Women, says Gen. Spinner, are more
efficient IN the treasury department
than men. They can count money more
rapidly and accurately, and are the
shrewdest and quickest de,ectors of coun-
terfeiis, and the records of the department
do not show case where a woman was
ever dismissed on account of dishonesty
