accounts to provide ahead OF time for
fire insurance payments and for taxes.
While not much of it was Withdrawn
to pay taxes in the last half of the
year, insurance premiums coming due
accounted for their part Of the out
now. Associations are increasingly
using the plan Of having borrowers
provide by monthly payments IN ad-
vance the sums which are bound to
be due periodically for paying insur-
ance protection on the property and
State and local taxes.
Down Payments on Homes.
For 1887 as whole the people who
had saved money in savings, building
and loan associations and arrived at
the juncture for which they had saved
or planned it. were paid about 81 900.
100000, the league estimates. Some
light on what they did with 1t is given
by the league official.
Probably the greatest single pur-
pose for which this cash was used was
for down payments on homes" he
said. While the last half of the
year represented slackening Of the
demand for home buying and build
ing, it by no means cut of altogether
the activity in this field. Savings,
building and loan associations are
close enough to the original strict
purposes for which such institutions
were organized to hold more OF the
country's savings being accumulated
for future down payments on home
ownership than all the other types
Of savings institutions put together.
1T must be remembered that Or

by Investors.

Savers and investors received $685.

associations during the last half of
1887. it is reported by the United
States Building and Loan League.
During the same period more than
this amount was newly placed in the
associations by old and new investors,
1t was pointed out.
This conversion into cash of COM
pleted and partially completed savings
programs and income shares in the
thrift and home financing institutions
was looked at as normal procedure
IN every respect, at least this propor-
ton Of the total assets, 8 per cent,
having habitually been paid out to
savers In the most prosperous six
month periods.
The sum also includes about $685.
100000 which was loaned to members
OF the savings, building and loan
associations on security of their share
accounts. These investors did not
wish to sacrifice rewards for main
tanned savings programs in terms of
bonuses at the end Of their goals, and
the associations arrange for cash loans
at modest charges, to take care of
their situations.
July Was Big Month.
Conspicuous feature of the turnover
In cash during the last half Of 1887
was the absence Of any increase during
the last quarter, when things were be-
ginning to go bad with employment
and the general business situation,
comments Morton Bodfish, Chicago,
executive vice president of the league.
July was the really big month in
cash paid out, this being habitually
the month Of turnover in investments
From then on each month showed
actually less demand for cash than the
one just preceding with December
ending up with just about one-third
the sum paid out in June.
Not to be overlooked as its part in
the cash turnover was the money
which had been built up in the In
stitutions by monthly payments OH

iginally all Of the people who put
money in savings, building and loan
associations did SO with the idea OF
building or buying q home.
Other purposes for which these
sums were withdrawn include pay
ments for college educations and cap
ital for starting small new businesses.
Then there are always those who save
for relatively short-term goals, such as
travel, and these form a goodly por-
ton OF those to whom their savings are
returned every year."

BroWn'S Schooln1ates,

I'VE think it's the most dread
full thing that ever happened"
That was the fearful comment
today on the kidnapping of Mary
Brown, 1S-year-old student at
Notre Dame Academy, by a visibly
shaken Schoolmate.
SCARED TO DEATH
While excited children gathered
in knots to whisper about the dis
appearance of their classmate,
who was taking a postgraduate
business course at the institution,
13-year-old Jean revealed the stu
dents are scared to DEATH"
Jean, who declared she had

quickly over the school today.
From tiny tots in the first grade
to high school students, they are
terribly upset." Jean said.

Reconstructing the events that
led up to the kidnapping, police
found the following:
The two girls left the Notre
Dame Academy about 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon and took the Con-
gress Heights bus. Their step
mother did not meet them, but
they saw a friend, Raymond Tice,
who gave them a ride into Oxon
Hill.
DECIDED TO WALK
Arriving there, they saw their
stepmother's car parked in front
of . doctors office, but decided
instead of waiting for her, they
they would walk along, and she
would pick them up on the road.
Later, it developed that Mrs.
Brown had rot lone to the doc

sister, Margaret, had driven here

was at home when he terrified

and sobbed out the story Of the
kidnapping.
When they were about a quar-.
ter of a mile from home, the
black panelled delivery truck
passed by, and the two men
slowed down and asked if the
girls wanted a lift.
Thinking this was only friend
ly act, the girls called out that
they were almost home and
thanked the men, who drove down
the road a bit, stopped, turned
around, and started back.

girls it halted and, without say

Every law enforcement agency
in the State of Maryland was or

From the executive mansion at
Annapolis, he gave orders that

DETECTIVES AID HUNT
From Baltimore came four ace
detectives, headed by Lieut.. Rob
ert Bradley, noted criminal in
vestigator, to render all assistance
possible.
One of the first things done this
morning was to take casts Of the
tire marks found in the road
where the girl was kidnapped.
These casts will be sent to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
for study and classification, and
are expected to be important evi-
dence when the truck is located.
During the night, scores Of men
braved the cold to carry On the
search. Carrying flares, torches
and searchlights, the heavily
armed men combed the woods.
Every man in the searching
parties carried guns. Hardware
stores in the vicinity were sold
out of ammunition, as the posses
formed and started their method

DIRECTION STUDIED
One of the problems confront
ing police is to determine which
way the kidnapers went as they
sped away down the county road
after Seizing the girl.
The road they took leads into
the Southern Maryland Pike, and
from there they could have gone to
the South through Waldorf and
La Plata, or they could have
turned toward Marlboro and on
to Baltimore, or doubled back into
the District.

Moulage impressions have been

Other moulage prints were
taken of the tire marks left in

Justice to determine the exact
size and make of the tires. The
prints may furnish information

short wave station is being utilized
to send details out to the scores
of scout cars and motorcycles that
are taking part in the search for
the kidnapers.
