With a courage rare in official
Washington, Mrs. Bess Truman
last night gave small party. Every
guest had pleasant seat, tasty,
home cooked dinner was served,
everybody knew each other and
appeared to have some legitimate
right to be present. 1t was de-
lightful occasion. Mrs. Truman is
this writer's personal nomination
for woman of the year.
There will be dissents The party
was for newspaperwomen and not
all were invited who thought they
should have been. Nevertheless, the
usual practice followed by Washing
ton hostesses Of taking various Cap
ital lists as long as the roster of
General Motors stockholders and
inviting every one of them, lest a
vote from Dubuque be lost, was not
followed.
1t has been said that Mrs. Tru-
man makes up her own mind in
White House social decisions. That
is apparently true. She decided to
select her own list and did it-about

Recent Upiurn in

By EDWARD C. STONE.


Washington bankers said today
that the line on the commercial
loan chart, which has pointed
downward for many months; is now
pointing upward, rejecting quite an
Improvement in the demand for
loans.
officers in all the banks consulted
IN a limited survey reported that
their institutions were enjoying an
upturn in requests for loans. In
some instances, loans for the pur-
chase of securities in the stock
market were reported.
The banks have made few loans
on stocks for some years, but re-
cent strength in both the stock and
bond markets has caused bank pa
irons to revive interest in these
investments in efforts to get larger
yields on their money. Loans for
real estate purposes, especially for
home alterations and improvements,
are also picking up, bank officials

Samuel T. BrySon, jr, member of
the investment firm of Hall, Peters

A native of Louisville, KY, he is a
graduate of the University of Vir-
ginia and is a past president of the

Dividends in Sharp Uptrend.
Standard & Poor's latest survey
points to the steady uptrend in
dividends since the end of the war
In the three months ending in
November initial dividends exceeded
those of the same 1914 period by
4S and there were 40 more extra
payments.
So far in December this trend
has been accelerated but the major
rise will begin in 1916, with lower
taxes in effect, the review suggests.
