Increase in Savings Deposits

increase In Savings UepOSltS
New savings deposits throughout
the nation in 1880 were more than a
billion. The American Bankers as
sociation points out that during the
height of the stock market specula-
ton, savings deposits decreased by
$195,000,000. That was during the
hectic days of 1929 when paper profits
showered upon many SPECTATORS.
When the reaction set in, one of the
first changes in the banking struc-
ture was the increase in all deposits
and especially so in the savings de-
partments.
OF course, the important factor in
draining away savings deposits was
the lure of profits to be made in stock
speculation. Not only has the past
year or so witnessed an increase In
the total of savings deposits, but the
number Of depositors has increased
materially.
Thrift is more generally practiced
now than for years past. Persons
who spent great sums in foreign travel
are getting even better recreation at
lower price nearer home. During
the first six months Of 1881 North
Atlantic liners carried 127,700 less
passengers. A new type Of tourist Il
being developed. Liners which en-
gagged In world tours are now making
short trips to Halifax and the Ber-
mudas ct prices within the reach Of

Theory That Steel Fragments Roam through @ IiSou''
Penetration Is Without Foundation

es To the avoidance of needle acci-
dents:
/. Sew only in a light room and IN
a comfortable position.
2. Keep needles in a definite place.
Don't park" them in the wall paper
or furniture. When needle Is not

detection if lost.
g Keep the fingers we'll away from
the needles in sewing machines.
4. Use thimble.
5. Inspect garments that have been
repaired before washing or wearing.
6. Wear shoes or slippers about the
house. 49,.
7. Leok where you search; don't
poke blindly into Uttered drawers or
bags.
8. Keep one needle at time IN
the work basket; keep all others out
of the way.
One of the most difficult tasks is
to find a portion of needle, a pin, or
even a bullet that has been buried
in the tissues. One modern techn1c
involves method of magnetizing the
impacted fragment and uses another
needle which behaves like compass
point to locate it. Magnets are used
in an attempt to draw the needle
nearer to the surface.
One of the best pieces Of advice that
can be given to anyone who has been
penetrated by a fragment is to keep
still. Muscular movement tends to
cause the fragment to move from the
+, point at which it entered. Squeezing
and manipulation are likely to aid
the motion still more. 1t is best to
fasten the portion firmly and thus to
keep the fragment in place until an
expert is called who knows how to
remove it.
