James M, Cox of Ohio last night urged ater localizing of resources and efforts toward overcoming the financial and social problems of the ay. He spoke before Dayton's Committee of 100, organized into what is claimed as the first purely community move- ment in support of President Hoover's program of relief measures. Mr. Cox said communities should not lean too much on the Federal Govern- ment, because they have much to do themselves and by doing it they can render the greatest possible assistance to the President. He described the frozen credit situation as a perplexing problem and outlined specific methods to be invoked as restoratives of con- fidence, He explained the mechanics of banks and building and loan asso- clations, with which, he said, the pub- lic was unfamiliar. ! Opposes Cash Hoarding. Discussing the frozen credit situation, the former Governor and 1920 Demo- cratic presidential candidate, suggested the communities can accomplish much by inducing people to stop hoarding money and added the future solvency of hundreds of banks is dependent en- tirely upon the mood and will of the public Turning to chain stores, chain the- aters and large corporations and their influence in the present economic scheme, former Gov. Cox said: “This i8 the worst disorder—not only the major disorder in Dayton, but the major disorder in the scattered com- munities of the country. It is the se- quence of a new economic order. * * * Mot of the chain stores and theaters deposit their balances locally every day and then tmmediately check them out to the large banks, principally in New York.

MONTE CARLO (N.ANA)—Juan- les-pins has had only two wet days in two months. and one of the last re- maining sun bathers of the Summer season is wearing muslin cuffs on her bare arms and anklets of china beads on her bare legs just as though all Riviera soclety were there to see her. Gambling is not what it was, and one casino manager was lately in despair ‘when one of his best clients, an English widow, was suddenly seen no more at the tables, Inquiry evoked the startling revelation that the inveterate gambler, had turned mystic and spent all her time brooding over and probing into the secrets of the future. So the manager interviewed with some eloquence the widow's clairvoyant, who subsequently warned her customer that she would be ill-advised to spend the hours from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. in soli- tude. Now the lady has returned to the green-cloth tables for the duration of the danger hours and the casino man- ager is all the happler. (Coprrisht, by the North Amerizan ‘Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)
