This percentage gain is nearly double that registered year ago over the year closing June 30, 1883, which was 2.4 per cent, w. Espey Albig, Deputy Manager of the as- sociatioh in charge of the division says in analysing the returns.
 "The gain, which is general throughout the United States, amounts to $899, 1878, 9,O0O," says MT. Albig. "In only eight states is & loss shown. Thus, in two successive years savings in banks have in- creased. They now stand at $22.- 652, ,459,000, about one-half billion dollars less than 10 years ago (1925) and almost six billion dollars be- low the high point of 1930."
 Notable Increase
 The increase in all classes of in- dividual deposits is notable, rising from$37, ,983, ,726,000 a year ago to $41, ,721, ,194.000 as of June 29, 1925, he says, adding:
 'This is an increase in volume of 8, 737, ,468,000, or gain of 9.8 per cent. Thus the savings increase claims only one-fourth of the gain in individual deposits. The rest is found among the demand deposits.
 ''The greatest percentage of gain in savings deposits for the past year is shown in the east central states, the southern states and the Pacific states, in the order named.
 During the year banking. was in a process of restabilizing itself. The gains shown in many sections may be regarded as proof of stabilized banking conditions which called money from unaccustomed places.
 Enormous spending for the bene- fit of the unemployed has caused many persons to forget that three quarters of the normal employable are at work. Among their normal practices is that of being provident and putting aside a part of their earnings for a com- potency"
 Many New Depositors
 A most satisfactory development during the year is the gain in sav- ings depositors, amounting to 1,753,- O32, MT. Albig says, "an increase in which every state except five par ticipated." The gain is due to great er confidence in banks and in- creased earnings by the people, he says, adding:
 "The number of depositors, 4i,- 315, ,206, or 32.7 per cent of the population of the United States, is yet almost 12 million below the high point reached in 1928, when a4.3 per cent of the inhabitants were represented by savings ac-

One of the boys, Charles, wants to be priest. Joe, 9, and Victor, 18, are amateur boxing stars. Their 17-year-old sister hopes to be a nurse. The father would like two of his daughters to be nuns, but the girls will decide that later for themselves.
 "It's the parents attitude" Mrs. Bagnato thinks, that makes the home." The Bagnatos keep together closely. Every night the married daughters telephone their parents. And every Sunday the entire family has dinner together. The married ones bring husbands and wives; all the grandchildren are present. It makes quite a houseful!

CZECHOSLOVAKIA was only a N diffusion of subject states un- der Austrian rule, up to the World War, when Prof. Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, great Slovak scholar and patriot, began his un. tiring campaign to make a single nation of his people. He led to the organization of Czech prison- CTS in Russia into a legion that started on an arduous 5000 mile trek across Siberia with the idea of sailing on around the globe and fighting on the western front.
 In danger of his life, he toured the allied countries and finally came to the United States where he directed his campaign for the liberation of his people and the formation of a Czech nation. His efforts were recognized by the Allies, and Czechoslovakia was sliced out of Austria-Hungary by the Treaty of Versailles. Masaryk then became the new country's

 Toronto, Ont, Oct. 30.-When the stork pays his expected visit to Mrs. Grace Bagnato within a few months, it will be the 24th trip.
 No mother in the $500,000 Toron- to Baby Derby-that is, none en- tered to date-has such record. No other woman in the race is a grandmother.
 Mrs. Bagnato, A, was Oracle Genovese before her marriage. She grew up in Toronto, where her mother and brothers still live. Oracle was a bright girl, worked hard at home and at school, and always received high grades on her report cards.
 The year she was B, when Christmas holidays came around, Oracle said goodby to her teacher and schoolmates and went home. She never returned; instead, she was married.
 Oracle didn't know her bride groom, Joseph Bagnato, 2l, recent ly arrived from Italy. She had seen him only once. The marriage, according to the Italian custom, was arranged by her parents.
 Babies Come Regularly
 Every year since-with the excep- ton of four-there has been new baby in the Bagnato home. There are no twins or triplets among Mrs. Bagnato's g. Nine of them have been born since Oct. 31, 1926, start ing date for the $50O,000 Baby Der by established by Charles Vance Millar, who died leaving the bulk of his estate to the Toronto mother bearing the largest number of children within 10 years of his death.
 Other mothers in Toronto have had nine children, born in the last nine years. -
 But some of these others, Mrs. Bagnato says, have failed to regis ter their children properly at the Bureau of Vital Statistics. All Mrs. Bagnatos children are registered, though only four of the nine born since 1926 are living. The oldest of the Bagnato brood is 28. The young est is baby Paul, 10 months.
 Thirteen, though, is too young for a girl to marry. Mrs. Bagnato, tuha chOII1d kpnu ah0,lt thic ui11 not tell you, out-and-out, that she regrets her early marriage. She does say, T wish I could have gone to school longer"
 Acts as Court Interpreter
 Lack of schooling hasn't con- fined her to a domestic life. For 20 years she has been a court inter- preter, explaining to puzzled, non- English-speaking Italians why they are in difficulties in the Toronto courts, telling, in words they lack, their stories to the judge.
 Some of the legal cases she has worked on have been important ones, even involving murder. Mrs. Bagnato has made trips to Mon- treal and New York.
 She became an interpreter by chance. A man had been arrested who could not speak English. Some one at the courthouse knew Mrs. Bagnato and asked her to come down. After that they called on her freuuently.

 The youthful Bagnatos go at the bath ritual with military precision Each takes his turn. For the small CT ones there is inspection-ears, back of the neck, elbows. All Il must be scrubbed and shining, ready to go to church Sunday morning.
 The Bagnato family attends church in two shifts. The smaller children go to g o'clock mass, the older ones at 10.
 Mrs. Bagnato was a Presbyterian before her marriage, but the young sters go with their father to the Catholic church.
 My husband is a good-living man." Mrs. Bagnato asserts. "Very strict about religious observance"

Although it's bit late now to recommend any ride for the beautiful foliage to be seen don't hesitate tonight to suggest Sunday weekday ride that probably is to good many Waterburians. Take the familiar Danbury road as far Newtown Bear left around the agpoe here and then take the right hand road for Bethel and Danbury Continue along this until Route 58 intersects out side Bethel where left turn is made This road will take you past Putnam state park which has been developed beautifully by the state Shortly take Route 250 by right hand turn passing through Bedding. Eventually this route number becomes 53 and leads into picturesque Georgetown, where a right hand road winds in and around factory and to the S.

To Keep En- Well

NOWADAYS IT is an accepted
/ fact that trees and plants. breathe
through their foliage. The leaves
have pores. and If these pores are
not able 10 function properly, the
tree is hampered in its struggle for
existence and finally succumbs.
This is particularly true Of ever
greens. They are most susceptible
to "clogged pores" for they do not
change their leaves as often as decid-
uous trees. and therefore the leaves
become more chOked each year.
When smoke is dense more damage
may come from the coating of SCOT
on the leaves than from the gases
accompanying the smoke. The smoke.
dust and chemical fumes in some of
our cities and factory towns makes
4 almost impossible to have even
deciduous trees. The American Elm,
Ash and Sycamore seem TO survive
the best under these conditions.
The one evergreen family that
seems to be contrary and survive
despite smoke is the Juniper. The
pines and frs suffer severely so that
even in our less polluted sections
they should be washed frequently
Spray your evergreens with the
hose during the cooler hours Of the
day. If a strong stream of water is
Used the undersides Of the leaves as
well as the tops are washed. This
keeps the evergreens free of red
spider These little mites lurk on the
underside of the leaves and the
strong spray washes them off and
