NEWS
By Ruth

Cleveland, O., July 25-The
attendance dropped in our sing
ing practice last Friday night.
There was an excuse for some Of
the fellas, but what happened to
the rest of the girls: How about
everyone being there tonight as
we are starting a new song. See
you at Sis p. m. tonight Friday.
There will be a social after sing
ing tonight
To Cleveland East
The reason we did not show
up at your club after the game
last week is that we were not in
vited. Naturally, believing the
club to be closed and receiving
no invitation. we did not want to
intrude-which constitutes the
reason for our absence. Hope this
clears up the matter to your COM
plete satisfaction.

Sunday in Detroit. Rumors are
that quite few are planning to
attend. SO we'll be seeing you,

Fire Insurance Rate Slash
Voided by District Court

From Yesterdays Last Edition.
A rate adjustment order by Albert
F. Jordan, District superintendent
of insurance, which would have res
duced fire and lightning insurance
premium rates here some per cent,
has been ruled void by Justice Alex
ander Holtzof of District Court.
The ruling was based on finding
by Justice Holtzoff, which he OUT
lined in memorandum opinion,
that the new rates had been ordered
without an adequate hearing to per-
nit the insurance companies to
present their reasons for opposing
the reduction.
A total of 173 fire insurance COM
panies which. it is claimed, do ap-
proximately 80 per cent of the in
surance business in the District In
their class of insurance had brought
the court action to set aside the
order. which was to have become
effective on April 1. but was stayed
pending the outcome of the case.
Attorneys Paul B. Cromelin and
Francis C. Brooke, representing the
insurance companies. explained the
order would have made difference
of approximately s115,000 annually
in the payment of fire insurance
premiums in the District.

D. {. Bankers Predict
Next Call Will Show
Decline in Deposits
BY Edword c. Stone

Washington financiers are antici-
pating a call by Controller of the
Currency Preston Delano for the
condition Of all banks in the Dis
trict and all national banks in the
United States within the next few
days. Three calls a year are re-
quired by law and none has yet
been issued in 1916.
In the past one of the bank calls
has come around the end of June
which is also the end of the Gov
ernment's fiscal year A brief sur
vey made today indicated that bank
officials are looking for a consid-
cradle drop in aggregate deposits
from the all-time high mark of
sl,059, $780, ,583 on December 81, 1945.
There have been no War Bond
drives this year and the Treasury
has drawn out accumulated funds
from time to time as War Bond
deposits have been needed. Several
banks officials expressed the belief
that deposits may have passed the
peak for long period.
Chemical Gains Held Vital.
In the last five years changes
have occurred in the chemical in
dustry that are likely to have pro-
found effect on the future course
of business, Francis S. Williams,
vice president of Chemical Fund.
Inc, told a group of investment lead
ers at a luncheon at the Statler
yesterday. The magnitude of these
changes is shown by War Produc-
ton Board estimate that $4,000, ,000,-
900 was spent on chemical plant ex-
pansion during the war.
Mr. Williams said war business is
being replaced in many instances by
more profitable civilian production
He noted that 90 chemical COM
panies reported an average gain of
"A per cent in net income for the
first quarter. Outstanding was rise
of 424 per cent for Charles Pfizer
e. Co.
Other wide increases were: Abbott
Laboratories. 283; Heyden. 1872;
Bristol Myers. 100; Monsanto. 1873:
Squibb. 1877; and Wick Chemical, 103
per cent
Lanston Earns Sl01 Share.
Net earnings of the Lanston Mon
otype Machine Co. for the year
ended February % amounted to
s254,172 against s290140 in the pre-
ceding year. equal to sl0l per share,
compared with S1.l6 share year
ago. The S116 is based on the
present capitalization.

ness Machines Corp. have elected

dent. A son of the president, he
