FINANCING FIRMS
ENTER NEW FIELDS
Rely Less on Auto Sales.

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, September 4.-Be-
cause Of the opening of new fields for
financing companies, the total volume
Of financing in the first half of this
year was far better than during the
corresponding period in 1886. Au-
tomobile financing. however. after es-
tablishing new all-time high record
now appears to be slowing up, ac-
cording to La Rue Applegate in the
current issue of the Annalist.
In April OF this year, for the first
time since March. 1888, the volume
Of retail automobile financing failed
to equal that of the corresponding
month Of the preceding year Volume
OF financing in the second quarter OF
1887, as reported by the Department
Of Commerce. covering 282 identical
organizations. amounted to $537 ,2OO,-
600. only slightly above the volume
of 1886, 100000 in the second quarter
Of 1886. The present resting period
comes after gains of 20 per cent in
1885 and almost so per cent last
year
Auto Total Still Leads
Based on midyear balance sheets
the leading companies in the field
still rely on automobile financing for
the bulk of their business This is
also true Of the majority of small
finance companies On June 80 of
this year Commercial Investment
Trust and Commercial Credit had to-
tai receivables of about S775 900, 900
of which amount S59O,0OO, 900 was
classed as either wholesale or retail
automobile receivables. Automobile
financing, therefore, now amounts to
approximately IS per cent Of the total
business done A year ago the ratio
was almost 80 per cent.
The fact that the finance COM
panies are breaking away from their
dependence upon the automobile in
dustry is to be regarded as con-
structive factor In the future q
slump in automobile sales will have
less effect upon the credit organi-
cations than it did in the early years
of the depression. The finance units
are now entering numerous fields,
many of which had scarcely been
touched until but a short time ago.
Two important new fields of endeavor
are industrial machinery and COM
mercial appliances, such as store fix
lures.
Appliance Sales Gain.
Household appliances, especially
electrical items, have been CONNER
cially financed for some time, but are
becoming increasingly important One
of the newest fields is the financing
of professional instruments, such as
equipment for doctors and dentists.
Beauty parlor apparatus can also be
bought on credit terms. The Com
mercial Investment Trust Corp. a few
months ago reported that volume of
financing in certain of these new
fields was double that of a year ago.
Automobile financing in the first half
Of this year was up less than per
cent
"A huge field for the credit COM
panies Is now available in the financing
of air-conditioning equipment. Ac-
curate data are not available, but ac-
cording to present estimates between
40 and so per cent Of total sales are
now being made on terms. The phe-
nomenal gains which are now being
scored by air conditioning hardly need
special mention, as they are relatively
well known"

SOME FIRE HAZARDS

The advent of each brings special fire hazards.
Now that here due precauon should be taken
by property against the dangers that follow
ton OF rain and the arrival of dry. warm days.
Some of the worst fires have in vacant grassy
lots. Uncut dry grass almost explode into flame at
the touch of match spark. 1t is essential to
muny safety that adequate laws control the grass
and that these laws be enforced Farmers and others
living outside towns should be less jealous in reducing
this hazard.
During good weather, homes cleaned and reno
waited Great amounts of trash must be disposed Of often
by burning Here is still another of destructive fire.
The burning operation should take place only in metal
contaner Of adequate szeand under constant supervision
Finally, no matter what you do where you co. be
ever awake to the peril of fire. Do you like to drive in
parks forests? Then remember that careessness with
fire has destroyed trees than ever cut for
useful purpose Have you favorite picnic spot?
Then bear IN mind that the most beautiful place
devised become eyesore few short minutes

Flower Changes Color often

Mexico is the home of an amaz-
ing flower that changes color six
times day, writes a Home Garden
ing expert. It starts the day as a
pure white blossom, changing as the
morning wears on to dull rose. By
lunch time it is vivid red. Early in
the afternoon it becomes mauve,
but within an hour it has changed
color again, this time to deep violet.
BY nightfall it has changed once
more to vivid blue, and remains
so throughout the night. In the morn
ing it becomes white again. Botan-
lists have put many different theories
forward to account for this change,
but it still remains mystery, as
does the fact that the flower will
only grow in Mexico.

Summer Child Health
Conferences Under Way

A big army of new recruits
than forty thousand strong-will adj
vance upon the citadels of learning
throughout the State, when the
schools open in the fall. In order that
these five and six-year-olds may be
adequately equipped to stand both the
physical and mental strain of the
great adventure, summer "maneuv.
ers". are under way in every section
of the State under the auspices of the
Bureaus of Child Hygiene of the City
and State Departments of Health, the
City and State Departments of Edu-
cation and the Maryland Congress of
Parents and Teachers.
The "maneuvers" are officially list
ed as "child health conferences" or as
"the Summer roundup" of young
children. The order of exercises is as
follows:
() A health examination of the
children who reach school age this
year in preparation for their adnlis-
sion to school in the fall, the exam
nations to be made by the family
doctor, if possible, and if not, by the
doctor at the child health conferences
held under the auspices of the De-
partment of health.
(2) Prompt attention to conditions
discovered through the examinations
so that the children may enter school
free from avoidable physical handi-
caps. Some of the youngsters may be
found to be in need of dental care
the six year molars require careful
watching; few may show weakness
of hearing or of the eyes. Others may
be underweight and may need build
ing-up and careful checking-up will
be likely to show that more than half
of the youngsters have not been pro-
tected against diphtheria or smallpox.
(3) Checking and re-checking the
follow-up work to be sure the chill
dren in need Of medical or dental at
tention are getting it. Clinics for pro-
lection against diphtheria and vacci-
nation against smallpox.
In calling attention to the "ma-
neuvers," DR.. r. H. Riley, Director
Of the State Department of Health,
said: "The little first-graders have
their first try-out in the big world
when they enter school. They have a
better chance to make good physically
and in their school work if they have
been protected against avoidable haz-
ards before they start. aa
"a special effort is being made this
year to be sure all possible safe
guards have been attended to-includ-
ing protection against diphtheria and
smallpox. Follow-up activities win be
carried on in all counties. Special
