IL YEAR OLD FAIRMONT
II. S. BOY DROWNED

Willie, the II year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Eickhoff of Fair
mont, and a sophomore in high school
there, was accidentally drowned in
Lake Sisseton, at Fairmont, late Sun
day afternoon of last week when
canoe in which he and a companion
were riding, upset as a result of the
high wind. The other youth made
heroic efforts to rescue young Eick-
hoff, and almost lost his own life in
the attempt, as the drowning lad
cluthched his would-be rescuer
around the body and dragged him to
the bottom of the lake, which is
about ten feet deep at that place.
The remains were found following a
continuous 26-hour search with SEM
ing nets and specially constructed
graphing hooks, working day and
night. Several hundred people
watched the retrieving operations
from the shore.

WashingtOn's Business Acumen Praised
BY Magazine Editor i'm Radio Address

A picture Of George Washington as
the country's first outstanding business
statesman with a score of business in
terestS as far-reaching as any of the
present-day captains of industry was
presented last night by Merle Thorpe,
editor OF Nations Business, in a radio
talk over Nation wide hook-up of the
National Broadcasting Co.
Everywhere" Nr. Thorpe said, in
part, there is evidence that Washing
ton was highly successful business
man. He was a banker; he was an
engineer; he was interested in trans
portation, both highway and waterway;
he was q manufacturer; he applied
science to his farming problems; he was
a real estate dealer and one Of the first
large scale American exporters.
He was the first to understand and
appreciate our national opportunity in
the development of the West. He was
the first Virginian to see that tobacco
was played out because the land was
worn, and to meet his farm problems
by diversification."
Washington, Mr.. Thorpe pointed out
kept a careful record of his business
transactions and used q system of "cost
accounting" which was quite unusual
in those early days.
There is scarcely a problem which
Washington faced which we do not
face today In different forms-finance,

Women Now Own
More Than Half of
Corporate Stocks
Buy Sound Issues and
Hold Securities Much
Longer Than Men Do.

Women own well over half and IN
many instances so per cent of the stock
outstanding of the leading railroad,
public utility and industrial corpora
tionS Of the United States, according
to a statement by the publishers of the
Encyclopedia Americana. Their total
investment is reckoned in excess of
$50, 900 ,000, 900.
THE wealth of our country controlled
by its women is increasing yearly"
says the statement. This is due not
so much to the increasing interest of
women In financial affairs as it Is to
the fact that women are usually the
recipients of the large fortunes built
up by our enterprising business men
and of their life insurance.
Corporations which come directly in
contact with the daily lives of women,
such as chain stores, department stores,
light. power and gas companies, show
in most instances, continual gain in
the percentage of woman stockholders
over men. Women are not so inclined
to be interested in oil companies, but
show a decided preference for the
shares of our premier railroads.
Women also show more of a tendency
to buy and hold securities than do men
who are likely to take speculative
position. Men do not seem to value the
regular dividend or interest payments
as much as women and are more in
clined to take long chances, often with
large losses"

ment of chain banking or tolding-com-
pany control reaching over city, county
and State lines, and the Federal Re-
serve districts, to the four corners of
this country, with total assets running
into billions of dollars, thereby repre-
senting a tremendous concentration of
banking assets under the control of
centralized holding company: and this
is not ALL Within the past year the
group plan has developed, whereby
banking is being centralized and con-
trolled in groups within the confines
of trade areas. We find such groups
being fostered in st. Paul, Minneapolis,
San Francisco, Seattle Boston, Pitts
burgh, Cleveland, Detroit and many
other cities"
Urges Study of Situation.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Representative McFadden said that he
did not know just what legislation
should be enacted to meet the situation,
adding that none could actually be
passed at this session of Congress. He
urged a complete study of the entire
banking situation with a view to find
ing out what legislative action, II any,
Is needed. To this end hearings are to
be begun during the present week.
From his speeches, Mr.. McFadden
appears much more favorable to branch
banking than to chain banking, which,
he says, has until comparatively recent
ly been considered "a highly dangerous
practice"

BELIEVES BANKING
is MENACED BY GROUP PLAN
Member of Congress Warns
Against Spread of Chain
Systems in U. S.
Says Federal Reserve Has
Tended to CentraIize Re-
sources of Country.

Chairman Louis T. McFadden of the
House banking and currency commit
tee fears for the future of the Federal
Reserve system If the recent trend to-
ward an entire change in banking
methods continues indefinitely. There
Is probably no problem before the
country today of greater Importance
than the subject Of our future banking
policy, he declares.
He bases his fears largely on the
rapid spread of chain or group banking.
He considers the apparent decline Of
independent or unit barking as moth
ing less than alarming as it is being
followed by the substitution of various
methods of branch banking, group
banking, and chain banking, and a
centralized holding accompany control of
the country's banks.
Sees Capitalization.
Developments indicate" Chairman
McFadden told Congress the other day,
that the Federal Reserve system, in
stead of decentralizing banking re-
sources in the United States, has
tended to centralize banking to an ex-
tent far beyond that which existed
prior to the enactment of the law.
This is evidenced by the increased size
and Importance Of big BANKS, princi-
pally in New York, Chicago and other
large cities, so that at the present time
we find that the concentrating of Ma
tion-wide banking assets under control
of these big banks or their Affiliations
has become so important that it is
overshadowing the entire Federal Re-
serve system of operations.
"One naturally begins to wonder
whether or not some of the large banks
or groups may not entirely dominate
the election of officers and directors
of many Of the Federal Reserve banks
and so be factor in the determination
of the changes in Federal Reserve
policy which are made from time to
time by the Federal Reserve Board"

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Power Demand Ahead of December,
but Below Same Period
Year Ago.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 22.-That in
dustrial activity in the United States
during January made a as per cent
gain as compared with December, but
was 81 per cent below the mark estab-
lished in January, 1929, is shown in the
consumption of electrical energy by
more than $500 manufacturing plants
throughout the country, Electrical
World reports. General manufacturing
reached the low point in the present
cycle in December, but a marked up
ward swing became evident in the f1g-
ures for January operations.
Manufacturing operations in the three
principal industrial sections of the
country all reported higher rate of
activity in January as compared with
December. New England'S gain was 1875
per cent, the Middle Atlantic States, "A
per cent, and the North Central States,
ia per cent. Continued drops in man
ufacturing activity were reported for
the Southern States, with 1876 per cent,
and the Western States, with 81 per
cent. Every section of the country,
however, reported manufacturing activ-
ity last month was lower than in jan
uary, 1929.
For the first time since last August
the automobile industry, including the
manufacture of parts and accessories,
showed greater productive activity.

JANUARY BUSINESS HELD
92.5 PER CENT NORMAL

Business will probably continue at the
January level through the first quarter
OF the year, says the Brookmire Eco
nomic Service, with probable decline
in the second quarter.
Preliminary figures for January show
a recovery in our business index TO
about 92.5 per cent normal. The figure
for December was 80 per cent, showing
decline from 104 per cent in October.
The January recovery apparent was not
quite as great as expected
"The advance in the business index
from the December low is caused by the
sharp expansion in automobile produc-
ton and the more than seasonal rise
in steel production and cotton con-
sumption. Building construction shows
further decline, but still remains sub
stantially above the normal line"
