LOAN ASSOCIATION
1892 LOSSES LIGHT
Assets of Largest Decreased
Only 5.8 Per Cent on
the Average.

CHICAGO, March 20 (P).-Assets of
the largest building and loan associations
in the Nation decreased by only So per
cent, on the average, during 1882, it
was reported today by H. F. Cellarius Of
Cincinnati. secretary-treasurer of the
United States Building and Loan League.
Based on January / financial state
ments just analyzed, this applies to SIS
associations with assets of more than
$10,000,000. and 81 other associations
with assets between $5,00O,0O0 and
$l0,O0O,000.
Decreases in assets Of associations in
the larger class averaged only SIS per
cent, Cellarius found, with an average
drop Of 63 per cent in associations Of
the $4,000, 900 to $4,000, 900 class.
Nine Show Increases.
Despite unfavorable business condi-
tions, nine associations during 1882
showed increases in assets ranging from
The LAG associations in these two
groups comprise approximately $l,657,-
10000 of the total building and loan
assets Of the country as Of January l."
said Cellarius.
This group decreased only $101.-
b42,826 in 1882, practically all Of this
amount being paid out in small sums
to shareholders who had saved for
rainy day, and found the associations
able to render this service when the
critical hour came"
The percentage Of decrease in assets
among these larger associations, Gel
larius believes, is likely to be greater
than the drop in smaller associations,
on which complete statistics are not
yet available.
Influx Of New Money.
"It must always be borne In mind"
he said, that with the large turnover
Of money which associations effect In a
period Of stress-particularly IN the
form of savings paid back to the needy
investor-there must be a considerable
influx Of new money to keep total assets
up to their old level.
1T was estimated three months ago
that nearly one-third of all associations
assets were involved in some kind of
turnover In cash paid out, mortgage
loans made, or dividends paid out, last
year.
Since the larger associations, for
which we are reporting now, showed
only minor decreases in their total re-
sources, it is plain that most of their
shareholders continued to save, and
also that many we're starting to invest
their money for the first time In these
associations in 1882"

ture audience.
More than that, it Is no secret
that the West Coast impresarios are
hugely anxious to transplant Allen
Corn" to celluloid soil. With or
without Miss Cornell this drama will
be done on the screen, and the ques-
ton now remains which company
will outbid the others for its rights.
Six major film companies df
there are six left) are said to be
angling for it, And as many, If not
more, stars are being presented as
likely candidates for the Cornell role.
Among the ladies who, according to
Ray Henderson, may undertake the
role are Norma Shearer, Katharine
Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Marlene
Dietrich, Ann Harding and Barbara
Stanwyck.
There are a great many reasons
why some Of these should play the
Cornell role, and great many rea-
sons why they should not. Without
more ado we should strike Miss
Stanwyck, Ann Harding and Mar
lene Dietrich off the hst-not be-
cause they are not forceful artists
in their own sphere. fair of face and
gallant Of action, but because they
could never suggest that haunting
something or other which is the
main asset Of the role and me-
dium which Miss Cornell can make
the most of.
The reason for suggesting Kath-
arine Hepburn Is not too clear either.
In "Christopher Strong" it is said
that she strikes home even more
surely than she did in Bill Of
Divorcement" and that her hearty
voice and easy manner are even
more effective than they were be-
FORE Nevertheless, while she is be-
coming a major player and pleas

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt headed
the list Of patronesses for the per-
formance and was present with a

MISFITS IN COLLEGE

The growing idea that large percent
age of young men now in college would be
better off elsewhere was emphasized by no
less an authority than Chief Justice Charles
e. Hughes, in an address at Brown Univer-
sity, from which he was graduated in 1881.
He roundly criticized the many mod
ern college activities which have nothing to
do with education, and which attract the
mental loafers whose only ambition is to
get by. and obtain diploma. Referring
to such student, Mr.. Hughes said: az
should take him out at once and tell him to
make his own way. Those who are not
disposed to.make good use of their college
years would be better off elsewhere.
Neither Mr.. Hughes nor any other sem
sible person would disparage the value of
a college education, but the fact is that our
colleges are encountered with many stu
dents who have neither the capacity, the
energy nor the ambition to profit by college
training.

ACCEPTING oNE-sIDED STORIES
(Bradenton Herald)

Another escaped prisoner, James A.
LaRue, has returned to his home in the
north to tell his story of the alleged afro
cities to which Florida convicts are sub
jected-and is being believed, so much
that Chicago judge has promiser him
"every break in the world in order to
avoid being extradited by the Florida au-
thOrities
We wouldn't presume to say what
kind of treatment the prisoner received
during the brief part of his five year sem
tence that was served but are satisfied
that whatever it was it fit his case, that if
his punishment was severe that his conduct
was responsible. Of course, there are ex-
ceptions, like the Mallifert case, which
have been more soundly condemned within
the state than outside it, which would show,
If reason were employed, how utterly fool
ish it is to believe the story of every es-
capped prisoner. We haven't enough guards
to inflict the punishment that has been al
legged il they did nothing else but use Simon
Legree whips.
Surely the Judge in the LaRue case
would not have the public think he be-
lieves an individual seeking to avoid extra
dition to avoid service of penal sentence
would give all the facts in the case His
admission that he broke into a Dade
county dwelling "for curiosity shows law
to have been violated. His story was that
he intended no violation by his conduct, but
that, it should be realized, is his story and
certainly breaking into a home is queer
way to harmlessly amuse ones self. But,
because the Judge who heard his story has
a son who once became involved in trouble
in the state, he is willing to believe any
thing the escaped convict says, suggesting
q queerness of the judicial mind that is not
readily understood since we insist that adj
ministered justice must flow through such
channels as these. There is little wonder at
the growing desire of the public to admins
ter its own justice when the law is trans
crossed.
Anyone familiar with Florida justice
and acquainted with the pardon boards at
titude on appeals for clemency must reali-
ize how utterly nonsensical are such stories
as that told by LaRue for if ever prisoners
were pampered and coddled it is in Florida.
With q record showing that no man has
ever served more than sixteen years for
any offense committed in the state, al
though life terms have been frequently i'm
posed, we are frequently charged with the
inhuman treatment of prisoners. The two
conditions just don't jibe.
