S65,629,316 Added
To Bank Deposits
Here in Year
Sharp Increase Over
Year Ago Revealed
By Latest Coll
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Bank deposits in the Capital be-
tween April 4 194l. and April 4,
1912, scored a gain of $65, ,629 1858,
comparison of reports on the two
call dates reveals. Both these spring
condition calls by the controller
were on the same date.
Deposits on April 4, 1912. totaled
$500, ,739 408.49 against a total of
S437, 1000 Sc on the corresponding
date year ago. AS already noted,
the latest call disclosed that de-
positS in the Capital had crossed the
$5O0,000000 mark for the first time.
Explaining the sensational gain
In deposits here during the last year,
bankers said today that the main
reason seemed to be the very rapid
rise in population. This growth in
population in and around Washing
ton has caused a huge increase in
payrolls and a very large number of
new accounts in the banks. Many of
these have transferred more or less
money from banks in their home
States.
The new record is particularly i'm
preSsive since it was reached in
spite of the heaviest income tax pay
ments ever known and heavy pur-
chases here of war bonds. Bankers
said today that the biggest tax
payers in the city bought tax an
ticipation notes some months ago.
This means that the money used in
paying for the notes was not drawn
recently from bank accounts.
Bank officials said again today
that most of the money used in the
purchase of United States Savings
bonds is being taken from current
income instead of bank accounts.
When the bonds first went on sale. it
was feared there might be a sharp
drop in deposits. Deposits. however,
have been climbing steadily.

Stocks Edge Lower
On Profit Taking
From Last Advance
Fractional Losses Are
Rule os Early Minor
Gains Are Erased
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, April 8.-Stocks
edged into slightly lower territory
today on further profit cashing on
the recent advance.
The pressure was negligible mas
much as total dealings were only a
little above the lowest for the last
10 months or so but buying was even
more feeble and for much of the ses-
sion the list was wrapped in an air
of stalemate
Some minor gains the leaders
attained in the early proceedings
slowly melted away and at the finish
fractional losses were the rule. A
few stocks were down a point or so
and handful of resistant specialties
carried slim advances to the close.
Transfers were about 100000 shares.
Stocks in the laggard division in
cluded United States Steel, Bethle-
hem, Sears Roebuck, j. C. Penney,

tanned steady undertone on the
stock exchange and over the coun-
ter but price changes were generally
small.
The main corporate list continued
IN the narrow groove in the final
hour, adhering mostly to the form of

issue amounting TO $4,000 with the

through special facilities from
Chicago, Mr.. Lochner said that Ger
many's economy, functioning on a
basis of 80 per cent for war effort
and only 20 per cent for civilian
needs, had honeycombed the coun-
try with shortages of food, indus
trial manpower, transportation, tex
tiles and even necessary medicines.
But this does not mean that the
crack-up is around the corner" he
added. THE war is totalitarian for
the German not only as regards
rationing, CONSUMPTION, control of
public opinion, RECOMMENDATION Of
economy-it is totalitarian in the
vise-like grip in which the Gestapo
holds cowed population.
There is no chance for rebellion
or revolution at this stage of the
game, with all of the instrumental
tiles Of power in the hands of
Hitler and his henchmen. Not
until smashing military defeat is
administered upon the armed forces
of the Reich are the preconditions
for successful revolution likely
to obtain.

The Senate committee urged a
vigorous campaign against absentee
ism, which in some fields was said
to be cutting production as much as
10 per cent.
Mr.. McNutt said he had predicted
that the country would probably
face its first crisis in manpower dur
ing October Of this year.
1t was apparent, he explained.
that the twin manpower drains of
the armed forces and industry, fol-
lowing the readjustment due to the
conversion for war, would show UP
in serious shortages unless careful
planning was done. He said with no
control of planning, however, this
would have resulted in drastic cur
tailment of war production.

What chance, ask you, does the
civilian population have to stage a
rebellion with the cards thus
stacked against them? But, when
one defeat of the Hitler armed
forces follows another, when Hitler
must take even the men who are to
man these machine guns to the
front to fight the United Nations,
then the moment may come for
those millions of anti-Nazis whom
know to exist, to throw off the
shackels and come out into the open

 No time for beauty now-what with committee meetings, warden duty, more detailed planning in your wartime home?
 Don't let thoughts like that take half of youl They're danger signals indicating something already is get- ting you down. For the natural di- recticn in wartime is for women to be more, not less conscious of their lcokS. Not fussier about them, but more careful, more artfully groomed, And as any mental hygienist will tell you, one of the classic signs of sinking morale is that don't-care- how-I-look appearance.
 Doing something for your looks is a sound antidote. Again, refer to something genuinely renewing not merely to another dab of lip- stick on fatigue-tight lips.
 MAKE BATH
 WATER FRAGRANT
 For instance, try a warm bath. It needn't be a two or three-hour af- fair, but 1t should be allotted good half hour and if you can arrange to have 1t every evening you're dressing and going out, or at least, twice & week.
 And make the water luxuriantly, refreshingly fragrant with @ good water softener or bubble prepara- ton.
 7 Slip into the water and relax, utterly-don't sit rigidly, roughly yielding the bath brush or face- cloth. Let the foany, soothing bub- bles relax every tense muscle. You'll feel your tautness, and your wor- rieS, disSolving-and then you're ready to work up your lather with a good super-fatted soap.
 Finish off with brisk rubdown. Begin 1t by putting some steam into the motions of drying. Your towel is an excellent stimulator for your skin, but 1t needs vigorous handling to be effective.
 The steam from the bath is a good conditioner for the complexion too. By batting on rich cream be- fore stepping into the tub you can accomplish two purposes at once for cream and steam work together while you relax.
 After the tub and the rub, re- move the cream and apply make up. Then survey the result and see whether, looking better now, you don't feel A--more 1t for extra work and activity; and B-more capable of finding time, too, for keeping faultlessly feminine.
