The fact is recognised Oat' the avenge man does not have enough money to enter into an extensive] building program alone but ttua diffi ] culty can be met by the pooling of : ] community's funds through the for nation of a building and loan asso-1 elation, says James H. McNish, de puty commis^imer, department of] banking and insurance, of New Jer-I sey. "The exact date of the formation] of the first building and loan asso- ] ciattan Is mmmmm-bs doubt," says] Mr. MeNish. "Some say that it origin atsd in China centuries ago. It is cer ] tain, however, that a savings assorts- ] tion was organised during the yeai ] 1815 by the Earl of Selkirk, in th? southern part of Scotland, near the] Ettgifcfe line." Frankford, a suburb of Philadel- ] phia, is given as the home of the first ] association in the United Statee. It] was organised in 1831 by a gronp of] men who could food no financial in- ] stitatioB that would loan them the] funds which they sought with which] to buny or build homes for them-J selves and for their families. Thirty-eight mot were present at] the organisation. meeting; Every mem ber of the pioneer association was to amine an Initial payment of $5 upon I each $509 unit subscribed for, and thereafter a monthly payment at C8 unto the total monthly payments, j pins the accumulated profits, amount ed to |fi00. This sum was then large I enough to build or buy a home. And J the secretary of this group received $15 for his first yesris work. ? Mr. McNish divides the history of these associations into four periods; early experiment and ultimate success of the loeal associations 1831-1885;! rise and fafr of the national tssocia- f tions, 1885-1908; reconstruction " of J public c?fidenee, 1900-1019; expan sion on sound lines, 1910 to the pres ent time. Pennsylvania seems to have been fertile territory for buQding and loan associations, for they sprang up like j mushrooms all overTJwatate. Even! today these are more than 2,000 as soriatkms in Philadelphia alone. In spite of the fact that 50 or move as- I soriafrkms were arp^ripd between I?I83i"amrT^4^^ ',*?* *? corpo rated unt3 1850.

I United States " [ >? - Washington, Dec. 9.?A demand for :reation of an all-embracing federa [ ion of dry f rees, divorced from the I :harch. to presets prohibition in the ?932 campaign, was kid today before [the National Temperance Council. At ? ?other dry meeting the question of a prohibition referendum was revived. Oliver Stewart, president of tibe fly- i :ng squadron foundation, called for a dry mobilization pointed toward the iext presidential election. He hit out it the laek of "militant leadership" n the prohibition ranks, contended 'the churchy as such, has no place in I contest for the election of a Presi ient," and even suggested supplant- i Iqg some dry organization. Virtually all the 109 dote^ea Ee addressed requested either church or empe ranee societies. Three Modes away, Dr. CSaxenc* True Wilson, secretary of the Metho- 1 list Board of Temperance, laid be fore the annual meeting of his board the challenge of a referendum. He j opened his annual report with a ref- 'j erence to the "great alarm being ex- ?i pressed by some of our timid people :n regard to newspaper publicity a-' < bout referendum." I Scarcely 12 horfh before the Tern- 1 perance Council behind dosed doors j had received a unanimous standing i vote against any such proposal. Dr. j Wilson was not present. The reaoiu- < tion adopted said that having won the I Eighteenth Amendment there is no occasion for the dry forces to join in j any movement by referendum or otR- i er process for its repeal. 1 F. Scott McBride, superintendent < of the Anti-Saloon League, in a mil- i ?tant address, had predicted a pro- f hibition "battle royal" in the 19S2 conventions of both parties, and de- . feat for the Republican party if rte candidate was wet or moist. Dr. Wilson in his reportcriticized shifting the ProMbition Bureau from the Treasury to -the Justice Depart ment, saying "we imagined itxwaulch take two years to do this and get it ( m a Working basis." He added: "This has proven to be the case and will be the situation, for sometkm to come."

Twelve members of*w crew, including the captain, Berte lotto Giacomo, lost their lives in the explosion and the remaining seven of the crew, all injured, were rushed to hospitals at Belle Isle* The bodies of twovdtvers, encased fnrthAr suits were recovered from the wreck " ? age. The explosion occurred off the Is land' of Houat, on the west eoast of Brittaay, not far from the spot where the liner Egypt ;%?t down in 1922 with 16,000,000 in ingots aboard. Prom this isolated sjp? word of the tragedy reached here today. For more than a year the Artiglio had been seeking to recover the sunken treas ure of the Egypt hut so far, because of bad weather conditions and rratic The loss of the Artiglio may mean that the salvage work will be taken over by! the American company, Com modore Slone Danenhowur of Bridge* port, Conn., said he hsid offered to place the Simon Lake submarine, De fender, - at the disposal of the Sorima Company of Genoa, which owned the Artiglio. The Defender is said to be equipped with new devices making use of! helium gas, permitting its crew td work aboardWdtbttit any- in convenience at depths as great as 500 feet. ; The Artiglio had been temporarily engaged by the French government to remCve the hulks of a: number of cargo Ships sunk during the war in the dangerous waters off the Brit tany coast Most of these vessels were packed 'with high explosives and mu nitions Intended for the aUieAaflttfcs mid hare long been considered seri ous daggers to shipping. Divem from the Artiglio had placed a charge of mtgtoitvea Si the bull of the Florence and the salvage vessel was standing off at a distance of a bout a'tbwsaail yards, according".to eyewitnesses, when the charge was exploded. The Artoglio also carded a heavy cargo of explosives and-it tel assumed that the repercussion tkm the fflaat; in the Florence set thjq off.

A career that has bean most interesting to watch: that brough^'SenatOr Simmons to the peal of political prestige and that witnes sed his down-fall at the hands of Democratic enters of North Carolina last June when he was defeated by Josiah Baileyr^i " i:\y _;'?1 Senator Simmon* whs tbe; individ ual political boss of North CsxdOtml The Democratic party obeyed his dic tates. fbr the most part, the leaders were ip accord with his view?, or else were afraid to back Mm. ? H Then came the historic caiqpaiyn of 1928. Senator Simmons fought the Democratic nominee When Smith was nonrffted at the Houston con vention, the Senator still remained re calcitrant. He refused to vote for. A! Smith and he urged other Democratic voters in the state to fytiew his lead. NorthCarolina went Republican by a considerable majority. It would have gphe Republican without Sena tor Simmons' aid, but there is no question of hi* influence. He undoubt edly capsed several thousand individu als to vote against the Democratic nominee for president. And that brought on the ire of the Democrats in nil sections of the state Following the November election in 192$, steps immediately were taken to punJsh Senator Simmons for his desertion of his party; It was felt that in | view of the many honors that had boen be stowed upon him, he should ;h*ve remained lo^si to the paidy. 4bmihee. He foHed to do this, so it wgs decreed that he must be sac rificed. N Josiah William Batiey defeated him in overwhelming fashior. Any other good njan could have done the earn* thing.

Back to the farm?back to the soil he loves and to the books he likes to read. A quiet, subdued, reflective evening for the remainder of his life. On March 4 the political cUrtain will drop behind him as he passes out .of the picture, and Senator Simmons be comes Mr. Simmons?farmer.

FAVO. ,NG WBuh . ISSUE - Not ^or ^iionaT tlonven tions To Worry About, Says Mrs. Blair. 4 A, : . ?'?*. ' ? V* . '? - - New York, Dec. 9. ? Mrs. Emily Newell Balir, former vice chairman of the Democratic National Commit tee, came forward today with her pre scription for the election of a Demo cratic Resident in 1932, the cardinal point in* her suggestion being, "Ig nore prohibition." Only by side stepping the wet-dry controversy, Mrs. Blair declared, can the party capitalize the victories in the November election. Writing in the Review of Reviews, she proposed that the 1932 platform contain this plank: ? "It is not for the national conven tion to make a pronouncement on pro hibition. It is ot a question that can be settled, either one way or the other by a national election. It is not a question involving fundamental Dem ocratic principles. Therefore, it can not be made a party policy. It is a question to be settled at the prim aries. Democrats will have an oppor tunity to expose their opinions in their choice of nominees. Where the majority are dry, their nominee will be dry. Where the majority are wet, their nominee will be wet." Mrs. Blair reasons that by putting prohibition in the background the Democrats will be able to stress eco nomic issues. And therein, she says, lie stheir chance of victory. The presidential nominee, Mrs. Blair believes, must appeal to two groups?-"those Republican manufac turers and bankers who no longer de sire a high protective tariff, and de sire more international co-operation, and the progressive faction headed by Governor Pinchot and Senators Nor nis, Borah and La Fayette. She suggests three men as personi fying the type of nominee her. party should elect, the three bing Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York, Newton D. Baker, of Cleveland, for mer Secretary of War,' and CordaO Hull, newly elected Senator from Tennessee, .i "Interested as people are in the question of prohibition, she declares in the Review of Reviews,, "they feel stronger on the question of having a job, of what they pay for light and power, and the opportunities afforded their children." r.-.Ui her effort to elude a mouse, ? Mrs. Fred Schell, of Yakima, Waaft., leaped onto a table which tilted and Bent, her crashing through the kitten window. The woman's wounds were treated in a hospital. ?.
