New York Perhaps in the veins
of the people of the United States
there runs the blood of the nomadic
tribes of Arabia or maybe it's the
"gypsy" in us. Whatever it is, the
fact remains that more and more
people in America are moving out on
the open road, taking their homes
with them in the shape of automobile
trailers.
Although the peak of tourist
trailer travel is reached during the
summer months, reports indicate
that a group of people almost 100,
000 in size are touring the United
States year in and year out, moving
like nomad3, to places having thy
most satisfactory climate.
The auto camp business, which has
flourished particularly in the south,
southwest and midwest, is feeling the
decline in business due- to the in
creased use of trailers by tourists.
Many of them represent a large out
lay of money.
Jlut tourist camp owners have re
vised their layouts to enable tourisis
to park their cars and trailers and
hook the trailer to a water line and
plug iii on an electric cable.
All the Comforts of Home
This indicates to what extent
trailers are in use today and also in

er which was most attractively staged
with the patio of the home arranged
in flowers and making a very charm
ing picture. Miss Dunbar was seat
ed on a throne of honeysuckle and
requested to open the large array of
beautiful gifts. The evening was
spent in games, moving pictures
and music, followed by the lawn
luncheon.
VISITS WITH FRIENDS
Mrs. Albert Dcegan, of Chicago,
and daughter, Joan, who are here
for a visit at the home of her par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Patterson,
was given a very pleasant informal
open house on Tuesday evening. Some
eighteen friends of her school days
and acquaintances, learning of her
presence in the city, dropped in for
a very delightful visit and the re
newal of old times.
During the evening Mrs. T. M.
Patterson served light refreshments
to the members of the party.
dicates the rapid strides that have
been taken in the building of auto
trailers. Not long ago a trailer was
merely an ugly looking wooden box
on wheels, often homemade, contain
ing a bed or a cot, perhaps a chair,
dishe3 and a table of sorts.
Today the trailer ha3 evolved from
.'i- i i . . -.
us vtuuuen dox siage. l our years
h-j l uauui muie auio trailers were
rarities. And none - of them could
approacu in elegance or smartness
the modern trailer now owned by
many "take your house with you
tourists.
varying in length from 14 to 30
feet, the modern trailer is a stream
lined lozenge shaped house of light
metal, with curtained windows and
chromium fittings. It fastens to the
automobile by hieans of a swivel
joint at the bow. Inside there, is
room for one or niore davenports,
onvertible into beds, a stove, icing
facilities, closets, tables and a sink.
Besides the people living in trail
ers more or less permanently, there
are two other groups, the vacation
ers and retired-couples who have a
small income. Many of ihes'o families
spend the winter in the south and
southwest. They trailer-tour in this
fashion instead, of buying coal for
their home in the winter and see the
country and enjoy the sunshine at
the same 4,ime.
Depositors in
79 Failed Banks
Paid Uniformly
General Counsel Radke Reviews Dis
tribution of $768,697 Through.
State Receivership.
Recovery of $768,697 for deposi
tors of failed state bank's durins the
last five years thru favorable Nebras
ka supreme court rulings on 79 ap
pealed cases was disclosed by Gen
eral Counsel Radke of the state bank
ing department's receivership divi
sion.
Radke began his sixth year Thurs
day as the division's counsel, having
been appointed by former Gov. Bryan
to succeed C. M. Skiles, resigned.
During the five year period Radke
handled1 personally 129 appealed
cases before the state's highest court,
involving a total amount of $1,039,
317, of which he recovered 74 per
cent. He lost 50 cases, or almost 39
percent of the total number involved.
The money recovered has been pro
rated among the depositors. Since
most of the cases involved trust
funds, individuals in the court ac
tions asked for preferential payment
in the liquidation of the failed banks
"The receivership's contention all
along has been that all should share
alike, the depositor creditors as well
as those asking preferences," Radke
asserted. Other causes of litigation,
he added, included probates, fraud
ulent conveyances of property, fore
closures, quiet title actions, bank
ruptcy matters, bills and notes, and
stockholders' liability.
The lowest amount of money In
volved in the units was $100 and the
highest, $278,775. The $278,775 was
obtained thru the supreme court's
upholding the distribution of that
amount to depositors of 34 banks af
ter the old guaranty fund was trans
ferred to the depositors fund.
Several important definitions were
established as to certain banking
terms by the court in its opinions,
the counsel said. Among them were
the various types of deposits, wheth
er general, special, or specific de
posits for a specific purpose. Ques
tions previously were raised over all
of these terms, he declared.
Cases were tried by Radke in every
judicial district in the state and in
about 75 of the 93 counties. Many
of the cases were settled in the
trial courts and were not appealed,
approximately 300 having been tried
altogether.
BOARD DECIDES DISPUTES
From Thursday' Daily
The board of control of the kit
tenball league held a meeting last
evening at the O. K. Garage on
Washington avenue and took up the
matter of two disputed games, that
of the Chevrolets and the Budweisers
and the Chevrolets and the BREX.
In the Budweiser game the claim
was that the Chevrolets did not have
the required number of men on the
field according to the rules and which
forfeited the game to the Buds. The
final decision of the arbiters was
that the Chevrolets who had won
22 to 3 should retain the game.
The claim in the EREX-Chevrolet
game was that the hurler for the
Chevies had used resin in the hand
ling of the ball and this was protest
ed as illegal by the car builders. The
board decided in this case that the
game be played over by the two
teams.
The use of spiked shoes in the fu
ture was restricted to the outfield
and it was also decided that teams
could play league games with any
number of registered players on the
field during a game, but not to ex
ceed teii men per team.

The Greenwood Co-operative Cred
it association which has supplied the

holders what money they have in
vested. There was no debts and no
loans outstanding and with the cash
to take care of the shareholders they
vountarily concluded to discontinue
business and surrender their charter.
