Seven Years Found
Savings Depositor's
Average Endurance
~ the Associated Press.

SARANAC INN. N. Y. June I.
The average American tires OF
having money in the bank after
seven years and proceeds to draw
1t out. according to report TO-DAY
in the convention Of the National
Association Of Mutual Savings
Banks.
THE average life of a savings
account is seven years" said the
report made by a committee
which has investigated the sub
ject. Accounts in any bank are
closed. To Offset this loss in the
number of depositors, a constant
effort is necessary to enlist new
depositors.
Analysis shows that about 8
per cent of the money In an
average savings bank belongs to
less than 10 per cent of the
depositors and about 20 per cent
of the depositors have not been
seen in the bank for six !nonths
or longer and have never made
as many as six deposits in any
one year. The periodical urge
to deposit is the only remedy for
this condition and one of the
most successful mediums for
creating that urge is the printing
press and the postman."

Germans Will Protest War Guilt Blame
By Mourning Day in Schools and Churches

I'm the Versailles documents, the
Germans are stamped as war criminals.
That is unbearable for the German

the war blame ascribed to the Ger

Therefore this committee finds it
desirable that June %, 1929. be day

Reapportionment of the membership
of the House OF Representatives, in ac-
cordance with the changes in popula-
tion which have occurred during the
last score of years, will be discussed In
the National Radio Forum arranged
by The Evening Star and sponsored by
the Columbia Broadcasting System to-
morrow night at o'clock, by Senator
Arthur H. Vandenbers of Michigan and
Representative John e. Rankin of Mis-
sissippi. The speeches will be broad
cast from this city by WMAL.
Senator Vandenberg has taken keen
interest in reapportionment legislation,
which is now about to be consumated.
Because OF the failure of Congress to
put through such legislation during the
last nine years his State has been de-
MED the representation in the House
to which it has been entitled under the
provisions of the Constitution. Mr.. Ran
kin was the ranking democratic men,
Der of the House census committee in
the last session and would occupy a
similar position in the present Con-
gress if the census committee had been
organized.
Measure Nearly Completed.
The bill for the reapportionment Of
the House membership in accordance
with the census soon to be taken, has
passed the Senate and the House and
II is expected that 1t soon will be in
final shape for transmission to the
President.
The speakers tomorrow night will tell
the effect of the proposed reapportion-
ment and what the pending bill does.
The size of the House is to be kept the
same, ABS members. But owing to shifts
in population and the growth in some
States far outrunning the growth in
others, some of the States will gain In
representation in the House and others
will lose Had the spirit of the Consti-
tuition been lived up to, reapportlon-
ment of the House would have followed
immediately the census taken in 1920.
The opponents of reapportionment.
however, have been able to stall OIL the
legislation until now.
Senator Vandenberg before he entered
the Senate was a newspaper puollsner
At the age of % he became editor and
publisher of the Grand Rapids Herald, a
position which he held continuously un-
til his appointment to the Senate IN
March, 1928, to fill vacancy caused by
the death of Senator Ferris. Sub
sequently he was Overwhelmingly
elected to the Senate. He is the author
of a number of books dealing with the
life and times of Alexander Hamilton
and with American tradition in public
service and public policy.
Rankin to Present Views.
The attitude of the South on reappor-
tionment. and especially regarding the
Tinkham amendment to exclude from
the census totals all disenfranchised
colored citizens in figuring the number
of seats in the House to which each
State is entitled. will be discussed by
Representative Rankin, who led the
fight in the House.
Representative Rankin is nationally
known figure in Congress through his
activities during the last few years on
almost all measures of major impor-
tance, including veteran legislation. He
is a resourceful and vigorous antagonist
in debate.
He has been practicing law for 10
years and for four years was prosecuting
attorney. He is a World War veteran.
He has served in Congress for nealy 10
years.

HOWARD RUM BAN
ST|RS DIPLOMATS
Other ENJOYS Consider They
Are Put in Embarrassing
Position by Action.

Back of the decision of Sir Esme
Howard, the British Ambassador and
dean of the Washington diplomatic
corps. to stop the importation of
diplomatic liquor" so far as the
British embassy is concerned, is a desire
TO put an end to adverse criticism of
his embassy and incidentally of his
country by some Americans who are
either not familiar with the immunities
and privileges which have always been
enjoyed by diplomats In foreign
countries. or who choose to disregard
hem.
This view of the British Ambs doris
action was expressed widely in diplo-
matte circles today.
Sir Esme's rather momentous deci-
sion with regard to the importation of
diplomatic liquor" was easily the
principal topic of conversation, at
least In private among Washington
of missions and the members Of their
stats.
Acts In Personal Capacity.
AS Secretary of State Stimson pointed
out, the British Ambassador is acting
entirely In his personal capacity. The
United States Government has made no
suggestion to any diplomat that the
right to import alcoholic liquor be given
up. On the contrary, Secretary Stirn-
son has made it clear that when the
matter was mentioned to him by Sir
Esme, he told the British Ambassador
that the State Department had no in
tention of infringing upon. or narrowing
any diplomatic privileges. but would pro-
tect all diplomats in the exercise OF
them.
Nevertheless. there are already indi-
cations that ardent American prohi-
bitionists such as James T. Carter OF
Lynchburg. Va, who wrote to the British
Ambassador. are already preparing to

A Southern Exposure

Corn Festival Postponed a Week
For reasons stated below the Corn
Festival is going to be postponed at
least one week. Some of the details
have not as yet been arranged and as
everybody is looking for this to be the
big affair Of the year, it should not be
held until everything is in readiness.
Those in charge are hard at work
on advertising and publicity matters,
in hope that a number of varieties OF
corn may be exhibited from counties
in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, and Maryland.
Here are just a few reasons:
l. It's too wet.
2. One of the nominees has copper
poisoning.
3. Weather is too cool, but as soon
as the bloom comes out, the time will
be ripe.
4. The candidates are in an argu-
ment over which kind of shirts they
will wear in the parade-stiff bosom,
or silk The danger of stiff bosom
shirt, they say, is that if it rains or
a drop would hit the shirt, it would
bounce, and perhaps cause damage,
at least leave a mark.
5. Another of the candidates is
limping around town due to the fact
that he has his corn mashed and he
won't be in shape for at least week.
Other Nominations
Scoop has received number of eX-
ira nominations from numerous
sources, but these are being withheld
for at least week and maybe longer.
(Scoop is open to bribery.)
1t is rumored that small majority
want the corn festival discontinued in
definitely, but for the good of Garrett
county, a festival of this kind should
be held every now and then.
At special meeting of the Ameri-
can Legion last Friday night the
members heartily endorsed the corn
festival as sponsored by Scoop and
Col Bell, and gave their permission
to use the gun that is now on
the Court house lawn. The cannon
balls don't fit, but that doesn't mat
ter. It's the principal of the thing
