He will learq that mutual savings bank accounts have reached a new high peak throughout the nation, de positors having Increased In the past six months by 278,096. The total num ber of Individual depositors Is now 13,686,947, and total deposits are near ly ten thousand million dollars, a good deal of money. That Is good news for those that have something and know enough to save part of it. It means, however, that many open or Increase savings accounts because. they do not know any other safe way to Invest money, and that Is not so cheerful. Good times depend on new ventures, bring ing more employment' Blames the Reich for the Nazi Outbreak. Vienna, Austria.—Austria, officially pointed an accusing finger at Germany for the blood which flowed from a Kast attempt to seize the Austrian govern ment . An announceuiepL-ipproved by the cabinet said directions to Austrian Nazis were sent Into the country sev eral weeks ago from Germany. The plans, which Included the pos sibility of civil war, said Walter Adam, propaganda chief, In a radio address, were seized In the shoes of a man ar rested In Upper Austria. This man confessed receiving $100 for deliver ing the documents—now partially de coded, Adam added.. Another government announcement state—Franz Holzweber and Otto Steel production, a sort oi indus trial and prosperity indicator, is down, off 5.7 per cent In a week. Total pro duction is only about one-quarter of what #ie industry could do. Dull Steel production means a dull laher market. Steel makers look for improvement this month and next from automobile makers. The automobile news is more cheer ful—pleasant proof that citizens are “lifting up their hearts” and beginning to spend again. >r The shortest great love song In his^ tory seems to be the one that Hitter ThcT Sfussoilnl, with heads thrown back, sang recently in Venice. It’s a complete divorce of dictators now, and because of that little rift within the lute France and Italy are rfeW to be drawTfig closer together. They were far apart before Dollfuss was hilled. Political, and other assas sinations are never profitable. One, twenty years ago, started the great war. This Dollfuss murder breaks up a beautiful budding friendship between dictators, and threatens Germany with complete national Isolation. AUSTRIA FORMALLY ACCUSES GERMANY heir Planetia, who were hanged for their part in the putsch, died with the “hell Hitler” on their Ups. Although the revolt was apparently crushed except for sporadic bombings, the Fascism government headed by Dr. Kurt Schuschnigg continued Its vigor ous anti-opposition campaign. All persons who hear disturbing po litical rumors were pTdered to report the sources to the authorities. What action will be taken against 142 Nazis, companions of Plametta and Holzweber in the capture July 25 of the chancellery, was not revealed. They are prisoners In a barracks here. A startling interview was given''by Franz Winkler, forcer vice chancellor under the late Chancellor. Dollfuss, in which he charged the Fascist Heim- wehr (home guard) had planned to overthrow Dollfuss until the Nazi putsch beat them to it. The Heimwehr Is now a most !m portant cog tn w truce government with its leader, Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg, serving as vice chancellor. Winkler, who is “soraewnere in Czechoslovakia,’ cation a secret, denied knowledge of the Nazi putsch before it took place. Marie Dressier is dead, after a brave fight against death. The world learns from her that success depends on brains and courage. She lost the good looks uf-youth shortly after forty, so Mr. Ziegfeld decided that he could not give her work, as he hoped to do. She struggled, unsuccessfully, for fourteen years, lost all her savings, never lost her courage. And when she died, at sixty-two, she was one of the greatest successes in moving pictures, most highly paid, respected and admired, with no help from any beauty parlor. Moving picture men should notice that Miss Dressier was able to earn great profits for her producers, in plays not Immoral, clean plays deal ing with the normal Interests of nor mal human beings The Rible says that to “him that hath shall be given,” and many New York, iandlorda perhaps remembered that when they rend the gigantic Rockefeller building enterprise in New York called “Rockefeller Center" is "out of the red,” self-supporting, with 60 i»er cent of space rented. Good news for an undertaking that cynics called "a great white elephant." Optimists look upon Rockefeller Center success as proof of Improve ment In business. Wise men know that It is another proof of Rockefeller efficiency. Not bidding for tenants from other buildings at cut rates, Mr. Rockefeller has brought tenants from afar, inclbd- ing extremely Important tenants from Europe, and has built up a business neighborhood of his own.

Man Without Power to InTention* to Forward Period of Prosperity or The sUge is set for the noblest prosperity In all history, says a Many suggestions for stopping severe drouth of 1934 came in to the United States weather bureau the last few weeks. Just as many are re ceived for stopp.ng floods in times of excessive rainfall. In fact, a single cause, for example, the wide use of radio, ia often advanced for both drouth and flood. No device yet de veloped by mantis of any practical value in starting or stopping rain, according to Dr. W. J. Humphreys, of the weather bureau. Nature’s method of making rain, Dpctor/Humphreys explains. Is first t6 get an abundance of water Into the/atmosphere by evaporation from neater surfaces, ice surfaces, growing regetatlon, and damp soli and then to "squeeze it out by lowering the temperature. _ Ordinarily there is enough mois ture in the air to provide at least a moderate rainfall whenever the ma chinery for its condensation into raindrops is working right. This ma chinery calls for the proper distribu tion and movement of air masses dlf fering In temperature and density. In other words, when a normal movement of atmospheric “highs” ana “lows” is interrupted and a rela tively stagnant atmospheric condi tion is established and persists for a long time, drouth develops, notwith standing the fact that there may be enough moisture in the air to pro duce rain. Obviously, Doctor Humphreys points out, radio, which neither has tens nor retards evaporation and does not cool the air or In any way promote condensation of the mois ture in the air, cannot be a factor in Electrical devices, sprinkling the clouds with dry ice, starting large fires, and setting off loud explosions among the other rain-making schemes 8u^gest^. iftttiET_dQ .not :work_or cost All of the electrical schemes Inves tigated by the weather bureau.

This plan, however. Is wrong in principle, and no rain has ever resulted from such practices. The use of fire to produce rain was strongly advocate^ 80 or 90 years ago and this suggestion con tinues to bob up from time to time. This ^method. Doctor Humphreys says, is correct lu principle, but the cost of a fire big enough to break a drouth would be prohibitive. writer In an eastern magazine, ballyhoo and in casta Thousands of inventions await us.
