Fleming Reviews Banking Year.
In picturing the banking situation
in Washington, President Robert V.
Fleming, president of the Riggs Ma
tional Bank, makes many interest
ing comments in his annual report
now in the hands of the stock
holders.
During 1910, he notes, business
conditions throughout the country
showed marked improvement and,
although our own city is nom
industrial community, due to the
national defense program, the i'm
provement in all types of business
conducted here was even greater
than elsewhere.
The volume of new housing units
erected during the year was greater
than ever before in the history of
this community or the surrounding
area. The upward demand for busi-
ness and construction loans became
accelerated at the outset of the past
summer and still continues, he
added.
Turning to credit matters, Mr..
Fleming says that during 1910, the
bank made 1882 new loans and dis
counts for an aggregate amount of
$28,977 900. A review of the records
discloses that of total Of $29, ,63S 600
applications considered by the Loan
Committee in 1910, only slightly
over 2 per cent were declined.
Current operating net income for
the year 1910 totaled S1,022 SIT 20,
as compared with S982, ,96302 for the
year 1899, the printed report states.
Deposits gained s21,e73,420 during
the year.
C. & P. 1910 Net Passes 1899.
Net earnings of the Chesapeake
g. Potomac Telephone Co. for the
full year 1910 amounted to $780,
ee7, against s1,805,543 in 1889, a
gain of $57454, according to the re-
port filed today with the Public
Utilities Commission.
December net income totaled
S19O,597, compared with S148,879 in
December, 1899. Operating revenues
were up substantially in Decem-
Der and in the full year gained 9.10
per cent over 1899. In the same
period expenses, including taxes,
were up 9.67 per cent.
There were 275, 1926 telephones in
service at the end of December,
which is an increase of 2,774 tele-
phones over the previous month.
Telephone users made 1882 900 calls
during the month, or 3,441 900 more
than in December, 1889.

Miss Lenroot Praises
ChiIdren's Protective
Association Work
Delinquency Prevention
Desperately Needed Now.
Meeting Is Told

Living conditions for many chill
dren in Washington may not be as
dramatically poor as those in a
crowded trailer camp, but they are
rust as serious.
This statement was made yester-
day by Miss Katharine Lenroot,
chief of the United States Chill
drenS Bureau, as she praised the
work Of the Children's Protective
Association at its silver anniversary
luncheon celebration.
The Community Chest agency
has been a pioneer, said Miss Len
root, in the type of delinquency
prevention needed desperately here
now. Children of parents who come
from out of town to work all va
rieties of shifts in the Government
Offices. she continued, face a dan
gerouS adjustment.
Preventive System Adopted.
Carrying welfare work into the
home, Miss Lenroot continued, and
attempting to solve such problems
before they become acute was first
the method of private welfare. agen-
cies and has long since been adopted
BY the Board Of Public Welfare.
She praised the leadership of Con-
rad Van Hyning, welfare director
and DR.. George c. Rutland, and
DR.. Ella Oppenheimer of the Health
Department, in delinquency pre-
vention activities.
Use OF the delinquency prevention
investigations, Miss Lenroot said,
grew out of Juvenile Court hearings
where home conditions which pro-
duce a bad boy" first impressed
themselves on social workers.
Schools, welfare agencies. the court
under Judge Fay Bentley. she added,
have all co-operated with the Chill
dren's Bureau in developing preven-
tive welfare.
National stress, she contended,
makes protective services for chill
dren more important than ever.
The association is building up a
staff Of skilled and volunteer work.
ers, she said, who would be inval-
liable in the problem of social ad-
Justment such as was faced by evac-
uated English children.
Defense Work Begun.
Defense work already undertaken
by the association, reported Miss
Mildred Terrett, executive secre-
tary, includes finding of foster
homes for nine British evacuees ano
care of children of defense workers
arriving here.
The usual protective service
work of the agency, she added, has
proved the most effective in dealing
with increased population problems
