Northeast SAVINGS
Remaining Assets
Sold al Auction
Approval by Controller
To Be One of Lost Steps
To Close Receivership

Approval by the controller of cur
rency of sale of the last remaining
assets of the Northeast Savings
Bank for $625 was one of the last
steps remaining today toward clos
ing the receivership of the bank.
Sale of the final remaining assets
was held late yesterday in an auc-
ton at the Office of Receiver Justus
S. Wardell, 1914 K street NV.
Should the transaction receive
the approval of the controller, it
was explained, the money will be
pooled with some cash on hand and
distributed among the depositors as
dividend. Since the depositors
have already been paid 100 per cent
of their deposits, it was stated, the
dividend will be in the nature of an
interest dividend.
Assets disposed of yesterday in
cluded some bills receivable, over
drafts, judgments and other chattels
having book value of some $40, 900.
1t was pointed out, however, by the
receivers Office that many of these
had been charged off by the bank
previous to its closing in 1888.
The receivers Office estimated it
would be a matter of several weeks
possibly around the first of the
year-before the dividend would be
distributed.

Rumania and Hungary and the
Reich is sending its own cars
abroad for q rush trade. BauXite,
copper, lead and zinc used to be
sent by sea via Salonika and the
Adriatic. Now the slow overland
route and the Danube River (which
will freeze at the end of the month";
are the only trade routes used by
the Reich.
In the first six months of 1899
Germany absorbed 38 per cent of
Yugoslavia's export trade. Re-
stricted communication and trans
port, plus Yugoslavia's cash-and-
carry arrangement for minerals
against arms, is reducing trade be-
tween the two countries. Trade will
be further reduced as the German
stocks of exportable goods get low,
unless the Reich can get materials
from Russia.
Meantime, the masters of the
Reich are racking their brains for
ways of obtaining raw material from
abroad without payment. The latest
German brain wave may affect Yu-
goslavia. 1t is rumored that the
Germans will produce the pre-last
war Bosnian debt which Yugoslavia
inherited together with Bosnia, just
as the Reich inherited the Austrian
and Czech debts and part of the
Polish debts, together with these
territories. The Bosnian debt re-
suited from a loan of Kaiser Will
helms Germany for railroad con.
struction. Hitler's Germany would
conceivably claim payment of the
old Bosnian debt in raw materials.

Copper
CONTINUED From First Page.)

the harassed Yugoslavs assured
them that there would be no mas
sive shipments to the Reich. While
the Bor copper mine is French
owned, Yugoslavia has the right to
a quota of one-f1fth of its pro-
duction. 1t is this quota that the
Germans want and that the allies
want to keep Germany from getting.
Try Not to Anger Germany.
The Yugoslavs desire to sell to
customers who will pay in foreign
exchange, but at the same time
they do not want to anger their
best customer, Germany, which
might use force instead of persua-
sion if frustrated in its desires.
Moreover, the Germans offer what
few others are offering, arma-
ments, and Yugoslavia is extremely
anxious to get arms. Parenthetic-
ally, it must be said that a certain
distrust of the Germans has in
creased perceptibly in the case of
Messerschmidts. following the re-
cent 80 French aerial victory over
the Saar.
In the meantime, Yugoslavia is
considering using some of its copper
in a deal with Rumania in order
to get much-needed petroleum. The
arrangement reached with the Ger
mans at present amounts to a sort
of cash-and-carry system. The
Germans are SO desperate for min
erals that they have agreed to a
modification of the clearing system
with which the Yugoslavs are dis
satisfied because of slow payments.
Special quota arrangements have
been established for the exchange
of minerals and ornaments, par
ticularly as the Yugoslavs are re-
leasing for export to Germany only
an amount of minerals equal to
the amount of arms coming from
Germany to Yugoslavia. It is re-
ported in some foreign circles here
that German deliveries of arms have
slowed down lately, although every
few days German planes are flying
over Yugoslavia to Bulgaria-much
to Yugoslav annoyance.
Rolling Stock Returned.
At the outbreak of war q guam
tity of Yugaslav railroad cars,
barges and 65 tugs were stuck in
Germany. At the October meeting
of the permanent German-Yugoslav
Trade Mission the Yugoslavs re-
quested the return of their prop
erty as conditional to any further
| talks. The Germans complied. |.
Yugoslavia's rolling stock now is no
longer crossing the border; the Ger
mans have to do their own trans
porting of freight from the border
to the interior.

Building Permits

Building activity in California
climbed to new high territory in
March, according to Bank of Am
ericas Business Review for that
month as prepared by the institu-
tons Analysis and Research De-
partment.
Value of permits issued for all
types of building in 80 principal
California cities was 2O,752 ,99l.
This, says the review, is the high
est monthly total during the recov-
cry, representing a SO per cent in
crease over the previous month
and a gain OF 43 per cent over
March, 1888.
Chief factor in the building in
dustrys advance over a year ago
was the greater activity in resi-
Dental building. Value of permits
for this type of construction in IL
principal California cities during
March was $9,933, 900. a gain of SO
Ter cent over both the same month
last year and February this year.

FRED AMES--

1t Is not to be expected that
everyone will become gardening
enthusiast, any more than it is to
be expected that everyone will start
collecting stamps or rare coins.
Whatever ones personal hobby, it is
always little difficult to under
stand why everyone is not inter-
ested in the thing which interests
us so greatly.
However, there is this to be said
for the amateur gardeners:
There is no other group which
shares the fruit of its labors more
freely and unselfishly with the
general public, or contributes more
to the improvement of the COM
munity in which they live. Beauty
is one of the few things in life we
may share with others, without
in any way diminishing our own
supply. In fact, when we stop to
admire someone else's garden, we
usually increase his own apprecia-
ton of that which he has created.
Without any special drive for home
Identification having been conduct

never seen finer displays of sweet
peas anywhere, than I have seen
growing in our own town within
the past few months. This is very
encouraging We are moving along
in the right direction. But, of
course, there is still room for i'm
provement. There always will be.
The sweet peas and the other
variety of winter bloom are fad
ing now, but that does not mean

that our gardens must be devoid
Of color in the months to come.
With more and more of us staying
in the valley through the summer
we must devise ways and means
of helping our gardens bloom the
year round. 1t may be easily done
if we are willing to devote a little
more time and attention to our
plants through the hot weather.
We have many summer blooming
ANIMALS in southern California
which are not less attractive than
those which delight us through the
cooler months. Among these one
of the best is the zinnia.
Those who have attended the
Los Angeles county fair at Pomona
in recent years will remember the
wonderful display of zinnias which
is always to been seen there. To
me it is one of the principal at
fractions of the fair. Probably no
other Towering annual has been
more greatly improved by the plant
breeders than has the zinnia. A
few years ago the zinnia was a
