Both the ad tages and disadvantages of the s charge, which has caused a lively troversy among Washington bankers, were presented. All three papers were | most enthusiastically received today selle’'s winning essay follow: The closing statements in Mr. Bls- selles wining essay follow: “I reiterate that the general and wholesale application of the service charge as a panacea for the unprof- jtable account is wrong in principle, but when used with moderation and discretion as a tonic for the upbuild- ing* of unhealthy accounts it may well serve to build up a bank ac- count from a run.down condition, | nurse it through the period of con- valescence and restore it to that state of health which will prove a joy to its owner and to the hookkeeper. To this extent the service charge can mprove service to customers. It can be used as a crutch to keep them on their feet in times of misfortune; but | only a healthy balance can give them | the best bank service, providing them with an_emergency reserve, a credit velationship and that feeling of com- fort which the ,ervice charge can never produce. ~ In concluding 1| would like to say this: Depend on Public. “We are dependent upon the public for our existence and prosperity. It is primarily to our own negligence that the public's misconception of bank costs is directly traceable. It therefore would seem to rest with us to remove that misconception and sub- stitute therefor a new understanding on the part of our depositors of our problems. Let us impress our de- positors with the value of a good banking relationship, of the standinz it gives them, and of the opportuni- ties it offers. Let us place our cards on the table and see if we cannot de- crease the amount of unprofitable business that we all carry now. After all, would it not be infinitely more de- sirable from our viewpoint and that of the depositor also if we can con- trive to place many of the accounts that are now losses to the bank on a profit:ble basis, rather than to tax them because they aré unprofitable? Discussions followed each paper. Following the presentation of his mddress on the certification of real estate notes, Mr. Addison offered cer- tain resolutions for consideration t the association, and aimed to-bring about constructive changes in present conditions. Louis Rothschild stated that even the gold-mining stock promoter has not yet disappeared, and that every little while one tr 3 get money from Capital r fake oil stock salesman is still abroad in the land, he said, and the hucl shop operator is not yet a thing of the past. Funds Are Protected, The “Before You Invest—Investi gate” campaign has diverted a hc of funds belonging to inexperienced in- vestors from questionable and fraudu lent to legitimate channels, he de- clared. During the past vear, he said the bureau has answi d 4,000 spec! inquiries regarding investments and given, safe guidance to hundreds of thousands through radio talks, news paper advertising, news publicity z other means. In conclusion, Mr. Rothschild urged District bankers to work for a ne “blue sky,” or fraud law, to still he ter protect people with limited comes. Harry V.

Until the work is caught up in the Pension Office the employes will come to work at 8:30 o’clock and leave at 5 o'clock, in lieu of the hours of 9 to 4:30 o'clock, hitherto in_force. Workers' leave also is to be curtailed in the discretion of officials of the Pen- sion Office. In addition to some 4,000 individual bills passed by Congress, other changes were made in pension laws necessitating a widespread reorganiza- tion of the work in the Pension Office because of the liberalized measures favoring Civil War and Spanish War Veterans.

Chang expressed regret that foreign troops were coming to North China, because, he said, it showed the powers distrusted him, for which there was no ground. He again told of his old wish that the powers would help him, suggesting that Great Britain, the United States and Japan blockade the Yangtze River and assist the North militarily, diplomatically and politi- cally by applying pressure on the Russians on the northern borders. Denounces Bolshevism. Chang reiterated his unalterable hostility to bolshevism and commu- nism, declaripg: “I will never leave Peking alive while there is a Com- munist anywhere in control of affairs in China. I have received many tempt- ing advances from Southern leaders, including Chiang Kal Shek. (Chiang is generalissimo of the Nanking, or mod- erate, Nationalists). “I believe Chiang Kal Shek is op- posed to bolshevism, but I am - not completely convinced. To prove his sincerity, he must get rid of those Russians around him.” MRS.

Flying organizations in Europe feted the transatlantic flyer and airmen here thrught for a timeé that they would be entirely excluded from the opportunity of showering their praise and enthusiasm on Col. Lindbergh. Funds Called Sufficient. The finance committee today an- nounced that sufficient funds would be on hand to meet all expenses of the Lindbergh celebration and were espe- cially pleased that such a large num- ber of persons co-operated through small contributions in making up the needed amount. John Hays Ham- mond, chairman of the executive com- mittee, announced today that a contri- bution of $1.000 was received from Mrs. Emily Blaine McCormick, who wrote that as this is a national tribute, the people of Washington should not be the only contributors. Brig. Gen. Samuel D. Rockenbach, commanding the District of Washing- ton, who is grand marshal of the pa- rade, announced that all preparations and precautions have been made and that the military parade would be ready to start from the Peace Nonu- ment just as soon as word is received that Col. Lindbergh's party is leaving he Navy Yard. He guaranteed that the military forces under his command would give safe conduct to Col. Lind- burgh at all times during his stay here, Streets to Be Decorated. Gen. Stephan, in charge of deco- rations and fireworks, reported to the committee that not only all of the principal streets through which Col. Lindbergh will pass while here would be profusely decorated, but that very many homes throughout the capital also would fly flags for the occasion. Gen. Stephan also promised a spec- tacular feature in the fireworks dis- play and urged that after the offi- cial reception on the Monument Grounds the public should remain for the fireworks, which will occupy an hour and a quarter. The night fire- works will start as soon as it is suffi- ciently dark. The most picturesque feature of the fireworks Gen. Stephan said, would be the reproduction of Lindbergh's New York-to-Paris flight with a replica of the Satue of Liberty and of REiffel Tower with an airship passing from one to the other and a tableau effect when it has reached the Eiffel Tower. The committees in charge of the Lindbergh fete were notified today to report —at the Distrjct Buflding promptly at 10:15 tomorrow morning, to be assigned.places in the automo- biles going to the navy yard for the official reception.

Al other automobiles will be given park- ing space on the Fort Myer parade ground. Gen. Rockenbach also issued orders today that only 60 automobiles be al- lowed in the Walter Reed Hospital reservation Sunday afternoon when Lindbergh goes to visit the disabled veterans, Most of these cars will be used to take other disabled veterans from Mount Alto and the Naval Hos- pitals. Passes for these cars have been given to Maj. Gen. Amos A. department commander of the an Legion, who is in charge of X ises by the five major vet- n organizations. Provision for places of honor at the reception on the Monument Grounds for other famous aviators was made today on recommendation of the As- sistant Secretaries of War and Navy in charge of aviation. These include a seat for Capt. H. C. Richardson, who started on the transatlantic flight, and for Lieut.

Well Liked by Creéfv. Col. Lindbergh is regarded as a “réal good guy” by the members of the engineers’ force with whom he had “chow.” The young aviator was perfectly at ease, and the men were equally at home at the plain board table, chatting like a lot of boys on a holiday, He was inquisitive as to the life of a sailor, and the men were |eager to know about his wonderful | fight and the 1,36 hours he has | actually spent in the air. “Well, there were no formalities to speak of,” said Roxford Couch, en- gineman, of Lawrenceville, Ga., who has been in the Navy for 10 vears, talking of the meal to the corre- spondent of the Associated Press. “Lindy just walked down the passage. and crew being in- introtuced the 20 of us all around to the colonel, and the fun began.

As for the jamoke (coffee), he had three great big cups and several hunks of cake.” eve Splendid Reach at “Chow.” After the soup, the men agreed, Lindbergh began reaching with a splendid reach for the punk—the sail- ors’ name for bread. The men began asking questions about his trans- atlantic flight, but the guest gave modest answers and went into tech- nical details on questions put by the enginemen. “We wanted to know ahout the pro- posed Honolulu flight,” Couch contin- ued, “but Lindy wasi ing Into details about this, and coun- tered by asking ahout the men on watch, how they arranged the sched- ule so as to he able to ket hot chow, where they slept and how they liked life in the Navy.
