Bank Deposits in Wisconsin Show Gain During Year Total Now Approximately 21 Miffion More, Bank Department Says Madison Wh-Bank deposits in the 539 state banks in Wisconsin on Oct 20 were approximately more than at the same date last year, the state banking department announced today. The department attributed the increase in deposits to better business conditions and the federal insurance of bank deposits. The state banking department's call for the condition of all banks as of Oct. 20 revealed that the resources of the institutions were $360,858,903.50, as compared with $346,793,553.43 a year asc. The total deposits of the state banks at the time of the last call amounted to $292,982,001.41.

A year ago they were $271,859,604.51 and on June 30, 1934, the deposits were $283,838,225.34. Peter A. Cleary, H. F. Ibach and S.

N. Schafer, members of the banking commission, said the last report indicated that banking conditions are now better than they have been in Wisconsin for nearly a decade. The commission expressed the view, however, that many of the banks have too large a proportion of their assets in cash at the present time, and noted "a strong tendency" on the part of most banks to invest largely in government securities. Loans Encouraged "There is no necessity of such a large liquidity and the banking commissioners say that they are encouraging the banks to make loans on good security and in this way assist in a business recovery," a statement issued by the department said. The department said the increase in deposits was greater with banks in agricultural districts than with those in urban centers.

This may be partly attributed, the department said, to the fact that country banks are usually state banks and the larger banks in cities are national banks but added that it also shows farmers are making more money. "The increases are so large in the agricultural districts as to indicate clearly that the farmers are receiving a larger, return for their products and are materially enlarging their deposits," the statement said. The department said the banks now have a stronger financial structure than a year ago. The last report made by the banks showed that bills payable are only $818,047.93 in contrast with $15,441,008.50 in bills payable last fall. Some banks improved their financial structure through the sale of debentures to the federal government but many were able to retire their bills payable without government aid, the department said.

No girl lives Although the number of memberships is less than in 1933, Outagamie-co chapter of the American Red Cross has secured more money than last year, according to figures announced at a report meeting last night at the Y. M. C. A. Approximately 1,000 of the 1,500 members being sought in the city have been secured, it was announced, and the total prohably will be 1,200 when all reports are complete.

No new reports have been heard from the county district, which includes the cities of Seymour and Kaukauna and the various towns and villages. They are expected to report about 1,000 members. The chapter has been making a drive for larger contributions this year because all amounts over the national organization's per capita fee remain with the county unit for relief purposes in Jhis district.

The chapter handles border Jine and emergency relief cases where applicants have been unable t6 get relief from other agenices. Red Cross officers have asked all persons vho might wish to subscribe to the Red Cross, and who have been missed, to make their contributions at chapter headquarters in the Whedon-bldg. Forecast Return Of Cold Weather Rain, Turning to Snow, Expected in Appleton, Vicinity Thursday A quick return to wintry temperatures was forecast today for Appleton and vicinity and for the entire middle west. Rain will continue tonight and tomorrow, the weather bureau predicts and probably will turn to snow tomorrow when a decided drop in temperature is anticipated. Although the weather bureau predicted colder wea'ther as early as Sunday, mild temperatures accompanied by soaking rains have continued in the state for five days.

The rainfall, authorities point out, will do much to alleviate ravages of the summer's drought, since it has penetrated to the subsoil in many regions. Precipitation during the 24 hours prior to 9 o'clock this morning was .11 inch, according to power company records, but the downpour 'continued steadily after that. From a peak temperature of 55 degrees yesterday the mercury dropped only six degrees to 49 last night, the power company thermometers showed, and at noon today an instrument on the roof of the Post-Crescent building showed 57.

By J. A PANNECK Chiropractor and Author QUESTION: I am troubled with indigestion. I have tried practically everything with no results. Will Chiropractic Adjustments help me? Please answer thru your column. What is the cause of indigestion? Mrs.

J. G. L. ANSWER: Indigestion is a gen eral term which expresses a failure of the digestive apparatus to properly function. The fault may lie in the stomach, the small intesane, the colon, the liver or the pancreas.

In order to know what causes indigestion, we must first consider what causes digestion. Digestion is partly mechanical and partly chemical. Mechanically it consists of a churning and mixing of the food in the stomach and intestine with a' rhythmic forward propulsion duo to muscular contraction in the digestive tract. This muscular contraction is controlled through the nervous system. The chemical phase of digestion results from the secretion in the stomach, intestine, liver and pancreas.

If the secretions are abnormal, chemical digestion cannot be perfect. Here again the process is under the direct control of the nervous system. If the secretory nerves leading to the glands are cut, secretions cannot be formed. It is thefefore evident that both mechanical and chemical digestion are dependent on the nervous system. A spinal analysis will disclose the fact that this cause is nerve pressure which prevents the vital force from flowing freely and uninterruptedly to the stomach, in fact to all parts of the body.

When this nerve pressure is corrected by spinal adjustments the patient soon becomes welL I advise you to consult a Chiropractor.

Hopes for the future will be outlined to the nation in a radio address from the White House early next month. The president has definitely declared unemployment insurance a part of the administration program for next session. He has now to sell this to the states. The plan calls for federal supervision of state enacted and controlled insurance funds. The funds are to be "contributions" and not raised from taxes.

Today the president continued his talks with Governor Sholtz of Florida, who was asked to remain over and with Bibb Graves, governor-elect of Alabama. The latter is vitally interested In the federal subsistence homestead program. Philadelphia (J) Search for the kidnapers of William Weiss, night life character whose disappearance was kept secret by his family for 24 days, narrowed down to definite suspects today amid mounting fear that he was slain in default of $100,000 ransom. While 16 "ace" investigators of the United States Department of Justice combed the underworld for clues, R. George Harvey, justice department head here, disclosed he was following a definite trait Asked if he had any particular suspects in mind, he replied: "Yes, but I would rather not answer that question more fully at present.

"Considerable progress has been made and we have some general idea as to whom we are looking for." As to the growing belief that Weiss was killed by his "snatchers," Harvey would say only "that's something we always consider as a possibility in a kidnap case." Harvey answered the queries of newspapermen after conferring with Philadelphia Police Superintendent Joseph A. LeStrange to ask cooperation of city detectives early today. Two crack city men were assigned to the case, in which the federal men had been playing a lone hand since the mystery kid naping was first made known Sun day night. Underworld Case Yesterday J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the bureau of investigation, said at Washington it was an under world case and that he would take personal charge of it.

Fears that Weiss, who vanished outside his home on the" night of Oct. 26, had been slain by his ab ductors arose from the fact that his family had been without word from the kidnapers for two weeks. The last contact was on Nov. 6, when agents said a gruff voiced man called on the telephone and asked Mrs. Weiss if she "got the letter.

He hung up when she answered In the negative. A letter, believed by the family to have been written by Weissbut misaddressed, arrived a week later, Nov. 13. It contained Instructions on delivery of the ransom. Seized by Three Men Three men seized Weiss, 41, and father of three, at his attractive home in suburban Overbrook Hills and forced him into their automo bile on the night of Oct.

26, the federal men quote his family as saying. The abductioa, they said, was witnessed from an upper floor window by a Mrs. Johnson, employed by Weiss as a child's nurse. Just around the corner from the Weiss home is the former residence of Mickey Duffey, whose slaying in an Atlantic City hotel four years ago was said by detectives to be "undoubtedly a result of attempting to protect Weiss from other shake-downs." Reports that Weiss was associated with Max (Boo Boo) Hoff were discounted today. Hoff, now manag-ing'boxers on ten Pacific coast, denied- knowledge of Weiss affairs and scoffed at rumors he went west to escape the fate later visited on Weiss.

Teachers Meet in Green Bay Feb. 9 Executive Committee or Northeastern Association Plans Program Plans for the annual convention of the Northeastern Wisconsin Teachers association at Green Bay Feb. 9, will be outlined at a meeting of the association's executive committee at Conway hotel this evening.

16. Shawn Dancers Show Endurance Program Worth Seeing, Says Lawrence Football Coach That Ted Shawn and his group of athletic artists who will dance here Monday evening, Nov. 26, at Lawrence Memorial chapel, is un questionably worth seeing is the opinion of Percy O. Clapp, football coach at Lawrence college. Dancing and football at first thought seem as far apart as the proverbial poles, but no less a personage than Knute Rockne used it in all seriousness in his training.

Mr. Clapp, who knew Mr. Shawn and his former dancing partner, Ruth St. Denis, casually a number of years ago, recalled the positive masculine qualities of Shawn's dancing and the strength and endurance necessary for his remarkable performance. A compulsory class in dancing for freshmen and sophomores at the International Y.

M. C. A. college at Springfield, was conducted by Mr. Shawn last year.

In addition many upper-classmen were enrolled, including the, entire football squad. Chick Meehan's famous football squad at New York university used a military shift which he picked up from Shawn's stage dancing, not as is commonly supposed from the army. DEATHS LORENZ MAYER, SR.
