COOLIDGE SAYS 0. S. MUST CUT DOWNEXPENSE Margin Between Prosperity and Depression Always Small, He Says. BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD X'nit*d Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 29 Addressing the last scheduled business meeting of his administration, President Coolidge Monday night expressed satisfaction with his economic program, pointing out at the same time that national prosperity could continue oniy through constructive economy in government. The President warned against unnecessary drains on the federal treasury. He called attention to the i- —easing costs of state and local governments. ‘•The margin between prosperity ani depression is always very small," Coolidge said at one point. "A decrease of less than 10 per cent in the income of the nation would produce a deficit in our present budget. The cost of state and local government rapidly are mounting. He predicated his statement, by pointing out costs of state and local governments had increased from $3.900,000,p00 in 1921 to $7,931,000,000 in 1927, and continued: •‘This is such a heavy drain on the earnings of the people that it is the greatest menace to the continuance of prosperity. “It is a warning that should be heeded by every one intrusted with the expenditure or appropriation of public funds." Coolidge pointed out that since the inauguration of the budget sysr tern the public debt had been reduced $6,667,000,000, and that the

Eyes Gouged

In a savage frenzy of jealousy, George Thomas, 30, a rubber worker of Akron, 0., attempted to gouge out his wife’s eyes, killed his son, Robert, 4, wounded his daughter, Rosamond. 2, and then committed suicide. Mrs. Thomas, 24. shown above, probably will recover her sight, doctors say. Thomas became enraged when his wife started action to divorce him after alleged threats.

saving in interest from this and refunding operations was $963,000,000. He said further that four tax reductions had returned to the people about $2,000,000,000 a year which would have been required had the revenue act of 1918 remained in force, and that two and one-half million people entirely had been relieved from federal taxation. Brigadier-General H. M. Lord, budget director, who followed the President, warned that the government might end the year with a deficit unless expenses were curtailed. •

‘WEAKER SEX’ THEORY BLASTED BY jDUCATOR Men and Women College Students Found About Equal Mentally. BY ARTHUR F. DE GREVE I'nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Another theory of the "weaker sex” has been blasted by Dr. F. A. Moss, professor of psychology at George Washington university After a series of tests extending over several years, Dr. Moss announced today he found men and women college students about equal mentally with a possible shade of difference —if any exists—in favor of the women. In the army Alpha test the results showed a slight difference in favor of the w'omen. In social intelligence, women students demonstrated a noticeable superiority. They also excelled in judgment on matters of social tact and in accuracy of observation of human behavior. Comparative intelligence tests showed slightly better results for the men. Moss .found men students excelled in breadth and variety of interests while the two sexes were equal in the ability to remember names and faces. The psychologist reached the conclusion that women are more willing to submit to authority, have developed a degree of patience far in excess of men and have an equal desire for social approval. Women are more interested in persons while men are more interested in material things. Moss said.

CLAYPOOL SHOT UP IN ‘HOLDUP’ OF BANK HEADS Robbery Turns Out ‘Fake’ to Show Bandits Proper Place. A “holdup” in which a dozen shots were fired startled more than 100 guests at the Claypool Monday afternoon when a mock bank robbery was staged in the assembly room to illustrate an effective method used to deal with bandits in Oklasioma. The “holdup” was staged in the midst of an address by Eugene P. Gum, secretary of the Oklahoma Bankers’ Association, as the feature of the afternoon program of the mid-winter meeting of the Indiana Bankers’ Association. All but a few of the bankers present at the meeting were startled when the bandits appeared. As the method of signaling showing how bandits are trapped it became apparent that the “holdup” was for illustrative purpose only. The speaker declared that in view of the “pulls,” loopholes in the law and other resources of imprisoned bank bandits for getting out of prison the only really effective cell for bank bandits was six feet long, about the same depth, and about three feet wide and the only key to which would be a court order for exhumation of the body. Another instructive address of the afternoon was that made by W. E. Delvin, Chicago, of Delvin & Bennett, advertising counsel for the Indiana Bankers’ Association. “In 1927 the total invested capital of all banks of the country was $2,731,000,000,” said Devlin, “and the net earnings of banks on this capital was $252,000,000. Os these amounts General Motors had an in-

vested capital amounting to onefourth of the total or $727,000,000 and net profits of $157,000,000 in the first half of 1928.” Devlin pointed what he terms as a glaring fault in the banking system of today. He declared that many small depositors left but a few dollars balance in the bank, but
