But, as we said before, no one is ‘going to lie awake nights worrying, | the company has to furnish us with ' @ more concrete example of the bene- fits that we have derived from . its Proad and benign influence in the past. Possibly if it removed all of the trolleys we should eventually be the better off.

Ayres, director of the savings | division ot the First Federal Reserve | district, makes public a statement showing the comparative savings of the people of New England, by states, during war times and before. Im commenting thereon he calls atten- tion to the fact that savings bank deposits made a great increase during th> war period. In Connecticut, in the year 1917, $400,305,995 was on deposit in sav- ings banks. In 1921 there were $485,- 381,697 in the banks, an increase of $85,075,702 or 18 per cent. In the increase in savings deposits Con- necticut ranks tied for second place with its 18 per cent. Rhode Island also has 18 per cent. and Massachu- setts 19. The report states that, in addition to selling more than a billion in sav- ings bonds and stamps, the habit of making bank deposits has been great- ly encouraged by the steady pounding at the need for thrift through ad- | vertisements and “missionary” meet- ~ ings in public places. The hoardea . wealth of the country, the money in . tea kettles, stockings, etc., is estimat- ed at one billion M@llars. While cash 48 sorely need 1 and high rates pre- S vail there is still a billion dollars hid- " den away, receiving no interest and " doir nothing to expand credit. This is a dcplorable fact, but there is cheer in the knowledge that the populace {1 lcarning the usages of savings banks and is less inclined to hoard than before. It was regarded as a patriotic duty, during the war, to purchase govern- nt securities and stamps. Thus the relief to many that they now have the money in the bank. True they may be withdrawing a part of it to support themselves in dull times but that very faco impresses upon them the need of putting aside a certain amount during good times. ment securities arc Keeping many from starvation. When #¢imes be- come normal again it is certain that the man who works will put aside a part of hir income against the possi- bla advent of a rainy day to himsels or a nationzl depression. This is what he has learned. The possessor of cash today is in a Pposition to realize upon what ha has saved, as cash is at a premium. Un- lesd h: has a surplus he is unwiso to invest heavily, to go beyond his meana ag the depression is not over. But t is certain that investments in almost any healthy concern will yield hand- some returns in tho lons run. Pur- chasera of stock should assurs them- selves that their concerns are healthy betore buying. There are many whosa stock is sclling way below value because some previous holder has fallen into difficulties and is clear- ing out hia holdings. However, the man, that can point out the bottom of a depression or the top of & wave ol affluence is a wizard indeed. He need not worry for a source of livelihood. Some of us are lucky and guess the top and the bot- tom, but rot every time. Most of us have to bo satisfied with buying or selling with a margin of losa befora we begin tc see gain. If the hoarders of money can be convinced that the bringing forth of their hidden wealth will mean more to them and to the world than it does at present a part of our difficulties will be solved. A billion dollars in the cash market to- day would help tremendously. These same hoarders must deposit in sav- ings banks or buy government secur- ities, however, the mere fact that the cash has been hoarded is proof that they are unable to cope with the financia! situation with sufficien: knowledge to invest in various con- cerna.

Many of the iittle places in New York once closed will not reopen. The cream of the business has been skimmed from the top, moving pictures henceforth will not be as paying as they once were. However, the closing of the small} houses and failure of some of the film companies who depend upon thesej small houses for their support may mean that the general chacter of screen presentations will be considerably im- proved, that larger theaters with cost- lier and more artistic productions will spring to the fore. Prices need not be increased appreciably, the greater seat- ing capacity will take care of the added expense. ‘We may benefit much from the disap- pearance of some of the nigh on,to depraved pictures that have been shown about the country.

FACTS AND FANCIES — BY ROBERT QUILLEN Whatever Sims may need, a press agent. it isn't We shed tears because the ultimate consumer pays for everything, and overlook the fact that he also con- sumes everything. Merchant fleets cause international complications, also. Why not scrap them ? The most annoying thing about poverty is the fact that other peopie are rich. The waste of war will appear doubly horrible if it turns out to be a wasted war. If Congress wishes to encourage the buying public, it might monetize tax receipts. - One sign of returning normalcy is that the hotel clerks no longer seem offended when you ask for a room. The hardest part of the Irish ques- tion to wundertsand is why America thinks it her business. A physician says red soothes the nerves. It doesn't have that effect on Dawes if it is tape. When England and Ireland finally make peace, some poor committee will have an awful time making a list of the atrocities. Idealists are always surprised when the end of a war finds the world equipped with the same old amount of human nature. Germany is doubtless wishing that she had paid a little less attention to the goose step and a little more to the side step. It seems strange that a nation capa- ble of licking Germany should lie on its back and howl in the face of a little business depression. 25 YEARS AGO (From The Herald of That Date.)

The Stanley Works will shut down tomorrow night and not resume work When you feel dll shaken up, it is probably flivver complaint. An inspired compositor speaks of an ‘“arsonal” in Ireland. Probably a place where the matches are stored. It is all very well to talk about honofing the mained doughboys, but honor won’t pay board and doctor bills. The next war may be won by chem- ists, as the experts say; but as usual the belligerents will ask God to win it for them. —_—— i The only'thrilling experience in the | lives of some men is finding a dime in an old pair of pants.

Lights and Shadows By John J. Daly - IF YOU WERE HERE. If you were here I would not care For envied treasures, old and rare, With you beside me, life should be As tranquil 5 a Summer sea When June is in the air. The skies would grow forever fair, And I would always seem to see A trace of far-off Arcady If you were here. The golden glory of your hair Would make the Lorelei despair; Would cause an humble soul like me To scale the heights of ecstasy And tell you,—but I wouldn’'t dare If you were here.
