenhagen. Denmark, April | Pe-In practically all countries coal consumption has been increasing since 1918. In most countries the increase is between 10 and 15 per cent In Holland it is more than 50 per cent.
 In spite of this, says the Scandi- navian Shipping Gazette. British coal exports are dwindling, while those Of France. Germany and Poland are on the increase. Thus. the amount of British coal export cd last year was but 4S.7OO,0O0 tons. far short of the 7S,400,oo0 tons exported in 1913. The French increase of coal experts is about 6,ooo,ooo metric tons, that of Ger many ?.4S4.ooo tons, and that of Poland 5,s72.0oo tons.
 Polish exports to destinations other than Germany in 1927 were approximately 3,00o,o0 tons less than in 1926-the year of the big British coal strike-but 5,O0000O tons more than in 1925. These fig ures indicate the extent to which Poland was able to retain the trade captured in the year when the British mines were idle for seven months. Polish exports to Austria and Hungary in 1sc. weer about the same as in 1925, but the exports to Scandinavian countries decreased greatly. To Sweden the exports increased from 344.0oo tons 10 o.304.OOO tons: to Denmark from 900 to 1,:31.0Oo tons: to Norway from 500 to 1ss, 900 tons: and to Finland from 5000 tons to 22S.00o tons. Poland had also a large increase in coal ex- ports 10 Italy. i. e.. from S7.o0o to 1.13o,0oo tons
