On July 7, 1915, the members of the Times staff gave a dinner to cele- brate the 40th anniversary of Mr. Mil- ler's service on the paper. On that occasion Adolph Ochs, publisher and president of the Times paid the fol- lowing tribute to the editor: “He began service in the editorial department on July 7, 1875 and has been solely thus occupied since that day, having written for the Times during that time approximately what would make 1,000 volumes of 10,000 words each; and what he has written has stamped out work with character and permitted us to exercise power and influence among intelligent, thoughtful people throughout the world; distinguished our opinions as of the highest order of honest, sound reasoning, of the best literary style and of the loftiest patriotism.” Carr V. Van Anda, managing edi- tor said of him: “After graduation from Dartmouth, he spent three years in the office of the Springfield Republican, one of'the group of able young men drawing in- spiration from Samuel Bowles, and, in return, helping to promote the fame of that distinguished journalist. Then he joined the staff of the New York Times on that day, 40 years ago, the anniversary of which we now com- memorate. “During, the eight years that pre. ceded his ascession to his present post, Mr. Miller was variously occu- pled; for a time as editor of the Times, again as a copy reader; brief- ly as an art critic and lastly as an editorial writer, showing in that work immediately the capacity that led to his selection for his present post.” BIBLE CLASS MEETS Members Plan To Go To Platnville Camp Meeting Friday, July 28— Other Business Transacted.

Portland, Me,, July 19.—The great- est increase in the membership of building and loan assoclations ever recorded in a year was reported for last year by H. F. Cellarius of Cin- cinnati, secretary of the U. 8. League of Local Building and Loan associa- tlons at'the annual meeting of the lcague today. Eight hundred forty-seven thous- and ney members were enrolled in the United Btates last year, he said, an increase of more than 17 per cent. The total membership now numbers 5,800,888, Total resources of these wssoclations are $2,800,764,621, or an increase for the year of $370,809,609 or nearly 15 per cent, The housing shortage has not been relleved, although bullding associ- ations have been drawn upon to the fullest for home loans for these pur- poses. Unfortunately unemployment caused a greater volume of withdraw- als than ordinary, and this reduced the amount applicable for mortgage loans. During 1926 the bullding as- sociations loaned $770,000,000 for home buying or home owning pur- poses, but last year only about $693,- 000,000 of their funds could be thus invested.
