IMS ^ iTocai7bitiTation ci.kakh ('am den'a two financial institution*, The |*V?t National Bank and the Bank of Camden, are open for buaine.se* ami both report extremely .satisfactory deposit*. While the Bank of Camden ie open for the present on a restricted _banijrr~depoeita are being made frwy. Under the government regulation the.se new deposits must be kept separate ami in cash in the bank vaults or on deposit with the Federal Raaerve Bank, so that deposits in that institution are a? safe as it is possible for bank deposits to be in any finan- J ciaf institution in America. We ui>-1 dersUuul that arrangements are going forwar<i to the end that the present restrictions may be raised and this strong, long-established banking institution may soon resume operations fully. This will be good news to the many business people and friends of the institution in this oom4 munity. Many busineases and many men hereabout owe their success to the Bank of Camden. Kstabliahod j back in 1888 it has served the people faithfully and well and it would have) been a great blow to this community if it had been compiled to cease, operations. First National Bank opened wholly j unrestricted and has been doing at nourishing business. The many friends j of that institution are glad to know it is prospering so well even ( under the trying conditions through ^ which the country has been passing/ The renewed confidence of the people generally has been well shown by the dfjM>sits in the banks hero since their reopening. Around $100,000.00. that had been in hiding has already come out. and been poured into the channels of trade through the medium of our banks ami many new deposits are c-oning in daily. There is a gen- j oral feeling that conditions are improving and will continue to improve.' The clouds are lifting. Faces aro brighter and everyone has new hope.' ( I). J. CarrLsOn, of Macon, spent several days last week in (Camden at the h<?me of his father, H. G. Garrison, Sr. Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) W?nhii)gton, March 21.- -Ooe of several precedent* broken by -President Roosevelt was his appointment at a woman in hb cabin**, Fiancaa Perkins, who had served as industrial commissioner of the state of New York, a position similar <o that which she now holds. Iter deal* nation, while not unexpected, was made in spite of the determined opposition of the American Federation of I^tbor, which organ nation earnestly advocated the appointment of one of its membeis. In ail former instances the position has been filled by an actual repjesntative of labor and it is cor-1 rectly contended th*t the present sec-1 retary tranpot be so regarded. Presiijlent Green of the Federation says that "labor cqti never become iec4on-. [died to the selection made." However, there is no evidence that desired coopeiatiom will be withheld. Although retaining her maiden name, Miss Perkins is married, her husbund being Paul Wilson, an efficiency engineer of ability. The drastic new economy bill became a law when the president affixed his signature on Monday. Upon the adjustment of differences between the senate and the house of representatives in conference nearly all opposition melted away. It is estimated that government expenditures will be reduced about a half billion dollars a year. The pay of Federal employees will be cut not exceeding fifteen per cent, and extensive Curtailments will be made in pensions and allowances going to veterans. Officials will be ready within about two weeks to put ^ into effect the provisions of the law. Opposition to the measure cam? principally from new members of Congress connected with or who considered themselves obligated to the American Legion, but the patriotic att&udo of the organization nullified efforts to balk the necessary reduction >f vast expenditures for veterans. So far as government employees ure concerned, in these times of dire; stress, they may well consider them-; selves fortunate to retain their positions, if at a small reduction, a-s compared with conditions connected with business and labor. After fifteen days fiom the date of passage the law will become effective legalizing the manufacture and sale of boor in states which are not totally dry. It is estimated. that sorely needed revenue to the extent of about $lf>0.000.000 annually will be realized for tin' national treasury. A yearly | tax is imposed of $1,000 on breweries, $100 on wholesalers and $20 on i eta ilea's. In addition states may levy such tax as may be decided upon as well as make regulations regarding , the traffic. The new law is skillfully framed with a view .?f permitting no (ground for a tost of its constitutiunlality. It does not define the alcoholic c? nient which would be intoxicating and therefore illegal, but merely repea's that portion of th" prohibition law whicl# has penalized the manufacture and sale of any beverage with mere than one-half of one per cent of aicohol. Accordingly there will be a vie lation of law only when any beverage henceforth contains more than 3.2 per cent of alcohol. When the Democrats took over the control of the senate upon the convening of the proisvent extra session of congress Senator Smith became chairman of the important commit.tee on agriculture. Senator Byrnes, whose limited length of service did not entitle him to become the heed of a larger committee, was designated as chairman of the committee on audit and control of contingent expenses. He is also a member of the powerful appropriations committee. President Roosevelt is having from both Democrats and Republicans unprecedented and thus far overwhelming suppoit in congress, where many or his predecessors ha%e been badly handicapped.

Tunis Wins Golf Trophy Cup Dr. J. P. Tun La, of Philadelphia and a prominent member of the Penn Athletic Club, eras victor in the third round of golf for the Camden Chronicle Chip. !>r.
