The economic condition of the United States is mirrored in the savings of its people. In times oi prosperity, the middle and low in- come groups, who are the chief sav- CTS, are able to build up their ac- counts. During these periods of de pression, they must draw on sav- ings to meet the emergencies of de- creased incomes and unemployment
 Figures showing savings in banks over the past decade emphasize the toll taken by the depression. Sav- ingS had reached a peak of nearly twenty-eight and one-half million dollars in 1880 but in the ensuing vicissitudeS of business, they declin- ed by over seven billion dollars by 1883, when they stood at $21, ,125 ,534,- 900. On June 30, 1940, they were $25, ,750, ,050, ,000, almost back to the total savings accounts in 1927 This sum represented the total of 45,791, : 265 accounts, or in terms of indi vidualS about 35 per cent of the people in the United States. The depression accounted for ten per cent decrease. In 1928 the number of savings depositors was 53 ,168 ,348 or 45 per cent of the total popula- tion.
 A considerable proportion of these accounts are in mutual savings banks whose deposits amounted to more than ten and one-half billion dollars. Other state bank had $4,- 339, 9,704 ,000; trust companies 3D. 910,630,000; national banks, ST. 894 4,050,000; and private banks, $21 ,227, ,000. Savings deposits were 46 per cent of the individual deposits in all banks.
 Life insurance constitutes another important form of savings in the United States. Reports for the year 1889 show about sixty-four million policy holders with an investments in life insurance amounting to ap- proximately $113,800, 100000. Nearly 50 per cent of the inhabitants in the United States now carry some form of life insurance, compared with about 13 per cent in 1900. The value of policies in force was high est in 1881, before the depression had fully reached this form of say ings. From $1O8, 1885 ,563 ,000 in that year, the total dropped to $97, 7,985,- 044,000 in 1883.
 Investments Of individuals in gov- ernment bonds and other forms of securities are not easily separated from capital investments. However, it is safe to assume that a large part of the sales of the United States Savings Certificates, or Baby Bonds" are sold to savers. Since these bonds were placed on salt March 1, 1885. approximately fif- teen and one-half million with a maturity value of 4,497, ,281 $50 have been sold to about two million peo- pie.
 Building and loan associations are another favorite form of savings for some individuals. Membership in these associations totals about six

CITY MAY PLACE
 ADVANCE ORDERS
Suggestion of Commits siOner Bowling Meets
 With Approval

A proposal that the public works department and the engineering bureau place advance orders for supplies and materials they may need during the year met favor at Q meeting of the board of works last night. The plan was advanced by Commissioner Henry J. Bowling, who said that prices were rising steadily and that the city would save large sum if goods were or- dered before they go any higher.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully also point ed out that priority being given government orders might cause de- lay in filling local orders later in the year. The board members de- cided to meet with Supt. of Public Works Herbert Scott-Smith and City Engineer Charles A. Root to work out program for advance purchases.
 The board referred to Supt. Scott Smith a complaint from residents of Waverly Street and Grace Avenue that a pond in that section is a breeding place for mosquitoes. The city was asked to drain and fill the pond. A delegation of 20 residents appeared.
 A group from Kent street and Manchester avenue asked that the city either provide better water ser- vice or reimburse them for money they had spent for pipe. They com plained that water pressure is too low. The complaint was referred to the water committee
 The engineering bureau reported that it would cost $1,850 to extned a storm sewer on Williamson Drive and $8,000 to install storm sewers on Ward, Locust and Orange streets.
 It was voted to ask tne boar..s of finance and aldermen to approve the expenditure of $4,50O as the city's monthly share of the WPA sanitary sewer project.

 London, Jan. 15-Hattie Green is not important. Shes just one of Britain's 15,000,000 wives who have had a tough time in this war. She has seen her home demolished by | a bomb, her husbands small buSi- ness destroyed by incendiaries and l now she's struggling to keep her family together on dole income until the last possible moment.
 For Bill, the son, is scheduled to be called up any day now and al- though 17-year-old Flora is work ing in a West End restaurant the job is only temporary so there's talk of her joining the Women'S Land Army.
 Worries About Dad"
 But it's the gray-haired man she calls Dad that has Hattie Green worried. They've been married 35 years come Michaelmas and though he has pleaded with her to evacuate to the country she has consistently refused.
 "What would do in the coun- try?" she says. I've never yet left Dad and I'm not going to start now not for any old Hitler. But might go if there was good hotel where Dad could go. If left he'd prob- ably not get enough proper food and I'd never have a moments peace from worrying
 Which is the hurdle London re- lief workers must overcome if their current plan of sending every last woman to the country and housing the men in wartime hotels is to suc- ceed.
 "TwO-After a Year?"
 At the moment two hotels for these civilian men have been opened in London, which causes Hattie Green to reply:

and he still has few surprises to spring on the Lodge.
 It is many years since Water bury has hollored one of it's Ex- alted Rulers by initiating a Class in his honor and we feel that the response of its members with new applications should be prompt and in good.y numbersl We direct this especially to the members of the "Geneaal John J. Pershing Glass;. It is our belief, consider ing the enthusiasm with which they were received in the Lodge by our members, and the splen- did initiatory exercises put on by the officers, that they should re- spond 100 per cent as an express sion of their appreciation of his efforts in organizing their class.
 Lets all pull and show our Ex- alted Ruler what a swell job we can doH
 Thursday evening, February 9th has been designated as Old Timers and Past Exalted Rulers Night. The appointment of committee to make arrangements for ;ile annual tribute to the 100 eldest living mem bers of the lodge and to all past Exalted Rulers will be made at the regular meeting of the lodge tomor- TOW night.

|ELKS TO HONOR
 EXALTED RULER
''Hary X. Cashin" Class Now Being Organized,fOr
 Initiation in Near Future

Members of the Waterbury Lodge of Elks are organizing a Harry x Cashin Class" of candidates to be initiated before his retirement as Exalted Ruler in April. The tribute will be the first in years to be paid chief executive of the lodge in appreciation of his work. Under MT Cashin's guidance Lodge 265 has enjoyed one of its most prosperous years in recent history. It has profit ed by very substantial boost in membership and has sponsored sev- eral public events that were note- worthy from social, and financial viewpoints.
 The current issue of the Elks' Call, the lodges official periodical makes formal announcement of the plans. The idea was proposed and adopted as a surprise to the exalted ruler. The arrangements are being made by the membership committee and the formal announce ment in part reads as follows:
 we have just finished a splen- did job of honoring one of our national heroes by initiating into our Lodge 59 members in the General John Pershing Class"
 Too many times men in our own midst who have accomplished much good and are tireless work CTS for the good of the Community and Lodge are overlooked in our desire to do honor. It is with this thought in mind that we announce
 "The Harry X. Cashin Class.
 Harry has been a "plugger" for everything in Waterbury since he was a kid upon the "Hill''. With out question he is the most "presi- dented" man in Waterbury. Since becoming active in the Elks he has worked hard night and day for the success of everything that might be of good for the Lodge

 How War Hits Family Group

Two, after a year of war? I tell you that many more women like me would go to the country with their children if they knew their men were being looked after in hos tels. But not till then"
 The London Hostel Association which, under the supervision of the Ministry of Health, is operating these communal billeting centers for civilian men, says it can promise comfortable quarters and good food at rates according to the person s ability to pay. And although only two hotels have been opened to date, it is now planned to open a greater number in every key city throughout England. Plans for housing young men and girls in

similar, but separate, establishments are now in the works. Makes Sense to Mir. Green
 To MT. Green the evacuation of his wife to the country makes sense. He believes, like many Londoners these days, that air raids of real ly violent nature are scheduled now and spring. His son, about ready for the army, and his daughter, now making plans to enter the Woman $ Land Army, will be far safer from bombs than his wife.
 ''The Missus won't go," he says, I've tried to make her. I'd be all right, and the kids will soon be taken care of. So we would all be happier if Mother was out of the way in safety .. if there is such a thing any more."
 But Hattie Green, from her mat tress stretched out along the floor of the Community Rest Center where the Green family was making plans for the future after losing the last Semblance of a home, opined that maybe she would go to the country after all after I've had a look through one of these hostels tomorrow"
