BY HOMER JENKS United Press Staff CnrreannY1dn


 Boston, Oct. i2-(UP)-American bankers were urged today to resist encroachment in the savings field by "clumSy" governmental agencies and grim" installment-plan opera tors.
 ". The future of savings in this country win depend upon our ability to adapt the methods of our rivals to our own operations and to con- vert ourselves into adequate sales men of our own goods," Frank P. Bennett Jr. editor of the United States Investor, told the first gen- eral session of the American Bank CTS Associations 63d annual con- Vention.
 "There must be advertising and personal selling" he said. "There must be intelligence about It and there must be an irresistible driving force behind it.'
 Bennett was presented by prcsi- dent Tom K. Smith of St. Louis, Mo, as first speaker on the conven- ton keynote. "The American Out look"
 "The past year has been devoted largely to consolidation of our posi- ton" Smith said. we have at last had a chance to take our bearings and to appraise the opportunities and responsibilities which lie ahead" "
 Bennett declared the savings field was full of rival factors, "jostling each other in their efforts to grow and bewIidering the American saver at times by the babel of their rival claims"

 Members of the embassy party said that the planes were Japanese Arriving here they went at once into emergency conference with other embassy and consulate general off1- cials--and, in token of their conVic- ton that the planes were Japanese, notified the Japanese consulate gen. eral of the attack.
 Though none of the party was wounded 1t was realized at once that the incident was a dangerous one automatically and embassy of- ficials refused all requests for state- ments. They said they would make no statement before tomorrow, but began at once to send urgent official dispatches.
 Mayor o. K. Yui of Shanghai as- serted that six airplanes were inc volved in the attack.
 He said that he had received an official telephone message from the British embassy asserting that thC attacking planes were Japanese. One of the British embassy party was Flight 1siegt, S. 6.

Gov. Henry Horner of Illinois said
I'VE are opposed to any cut. We

The stocky Illinois Governor added
that he had gained the impression
the President has "a very great sympa-

The whole question undoubtedly will

eagemenC. While 1t Is not large
guest house it has many conven'
fences and suggests comfort and
homelike atmosphere. Some of
the rooms have four huge windows
in them and all have good closet
space. There is a bath on each
floor, thus eliminating congestion.
Rentals are quite reasonable.
TAYLOR ST. N. w.:
From a comfort standpoint this
should prove most interesting. A
widow living alone has more space
than she can use so she closed in
the rear porches which connect
with the bedroom and will rent
them as two-room suites. These
rooms are unfurniShed, and quite
spacious. If a congenial couple
would be interested, the owner will
gladly extend to them the privi-
legeS Of her entire house. The in
terror Of this house is beautifully
decorated and everything in apple
pie order.

This is almost like having your own

The bedroom is well furnished
and quite inviting in its rose deco

Never at any time do you need to

CL1FION 81. N. W.:
Everytime I have visited this
apartment building have mar
veled at the size Of the rooms. Rare
ly do you find such spacious ones
in units of this type. The one
room, kitchen and bath unit is
especially attractive and can be
rented furnished or unfurniShed.
The buildings occupy an entire
block and have switchboard and
elevator service. Another apart
ment that should prove interesting
is a bachelor unit of two rooms and
bath; one room furnished as a sit
ting room. You need have no fear
of transportation worries as the
14th street car is at one corner and
q downtown bus at the other.
Don't confuse these with the aver.
age furnished apartments. They
are really different.
ROOM WITH MEALS IN
A JEWISH HOME:
So many young Jewish girls and
boys away from home have written
me trying to find quarters in re-
fined Jewish home. Yesterday I
found a delightful place consisting
of a large front room with twin
beds that is available at once. The
question of closet space is as i'm
portant to the men as it is to girls
today, but that will never bother
you here for the congenial land

age space. Real home cooked
meals will be served and the rental
is only $35 apiece.
