CHICAGO, Sept 15-Getung out of the banking business is easy.
Bankers quit banking for the san reason people get out of any other
bustness-lack of profits. These two chief facts were revealed today to
explain the unusual news dispatches the other day reporting that the
solvent sixty-Third and Halsted Savings bank of Chicago was going out
of business.
c. H Defining, president of the bank. which for twenty years has
served a busy neighborhood center of stores and theaters and offices
as we'll as the surrounding area of solid middle class homes, was terSe.
Please come and get your money out of here-qucky" he said in
effect to his 5000 depositors. He added that people could not make
money in banking under todays conditions, and intimated that he was
sick of it all.
State Examiner Puzzled
A. A. Mueller, chief state examiner of banks, was puzzled at the in
tereSt in the banks action.
Bankers just go out of business like anybody else" he said, and 1
can't think OF any place where it's against the law for a banker to tell
his depostors he wants to pay them of in full and then proceed to do So"
There have been signs of other bankers not liking the banking bust
peSs in Chicago. One such offered all depostors with less than 500
accounts a fountain pen each to close out their accounts.
Mueller was asked why bankers can't make money these days. He
grinned.
Commercial paper is at about one-haf of l per cent now. Over
head and operating costs in banking are at least 2 per cent. Now, you
figure it out"
Little Explanation Made
A trip to the HaBted bank showed some Illuminating things, though
brought little in explanation from President Defining Il can't go into
that" he said when asked if his remarks about the impossibIiy of max
ing money in banking under present conditions were to be interpreted as
a rap at the New Deal.
I've said all 1 can. That is that there's no money in the banking
business the way things are now. Our lease has expired and we're get
ting out of the banking business. We're not in any involved deals and
that makes it easier"

Labor Trouble Feared

Meanwhile. the textile strike de-
velOped into a series of riots in va
riOus sections. Wall Street does not
sell on strike news, but in this in
stance, it believed more labor trou-
bles might develop, thus tying up
business and preventing the hoped
for autumn recovery. RumOrs we're
circulated that capital would seek
a showdown with labor.
Traders we're %perturbed with the
attitude Of the securities and ex-
change commission. which takes
over control of the stock markets
after the end Of this month. 1t was
limited the commission planned dras-
tic restrictions on operations of
specialists and floor traders which,
many believed. would seriously i'm
pair the liquidity of the market.

News Not Cheering

Business news was not cheering
either. Retail trade had a little lift
here and there aided by government
dOles in various sections: building
rose somewhat on government
contracts: automobile output was
a little better and so a steel pro-
ductiOn. but neither made anything
like the seasonal rise TO which they
are entitled at this time; car load
ings made a greater than seasonal
decline; electricity output also was
more than seasOnably lower.
Added TO the foregoing were
wide declines in all the grains, a
drop Of $50 a bale in cotton, and
weakness in nearly all other COM
mOditieS. The United Press-Dun g.
Bradstreet daily commodity price
index fell more than ? points on
the week.

all the things that are being done
in the name of the New Deal to
admit that the general run of men
and women this year have more
money to spend for Christmas than
they have had for the last two or
three years. Retail merchants are
reporting heavier. Christmas trade,
setting in earlier, than for a long
time past.
The custom of general giving at
Christmas time is a comparatively
recent one. Less than a hundred
years ago Christmas was exclusively
for the children, SO far as gifts
went. Today. those are few who
do not share the holiday spirit Of
making presents, if nothing more
than a Christmas card, to a wide
range of friends and acquaintance.
This year, more than ever be-
fore, in spite of the wider distribu-
ton of money in the pockets of the
people of the United States, there
is need of Christmas giving to help
those who otherwise would have to
fall back upon Government for re-
lief of their needs. Any one who
has not given to the Red Gross, the
Salvation Army, the local charity
organizations, whether of his
church or otherwise, seems to us to
have been overlooking the true
spirit of Christmas giving.
Every dollar given for such pur-
poses does double duty. 1t blesses
him that gives and him that takes.
And there is a very real reason for
making as generous contributions
as ones purse will permit for these
charitable ends. The tendency to
"let Uncle Sam do it" is, we think,
becoming altogether too wide
spread. 1t is time that we resum-
ed the duty Of looking after our
own unfortunate and distressed, as
we have always done in the past.
We shall never rebuild the morale
of our people until we get back,
as well as we can, to the principles
of self help.

For the sort of intensive agricul-
ture which pays in the East, the
quality of the land is of less i'm
portance than in the corn and
wheat regions. Some of the best
truck farms | know are almost pure
sand, with only enough humus in
the soil to keep it from blowing
away. Intensive fertilization and
irrigation do the trick.
I am more firmly convinced than
ever that New England could sup

gestion that we might take the de-
faulted bonds Of states that tried

of interest here. That. would be
