Prominent Writer Refutes
Statements Bankers Are Re-
fusing Sound Loans - De-
scribes Reasons for Reduced
Volume of Credit.

FIGURES supplied by typical, we'll
4 managed banks in different parts OF
the country show that high proper
ton of all applications for loans have
been granted in the past year or two.
says Albert W. Atwood in recent arti
Gle in The Saturday Evening Post on
1.-THE Idle Dollar" Excerpts from Mr.
Atwood's article follow:
Frequently banks state that as nigh
as 80 per cent of all such applications
are granted and for from 81 to 70 pei
cent of the amount asked for. Allow
ing that the bankers make these figures
as favorable to their own case as pos
sible, it seems strange that we are told
again and again that banks are not
lending at all.
"If we take into account the whole
class of regular bank borrowers. the
plain fact is very few want to borrow
vet. For the word 'torrow' is merely an
other name for the word debt. anG we
face a great worldwide drive to get out

enough. wisely replied: The really
good borrower does not wish to borrow
now. In fact. think our customers are
making a remarkably fine showing in
paying off their loans. especially loans
of long standing.
The Shrinkaee of Credit
"Or if we think of business concerns
rather than of individuals. it is con
sentative to say that those able to main
tain high credit ratings have been most
~ the ones able to maintain ample cash
resources and. therefore. least in need
of credit. AS prices and costs fell. many
concerns found themselves with plenty
of cash because of the shrinkage IN
operations. Cash resources were still
further swollen by reduced dividends.
and smaller inventories made bank Dor
rowing still less necessary
Expressed in another way. banks
cannot expand credit. they cannot make
loans. unless there is demand for the
same. Fundamentally. the business
transaction makes the loan. the loan
does not make the transaction. II is
mistake to try to force upon business
organizations funds which they do not
need. Under the circumstances the
idle dollar is a natural and proper
enough phenomenon. A demand foI
credit is difficult to create artiticially
and there is always danger in so doing
Banks must be liquid enough at all
times to pay depositors The idea OF a
commercial loan is that it represents q
self-liquidating process in business Ii
the banker makes only those advances
that are inherently sound. and selects
his maturities wisely. he will have in
coming funds to meet demands.

every local and long distance call is
inaagurated by these two words -
spoken by a woman.
More eloquently than bare statistics,
says the Bell Telephone Quarterly,
these two words bear testimony to
the fact that women play an essential
part in the provision of telephone
service. If that part were played one
whit less intelligently, efficiently and
loyalty than it is by the 100000 Bell
System women who are engaged in
one form or another of telephone
work, Americas nationwide telephone
service could not be what it is today.
This much is a fact universally ac-
cepted by all who know even a little
of what goes on behind the scenes of
this communication system which
links nations millions of people and
makes them neighbors. Perhaps it is
a fact that has become altogether too
easily accepted that it is taken as a
matter Of course.

fore it behooves the banker to bend
every effort to create better public
understanding of sound banking and
thereby bring about that united effort
and cooperative spirit which will has,
ten the day of national recovery and
restore to the banker the confidence
of the public to which he is entitled.
AS an approach to the realization OF
this ideal. bankers should carefully
scrutinize every application for loan
to see If 1t is bankable and. II 1t is
not in bankable form. then make fur.
Their examination to see if the loan can
be made so, IN order that the uses Of
credit may be stimulated.
Explaining Loas Factors to Customers
We must not expect our customers to
be bankers and understand all the fac.
tors which we must consider before
granting loan. II we find that loan
Is not, and cannot be made. bankable.
then l thin we should take pains to
explain to the applicant the reasons
why it cannot be granted.
There are other measures which /
think it important for the banker to
undertake in order to eliminate the
misunderstanding which have arisen
and overcome the sentiment which
exists. Under present conditions we
have to operate under many laws and
regulations. and also watch what fur.
Their legislation is being proposed which
affects our methods of operation and

HEAETH DEPT.
ADVISES LABEL
FOR PROTECTION

Housekeepers who are replenishing
their supplies of furniture, pillows,
and bedding for the summer, are ad-
vised by DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health to
look for the Maryland label, showing
that the articles meet the require
ments of the State Bedding Law, be-
fore they make their purchases.
"Our State Bedding Law" DR.. Riley
said, "closely parallels the Food and
Drug Laws in requiring the accurate
labelling of articles put up for sale.
The bedding labels must show wheth-
er or not the material used in filling
mattresses, pillows, comforts, quilted
pads, other articles of bedding and up
holstered furniture displayed for sale,
is new or second hand. The labels
must also state the kind of filling
used. If any second hand material
is used, it must be sterilized and disin-
fected before it is offered for sale and
the finished article must be duly tag
ged to show this has been done.
Constant vigilance and frequent
inspections of stock offered for sale
are required to protect prospective pur
chasers from buying mislabeled or I'M
steriliZed products. Pillows, mattress
es, and upholstered furniture, falsely
labeled, as to contents, and containing
second hand material that had not
been sterilized, were discovered in a
recent inspection of articles offered
for sale. The manufacturer was
charged with the offense and was CIV
en- a hearing before the local magis-
trate. He was found guilty and fined
$50 and costs on five charges. The
case was prosecuted for the State De-
partment of Health, which is entrust-
ed with the administration of the
Bedding Law, by J. Davis Donovan,
Chief of the Division of Legal Admin
istration and his assistants, Frank J.
Anderton and Henry F. Sullivan
Frequent inspections of manufac-
turing plants, warehouses, jobbing
concerns, auction rooms, second hand
stores and retail establishments are
made in carrying out the provisions of
the State Bedding Law. Articles that
meet the sanitary requirements are
tagged with a special label and can be
easily recognized: Stamps attached
h +La lob 81, @Lo% %la al
have been inspected and conform to
the regulations. These stamps are
supplied by the State Department of
Health.
"Over 100000 of the Bedding Law
stamps were issued to manufacturers
last year. The law applies to pro-
ducts that are manufactured outside
of Maryland, but are offered for sale
in this State. as well as to those made
in Maryland. The largest number of
stamps issued to any one state-265,-
0OO-went to Maryland concerns.
Over 500, 900 stamps, or &c per cent of
the total output, were issued to firms
outside of Maryland. Twenty-Five
states and the District of Columbia
were represented by these concerns.
"Over 1000 articles that failed in
some way to comply with the require
ments of the law were discovered in
the course of the inspection. Sale was
prohibited and the majority were re- !
quired to be returned to the manu-
facturers."

NEW DEAL SCORED
BY M. {. BISHOPS
"Smothered" Amendment to
Stop Alien Representa-
tion, Is Charge.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Three Methodist bishops today
charged the New Deal had "smoth-
cred" a "stop-alien representation"
amendment to the Constitution, ana
called on their ministers to cooperate
with the American Christian Alliance
in an effort to defeat allen con-
epiracies."
The bishops, Edwin H. Hughes OF
Washington, A. w. Leonard of Pitts
burgh and E. G. Richardson of Phila-
delphia, asserted in a statement that
the proposed alien representation
amendment supplies an effective
basis for breaking down alien control
of American politics, while aftording
O conclusive acid test of the sincerity
Of the patriotic American professions
of all public officials"
Origin of Amendment.
They credited the Christian Al
lance, o: which William H. Anderson
is general chairman, with originating
the amendment, and said:
For obvious reasons, we cannot
assume the responsibility for details
of its campaigns, nor for the utter
ances of its leadership. Yet, on the
strength of its record so far, we rec
ommend that our pastors cooperate
practically and heartily with the
American Christian Alliance in arous-
ing moral consciousness on fair,
sane, honest, constructive, Christian
basis in order to defeat all secret,
subversive, alien conspiracies against
the common good"
The alien representation amend
fnent would exclude aliens from the
census count in apportioning each
States representation in Congress.
It has been introduced in both SEN
ate. and House on number of occa-
sions.
A bill by Representative Tarver,
Democrat, of Georgia, is now pending
before the House Judiciary Committee,
which has never held hearings on it.
Senator Capper, Republican, of Kans-
as, introduced a similar amendment
on January 81, 1884. 1t is pending be-
fore the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Proof of Effects.
The bishops said the amendment
snakes it possible to compel our rep
resentativeS to prove whether the re-
peal of prohibition was, as is claimed,
an attempt to promote the general well
fare, or was deliberate assistance to an
alien influence in subtle effort to de-
feat and discredit the Christian forces
of the Nation"
The Christian Alliance, they as
serted, Originated and developed this
amendment and made it an issue by
securing two-to-one favorable report
by the entire House Judiciary Com
mittee in the two Congresses, one Re-
publican and one Democratic, imme-
diately preceding the New Deal, under
which it is now being smothered in
committee.
LAS the agency primarily concerned
with restoring and preserving the
moral influence of our best citizenship,
1t deserves commendation for conduct
ing its non-political campaign without
attacking the faith of any person or
otherwise invoking bigotry or intoler-
ance."
In their statement, the bishops said
they were charged with general super
intendency "of practically all' OF the
Methodist churches in the State of
Pennsylvania, which as our second
largest commonwealth will have a
great influence in determining the
preservation of the Constitution with
its guarantee of freedom of worship"
