'■ SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITS IN CREASE. “Prodigal America” and “extrava- America” are expressions often. _ heard and often warranted, but the .- American citizen is not wasting all of .gdiis honey at that. We arc spending for radios, automobiles, mov fting pictures and other things that did ] not tempt the average man and worn* '£an a few years ago, yet we are sav ';ing more than any generation of Am* • ericans in history. During the year American people saved $2,000,000,000 iriore than they did in 1024. Savings bank accounts increased >;this amount during the year, reaching vthe record total on March 15 of ap proximately $25,000,000,000 a<jloni sing to Treasury figures. Reduced to » .percentages, the figures disclose that > American thrift increased about nine per cent, during the year. ;> These figures indicate that the an * nual income of the American people &from savings bank deposits is approx imately $750.000.000 —and ncrease of ‘i $60,000,000 for the year. 'is And Treasury officials declared that material increase is in pros £peet for 1026. The result is that the United has probably a greater surplus cash than the rest of the world according to officials, f The increase in savings accounts] during 1925 was particularly uote eworthy coupled with the investment .’of a Mini nearly three times as large ffitplneed in foreign and domestic indus jltry. Officials declared that probably 90 j>er cent, of the funds invested last i'.year went into productive business f promising a greater per dollar in 's come in 1926. Productive investments last year were featured by $1,496,000 used in public utilities developmcnet. The .- great iuerease in the denimand for j: electrical power was chiefly respon sible for the heavier investment in this /.field. cjE, Building const ruction. requiring of $715,000,000, doubled the p 1924 expenditure and aeeording to figures for 11*26 another Ifrecord breaking year is in prospect.

Textile manufacturers of the East have. gone to Henry Ford for counsel and encouragement. Following per iods of depression in their chosen vo cation, the manufacturers see condi tions becoming more acute all the time, primarily because of Southern competition. Answering the appeal of the Asso ciated Industries of New England, Mr. Ford has consented to lend his personal efforts and staff toward “Fordizing” the manufacturing indus tries of New England. “Fordize New England if you want ta save her manufacturing industries from the competition of the New- South,” was the advice given in the early part of the week by E. A. Fil ene, Boston's largest merchant, and acted upon by the Associated Indus tries. The Detroit manufacturer, stopping at his recently acquired property. Wayside Inn. at Sudbury, just south of Boston, consented to review the New England situation and follow ing a conference with a representative 1 committee declared that mass produe- i tion and mass distribution as best ex-: emplified by his own factories would solve the problem of New England in- 1 (lustries. “What w r e have done with our De troit factories can be done by New' England industries and will save your manufacturers from the indus trial activities of the New South,” de clared Mr. Ford. “Your New England industries need mass production and mass distribu tion. These factors are accountable for the remarkable growth of the South industries as displayed in the • Carolinas.” Mr. Ford, characterized as the great est producer of all time, will devote his personal time -and that of his production staff to the originating of a committee of New England manu- ' faiturers during the month of April. PROrOSE TO REVIVE INTEREST IN SPEAKING Newton Teachers Think Too Much Emphasis Is Placed on Athletics. Newton, March 19. —At a recent meeting of the So lino! Masters Club, D. .7. Whitener chairman, the fol lowing motion was adopted: “Believing that declaiming and re citing are very important and highly beneficial; that there is too much em phasis placed on county athletic ac tivities in comparison to tire place given the almost forgotten art of pub lic sneaking: that the best way to encourage declaiming and reciting is to have a county-wide contest: that the winners in the final contests should be awarded appropriate prize s; that the School Master Club go on record as favoring the declama tion and recitation contests.” It was decided to have two sepa rate declamation and recitation con tests, one for the grammar grades and one of the high school depart ment. • The time of these contests will be announced later, the preliminaries will probably come about the last k>f this month. The Georgia Peach Crop "Killed" Again. Monroe Enquirer. Report is to the effect that 40 to 50 per cent, of the Georgia peach crop has been killled by the recent cold weather. I cannot recall a single year that the Georgia peach crop has not been "killed” at least half a dozen times. Still each succeeding season many hun dreds of cars of Elbert as. Hileys, May Queens and other kinds of peaches are shipped east to the large cities. It is said that 90 per cent, of the Georgia peach crop was in bloom last week. One million more trees this year are coming into bearing, and over the crop was been destroyed, more production has been feared. If half profit will accrue in the end to the peach gioners. One of the earliest observations of the generation of static electricity was made in 1759 when a Mr. Sytnner found that his stockings had a ten dency to fly together when lie took them off. Sauce For The Goose rHERE is almost no meat or pod try that is not improved by the accompaniment of a tart fruit tauce. Chief of these is applesauce. Without it the goose would lose mud* >f its popularity. As for pork—de wtved of applesauce, it would be like i story without a point Provided it is made of rather sour ippies, applesauce is excellent with fuck, chicken or even turkey. It is the handiest possible sauce for the housewife, since it is now put up in ready-to-serve farm, thus saving her much time and labor.

I In a signed statement sent to Th( j Charlotte Observer Sunday Dr. Thom ! as 1.. Estep, of Stratford. Alleghany 1 county, announced his “independenl ! candidacy" for Congress. Mr. Dough 1 ton has represented the eighth dis t trict for a number of years, i In his statement Dr. Estep gave | some indication of what he is ex ; pccted to stress in the campaign. He j said he does not like prohibition and 1 the 18th amendment, nor the present i system of taxation, j The doctor goes further. Admit | ting that he is a physician he adds a I word of criticism to the “unjust sys i tem of the medical practice rules and regulations by the will of the special -1 privileged medical society and its pri | vatc hoard of examiners.” The statement of Dr. Estep, sent 1 to The Observer and addressed also to the Associated Press, reads as fol lows : t “With faith in the Jeffersonian principles of democracy carried on by Jackson and Lincoln, I declare my independent candidacy from the eighth district of North Carolina to i the United States Congress. “It seems to me. as a life-long Democrat, that the Democratic party should be democratic one hundred per cent, in action, as name applies, and that our government should be shorn of the grips of wealth and oligarchy. "There can be no righteous excuse for a system of taxation or of tax reduction that accords to (fie rich and to tlm privileged, of wealth-possessed, relief and immunities that- are denied to the poor, to those who toil and on whose very will the, government rests. "There can be no excuse for the continuance of the unjust system of the medical practice rules and regula tions. by the will of the special-priv ileged medical society and its private board of examiners for the public in the state and in their own ititeresr. that secures to some the doctor’s aid and relief, with protection; and privi leges. health and life, that are dehied to the victims of neglect, the helplesfi sick and distressed dying whom North Carolina permits to rry unheard. "Give us repeal of the 'liberty de stroying prohibition amendment put over by force and intimidation and stup tlte intemperance and the perse cution resulting by the will of the immoral and despotic Volet eadism, oppressing the poor and corrupting the l'iih.

(Continued) She laughed, gully but aU ehe •aid wax, “Heaps!” After awhile •he added, “But we mustn't rem inisce, Teddy. It may transpire that some day I shall have nothing left but reminiscence. If that hap pens, HI want them all saved up. You'll be one of the best of them.” He caught her hand, when she rose, and held her. She did not draw away, but stood quietly, her eyes meeting his. She was so dose to him that he felt the Bawntfa and tenderness of her, and that die was almost breath tens. Ftor one brief instant his brain went into a riot and he was 4ixxy. When his head cleared he felt her crushed against him, and realized that it was his own arms that were holding her there, hold ing her so tightly that already her Mpe were paling. He would have dropped his arms and released her hut she caught them, and let him understand that she was yielding. She was even holding her pale lips to him. When, at last, she stirred, he kissed her again, and then freed her. Before she drew back She said to him: “1 would like to love you, Teddy, and if I could, I would. No one has ever said so fine a thing to me as you have—that you'd not only want me hut take me how ever I . am. That is so different than being told that I'm wanted but mustn't be had! I’ll remember ft, whatever happens.” Before they reached the gates of the Villa Amctte grounds Joanna brought up his threat to do the •Porting thing with Kenilworth. ‘Td rather you'd not tell him that 1 know what has been in the past between him and Yvonne.” she said. "It hasn't Interested me at all. you know ” Somehow, Teddy thought, it did interest her. He was foolishly hit ter about it, and resentful, which he didn’t have a chance to show, however, because they were turn ing into the villa path and Joanna, with, a flirt of her crop, broke into a final gallop toward the stables. Dorminster had all the English man’s love for fine horses. He sel dom returned for a ride with Jo anna, and these rides through the fragrant beauty of the Riviera hills were as frequent as she would grant, that he did not watch, the grooms rub down their horses! amd perform the countless little: services which the British stable master finds as necessary to his! charges as are the administra tions of a watchful maid to the : grooming of her dainty mistress. Both of the steeds they had rid den. that morning had been his 1 gifts to the Golden Girl, brought from the stables in Sussex he had: inherited with his other fortunes.l ft was significant of him that while Roddy Kenilworth showered her with things made from diamonds! at every excuse for a gift that presented itso'.f, and while Bran-' don, with a finer sense, found rare bits of bijoutiere for her delight.i Teddy had made it horses, with* exquisite trappings coming along in periodical installments.. Joanna left him among the grooms, after an affectionate and appreciative rub at her steed's nose. Martha, who had caught the echoes of the gallop through the bridle path of Villa Ainette had tern led out from the house with a soft cape tor her mistress' shoulders, but Joanna waved her away and turned in among the beds of gorgeous pansies and French violets which lined the walk on either side up to a glistening white summer house, a miniature of the Fetfte Trianon of Versailles. This spacious summer house, with its broad porches and crystal win dows was famous along the Ri viera in legends more or loss ro mantic. When the grounds of Villa Amette were thrown open to some exotic revel the house in the “Amette Trianon" was the center oC bizarre festivities. From its porches one might look along far stretches of the deep blue Mediter ranean. and weave many idle fan cies about the snake-like ships coming in from Suez or stealing along to Corsica. Joanna dropped onto a step be neath the window and, with her customary trick of pulling up her knees and resting her chin In them, fen into a profound study. She did not notice when her riding crop slid from her listless fingers, nor when Martha, who had been Observing her, came across the lawns and stubbornly spread the cape, which was heavy enough to baffle the always cool sea breezes, around her slim shoulders Os what Teddy had said to her only one thing hurt a bit. The talk among that circle of butter flies and butterfly hunters which make up the gay. colony of gam- Were—-gamblers in love of one Und or another as well ae in money of the only kind —that cred ited her with deliberately "steal ing” from Yvonne, one by one, that rich company of devotees -whose constant hanging on about her had classified them as her own particular army of serviceable gal lants.

All of these had made a corral of her own treasure chest and had climbed Into It, each with his separate manner, and separate intent. Yet Yvonne had never revealed the slightest gesture of concern. Icdced, there were times when Jo anna fancied that she gloried In the fickleness of her satellites. It was almost as If she deliberately invited it. And, then, there were other times. Joanna reflected, when she had surprised the wear iness in the dense black eyes of the woman who had been, from her perspective, the ideal pattern "John lrmldnt have me then,” she uaui simply —"1 doubt 1/ he’d want me now." in the minds of Miss Twenty-seven and her excessively modern kind, Joanna had become so accus tomed to riddles that she wouldn't fight them too long when they per sisted in baffling her. A quick, nervous shrug of her shoulders was the sign that whichever way tilings wont they'd get to where they were going anyway. She reached for her riding crop which lay at her feet. While she was clasping dt she was conscious of voices that floated out from the rose hung window just above her. She would have called out mer rily, for one of the voices was that of Yvonne, but one word pierced her brain as sharply as a sudden shcek. Yvonne was say ing—John! Her mind just escap ing from the thrall of her reverie, it was caught and held again. Jo anna was totally unconscious for a time, that she was listening. Yvonne was saying: “I don't Imagine his coming will make much of a difference. If he tedd her of this visit, or if she knew of it, she has not mentioned it. I doubt if she knows. It isn’t a thing she would be secretive about.” The other voice was Brandon’s: "Nevertheless he will have to he reckoned with. She hasn’t seen him since she left America, and the situation is changed now, John Wilmore isn't the fumbling pauper student he was a year ago. He's aroused the popular enthusiasm. He is sufficient of a celebrity to he acclaimed in Europe. 'The homage people are paying him probably has ironod out some of the kinks in that contorted phil osophy which irritated her when she wanted to find out how fast a pace she could go. He’ll prob ably measure up fairly decently BOW.” Joanna felt the touch of Irony In Yvonne's reply: “You’ll hardly be afraid that he will measure up to you! Roddy is frankly worried by him. That I can understand bocense when Roddy goes on an emotional spree be scents a battle in every lone scout that gives hte quarry a chance inspection. But you are usually confident. And, if Tm not mistaken, you hold the whip and can swing It, whenever you are ready." “What do you mean by that 7” “Only my careful deductions, my dear. 1 know you too well not to have my conclusions over every move you moke. You've been so deliberate in your play that I know you can afford to take your time. That, to me meant you’re holding a trump of jsome kind. I won't ask you If I’m right, for at course you wouldn’t tell me —the truth anyway.” He answered something, but Jo anna had conquered herself and •but the voifes away from her.

She knew he was In London He had written from there, bit usual letter, glowing with the do tails of his reception by British architects, telling of some of hlr plans, and restratnedly affection ate. He had said he would “rut down” to the Mediterranean soon but had mentioned no time. Sh» made sure of this omission by hunting out his letter and reading It again. She heard Yvonne come In fro® the grounds and found a reason for seeking her. They had not beey together since the closing hour ol the affair at Prince Michael’s thy night before. They had returned to Villa Amette In different partlei and Joanna had retired at- once. Yvonne seemed to nourish no memory of what must have been her chagrin when the whispet went around at Michael’s that the Golden Girl had stolen the prince away to a rendezvous that require* less possibility of Intrusion tha, that afforded by many palm hung nooks on his own estate. Sh? talked of some of the details ol the ntvfct hefnre. and didn’t men tion that sh 9 knew of John's corn ing or arrival. “Roddy turned up this morning after you had gone.” she remarked "and was in a fearful fret.

You will com? along?” J-anita agreed enthusiastically "I must make some amends to Roddy,” she observed. She didn’t add that she was glad of the op portunity to settle the gossip over her and. Michael by being seen, i casually, with him and Yvonne I i-hp wanted to disabuse any notion that she had time for an affair with this Russian whose emotional amusements were never romantic She preferred that he remained classified as belonging to the other woman. When they crossed the lounge into the palm room, at the Hermit age. the smartiy gowned womeO and debonair, idle men who gather from all parts of the world for this fashionable tea hour, ex changed furtive and curiout glances. The two men were most discussed of the Riviera habitues, and the woman and the girl tb* season's brightest ornaments. For several weeks there had been ru mors of soma forthcoming event at Villa Amette. The Golden Girl, so the rumors ran, had wearied of such stereotyped thrills as spec tacular plays at the roulette tables In the Casino, commonplace revels as were on the dally calendar among the Cap Martin villas— as Michael’s for example. With her apparently endless supply of money and Yvonne’s customary disregard of convention to support her, the news was. Mademoiselle Joanna was about to give the Ri viera something actually worth while talking about. These echoes were vagne. Indefinite, but, it was observed, workmen already were mysteriously engaged on parts of the Villa Amette grounds. “I have been approached by an exact dozen of people,” Roddy re marked when they had settled to their tea. “»o far today with a request for Inside information as to what’s coming off at Amette Monte Carte Is getting uneasy.” “And you’ve told what they ex pect to hear, haven’t you." Joanna asked lightly, “that It’S to be just another wild extravagance of the mysterious American child?” “I*r# told them nothing." he re i turned. "It will he time enough when ! am entrusted with a few Invitations to extend. I may have some of my friends, may I not?” “Yvonne Is really the hostess, vest know,” Joanna Informed him. > ‘Tm only helping to pay the bills ; I haven’t spent anything for an ; ago, now, it seems. I must have a real fling.” It was then that Prince Mlchae! ' cut In and set Joanna’s pulses to racing. “I am reminded,” he remarked “Haven’t I heard that Mademol sella counted among her acquaint ancee at home this architect chap 1 who Is causing such a commotion Just now?

Am I right Made moiselle? Have I heard his name and yours together?” Joanna answered quietly. "It Is possible. You hear so much about names being linked together, down . here.” She smiled at him quiz zically. He laughed pleasantly. Prince Michael wae always pleasant, this Russian who found nothing la his thlrty-flve yean to make him oth erwise except on such temporary occasions as when outwitted in seme amorous adventure. It was a pleasantness,- though, that im pressed, as a maik. The night be fore Joanna had known' quite well there wonld have been no wedding formalities If she had found her self tn Genoa with him.
