NEW YORK, September 3.-A new

City Bank stated In its monthly eco

security and commodity prices.
THE anxieties caused by depreciat-
ing values are lightened and once more
people believe that business will get
out of the depression and that with
cooperation and orderly adjustment the
economic organization will function
normally again." the bank said.
This is very heartenins change
in a quarter where improvement was
essential, for of course 1t was necessary
that people should regain their belief
in the recuperative powers of the eco

the will to spend and invest necessary

The review enumerated various de-
t,lornents which it said are promising
from long range viewpoint, but do
not imply that the world is ready
for rapid recovery to normal con-
ditions.

However, 1t Is natural that a re-

since the number Of shareholders in

greater than ever before.
According to recent compilations the
number Of stockholders In the larger

District repay money thus far advanced
year.
The District stands to lose in several
ways Its residents who have entered
into informal agreements with the Park
and Planning Commission for sac OF
their laIfds to the United States will
find these agreements violated by the
United States, which withdraws the
money to carry them through.
The park and playground develop
ment of the Capital, some features of
which are semi-national and some of
which are more local in character
such as needed playgrounds-will be
halted indefinitely. Halt-completed prof.
ects will remain unfinished, and advan-
tage of purchasing land at present
prices-the fundamental idea behind
advancing the $l6000,00o to the Park
and Planning Commission-will De lost.
The District will continue, however,
to be taxed million dollars year to
| repay, at the stipulated rate, money
already advanced. But instead of re-
ceiving the assistance of the Federal
Government to the extent represented
sum Of $9,500,000, the District finds
IllES llIlPuOlOlA Oub w Vic dAAAOhhb
represented by the proportionate part
of lump sum of $6,500,000.
Fixed Ratio for the States.
There is an additional factor to be
considered in connection with the re-
duction, through reduction of the lump
sum of United States participation in re-
payment of the Treasury advance. The
Capper-Cramton park legislation au-
thorized, in addition to the $4,000, 900
advance for park purchase and devel-
opment in the District, about 81 ,000, 600
for park purchases in Maryland and in
Virginia, part of this money to be used
in development of parks in Maryland
as extension of the District park Sys-
tenn, part to be used in connection with
the George Washington Memorial Park
way, running on both sides of the Po-
tomac from Mount Vernon to Great
Falls. This money was to be aug
mented by funds from Maryland and
Virginia. Maryland, in the case of the
District of Columbia park extension
program. would contribute two-thirds,
the United States contributing one
third. Maryland and Virginia, in the
case of the George Washington Memo
rial ParkwayS, would contribute on q
fifty-fifty basis with the United States.
The action of the House in reducing
the lump sum, therefore, means that
in the case of the District the Fed
eral Government would lower its con-
tribution toward repayment of the
sic, 900 900 Federal advance.
In the case of Maryland and Vir-
ginia, the Federal Government has
committed itself to a fixed contribu-
tion of one-third In the one case and
half in the other. The fact that it
temporarily halts appropriations under
the Capper- -Cramton bill does not alter
the division of cost. That remains
fixed, as between the Federal Govern
ment, Maryland and Virginia. But In
the case of the District, Federal par
ticipation toward repayment of the loan
is unstable and changing, and reduc-
tion of the lump sum means reduction
in such participation.

1t is dangerous to take any
chances with pyorrhea. Here are
two precautions to follow: First,
be sure not to forget the address
of your dentist. Visit him twice a
year, anyway. He is a real friend
in need. Second, pick out a tooth
paste that does more than polish
your teeth. Forhan's Toothpaste
is a thoroughly good cleanser
none better. But it takes care of
the gums too, and you cannot have
healthy teeth in anhealthg gums.
DR.. +. j. Forhan worked 26 years

Pyorrhea begins at the gum line

quietly, that you may have it gears
