BY PROF. J. D. FLINT.

THREE boys went out o.. camp
ing trip. They planned to be
gone some time and among their sup
plies they had many bottles of soda
pop of which they we're very fond.
When they arrived at their camping
place they assigned themselves to
tasks to prepare the camp and went
of in three directions. One of them
accomplished his task first and when
he returned he ,decided to be sure of
his share of the pop, so he took one
third of the bottles and hid them
Then, being thirsty. he took one more
and drank it. He went out again and
a second boy came in. He had the
same idea. so he took a third of the
bottles that were left, hid them and
drank another. The third boy came
IN later and did the same thing. Then.
when all of them were togethe.', they
divided the remaining bottles in three
parts and there was one left over. How
many bottles had there been in the
first place?

BANKS INCREASE
BUSINESS LOANS
Rise of About $45,000,0 900
in Last Three Weeks
Is Reported.
By Vie Associated Press.

High officials of the Federal Reserve
Board expressed confidence today that
the vast credit expansion sought by
the Roosevelt administration has be-
gun.
The trend of bank loans to finance
business and industry. they said, has
turned definitely upward for the first
time since last october. The last three
weeks brought higher reports Of COM
mercial, industrial and agricultural
loans in banks Of 10l leading cities.
The officials declined, however, to
forecast how fast the s3,O00,O00 900
of lendable funds in the Nations
banks might be loaned out. The in
crease of business loans in the last
three weeks was about 45,O00,0O0.
Reduced Is Per Cent.
After the banks reduced their busi-
ness loans for % consecutive weeks at
the beginning of the recession, only in
isolated weeks did the volume turn
upward again. At the bottom, banks
in the 1Ol cities for which figures are
available had reduced these credits
about S650O0000 or Is per cent.
This and other investment factors
administration determined in April to
encourage more loans by swelling still
further the supply OF idle money. 1t
hoped the mere availability of credit
and the desire of banks to convert idle
money into earning assets would break
the loan jam.
simultaneously. the Treasury began
pouring ,4Oo.O00,0O0 from its gold
fund into the store of idle cash, and
the Federal Reserve Board added $780,
100000 to the hoard by reducing re-
serve requirements.
Rules are Lberalized.
More recently, three Federal banking
agencies added another credit incen-
tive by Gberalizing slightly the exam
ination rules and methods which
usually influence loan policies of the
banks.
Even If bank loans increase steadily
from now on. the $4,000, 100000 credit
reservoir technically known as "eXcess
reserves" is scheduled to go to nearly
$4,000,000,000 before the end of the
year. AS the Federal spending pro-
gram picks up speed, direct or indirect
recipients of Federal cash will in
crease their bank deposits and pro-
portionately increase excess reserves.
Meanwhile, the seasonal increase of
money in circulation will also tend
to boSt excess reserves
A major offSetting factor will be the
Treasury's borrowing program. Faced
with s4,oOO,OOO, 900 deficit this fiscal
year, the Treasury expects to borrow
about s2,000000,000 in the open
market, making heavy drains on idle
funds. The first large part of this
borrowing is scheduled for Sep
tember Is.
