Washington, July 3.?The little boy who puts all. his pennies in his metal bank no, longer is Tanked by the United States Children's bureau as the shining financial example for childhood. In his stead, the Bureau today set up the ideal as an American child who spends wisely, saves wisely and gives wisely.. '^Children should not be taught to" be little misers," the chili experts admonished in a special study, "The Child and His Money." "A savingfe bank into which pennies disappear never to be used has relatively little training value." The Bureau advocated that children be encouraged to spend money as c' lzzrrA-~ anA vn,np It suggested a (budget plan of putting small change into bright-colored envelopes?''Red envelopes for saving money, blue for 0 spending money, green for giving away money, and so on." Following is some of the training suggestions: Give the child a regular fixed allowance; teach him not to beg and tease for additional money. Let him learn by experience that denial must follow extravagance. Don't "tip" the child for rendering small services to lys elders or for being "good" or polite. Teach the child the value of saving for a definite purpose instead of for the mere sake of saving. Let him learn the folly of spending all his money at once and of going into debt to buy something bp wants. ' Teach him that saving things that cost money is as important as saving money. This year for the first time there are more aliens leaving the United States than are coming in. The net loss for the first five months of the year was 25,000, according to the office of the secretary of labor. Should this continue the loss for the year wll^be 60,000. Mexicans are said to be leaving the country at the raibe of more than 1,000 per month now and it Is estimated that 60,000 have gone back to Mexico since the beginning of the business depression.

King, state insurance commissioner, announced yesterday in revealing that he had sworn out warrants for several "so-called" agents who have solicited business in South Carolina without a license. 1* a statement designed to direct attention to insurance regulations and to protections the laws of the state throw about the policy-holder, Mr King said that the unlicensed companies not only acted without the law but also did not contribute in turfes to the stute's finances. While what he considers instances of fraud on the part of men claiming to be agents have come to his attention, he made no charge that unlicensed companies were acting fraudulently. He notified radio station WIS, Columbia, that it^jmust stop broadcast for an unlicensed insurance company and suggested to the station that it I determine before signing a contract whether a company has a license to sell in South Carolina. He said the radio station was without the law ' because it was to act as agent of the jcompany. The insurance commissioner suggested that when an unknown insurance agent approaches a prospect that the agent be required to produce his state license. If this license is not available, he suggested that the name of the agent and his company connection be forwarded to his office for investigation. He cited recent instances of an agent who sold insurance in a "Louisiana company" that did not exist. When the victims complained Mr. King investigated through the Louisiana insurance department and found no such company recorded in that state. His statement declares: "It has recently come to my attention that a number of unlicensed companies are soliciting insurance in South Carolina through persons representing themselves to be agentsand by radio broadcast. "I desire to call the attention of the insuring pubLic to the illegal practices engaged in by these companies, as well as the agency instrumentalities. Our laws are very specific upon this subject and much injustice to all concerned will result if such practices are allowed to continue. The reasons for placing insurance only in licensed companies and the many and varied inconveniences of dealing with unlicensed companies are briefly explained as follows: "First: Should a policy-holder in an unlicensed company experience difficulty in the collection of a claim which would result in litigation suit would have to be entered in the home state of the company, which action would prove expensive as well as inrnnvpnjPnt. whereas the licensed companies, in complying with the requirements of our laws appoint the insurance commissioner attorney-infact to accept service of process, thereby bringing the proceedings within our own courts. Further, upon, many occasions, the insurance commissioner is able to act as arbitrator in effecting an equitable settlement Derween cne msarcu ??.'? thereby avoiding unnecessary law suits, which procedure is utterly impossible with reference to unlicensed companies. "Second: There are approximately 600 of the leading insurance companies in the country, licensed by your insurance department. These companies, during the year 1030 contributed toward the support of our state, counties, municipalities and fire departments the sum of $523,970.68. The 1931 general assembly passed an act increasing the tax on premiums collected by licensed companies, which will bring in an additional amount, approximated at $200,000. Therefore, you will note that the licensed insurance companies operating in this state during the year 1931 will pay into the office of the insurance commissioner for state, county, city and fire department purposes, about $784,000, whereas the unlicensed companies soliciting insurance through the mails, their so-called agents, and by radio broadcast will not contribute one dime toward the upbuilding of ,our state. "Third: From the smallest village to the largest city there can easily be found a leading citizen engaged in the insurance business: This agent insures your protection in a licensed company, appreciates your business and, in' turn, renders you real insurance eervice. "When in doubt as to the reliability, of a company or agent, or when you are not personally acquainted with said agent, require him to produce his license, which is issued by this department, and tf yotr deaiie further F J:.~ _ ; ?\ it formation concerning the company represented communicate with this department. A report will be furniaircu names and addresses of the companies authorized to write insurance in South Carolina, as well as the kinds of insurance they nre licensed to write. With this report available for ready reference and thie office constantly accessible, there should be nJ trouble in ascertaining if a company is licensed in this state. Agents should be aware that there is a law on the statute" books providing severe penalties for soliciting insurance for unlicensed companies. The public may not know that the company is not authorized to operate in South Carolina, but an agency can claim no such ignorance." Did You Know? That on every cruiser and battleship of the United States Navy there are from two to six airplanes? These ( planes are launched at flying speed, from catapults. That the oldest member of the American Legion is an ex-sailormnn of the United States Navy? His name is John Carpenter, age 87, and his home is in Haverhill, Mass. That is was Theodore Roosevelt who said '*The Navy must be built and all its training given in time of peace; when war has broken out, it is too late to do anything?" The Navy keeps records showing the eduMttional progress of its men? ThAt If the amount of insurance carried on the lives of the soldiers end sailors was converted into silver dollars it would form a stack high enough to ?0 two and one-half times around the earth, a - distance of 6-1,80S miles? . , That these interesting facts about the United States Navy were furnished by the Navy Recruiting .Station, Funeral of Mary J. Barfield Spring Hill, June 29.?Funeral services for Mary Jacquelin Barfield, three-year-old niece of Ernest Robertson, who also died of burns received when young Robertson was cleaning his car with gasoline, were held in Beulah Methodist church Sunday morning, conducted by the Rev. E. S. Dunlap, pastor of tho baby's parents. The little mound was covered with a profusion of flowers in token of sympathy for this tragic death. The baby was the youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. Zeland Barfield, who reside with the latter's parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. F.. Robertson, at Spring Hill. The child was standing near the car when the can of gasoline caught. She became excited and ran through the fire, catching her clothing. Her mother burned her hands badly in putting out the fire, but the baby was too badly burned to survive. She died in a Camden hospital about noon Saturday. Besides her parents, she is survived by two older sisters, Elizabeth and Alma Lou Barfield, of Spring Hill. Pierre ?S. DxiPont, capitalist and philanthropist of Wllmttigton, Del., is protesting most vigorously against a proposed plan to erect in that city a statue in his honor.

Clover Minister Wants Leniency Clover, .July 3.?The Southern Christian Advocate says that the Rev. G. I. Ford, Clover Methodist minister who disappeared in April, has written the presiding elder of the district asking for "forgiveness." The church paper says the missing minister wrote from "a point in California" and that he "confesses wrong doing, pleads for forgiveness and promises henceforth worthy living." "The case will however," the publication said, "have to take its regular disciplinary course and is already referred to a committee of investigation composed of the presiding elder, the Rev. A. E. Holler; Dr. A. Brunson, the Rev. J. A. Chandler and the Rev. F. C. Beach."
