IMPROVED BANK

100000 in Losses Written
Off by Institutions.

Interpreting the figures as showing
q vast improvement In the banking
structure of the country, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp. today mad
sumed up for Congress the results OF
the first year of deposit insurance.

operations for 1884 the corporation

tion Finance Corp.
Increase in Assets Cited.
Despite this the banks assets rose
from s40.6l0 000, 900 to S47.370, 600. 900
during the year and deposits increased
from s3l 800, 900 900 to approximately
s3e 100000 900.
1t was brought out also that the
percentage of doubtful and worth
less" assets of insured commercial
banks not members of the Federal
Reserve System had been reduced
from los per cent of the whole to 6.5
per cent.
When deposit insurance went into
effect on January /, 1884, there We're
1856 insured State non member banks
with total assets of $3.50 599,000 of
which S582. 2.777,000 were labeled as
worthless and doubtful" by examin-
ers. At the latest check-up these in
stitutions had raised their assets to
s6.034, ,584 900. of which only $685.
100000 was listed as worthless and
doubtful. Correspondingly, worthless"
assets. as distinguished from doubt

In SO Per Cent of Banks.
The F. D. l. c. now has a direct
financial responsibility in SO per cent
OF all the licensed commercial banks
in the country. With insurance COW
ering deposits up to $4,000 as against
$4,000 previously, the liability of the
corporation for insured deposits has
gone from $40, $40 900 900 to s16,640,-
100000
The corporation said banks had
purchased more than $4,000, ,000, 900 in
Government obligations during the
year. and that this brought one-half
of the growth of bank deposits. An
other fourth was caused by Treasury
purchases of gold and silver
There were nine suspensions in 1934,

other causes as bad management and
insufficient business.
While emphasizing that the aim Of
the F. D. I. c. is sound operation Of

that deposit insurance Is mot COM
plete remedy for the ills of the bank
ing system" nor for unstable business

conditions and monetary and credit

In speaking Of safety we do not
eonfine our attention TO the actions
of the drivers. True it is that they
should be careful, but there is an add
ed responsibility resting with the pc
destrian. Complete safety will result
only when the driver and the pedes-
trian have reached state Of full co.
operation.
Co-operation will exist when each
has the proper consideration for the
rights and capacities Of the other. How
often do we find examples Of drivers
who firmly believe that the pedestrian
Is a solemn curse on their existence?
How often do we find pedestrians who
believe that drivers are continually
bent on murder? Naturally, when
such attitudes as these exist We find
evidence of very poor cooperation,
whereas, if each were to put himself
into the position of the other fellow
with an idea to helping him, we
should find a resultant tendency to-
ward greater safety. The driver or
the pedestrian who does this very
simple feat will find that In the long
run he is not only helping the other
fellow but himself as well.
Let us first look at the operator IN
action. How often do we find him
turning a corner faster than caution
dictates? Suppose, as he does so, he
should be faced with an elderly per-
son or one who has some difficulty in
I'D frcf JrnYNIIlGa iC tn lam
on the brakes df he has any to stop
his car as quickly as possible. Modern
braking equipment and design has
increased the possibility of rear end
collisions. OF course, the driver at all
time should keep his distance from the
car ahead of him in proportion to his
speed and the driving conditions. but
these are actual problems and we
have to face them as they occur In
the everyday life of Washington
traffic.
Suppose, on the other hand, that
the operator is able to see this Grip
pied or feeble person ahead OF time
His first impulse Is to sound his horn
as a warning. Under ordinary circum-
stances perhaps that is sufficient
However. experience has shown that
there is a danger in these exceptional
cases wherein this type Of pedestrian
may become terror stricken. If caught
sufficiently unawares there may even
be an action upon the heart-others
respond to their terror by becoming
apparently transfixed. Here again we
must appeal to the driver to put him.
self into the position Of the poor fell
low crossing the street. Perhaps this
is somebody's mother or dad who is
returning home after a hard days
work and they are physically unable
to move very rapidly.
The pedestrian has the right Of way
when crossing the street with the
protection Of the lights. If he wishes
to cross. then it Is his duty to wait
for the light; at the same time it is
the duty of the driver to wait until
the light allows him to advance be-
fore setting his vehicle In motion.
Trouble often starts when either the
pedestrian or the driver contemplate
the change in lights and each tries
to sneak IN on the other Why not
try to be sports about it and wait
your turn-after all, is it too great a
demand to ask you to wait a half
minute at a street intersection rather
than spend half a year recovering
from the results Of an accident?
