Present day banks are progressive, and there is no limit to the service they would render. Their common motto is "Courtesy, Safety and Service." The differences between national anl State banks, as we see them today, was said to be unimportant, all having practically equal powers. The Federal Reserve System, cf which most of the banks of the East arc members, was said to be the great balance wheel during the war, without which it would have been impossible to have floated successfully the five Liberty Loans, which went over the top in a wonderful way. The Federal Reserve System lends great stability to the banking structure of the country. Hz flexibility and elastic currency is one of its essential features, so that it would be difficult to understand how it would be possible to suffer a panic as was instanced in 19C7.

The country is divided into twelve Federal Reserve districts, each with its own bank a part of the system. The Lank at York is the largest in the system, with many thousand checks going through it every day. The element of credit, it was explained, plays an important (Continued on paga 13) "The Business Man and His Bank," the subject of the address mafje by F. Irving Walsh, secretary riainfield Trust Company, last night, at the Tark Hotel before the Lions Club, in their regular supper meeting, introduced a most interesting and enlightening talk and held the closest attention of those present during the period of its delivery. Much information new to even business men was imparted, and the matter of banking will be the more fully appreciated on the part of these who heard.

"Banking and business are so closely allied and interwoven." said the speaker, "that one without the Cher would be quite impossible. Certainly one would be unprofitable without the other. The successful business man appreciated all the functions of his bank and makes free use of them. A successful bank must have an aggressive policy, a broad vision, a sou: but liberal credit, and the service it offers to its depositors must be a distinctly friendly service." In the old-time bank, the speaker continued, the depositor was largely a supplicant for favor. If lie was permitted to open an account or obtain a loan, it was a courtesy extended to him.

The element of credit had not become a vital part of bank operations. The granting of loans was not a study on the Philadelphia. Aur. 27 (United concession on the John prudent Min'- Workers, by a -pok man for ff.r further netotta- 'whirl', may delay of v. iiling to re- v.i, toui fe'll 1 c.

CLOSE ON CHINESE HOWARD CAPTORS Native Soldiers Seek American Doctor Who Was Spirited Away By RANDALL GOULD United Press Staff Correspondent Peking, Aug. 27.

French Finance Minister Caillaux. went back to Paris today, apparently jubilant at the terms of the tentative debt settlement he had achieved in his conferences with British Chancellor of the Exchequer Winston Churchill. These terms, which in effect put up to America the question of giving France lenient treatment on her U. S. debt, will be submitted to a special meeting of tho French Cabinet.

That France will accept is deemed certain. Any dissatisfaction in France over the arrangement to pay for the period of ti 2 years, au annuity of about $62,500,000, will probably be allayed by the fact that Caillaux recived indications in "the city" (London's Wall street), that he could obtain British credits to tide the Bank of France ov its momentary financial trouble. Some French critics hold Britain has not been liberal, though she came down from the original claim of $100,000,000. France, by accepting would have to raise her original offer only by little more than $12,000,000 a year. The outstanding factor in the situation, however, is the atti AUTGISTS AGREES ADJUST DAMAGE Charges of Reckless Driving Against Isaac Reper, of Elisabeth, Dismissed Isaac Reper, of 27 0 West field avenue, Elizabeth, came beforo Judge DeMeza iu the City Court, this morning, to answer a charge of reckless driving, and causing an accident on East Seventh street, near Woodland avenue, on Thursday morning, August 20, when an automobile he was driving ran against a horse and wagon, driven by Edward Ryno, of Raritan road, Scotch Plains Township, who was accompanied by his wife.

Both Ryno and his wife were thrown off the seat of the wagon, and went to Muhlenberg Hospital for treatment. Mr. Ryno informed the court this morning that according to an estimate lie had obtained, it would cost $4 0 to repair the damages te his' spring platform wagon, which Judge DeMeza thought was too high. Mr. Ryno then said that he would be willing to have Reper secure an estimate from some other wheelwright.

He also id that he would like to be reimbursed for hospital expenses. Judge De-Mesa advised Mr. Ryno that he try to settle the matter with the autoist, explaining that the court' had no jurisdiction in this matter. Motorcycle Patrolman James Brown, who investigated the accident, stated that it was caused by a defect in the steering wheel of Reper's car, which prevented him from avoiding a collision. Reper said that he was insured, and that he believed a satisfactory adjustment for the damages could be-made.

The charge of reckless driving was Plains and way and means to have them removed have been discussed. A local ordinance prohibits the placing of risns of any nature on trees along the highways, but. has been disregarded by many persons who apparently do not know that such an ordinance is in force in this community. Mr. Hatfield said that the Board of Freeholders will probably name a shade tree commission of three members the first part of next year.

Members of this commission will serve without compensation, but they will hire an expert to care for trees. The commission, it is understood, will have the authority to order the removal of all signs on trees, other than those placed there for the benefit of the trees. John Z. Hatfield, Scotch Plains member of the Union County Board of Freeholders, announced yesterday that the Board -will take action in the near future to have all advertising signs removed from trees along the county highways through the appointment of a county shade tree commission, which will have jurisdiction over trees adjoining the highways. Efforts have been made to have municipal authorities take the matter in hand, and adopt plans to compel persons responsible for the advertising signs to remove them, but many signs are still found along county thoroughfares.

The riuestion of advertising rigns on trees along the public highways has been informally considered by the township committee, of Scotch Fire Svcct ihe Business Section of Hightstcvn, N. J. Hightstown. Aug. 27 (United Press).

Fire swept the business section here early today, levelling a rovv of two-story buildings, and doing damage estimated at $100,000. The fire started in a hardware store, and was fed by varnish and oils. It raced through the structure to a filling station next door, which exploded. Firemen from three cities were called out before the blaze was extinguished. OXFORD THEATRE mm sept.

DELIGHTFUL HOUR FOIERW00D HOME Philip Su (fern Gave Fine lilmirated Talk and Told About Caraping The children at the Netherwood Summer Heme enjoyed a delightful hour last evening, when Phillip S. Suffern gave an interesting talk on "Shining for Jesus." By means of a match, flashlight and taper, Mr. Suffern explained how the boys and girls could best shine in their play, in t2ir school life and at home, and how their young lives, like the taper, could be used to brighten the pathway of otht rs. Sometimes, continued the speaker, bad habits and unkind words prevent us from shining as Jesus intended we should shine; this truth illustrated by means of a lantern with a chimney so covered with smoke as to furnish a very dim light.

Other people look at our lives, said Mr. Suffern. to determine how well we reflect the image of Christ, and in order to brighten the lives of others, we need to have hearts filled with the pure sunlight of the love of Jesus, and this is made possible by prayer. Mr. Suffern told the children about a camp In the Adirondacks where he had spent some time this summer.

He described the fishing trips, deer-hunting and other phases of camp life, to all of which the children listened with eager interest. Two solos by F. Kcebel added to the interest of th' evening, namely, "Lord, I believe," and 'Only a Sinner Saved by Grace." Anna Almasy led the children in the recital of their memory verses. Mrs. Paul Dennis accompanied the singing and also rehearsed a number of the children in several songs which will form a part of the program on Sunday.

After long and questioning, he broke down and confessed, admitting he htd asphyxiated the woman with a deadly dental gas, and entombed the body in a concrete cistern in the basement or his cabin in Beverly Glen. Subsequently Dr. Y'oung repudiated his confession and engaged attorneys to defend him. He pleaded not guilty and went to trial August 17. A defense of.

insanity was prepared, and it wai planned to e-stablish, if possible, that Mrs. Y'oung was not murd( red with dental anaesthetic, but had asphyxiated herself with gas fumes from her automobile. The dentist during the trial maintained an apparent composure throughout. He registered complete confidence in the outcome of his fate. In the few words he uttered during the proceedings and to cell-mates, he was unusually philosophical concerning the trial.

"Fate has been against me thus far. Who knows? It's probably, my turn next," he said yesterday after a day in court. Dr. Y'oung, weeks before Le went on trial, was examined by a battery of State alienists and pi o-nouneed sane. His e.ttornej?.

The world has long labored under the mistaken belief that the law of the "survival of the fittest" in the human kingdom is the law of the survival of the strongest, physically and mentally, and that physical and mental strength must be selfishly exercised.

City Court Turns Over to City Treasury Approximately $10,000 Annually and $5,000 to State Los Angeles, Aug. 27, (United Press) Dr. Thomas W. Y'oung, confessed "scientific murderer" of his wife, committed suicide by strangling himself with a wire in his cell in the county jail here shortly after 6 a. m.

today. Jail attendants, hearing a commotion in the cell, arrived just as the last spark of life flickered from the body of the eccentric wife-slayer. The accused dentist had been waging a tiesperate battle for his life in Superior Court here. He was accused of slaying his wealthy society wife by dental gas, and burying her body in a cistern in the basement of his cabin in Beverly Glen. The slayer, throughout last night, questioned jail guards about "the time of night." At 6 o'clock this morning one of the guards gave the "court call" to the dentist.

Five minutes later the prisoner had twisted a radio wire around his neck, fattened it to a tar in the cell, and strangled himself to death. Jail physicians pronounced him dead at 6:30 a. m. Dr. Young's suicide brings a premature end to one of California's most sensational murders.

The dentist was arrested early in June, after four months' search for his wealthy and beautiful wife, who disappeared mysteriously after a roadhouse drinking party.
