MAKERS HAVE THEIR OWN BANK IN U S. CAPITOL Members of House of Representatives Patronize $lO,000,000 Institution. By United Presa WASHINGTON'. Feb. 11.—The United States House of Representatives lias established a bank of its own which handles $10,000,000 a year and business is picking up. The bank was instituted as a part of the office of the sergeant-at-arms and has its own counting room on the first floor of the Capitol Bldg. Not Much Profit Technically it isn’t a very profitable enterprise since all the money goes out. But it is a great accomnio dation to the members of the House. Originally the bank was started as a pay window to render representatives their salaries, but the require ments for cashing checks and taking care of little banking accounts of congressmen in local downtown banks necessitated its development into a regular financial institution. Under the increase in salary voted by-congress for itself the bank pays out $367,083.33 each month to House members. Holds Two Positions Kenneth Romney, is unofficial president and board of directors too. | He has been serving as paymaster for the last ten years to such satis- i faction that no change in his posi- j tlon is made with changes in admin- j istration. During his tenure of of- I flee, business has nearly doubled. He ; cashes more checks on different : banks than any other financial institution. as customers come from every congressional district in the country. The mileage costs of congressmen coming to Washington for each session is an Important item in the handling of this bank. Yearly this one provision costs something around $275,000. The members are allowed 50 cents a mile each way. The amounts to be paid range from $8 paid to a Virginia congressman, who lives across the river, to $1,453 which was paid the late Representative Raker of California, and $2,078.80 bald to the territorial delegate from Hawaii. This bank will never fail as long as ’ the United States Treasury stands i Up its foundations at the other end j Os Pennsylvania Ave.

AMERICANS BUY ENGLISH EDIFICES Briton Declares It to Be Menace. By United Pee-ta LONDON, Feb. 11. Another American menace is threatening England, according to A. R. Powys, secretary of the Society for the Pro tection of Ancient Buildings, “There are signs,’’ he said, “that the American campaign to buy up the choicest evidences of early English history is likely to be carried on in the future on a most dangerous scale.” There have been three or four instances recently, which atfracted attention in the press, ,of wealthy Americans buying old buildings and having them carefully shipped home in pieces, to be reconstructed there. Powys mentioned in particular an Elizabethan market hall which was bought thus for $1,500 from a city council and of another council selling richly' carved timbers of a house dating back to 1400 which was pulled down during street-widening operations.

living on the income of their wealth, or were supported by others, or were public charges, the Survey showed. In 1910 41.5 per cent of the population was gainfully employed, while ten years later this figure was reduced to 39.4 per cent and in 1925 it was estimated at 37.2 per cent. The steady reduction in the number of persons employed was attributed by the board to relatively larger school enrollment and college attendance and changes in immigration.
