At the reserve banks there was
also an increase in the volume of
outstanding credit refIecting chiefly
the demand for currency in connec-
tion with the Fourth Of July holi-
DAY and the issuance July 10 of the
new, small sized paper money. The
increase of money in circulation,
however, was offset In part by a
further gain in the country's stock
Of monetary gold amounting to
$4,000, 900 between the first of
June and the middle of July.

Custom Of Years
This delightful custom the du
Points have maintained for sew
eral years. The men say that It
has worked wonders in bringing
them together, In establishing
friendly relations, In developing
a spirit OF the Wsarn1est loyalty
toward the du Points and, OF
course, the organization.
James D. Mooney, now the phe-
f1nn1AVla lIty -
General Motors Export Company,
the largest exporting enterprise in
the United States. was once dele
gated to take charge of q plant
which was doing badly. He soon
discovered that everybody was
working at cross purposes, that
jealousies were rampant, that dis
loyalty was rife and that his ad-
vent was keenly resented.
What did Mooney do?
He vowed to himself that he
would make his first and chief
business to change the morale.
Instead OF swinging the AK and
decapitating several heads, he In
vited his principal co-workers to
his home for dinner and a social
evening. The first invitation
aroused suspicious. But it was not
apparently considered diplomatic
to refuse it. That party was not
much of a success.
Breaks Barriers
The following week Mooney did
the same thing. And he kept
this up.
Gradually. rather than rapidly,
the atmosphere begaA to clianee.
Those who resented his coming BE-
gan to feel that they had nothing
to fear so long as they did their
jobs well. In time, & con1piete
transformation was effected In the
esprit de corps.
And the plant blossoned ana
floufished. Indeed, its success was
definite factor In Moneys later
rise In life.
