SAVINGS PASSBOOKS SOUGHT BY CROOKS Use Them,, to Steal Money by Forged • Slips — Should Be Guarded as Carefully as Cash. . Continu'd vigilance in safeguarding savings pa.s books, as well as blank and cancelled checks, against theft by crooks, who use this material In forgery operations, Is urged on bint customers by James E. Baum. Deputy Manager of tbe American Bankers Association, in charge of its Protective Department. This departmeff-1x continually vigilant In promoting means, both among bankers an*, the general public, to thwart the operation of bank crooks. It annually investigates hundreds of crimes against •janks and is responsible for the majority of arrests among this class of criminals. "In a large majority of cases of forgeries on checks or savings withdrawal orders investigated by tbe American Bankers Association, stolen blank checks or savings pass -.oka were the forgers' chief stock in trade.” Mr. Baum says. "In many instances tbe temptation presented through the careless handling by depositors of cancelled or blank checks or pass books so that they fell into the hands of others was the immediate stimulus for . hitherto honest people to commit their first criminal offense." Ranks should educate their depositors to exert tbe same degree of care . in handling these instruments and to -avoid leaving them about unguarded as they exercise in respect-to actual money because they represent money, he declares. For dealing with the bank robbery situation, ’ r. Baum recommends t>e use of electrical alarms actuated by any tampering with the wires or mechanism and also wider adoption of the plan of state police forces now employed In a few states, declaring that last year in seven eastern states where state police forties were malntai red there were only 20 bank holdups as against 104 similar attacks perpetr. ed against banks tin five states In tbe central and far viest. where banks are denied the advantages of the apt dy and coordinated action given by statewide police forces. •The records of the American Bankers Association Protective Department reveal that for many years the odd- in favor of state police protection have been at least 8 to 1 when measured by the experience of banks in st;<tee where efficient police protection la missing in tbe rural districts," be ays.

finance, polittca. Industry — w h o can see through the fog and hate that enshroud our difficult problems and advise. Instruct. and influence those who are either Indifferent or limited in their perceptions. Through the thinker and the

Interpreter, on • known situations are disclosed or puzzling conditions explained in logical light. The American people are so constituted that they can meet and combat any situation once it is known and understood. It Is the unknown that comes like the thief tn the night and brings disaster. Some one has defined prosperity as something the business men create for the ponllcian* to take credit for. But America s present-day prosperity can be defined as a product resulting from the business man's ability te study and to Interpret Huge corporations maintain research staffs and special bureaus to interpret the times for them. Disaster looms In the offing for any Industry that goes blithely on Its way day after day without due regard to significant trends In trade and business. Keeping Up With Change Leaders of finance have discovered that they cannot remain passive in an age when aU the rest of the world is • in a transitional stage. The modern banker not only must know about the changing styles in other lines of btMri* I n**s, but above all must be alert to the transformations which are taking place in hi* own. He must boa man I of keener broader vision, because the order of the day is tor larger units of service. Mergers and consolidation* have taken place in great numbers. We now talk of billions where a few years ago we talked of millions. We have only begun our changes. What disposition is to be made of the many problem* that they bring will depend In large measure upon our leadera. upon the students- and the interpreter* who can read accurately th* signs of the times, so that we may base future actions and hopes upon their wisdom. The quickest way to go to the top la to go to the bottom of thing*, and let us hope that among them will be found many who will not only aspire to leadership but will be successful in reaching their goal.

This Woman In 4 Weeks Lost 17 Pounds of Fat

Here’s a letter written October 21,; 1929, by Mrs. Fred Barringer <f Lewistown, Montana, that ought to be read by every overweight v < man : in America. J Gentlemen: I started taking Krujschen every morning as directed as j*l was very much overweight and wanted to reduce. I had tried-going on a diet but would get so hungry that my diet. would not last long, so I decided to give “Kruschen Salts” a fair trial. The day I started to take them Ij weighed 256 lbs: and at present, which has been just four weeks, I; weigh 239 lbs. And I must say, I' feel better in every way, ue<nJ’s,j looking much better.

May all large men and women, who want to reduce in an easy way, give Kruschen Salts a fair trial. I am sure it will convince anyone.” A bottle of Kruschen Salts that lasts four weeks costs but 85c at Thornburg Drug Qo., or any drugstore in America. T#ke one half teaspoon in a glass of hot water before breakfast every morning. To help reduce swiftly cut. out pastry and fatty meats and go light on potatoes, butter, creani and sugar. The Kruschen way is the safe way to reduce —Try one bottle and if not joyfully satisfied—-money back.
