ago. With competent and honest management, there is no cause for any home loan institution to fail.
 Few Failures
 While there are four hundred closed banks in Ohio as result of the recent depression, only seven savings and loan concerns went under, and they will pay out near ly one hundred cents on the dollar, while the deficiency of the closed banks will aggregate billion dol lars" The Federal charter was of great benefit during the depression, Mir Tobin averred. Assets frozen under State charters were put back into operation by such concerns as were able to secure Federal char ters. All institutions which have adopted Federal charters have shown marked progress since such adoption. "In starting out with a Federal charter, your institution is remarkably well founded"
 The amortized, monthly pay ment, home loan is the only suc- cessful form of home loan, and is the basis of the most important phase of the savings and loan busi- ness, the lending end. However, the other side, the promotion of saw ings, cannot be overlooked, Mr. Tobin pointed out. Remember" he said, the Government source of funds is drying up. In the fu- ture, funds must come from the public, and the public must be educated to the acceptance of the savings and loan idea"
 Answers Questions
 Following his address, Mir Tobin answered questions concerning the savings and loan business put to him by those present; drawing upon his experience as an eXecu- tive in one of the nations largest concerns in that field, also as a member of his States examining and governing board for savings and loan institutions.

FIVE ATTEMPTS
 TO ROB SAFES
Police Suspicious of Or ganized Gang Operating
 Here; Warn PIatOOns

With i've attempted safe burglar les in Waterbury in recent months, police are convinced that an or- ganized gang is at work in the city. Special instructions have been given plainclothesmen, street patrolmen and motor patrolmen in an effort to capture the thieves.
 Tn each case the thieves have either removed or attempted to re- move safes from the premises, then, in the seclusion of country road. break them open.
 The latest instance was the at- tempted theft Friday night of a safe from the offlces of the Coca Cola Bottling O., Sperry street The burglars were frightened away from the place, after having moved the safe to a garage, preparatory to driving 1t away.
 A safe was removed from the Spencer Grain O., Hamilton ave- nue, taken to Wolcott, and there broken open. and footed. The same was done with safe in the Miller & Peck Go. store.
 Burglars also broke into the Brown Bros. department store, North Main street, and footed the strong box of large amount of cash. An attempt to break open safe at the National Biscuit Co.,, West Li- berty street, is believed by police to have been the work of boys. The other crimes, however, are attribut- ed to an organized gang.
