New Tork, Jan. IT. Prior to a
meeting today of the committee on
arrangements for the democratic na
tional convention to be held in Ban
Francisco next June, it was announc
ed that George F. Mara, an attorney
of Bridgeport, Cann., who had bean
selected to serve as the personal rep
resentative of Homer a Cummings,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, would leave for the Pa
ctfto oo tut within two days.
While on the way to San Francisco
to arrange for the 1920 gathering, Mr.
Mara will stop off at 8t. Louis to
leara from James E. Smith, president
of the St. Louis chamber of com
merce, methods employed in staging
the UK convention.
Two women, said to be th first to
nerve on a similar committee of eith
er the democratic or ropubllcatwpurty,
attended today's session. They were
Miss Mary E. Foy of Los Angeles, as
etiolate national committee woman
from California and Mrs. George Bans
of r"rn"n who served as chairman
( tk women's bureau of the demo
cratic liuuonul committee.
Trk Wratt. ff. of Bilverton, re

statutory charge was sentenced Sat-

The sentence is indeterminate and Is

by a 14 year old girl.

more stringent regulations in regard
to the attendance or minors pum.v

ham after pronouncing sentence upon
Wyatt. "Under the present ordinances
and statutes the dance hall mana

element to be consiaerea. is urni wv-
i., nt ihua nlaces are interest

Much trouble has grown out of the
attendance of minors at these places,
v.-- hflu hsn cases where boys re
sort to theft in order to secure funds
for attendance at some public dance
The mother of the girl testified
fk. thav haH continually escorted
Violet to all dances and this was sub
stantiated by Wyatt's witnesses. On
it.. n...inn mentioned In the charge,
Wyatt was alleged to have met the
girl while she was returning irom a
neighbors. This evidence was intro
duced to show that trouble follows
when girls of this age are permitted
to meet older men at these places.
"A honvv bond in addition to the
present license on public dance halls
would reduce the attendance 01 mm
nn at thnaa nlnces." Judge Bingham
said. "When saloons were in opera
tion the saloonman was under bond
to obey the law, why should not the
manager of public resorts of this na
ture be forced to obey the statutes
against the attendance of young boys
and girls. The same dangerfor asso

dividuals is at stake."

With interviews from several Influ
ential Salem bankers telling why thrift
is a good thing. National Thrift week
was ushered Into Salem Saturday.
The main reason for calling this
"Bank Day" Is to prove conclusively
that the best way to save is to take the
amount you Intend to save from the
top of the dollar and not from the bot
tom If you do not have a strings ac
count, start one now. If you do not
deposit in some bank go and start a
bank account with some bank now or
resolve to do so Just as soon as possi
ble. All you need to start a savings
account is one dollar and a backbone.
Here is what several Salem bankers
say about thrift:
David Eyre, TJ. 8. National: In or
der for the people of the United States
to become thrifty they should adopt
some system of saving. By using; the
banks In their home ctly in every pos
sible way is one of the first lessons in
thrift Saving a certain percentage of
what they earn will soon become a
habit and by conferring with their
banker before making investments will
make for absolute safety.
Joseph Albert, Capital National:
The people of the United States must
learn to be hrifty before relief from
the high cost of living can be secured.
Every man, woman and child Bhould
learn to save In every way. More mon
ey must be saved and we must remem
ber that "time" Is money and that ev
ery minute should be devoted to useful
Industry. Salem will grow much more
apldily if the citizens will study to be
come thrifty.
8. B. Elliot, Salem Bank of Com
merce: People should learn to save in
small matters. Every child should
have a savings account and be encour
aged to deposit as much as possible wi
that account A small berinnlne
makes for larger things later in life
and the child that starts to save early
In life will some day be the great financier.
William a Walton, cashier Ladd &
Bush bank: Thrift in my opinion is
the greatest weapon with which to
fight the high cost of living. As sure
ly as extravagance and useless spend
ing Increases prices, thrift and saving
will reduce them. The greatest need
of this countrytoduy is economy, which
applies to both the Individual and gov
ernment .
CAPTIVE; BLOW SAFE
a.nttla W.h Jon IT. A news
boy, Bob White, early today stumbled
on three men attempting to blast
open a safe In the West Seattle post
office. The robbers held the boy prls
nnar whlU the made four futile at
tempts to open the safe. When their

jenslng, they gave up their task, turn-
od the boy loose ana escaped.
