moderate income save? I put the question to a gray-haired investment banker who 15 a trustee of a mutual savings bank and pretty much an authority on savings. He replied. “A men or woman should saye ac- cording to his objective. JFact most pecpia follow that rule, ‘It's tho best rule, People who save spasmodically or draw out all or a part of their savings haye weak or vacillating objectives, Banks prob- ably make proportionately from hap- hazard savers who draw out savings before interest is due, than from the nt savers, “Whether a person should gave 5, er 10 or 20 per cent or more of his gern I couldn't say. I've seen a figuring aiong that line, eet it nsually won't keep a saving if he hasn't a well-thought-out, sens!- ble objective. People break down in their savings plans frequently be- cause they bite off too much at first. Led on by enthusiasm and not by a reasoning, definite plan, they start too strong. If they cannot keep their objective shining {n mind they get to hating it. A person who has mever saved or hasn't saved regul: Jy should start easily, a dollar or two @ week or $5 or ® month, some- thing he won't miss. That will ease him into the saving habit. Pretty goon he'll discover a rea! objective, that ha can heve a heme, or an in- fome independent earnings, a@ motor car or pernathin else that he's long desired. “Banks supply an objective tn Christmas savings clubs and vaca, tion savings plans. That's a good RO’ woop (Co) ht, 1924 Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, April 21.—A new battle for the freedom of the ether has burst on the radio world. But this time {t is a battle of the apart- ment house courts, rather than the courts of law. At least, it has ot ed out that way, tho there is every pronpect that it will end up in the courts. The issue in this new war, which the landlords of apartment houses face with fear and trembling, 1s whe- ther or not the ether, after say 11 o'clock at ae shall be made free for dormancy, In other words shall, or shall not the traditional 11 o'clock “noise curfew" be made, Radio as everybody who ewns a receiving s¢t, or lives near one * knows, is just getting steamed up at 11 o'clock. From then on until about 8 in the morning, the wild ether waves are made to shimmy to the strains of jazz, sent forth from @ dozen or more late sending sta tions, here,and there thruout the country. “bugs” certainly haven't any idea of passing up these concerts so that thelr more sedate neighbors may sleep. And the se- date neighbors have just as little idea, of lying awake until 3 a. m, Ustening to re-broadcasts “via the loud speaker route, if they can help it. Edward P. Doyle, of the New York real estate board, told the writ: | er today that the city organized landlords hadn't taken up the prob- | Tem yet, but that, undoubtedly they Pesci have to arrive at some con: bey enn le “The prob as not been serious thru the winter” he sald “because most of the radio fans could be in- duced to keep their windows closed. But now that good weather i coming on, the difficulties are going to increase daily. Apartment house courts are going to reverberate with midnight jazz—and impromptu mid- night dances promise to be quite the range. “In New York the problem ts com- plieated by the emergency rent laws which forbid a landlord to oust a ten- nant without taking him to court and proving him ‘undesirable.’ I think thers is little doubt the courts would hold that midnight radio ts a nuisance. But still the land lords are up to a tie, for in many apart: ment houses the number of radio fans exceeds those who don’t listen in.” Counter offensives probably will be started by some exasperated householders and it will be radio ver- sus phonograph, saxophone or plano in many an apartment house court.

Sales approximated 1,000,000 shares. Selling pressure again cropped out at the opening of today’s stock mar- ket, giving the general list a re- actionary tone, New 1924 lows were established by Yellow Cab, Chicago Yellow Cab and Cuyamel Fruit, off 1 to 2 points, DuPont and Baldwin each yielded about a point and the steels recorded fractional losses. International Telephone ad- vanced a point. Sale of a block of 13,000 shares of Congoleum at the “spread opening” price of $49 to $35 a share, as against 62%, Saturday's closing quotation, was the feature of the early trad- ing. The stock rallied later to 42. The general st continued reaction- ary, losses of 1 to 2% points being recorded by more than a score of isques, including Schulte Stores, American Tobacco B, Coca Cola, Stewart Warner, Cuban Cane pte- ferred, General Asphalt and Crucible Steel. Several new lows were re- corded in the oll group, including Producers and Refiners, Maryland, Merce and Standard Ol! of Califor- nia. Foreign exchanges opened steady, The main price movement con- tinued downward throughout the morning with selling pressure most effective in the rails, sugars, tex, tiles, chemicals and leathers, the net losses ranging from 1 to 6 points, Additional new low records were established by Atlantic Refin. Ing, American Hide and Leather preferred, American Woolen, American Sugar Refining, Daniel Boone Mills, Cosden and General Pe- troleum, Eastman Kodak dropped a point in reflection of the order of the Federal Trade commission charging monopoly and ubfatr com- petition in the film industry, The rails showed independent strength, gains of one to nearly 2 points be- ing recorded by Canadian Pacific, Southern Pacificeand Chesapeake and Ohio, Other strong spots were U. 8.

Gossip about delay of the MeNary-Haugen bill had more or less bearish in- fluence, ‘and so too did sales of wheat to go into store here. The close was heavy, er, May 1.08% to 1.04 and July $1.05% to $1,05@1.06. Early vuying on the part of houses with eastern connections ral led wheat prices today from a dewnturn which took place soon af- ter the opening. Most of the pur: vhasing was of the July and Sep- tember deliveries which represent the new 1024 crop. May delivery, which stands for wheat from the 1923 crop was less traded in than heretofore. Opening prices which varied from unchanged figures to 4c higher, May $1.04% to §1.04% and July $1.06% to §1.07, were followed by a moderate setback and then by a rise all around to well above Sat- urday's finish. Corn and oats, under considerable pressure from commission houses, were inclined to sag. After open- ing unchanged to %o lower, May 78% to 7840, the corn market ro- covered somewhat but then went be- initial range. rted unchanged to %e off, May 471% to 47\c and held near to the opening figures. Provisions were easier in line with hog values, Subsequently, a lack of buying support became evident, and the market declined. Reports of northward progress of corn planting and of enlarged acre- age had a weakening effect on the market. @ Besidcs, shipping demand here was slow.

Ono of Duse's great triumphs out- side of Italy occurred in 1885 when she went to Paris at the invitation of Sarah Bernhardt, who had offered her -her own theater In which’ to give her repertoire of “La Dame aux Camelias,” “Frou Frou" and similar Boston, her repertoire including th better-known plays by Victorien dou and Dumas, Ibsen's “Doll House" and works of the Italian 4 matists. Among her plays, in @ dition to those already mentioné were: Magda" *Jullet;" “Fernand “Trancesca da Rimini" “Fedora;’ “La Tosca;" “The Second Mrs, Tap queray;” “Songe d'une Matinee @ Printemps; “Romersholm;" and “Ia Gloconda.” Her last two public appearances prior to her long retirement, wer as a participant in the Ellen Terr theatrical jubilee in London tn 190 and in "La Gioconda” at Canner France, 1907. About this time sh had arrenged to tour South Amerit but wag stricken with an illness 4: Genoa which caused her to abando: the project. Shortly afterward she purchase the Capponi Villa, a beautiful 17¢ century estate in Florence, whet with her daughter, Enrichett made her home. The daughter, { 1908, was married to Edward Bu * lough of Guildford, Eng. It was ! Florence that “La Duse” really bi ¢ gan her artist{o career, when at tl age of less than 60 she madg her iginal success at the old theater, tf Arena Nazionale, by her fine actin and youthful beauty in an unlmpor ves plays of an emotional character. A misunderstanding arose between the two actresses, however, which some- what strained thejr friendship al- though each always freely acknowt edged the genjus of the other.
