The object of the Congress is to render possible a direct exchange of ideas and experiences among all persons interested in the work of saving banks and in thrift generally, with a view to the development of new fields of service for savings banks and improvements in methods and organization. Among the specific subjects upon which reports will be submitted and discussed are the nature of the fundamental services which saving banks render to depositors and to the various countries. Such matters as the protection of imigrant savings, advice on investments, budgeting and instruction for the keeping of household accounts will be under consideration. — - o SIX RAD MEN STAGE GAY HOLD-UP PARTY SUNDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE lIXEI with the girls. They had a beauty contest and gave back $25 of their loot as a prize to the winner. At 3 a. m., the sextet walked in and fired a salvo into the floor. ‘‘lt's us,” announced the leader. Fiddles shrugged and opened the cash register. The guests, out of habit, raised their hands and lined up against the wall. The orchestra sat mute. "This ain’t a funeral,” admonished one of the robbers. "Play us a nice Piece, like ‘Lover Come Back to Me'.” With that the party was on. A Oary policeman spotted in the crowd was haled onto the dance floor. The barons pocketed his gun and trampled on his star. Several supposed “badmen" at tables wore glum looks. Bullets whizzed past their ears and they became wall flowers. Several girls danced in a manner to pleace their impromptu escorts and got their jewels back. "Everything’s on the house,’’ the bandits shouted repeatedly, dealing out Bill Fiddles’ choicest wares. Sam Kanohach, the bar tender, was a big help. Along towards morning , the barons tired of the party. They sped away in two taxicabs. Revelers raced for tfieir automobiles. “Catch 'em” was the watchword. But the barons had attended to that. They had wrecked the ignition system on every car. So those who went merrymaking at the Palm Gardens walked home. Some arrived about noon. o— — naval parley is ANNOUNCED FOR JANUARY PAG® OXfCI (■eneva in 1927.

and Britain were at loggerheads. When President Hoover was inaugurated he set out to retrieve the failure which w-as rapidly jeopardizing friendship between the two nations. When MacDonald became prime minister the first of June, they began a series of friendly exchanges designed to reach an agreement. The United Stateo and Britain now propose to enter the conference with cruisers limited to 339.000 tons for Britain and 315,000 tons for the United States. The United States is to offset its inferiority in tonnage by having more large 10.000-ton cruisers ■with 8-inch guns than Britain. The week-end conversations in the mountain wilderness are understood to have extended to broader subjects than the naval conference, however. Exactly what was discussed is known to none save Mr. Hoover and the prime minister for there were no listeners. Before the party left for the Rapidan camp it was understood in administration quarters lhat the general question of neutral rights on the high seas—the freedom of the seas —would be diecussed among other subjects. Because of much concern over the o this side. Prime Minister MacDonald has recenty said this sule ject must be cleared uo as a baste to real friendship between the two nations. It is held in administration quarters this constitutes the crux of the whole problem of Anglo-American relations. A freedom of the seas treaty may exentuate based upon the Kellogg peace pact but that, it is said in authoritative quarters, is still some time off. All members of the party returned much refreshed by the novel weekend, one of the most unique in the history of international conferences. The president and prime minister sauntered along the Rapidan, and then sat for a long time on a log over the water gazing at. the fish and talking of everything from the weather to the peace of nations. Today was one of the most important days of the entire visit from a ceremonial point of view. ‘I he program included the president’s dinner of 90 covers, the maximum capacity of the state dining room at the White House. It also included the appearance of the prime minister before congress, the first time that body has ever received a British prime minister. The visit to congress was set for noon to be followed oy a family luncheon at the White House.. The invitations, the wording of which had been agreed to by the British dominions and presumably by U. 8. Ambassador Charles G. Dawes, were signed by Henderson. It had been planned originally to issue them at the time Premier Ramsay MacDonald sailed for the United States, but later it was SORE THROATS AND COUGHS Quickly Relieved by this Safe Prescription Here’s a doctor's prescription that is really throat insurance. Sore or irritated' throats are relieved and soothed almost instlantlyl with the very first swallow. About 90% of all coughs are caused by an irritated throat; consequently for most coughs too there is nothing better than this famous prescripion—it goes direct to the internal cause. It is put up under the name Thoxine and is guaranteed to stop coughs and relieve sore throats in 15 minutes or your money will be refunded. Singerq and speakers find Thoxine very valuable. The remarkable thing about Thoxine is that while it relieves almost instantly, it contains nothing harmful, is pleasant tasting and safe for the whole family.
