Brokers' Problem

Loans by brokers to their Gus
toners on securities are down to
the point now where some of
them are thinking seriously Of
ways and means of increasing
them. One account I saw was
down practically 80 per cent
from its high in october last
year. This is a much greater de,
cline than the stock list has
sustained on the average. Others
tell me their loans ratios have
fallen to as great an extent.
Since brokers make money on
their loan accounts, the present
situation presents a definite
problem, especially since they
realize the difficulty of getting
the. singed public back in the
market at this time no matter
how cheap stocks may be.

Springfield, March II Pl-Solu- tion of the beverage liquor traffic problem is ono that runs through generations, and the 10 years during which national prohibition has been in effect is entirely too short a per- iod on which to base judgment of the efficiency of government action in controlling the traffic, said Dr. J. NJ. Doran, prohibition commissioner addressing the Hampdcn County Women's club here today.
 He said that in all tho discussion of the problem he was impressed with the fact that critics of the present national policy arc without any coherent or generally agreed up on program for constructive action There is, he said. a general agree ment on the need Of cffcctually curbinG the beverage liquor traffic especially in view of tho facts that the present economic structure Is more and more dependent on precise mechanical control in which the danger to others of irresponsible acts of an individual is greatly en- larged.
 Success in working out this great problem, said Dr. Doran, will be measured in terms of cooperation

Washington, March Il LP)-Wil- liam Howard Taft was committed to his Maker today in funeral serv- ices which bestowed the last tender offices of the government he served the church in which he worshipped, and the people whom he loved. x Thousands paid their homage as r' he lay in state under the dome of the capitol. Then in All Souls church, high on Sixteenth Street Hill. he received the simple minis trations of the Unitarian faith in which he lived. The federal govern- ment claimed him last of all, for military burial at Arlington. Rains Throughout Day
 A blustry March rainstorm, which whipped into the faces of his military escort and drenched :. the great flag draped about his 'casket, overcast the somber picture of the passing of the only man in American history to serve as both president and chief justice of his Acountry.
 President Hoover led tho nation in tribute. As the cortege passed the White House he stood bareheaded tWith Mrs. Hoover beneath the DOT tico. At All Souls church, with all he other high officials of the gov crnment, he took part in the short service.
 The pew where Taft himself had worshipped for many years was banked high with flowers. His own , pastor Rev. Ulysses c. B. Pierce, read some bits of poetry, intoned a few lines of Scripture, and said a prayer. The organ pealed the supplicating notes of Abide With Me" and Lead Kindly Light"
 That was all. There was no funeral oration.
 For nearly two hours the body lay f on a catafalque in the center of the spacious rotunda at the capitol while those, in all stations in life passed for q last glance at the lead CT who as president and chief jus tice endeared himself to the nation with his generous personality.
