Savings Bank Leader
Urges Better Ways
To Promote Thrift
By Edword c. Stone

J. w. Stockbridge, public relations
director of the National Association
of Mutual Savings Banks, has issued
a call for more progressive promotion
of thrift among savings institutions.
' Addressing the Massachusetts,
saving bank convention at Swamp
scott, he declared there is a need
for savings banks to become more
sales minded and through increased
advertising make new appeal for
savings.
He quoted the Federal Reserve
Boards statement that SO per cent
of all families have no savings ac-
counts, adding that commercial
banks will spend more than $780,
00O,00O, 900 in advertising during the
present year.
Another speaker told the bankers
that business is too good to be
true" Raymond Rogers of New
York University said consumers are
spending 1922 per cent of their in
comes and saving only 68 per cent.
THAT can't last" he asserted.
LanStOn MOnOtype SLrOnS.
Since the recent increase in the
dividend, interest in Lanston Mono
type stock has been steadily on the
increase, last sales in the stock be-
ing at 18a, only u from the high
for the year.
Department store stocks have been
favored in trading on the Washing
ton Stock Exchange. Garfinckel
common, new, opened the week at
1917, ex-dividend, while there are
said to be many orders for Wood
ward & Lothrop and Hecht issues
just under the market.
Potomac Electric Power common,
when issued. and Potomac Electric
Power $50 per cent preferred con-
tinue to be active over the counter.
When issued in October they will
become more in demand and even
tually are expected to be leaders in
trading on the Washington Ex-
change.
Many Stocks Now Ex-dividend.
Many issues on the Washington
Exchange are being quoted ex-divi-
dend and will make distributions in
in the next few days. Among
them are Carpet Corp, three Gar
fnckel issues, Mergenthaler Limo
type, Peoples Drug and the two
Woodward g. Lothrop stocks,
A. L. M. Virgins, Undersecretary
of the Treasury, has just accepted
checks totaling s146,695,25o from
Maple T. Harl, chairman of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corp,
representing more than half of the
original capital advanced to the
FDIC by the Government.
Credit Terms Outlined.
With Government control of con-
sumner credit due to end November l,
the ABA Consumer Credit Commit
tee has prepared for banks a sug-
gested schedule of down payments
and maturities for different classes
of loans.
The ABA guide favors a minimum
down payment of 331s per cent on
new automobiles, to run "a months;
same percentage on used cars to
run 18 months and 40 per cent on
older models to run only Is months.
Loans on refrigerators, ranges,
washing machines and ironers
would require 20 per cent down pay
ments, to run 36 months. Radios
and television sets would have, 25
per cent down payments and run Is
months. Washington bankers are
planning to follow these guides
closely, officials say.

Lag in Apparel Trade
Blamed on Advance
In Living Costs
By J. B. WoIIoch
North American Newspaper Alliance


NEW YORK, Sept. 15.-Post-
Labor Day improvement in retail
sales has not been evidenced
and although unseasonably warm
weather generally is blamed for
sluggish apparel business, there is
a growing inclination to look be-
yond high temperatures for the
explanation.
Price resistance is a factor which
is receiving closer attention. It has
not been vocal, but increasing phys
ical volume in terms of units sold
suggests that resistance is present,
and that its effect saleswise is prov
ing cumulative.
Delivery difficulties have hindered
merchandising. Incomplete as we'll
as tardy shipments have not only
disrupted promotional programs
but have frustrated the efforts of
retailers to exploit fully consumer
demand for popular items.
This seasons radically new FASH
ion silhouette had been counted
upon to impart a strong impetus
to apparel buying. Unfortunately,
coat and skirt lengths remained
controversial questions long enough
to sow the seeds of uncertainty in
consumer minds.
Aware that the public would be
exceedingly price and value con-
scious, many retailers deferred fall
commitments as long as they DARED,
hoping against facts that prices
would recede sufficiently to open up
the latent markets which all felt
existed.
These hopes, so far as the new
fall-winter season is concerned, have
been blasted. Not only did prices fail
to soften, but in many cases manu-
facturers boosted the prices of goods
on order, and the subsequent values
did not make the merchants job any
easier.

Social Workers DENY
Laxity in D. T.. Relief

Representative Horan, Republican,
of Washington was mistaken when
he charged District relief rolls in
clude hundreds Of unwarranted
cases, social workers Of the Depart
ment of Public Welfare declared
today.
Representative Koran made the
charge yesterday before Fiscal Sub
committees of the House and SEN
ate District Committees. AS an ex-
ample, he said, father of three
illegitimate children was employed
by the District Refuse Department
at $3.50 a week, while the mother
and children were receiving relief
payments totaling $40 a month.
A welfare worker took out of the
files a case corresponding to that
mentioned by Mr. Horan. The father
was working and earned about $33
week, but refused to support the
children or their mother. The We'll
fare Department tried to get some
assistance from him, but he refused
and there was no way to make him
support the family.
The mother could have forced him
by going to court, but she refused
to do this, There was two alterna-
tives open to the Welfare Board:
Either support the mother and chill
dren or put them out on the street.
They decided to support them.

993% Freight Jump in ? Years

six CATS for all its freight opera

Yet all these planes require a
considerable lifting of cargo from
ground to plane, and few ramps

Doors comparable to freight car
doors have not yet been adopted
generally, although these are on

Terminals likewise have been
swamped under the load of freight.

occasionally able, to construct ade-
