the public, A. G.. Brown, preSi-
dent, Ohio Citizens Trust Com
pany, Toledo, Ohio, said here to-
day in addressing the southern
conference on banking service,
held under the auspices of the
American Bankers Association.
Robert v. Fleming, president Of
the association, presided at the
meeting. Mr.. Brown added:
''It may be that we have
reached q point where we are
facing a demand for different
types Of credit than we have
heretofore been accustomed to.
Certainly the small volume Of
ShOrt-term credit, as compared
with the large volume Of long
term credit would indicate the
existence Of q very different
type Of d e m a n d from that
which has heretofore existed,
and the necessity for q change
in commercial banking as prac-
ticed today"
AS an example Of the willing
ness Of the bank to do this, Mr..
Brown cited the growing interest
in personal or character loan de-
partments, and the increasing
number of banks that are sue

D.C.NAW YARD
BEST, GUNS|GHT
EXPERT SAYS

When Henry Andree Joined the
boys" at the Washington Navy
Yard shortly after the sinking OF
the battleship Maine in the har-
Dor Of Havana, Cuba, the United
States Navy was just beginning
experimentation with sights for
its big guns.
Today the Navy Yards optical
shop and sight shop are highly
important units, but back in '98,
Andree reveals, lenses made by
private manufacturers were used
in the initial efforts to produce
efficient sighting mechanism.
SO proficient did Andree become
in the work that by 1904 he and
Bernard G. Laid, a fellow worker,
were sent to the Boston MaSSO
Navy Yard to install sights on
the new" battleship Maine. Later
the two were ordered by Truman
H. Newberry, then Acting Secre-
tary Of the Navy. to perform
similar duties on the battleShip
Kentucky at the Norfolk (VaO
Navy Yard and at several other
yards.
Although he labored in many
private machine shops before
joining the local gun factory in
1898, Andree declares:
81 have never seen any bet
ter work than that at the Navy
Yard"
Reminiscing today in his home
at 1874 E st. S. E., Andree re-
called the occasion when he
asked an expert lens maker about
his work, after the optical shop
had been established during the
World War.
The lens maker revealed many
secrets of his trade. especially
the ticklish job of polishing
lenses. The expert finally ad-
mitted. Andree said today. that
the only known method If achiev-
ing the final, touches in polish
ing a lens was to rub it on the
elbow.
Andree, who is now IA years
old, became an apprentice ma
chinist in the Mt. Clare shops
Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road in 1880, after trying his
hand unSuccessfully at other
trades. After 18 years with rail-
roads and private machine shops,
he went to the Navy Yard here.
He was retired on October 10,
1927.

 Thursday Hop

Most of the first class mail distributed in Nome yesterday left Seattle November 9th. It was carried to Juneau on a Can adian Pacific steamer, unloaded there on the 9th and brought to Fairbanks on the 10th by air plane.
 The Pacific Alaska AirWays brought 800 pounds of Nome and Fairbanks first class mail on this trip from Juneau to Fairbanks without receiving any compensa- ton whatever, says Nome Agent G. E. Bassett.
 The purpose of this, it was de- clared, was to help make up for the inconvenience caused by the strike conditions and to demon- strate at the same time how much airmail contracts, such as they are in the United States, would speed up delivery of letter mail in AL aSka.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. l3, - Assistant Secretary of Labor McGrady planned a new attack on the crusial hiring hall issue, in attempts to arrange a peace conference between employers and the strikers unions.
 He charged before the Maritime Commission that employers had hired spies and tapped telephone lines in efforts to discredit the union movement.
 He said he would present to the shipowners a guarded propos al of a control of waterfront hiring hall, which both unions and employers want to operate.
 The award two years ago pro- vided for joint operation but the shipowner charged that the un- ions appropriated control.
 McGrady said that if employ CTS indicated approval of his plan he would attempt to arrange the long delayed peace conference.
