It is a cash reserve, a savings account; and it is handy to get. Besides, money in a savings account works for its owner 24 hours a day, week in and week out. It earns interest on Sundays as well as weekdays. Ten dollars have started many a savings account that has become a tidy pile.

(INTERNATIONAL NEWS SEHYICE! CHICAGO, April 6 Police vigilance was redoubled in Chicago railroad yards today as more than 1.000 switchmen from out of town poin'.s began arriving to break the outlaw switchmen's strike w hich has crippled the serics on railroads running into Chicago, paralyzed normal activities at the stock yards and brought about a freight embargo. As fast as the out-of-town switchmen arrived they were placed on the jobs of the strikers. All are members of the Brotherhood of ftailroad Trainmen, which is co-operating with the railroad officials to break the strike. The railroad heads believe that by Saturday traffic will be almost back to normal. The police feat, however, that the arrival of the outsiders will anger the strikers to the. point of violence and consequent ly every available man from the force has been detailed to patrol the railroad yards. The chief of police is prepared to ask for aid from the state militia, if necessary. The prospect that DO. 000 men may be thrown out of work because of the. situation at the stock yards continues.
