HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 11.-A
bright picture of the banking situa-
ton was laid before President
Roosevelt today by Leo Crowley,
Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora
ton chairman, who reported "at no
time in the history of the country
has the number of bank failures
been so small as during the last
year"
"Only five small insured banks
have closed" he explained in let

The Coming American Boom

fuence on industry and prices, it is
foolish for Roosevelt's currency
critics to declare that his monetary
policy has already failed.
My point is, that since it takes a
considerable time-to get government
works under way, credit imitation is
only just about to become effective
as a recovery measure; while the
treasury has not used, in any way,
its most powerful weapon of all,
namely, pure note imitation. This
is a weapon which Roosevelt will
certainly keep up his sleeve but I
feel fairly sure he will not use it I'M
til the failure of all others is self
evident. The fact remains, however,
that resort to pure note imitation

- early this morning.
The mother, Mrs. Pearl Roberts,
20, of 1858 South Harding street, a
divorce, was one Of four young
women riding in small coupe when
it crashed into the canal at the I'M
marked end of Bell street. Her
three companions were rescued, but
Mrs. Roberts, caught beneath the
steering wheel, was drowned.
Death of Mrs. Roberts brought
the 1884 Marion county traffic toll
to ninety.
The three who escaped when Mrs.
Roberts was drowned are Miss Jane
Kelly, 20, of 346 North Walcott
street; Miss Alice King, 10, of 2602
East washington street, and Miss
Mary Lewis, 20, of 267 South Temple
avenue. They were assisted from
the car by Brooks Mellett, 1886 Bell
street, a witness.
Drove Borrowed Coupe
Mrs. Roberts, the ninth person to
be drowned in Marion county this
summer, had borrowed the coupe
from Henry Schoedel of the South
Harding street address, one of her
eleven brothers, to take her friends
for a ride.
Mrs. Roberts was the second wom-
an this year to lose her life in
motor car accident involving a
plunge into the canal at an Uppro-
tected dead-end street. Following
death of a Lebanon woman under
similar circumstances this spring,
many dead-end streets were marked
properly and guarded by posts.

She was standing in the safety

THERE are those who say that
u the Presidents policy of credit

proved a damp squib; this is largely
due to a misconception. Until early
in 1884, although there was much

at all.
