POSTAL SAVINGS
SHOW BIG DROP
Loss Of Is Millions in July Is
First Major Decline in
Several Years.

BY the Associated Press.
Postal savings deposits have taken
their first important drop since they
started up early in the depression
when bank failures began to frighten
depositors.
The preliminary July report Of the
post office shows a decline of about
s15,ooo,00O, bringing the total down
to about s1.189,6 100000. the lowest
since october. 1888.
For months the total had lowered
near the peak figure of S1,209, 00O,O 600,
attained at the end of 1888.
The July tabulation was completed
as Federal banking authorities pre-
pared for permanent insurance of
bank deposits up to $4,000 under the
recently approved bank bill.
One provision of the bill dealt spe-
officially with postal savings. AS re-
suit of complaints from private bank
ing quarters that postal savings in eff
feet were demand deposits, with in
terest payable to the date of with
drawal, the bill declared they should
be a savings deposit" with interest
to be paid on a quarterly basis.
Bankers held the provision would
save them from unfair competition"

The decline in the index last week
was due primarily to lower prices for
cotton and hogs. The break in cotton
prices followed the announcement of

result in a drop in the textiles index
from 67.7 to 66.3.

in hog prices together with lower quo
ations for corn, certain feedstuffs and
cattle, the grains, feeds and live stock
index registered a sharp drop follow.
ing an upturn which had lasted for
FIVE weeks A slight decline in the
fuel index was caused by lower fuel
oil prices.

MACHINE TRADE
MAINTAINS PACE
"Must" Orders Bring Gains
in Some Areas Despite
Seasonal Trend.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, August 27.-After the
five-year high set by machine tool
sales in July and with the machine
tool show at Cleveland, only two
weeks of, a recession in August had
been expected. In some parts of the
country, this stacking materialized
but other sections came through with
business equaling or lettering the July
level. according to the American Ma
chiniSt. The answer lies in must
orders from plants that need equip
ment now and of necessity have to
avoid the jam of orders the show
is expected to initiate.
New England, for instance, found
August the years best month with
prospects for a continuation of good
business through the Fail. The New
York district has noticed a tendency
to hold off, but even so, August kept
pace with July. Philadelphia had
a fair month";" the magazine con-
tinues
Some business in Pittsburgh, Gin
cinnati and Cleveland has been held
up by the coming show. Manufac-
turers, however, are well booked ahead
because of the active Summer buy
ing and look for a new influx of or
ders in the Fall. December and
January deliveries are currently
quoted.
STANDARD tooling for new model,
has been well taken care OF in De-
troit but a good volume of special
equipment s still to come. August
was very good month in the motor
city. Activity in Chicago continues
at high level with some dealers
reporting record sales
st. Louis was disappointed with
August sales, but anticipates stimu.
lus from post-show orders. The Pa
ctfic Coast on the other hand founc
business definitely improved and i,
greatly encouraged by developments

Reed Losing
Wartime Aspect

Walter Reed, Washington's
"city within a city," is gradually
losing it's wartime aspect as new
brick buildings of Georgian archi-
lecture replace the old wooden
structures hastily put up to &C
commodate the thousands of
wounded soldiers brought back
from overseas.
Magnificent brick buildings
costing millions of dollars are
set in deliberately Handicapped
grounds. Sweeping lawns, dotted
with bright flowers and fragrant
hedges, vie with stately shade
trees and lovely magnolias.
On bright, sunny days soldiers
in various stages of convalescence
crowd the long, winding concrete
walks. Nurses, their starched white
aprons rustling in the breeze,
hurry from one building to an
other, while doctors, very straight
in their olive drab uniforms, go
quietly about their tasks of relieV-
ing pain.
Built in 1909 after Congress had
appropriated the money for an
Army Hospital in the Nations
Capital, Walter Reed has grown
from few wooden Shacks into
one cf the three or four largest
and most efficient hospital units
in the United States.
About 1000 patients, military
and civilian, are constantly under
treatment. There are lis doctors,
al nurses and $40 enlisted men
of the Medical Corps who keep
the hospital functioning quietly
and efficiently. They belong to
the Dental Corps, Veterinary
Corps, Medical Administration
Corps, Medical Corps and Army
Nursing Corps.
The hospital has it's own phar-
macy, grocery, laundry, heating
plant and greenhouses.
At one time the hospital took
care of most of the veterans suf-
fering from permanent disabilities,
but following the. passage of the
economy act, they were sent to
other hospitals throughout the
country.
