While there are 948 ministers of the denomination in this country, 191 ehurcheés are without rectors because | of the large number of clergymen | needed for school and home mission | activities, and work of the denomina- | tional boards and agencies, it was ex- plained.

Newsboys, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are being organized as an army to help the visitors to find their way about the city. HELLO GIRLS HAYE T0 ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS English Telephone Girls Have Added Burdens to Thelr Large String of Duties, London, Sept. 21.—Pity the poor English telephone girls! They are supposed to be able to tell people what the weather will be like. In this, their newest duty, perhaps they will receive a sigh or two of sym- pathy from the operators of switeh- boards fn America who for many years bore the suffering of having subseribers ring up to ask ‘““What time is it, please? My clock has stopped.” Not long ago the post office, which owns all the telephones {n Great Brit- ain, arranged with the ajr ministry to supply each exchange with daily forecasts of the weather in its vi- cinity. The first month this infor- mation was avallable to subscribers 10,172 persons called up to find out if it was going to rain. Of course it usually was, the way of British weatl- er being a wet one. In London most of the inquiries were made on Fri- days and Saturdays. This was taken to mean that the only time people really care about climate over jere is when théy are set for an outing. The rest of the time they cannot be bothered, let the fogs fall where they may. Besides it is cheaper not to care. The post office ‘is not giving away tips on the weather for the mere fun of it. Those who get such informa- tion from ‘Central” must pay twoé- pence, the cost of a régular city call. Hardly anyone troubles to ring up and find out the time. Maybe min- utes do not mean so much in this easy-going land as in the suppusedly “snappy” United States. FINDS BUSINESS DEAD IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA Offers No Golden Future For the American Business Man Ac- cording to Visitor. ,nndg Sept. 21.—South Russia at presefit offers no golden opportun- ities for American business men, ac- cording to John H. Lang, of Seattle, who recently passed through this his way home after 18 months in Odessa and other Black Sea ports, where he was in charge of port operations for the American Re- Iief administration. “There is practically no trade on the Black Sea,” said Mr. L.ang. “Lvena Greek and Armenian traders Hhave given up in despair, and everyone who knows the Black Sea realizes that when these traders find unsurmount- able obstacles to commerce, there something serious the mat- ter. “The new economic policy of the| Soviet was heralded as a long ex- pected loosening of government econ trol, and when it was inaugurated more than a year ago the people had great hopes that a new era dawning in communistic Russia. But | such hopes were soon dashed. “After shopkeepers had their stores with what little they could get, they found that stocks ness impogsible for shopkeepers, for importers and exporters alike.” | Harvest prospects in South Russia | are excellent, according to Mr. Lang, | who said that nobedy in Russia should g6 hungry this winter.

Babson, the statisticlan, propeses to- day, In & statement on the investmept value of savings acoounts “Why is It that peeple differentiate between bank accoupts invest- ments Is more than 't compre- hend,"” says Mr, Babson, “"Apparently men and women feel that the money which they have In thb banks is not ‘invested.' They seem to think of it @8 tied up In bage in the vault of the bank, The fact 1s that Just as soen as you deposit a dollar in the bank, that dollar s loaned by the bank to some one to bulld a heme, or to huy mer- chandise ,or is used for the purchase of bonds, When these bonds are bought, the money is still used by the company issuing the bonds,~-perhaps for the developing of a water power or the buying of rallroad equipment or some other equally useful purpose, Therefore, money deposited in a bank Is Invested just ag truly as any other money, The main difference Is that it 18 Invested by some one with experi- ence and training instead of by one who may know little of financial mat. ters, “Bank accounts have all the ad- vantages of the most attractive in. vestments. Among these may be men- | tloned the following three: (1) Bank sceounts are safe, Statisties would probably show that smaller losses come from bank accounts than from any other field of investmend (2) Bank accounts are very liquld-—that Is to say, we can quickly get our money at any time, Other forms of ihvestment may be ‘permanent’ in- vestments. Many of them are so permanent that they cannot be liquidated when desired. (3) Bank accounts offer a good opportunity for speculative profit. This may seem a strange statement but let us examine it “The real opportunities to make money are through chances that come to take partnerships, to make sptelal purchases or to do other things, which, if undertaken, often bring suc- cess. One never can tell when these ome to each of us two or three times in the course of our llves. They al- most require a certain amount of cap- jtal. Perhaps the new posman offered means working for less than'a living wage for a while. Perhaps it means taking a year or more for travel or study. The man with a bank account can finance the venture but the man without a bank account cannot. Therefore, I say that a bank account offers an epportunity for speculative profit hecause it puts one in & position to mak ea big profit when the eppor- tunity comes. “I espeelally emphasize the import. ance of bank accounts at the present time because many people have not inereased thelr bank accounts ma- terially since the low prices of tén years ago, For a greal many years prices ran along & eertain level and | people got inte the habit of earrying about so mueh In thelr savings count and a eertain amount in th checking account, All business men, from the large manufacturers to the humblest retallers, feit that & bank acoount of a eertain slze was about | what he should earry and he has held the same idea up to the present time, Yet, during the past ten years, prices have Increased from fifty to a hundred or more per cent, according to the| commodity considered, Taking into; consideration all factors entering into the cost of llving, the dollar of ten years ago is worth only about cents today, As prices inerease we should increases our bank accounts t correspond, We t&ke out Increaspd in- surance today on a building which was bullt ten years ago even though it was then insured for all it cost, The | fact In that the cost of bullding has gone up and if we had a fire we would have to rebulld at much higher prices. | Therefote, we insure not on the basls | of the most of ten years but on the basis of replacement as of today, It seents to me that we should follow the | same principle regarding accounts, “One great trouble with’business today is the amount of money being wasted on things of only temporary valus and the small proportionate our bank . amount which is being “banked’ for ¢ things of mora permanent value, This is one reason why the Babsonchart has again so radically declined, stand- ing today at 10 per cent below normal compared with 9 per cent above nor- mal-in February. Just as things got better around the first 6f the year, people again careless, bank deposits fell off and the safety valve began to let off steam, Increased bank balances would help start business up toward normal again,” - RISE. IN BANK RATE London, England.—The Bank of England has stimulated saving by al- lowing a raise in minimum rates of discount from 3 to 4 pér cent. This permitted the clearing banks to in- crease interest allowed on deposits from 1 to 2 per cent, "X FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1928, Late Empress Eugenie's Effects Bring $10,000 Londen, Sept, 31-—Members of Eng- [land's oldest and Bighest families siood With almost tesrful eyes whea ihe once priceless effects of the late Empress Eugeale of Prance were sold d hammer at ridieviously small prices, but still be: poverished burses.
