To the Editor Of The Star:
Having noted Mr. Joy Elmer Nor
gans attack on service charges for
checking accounts in your columns,
the writer begs an opportunity to
come to the support of this banking
policy, for every one Of Mr. Morgan's
six points against these charges seems
quite untenable.
Just why it is supposed that money
on deposit is frozen" and out of
use Is difficult to comprehend. OF
what advantage could such balances
be to the bank If they were not loaned
out at q profit and therefore in &C
tive use? And why should the funds
Of large depositors be penalized by
making them carry the expense Of a
lot of small checking accounts? In
antithesis to the notion that charges
for checking service discourage saw
ings, 1t would appear that they put
a premium on savings that really are
savings and so encourage the develop
ment Of large deposits from which
funds may be drawn for lending at in
terest or for use in investment or
home building. Just what an honest
depositor would gain from delaying
the payment Of bills Is also difficult
to understand. Charges for short
accounts prevent such careless prac-
tices from developing into an expense
upon legitimate business. The small
merchant, too, does most Of his busi-
ness on a cash basis and often does
not accept checks.
In fine, Mr.. Morgan fails to dis
tinguish adequately between savings
and checking accounts and therefore
fails to see that confidence is not
to be built by system of banking that
offers something for nothing. On the
contrary, a checking service that Is
"free' is sure to have a screw loose
somewhere. Indeed, in the minds
of many serious thinkers on the sub
ject of money and banking it Is the
practice of lending from demand de-
posits instead of making q direct serv-
ice charge which is responsible for
our disastrous cycles Of boom and de-
preston arising from the uncertainties
which such a practice causes in the
value Of money.
ALDEN A. POTTER.
To the Editor of The Star:
The views expressed by Joy Elmer
Morgan on page A-10 Of The Star Of
November 8 under the heading
Banks Deposit Charges Work Serious
Hardships," in my opinion are worthy
of serious consideration by the bankers
who really think.
1t is commonly said that "Old Iron
sides" was rebuilt for the most part
by the pennies of school or Sunday
school children. I believe it to be
highly doubtful If this single worthy
achievement would have been ac-
complished in the time that it was
had the present system of soaking the
small depositor prevailed throughout
those years Of accumulating these
small savings.
In my humble opinion 1t
certainly speaks little for our large
District banking institutions and busi-
ness concerns which handle the great
bulk Of the Federal pay roll revenues
as we'll as revenues from private busi-
ness, that our banks must resort to
such expedient as to levy upon these
small bank accounts.
Some, not all, of our large banking
houses. make q nat charge Of 81 per

amount on 'deposit during the month

Recent research has thrown much

Eleventh B. c. Formerly, the earlI-

About 1899 an event occurred
which started new trail of Investl-

bank, some two miles northwest Of
An-Yang In northern Honan. which
brought to light numerous inscribed
fragments of bone and tortoise
shell. These were collected by peas

Ing into the hands of high official
In Pelping.
His collection was sold, and from
this and other collections thou
sand fragments were chosen and
published In 1903 through the me-

of the subject has grown rapidly TIL

show that the Chinese then con-
suited their ancestors for the details

agency was the scorching of bones

the answer. 1t can be inferred that

Scientific exploration In China
dates from 1920 when DR.. ]. G.

to excavate prehistoric deposits In

The first organized field investiga-

Why is it that fine natural min

Water Crystals has benefited SC
many thousands suffering from "rheu-

ments?
DR.. w. E. Fitch, noted medical
authority on mineral water, in re-
cent radio talk over the National
Broadcasting System stated:
For many years, 2it has been a mys-
terry even to the medical world just
how natural mineral waters produced
the amazing results that have made
them so popular. Scientific and medi-
cal discoveries and research in the
last few years, however, are pcnetrat-
ing these secrets of Nature, so that
now medical men have new under
standing of the reasons for the power
of natural mineral water to relieve
suffering. One of these reasons IS
what Is known as secondary mineral
ization, by which is meant that not
only the predominating chemical con-
stituents of mineral water are Of
aid but also what are known as the
secondary minerals-those present in
infnitesimal quantities. The very fact
of their being present in this way
causes them to have q much more
powerful systemic effect than il they
were there in larger quantities. Let
me recommend wholehcartedly to suf-
fcrers from chronic diseases the use

BLUEGE HAS GLASSES NOW

Warrington, April l6.-(F-The
first section Of Baseball Major League
Limited pulled out Of the American
League yards Monday on the long
1884 run. with the Washington Sena-
tors, as BELTS champions, In the driv-
ers' seats, the Boston Red Sox belli-
gerent passengers, and President
Roosevelt the chief guest Of honor IN
the observation car.
It's an old baseball custom, this
dispatching Of the pennant train IN
two sections every other year so that
here In the nations capital may be
concentrated for one day all the pomp
and ceremony Of an Inauguration.
All In Action Tuesday
Tuesday the remainder of the
American League clubs, and all eight
OF the National League teams, take
up the pursuit race that will roar
through the summer months down to
another world series climax in the
fall.
Even though there was threat of
showers to mar the festivities, crowd
OF between 10000 and $4,000 was ex-
pected to see Earl Whitehill, the left
handed veteran who alone stopped
the Giants, attempt to start the Sen
ators on another winning way after
the customary march Of players and
officials to the flag pole, the usual
presidential wild pitch Of the first
ball, and the general photographing
and visiting around of baseball dig
nitaries, headed by the league presi-
dent, william Harridge.
In the normal course OF events, the
Senators expected to face another
great left-hander Monday, Robert
Moses Grove, but the head man in
the Boston rejuvenation still Is SUI
fering from quaint ailment, a tooth
ache In his pitching arm.
Weiland May Play
Another southpaw. Bob Weiland,
probably will sub for him with Rick
Terrell catching him. Moe Berg, re-
placing injured Luke Sewell, will
work behind the bat for Washington.
Otherwise the champions look exact
" as they did in 1888. except that
