ECHO OF THE DRUMS
Hardly has the echo of the propaganda arums,de
picting the United States as literally wallowing in wealth,
died away when we ? ead that a regional analysis of say
ings deposits in banks reveals that for the first time in
20 years there is a recession in national savings. In June,
1929, the total savings deposits in banks and trust com
panies in continental United States stood at $28,217,656,
000, which was $195,805,000 below the total for 1928,
when there was an increase of $2,300,000,000.
The losses are principally in the Eastern Central,
Middle Atlantic, Southern and West Central States, the
hulk of which are agricultural states.
Incidentally we read that of the 25,000,000 people
who are accustomed to work for wages some 4,000,000
are idle.
The shrinkage of savings deposits may be traced in
a measure to the grand racketeering in Wall Street,
plus a studied program of encouraging extravagances
among the masses. But even with this spirited buying
power, which should have kept industry at its peak of
activity, we find an unemployment crisis, and slogans of
“fire but don’t hire at 40."

the passengers.
To provide for emergency re
pairs on board the Europa there
are complete machine plants.
There are seven watertight com
partments in all for the boiler
and .mine plants. The auxiliary
machinery as well as t>^ electrical
generators and dynamos are lo
cated aft of the main engine
room. The main propulsion plant
consists of two sets of turbines
forward, and two aft. each set
consisting of high pressure, inter
mediate and low nressure tur
bines. being connected with one
of the four screws through single
reduction gears which reduce the
turbine sneed of 2.100 r. p. m. to
210 r. n. m. of the nronellers. The
turbines are described as being
completely insulated against loss
of teeth.
Steam is generated in oil fired
water-tube boilers and electric
power is generated by four large
Diesel-driven dynamos supplying
current to 420 electric motors of
various kinds and an equal num
ber of auxiliary machines. The
ventilating machinery is required
to circulate 3.200 000 cubic meters
of air per hour. For emergency
use the regular electric lighting
Diants are supplemented by two
large Diesel-driven dynamos lo
cated on the sun deck.
Lifeboats of the Europa are all
motorized and equipped with ra
dio apparatus, and accommodate
4,100 persons, 25 per cent more
than the combined number of
passengers and crew.
Provisions carried by the Eu
ropa for the round trip between
Bremerhaven and New York in
clude 46,000 pounds of fresh meat,
meat extracts, sausages, etc., 1.50C
pounds of poultry, 3,000 pounds of
game, 27,000 pounds of fresh fish
and other seafood, 1,380 boxes of
preserved fish, 3,810 boxes of can*
ned vegetables, 190 cans of mush
rooms, 2.100 cans of fruit, 1.400
pounds of sauerkraut, 10,700
pounds of flour, 12,500 pounds of
tea, coffee, cocoa and sugar. 9,
000 pounds of butter, 14,000
pounds of milk and cream, 2,400
pounds of cheese, 146.800 pounds
of eegs and 7,700 pounds of ice
cream.
The propellers are of bronze,
each cast in one piece. Each
j weighs about 14 tons.
j The smokestacks, instead of be
ins, near-shaned, as in the case
of the Bremen, are of elliptical
shane, measuring 50 feet long di
ameter, by 21 feet short diameter.
The masts are approximately 236
j feet in height from the keel.
There are three bridges.
Captain Johnsen
Captain Nicolas Johnsen of the
Europa is the Commodore of the
Llovd fleet. He has been in the
service of the company for over
30 years. Ten years ago he com
manded the Lloyd's largest pas
senger steamer of 700 gross tons.
Caotain Johns°n was born in 1869
at Lubeck and went to sea at the
age of 16. Until recently he com
manded the steamer Columbus.
One of the most strikingly dec
orated features is the swimming
oo61. The pool itself measures
about 20 by ^5 feet and is lined
, with blue-green tiles. Brightly
‘colored mosaics line the walls of
the room. Ernest Kueppers, fam
jous German swimming champion,
; is the swimming instructor on
|board.
Passengers in first class can
| take their meals in a special res
taurant, located on the sun deck,
which is open during the entire
trip. All meals taken in the res
taurant are charged separately
and not included on fare.
On board is a Travel Bureau,
which supplies information to the
'passengers on trains, airplane and
steamer connections to all part?
of Europe. Reservations and tic*

If you enjoy good costuming
and appreciate the task it is to
costume more than 40 people and
have every detail right as to
coloring, cut and natural, you
will appreciate the costumes in
“The Dawning,” which is to be
presented Friday evening, April
17, at the Liberty theater, by the
Jesse Lee Home.
Great care has been taken to
have the costumes historically
correct and that they might be
artistically done. Works of the
great artists have been studied
and the costumes and colorings
copied.
Workers at the Jesse Lee Home
have worked long and faithfully
dving materials, sewing and pre
paring the costumes so that when
! the curtain goes up on the first
scene, everyone will be properly
: clothed from the Roman centuri
;an, in his military cape and ar
mor, to the smallest child.
Mrs. Mary Alice Engberg, former
resident of Juneau, passed away at
Santa Clara, Calif, recently.
