WOMAN VALUABLE IN BANK.
Oregon Concern Finds New Method Is

One of the new departures in bank
ing methods is the bid that Is made for
women's accounts City banks have
had a department for women for some
time. but only lately have country
banks and trust companies taken hold
of the plan.
The woman's department of the
Portland Trust Company of Oregon
was established something over three
years ago. 1t is really branch of the
advertising or publicity work, proceed
ing upon the lines of populariZing the
bank and making it q subject of con-
versation among the women of the
city.
competent business woman is In
charge as superintendent of this de-
partment. Every accommodation and
courtesy is extended to women patrons
in the way of explaining matters OF
business with which they are unfa-
miliar, assisting them in the prepara-
tion of checks, drafts and other papers
when they open an account.
In addition to her duties in the bank
the superintendent makes frequent
calls upon women whose business 1t is
desirable to obtain and also extends
assistance to those who may need 1T.
If, for example, one of the banks
clients or a stranger is i'll and desires
advice or assistance in the preparation
of any paper or in the handling of any
business the superintendent waits upon

AERIAL BUOYS ARE PATENTED
German Aeronauts Want Channels
Marked In Sky

German aeronauts are already talk
ing about the mapping out of properly
lighted airship tracks for the guidance
of dirigibles and aeroplanes travelling
by night or when weather conditions
make 1t necessary for airmen to fig
above low hanging clouds which hide
the landscape. The technical paper

Just been issued for new system of
stationary luminous aerial buoys of
enormous candle power.
They are to be connected by wires
with the earth. Different colors are
proposed as signals indicating threat
ening storms, the direction of the sur
face winds and dangerous landing
places.
The only objection seems to be the
cost of lighting q whole air track,
as buoys to be effective should
not be placed too far apart. Never
theless, 1t seems the system Is going
to be adopted for start by some
large cities to equip their landing
places for airships.

CLEVELAND ANCESTOR SLAVE.
Sold For Sixteen Gallons of Rum In
Massachusetts,.

Through the efforts of residents of
the town of Westfield, the genealogy
of the late President Cleveland may
soon be worked out, thus revealing
one Of the most romantic chapters in
the early history of Massachusetts.
On tour of Investigation, which
has occupied most of the last ten
years, and which, with It's last stop
ping place in Westfield, has now led
to the island of Guernsey in the Eng
lish channel, Miss Rose Cleveland, Sis
ter of the late president, thus hopes
soon to set forth new chapter in the
history of the famous president.
Through this search, now temporar-
lily halted in the little island where
Miss Cleveland is at present carrying
on the work, there has been establish
ed beyond doubt the fact that two
generations of ancestors of Grover
Cleveland were after their arrival in
America, some 200 years ago, held in
slavery, one Of them, the late presi-
dents great-grandfather, being sold to
a woman In Canada for sixteen gal
Ions of rum.

that 1t was quite practicable. And,
Notwithstanding the great success of
the poem, Scott never grew conceted
over it.
Never was he partisan of his own
poetry" Ballantyne relates, recitlng an
anecdote. Being one day in Scott's
library shortly after the poem was
published, he asked Miss Sophia Scott
how she liked 1t. She replied with
perfect simplicity:
"Oh, have not read II! Papa says
there's nothing so bad for young peo-
pie as reading bad poetry"

WOMEN BUILD BOONE TRIBUTE
Male Kentuckians Ignore Pioneer Who
Built Their State.

In keeping with comment that the OBJ
servation of Memorial day is falling
largely into the hands of the women
of the land is the information that the
monument recently erected In the cap
ital of Kentucky to Daniel Boone is
the result of an effort by women.
For decades men had talked and
done nothing to commemorate this
notable specimen Of the hardy and in
telligent pioneer-the frontiersman
with an indomitable will, big brain
and an unerring gun. Possessed in
high degree of those qualities that are
essentially masculine, Daniel Boone,
It seems, should have especially ap-
pealed to men. But the appeal that
was heard and needed was that which
his character and career made to wo-
men.
And so there stands in Frankfort q
modest but sufficient monument to
the man who, leading the exodus from
Pennsylvania into Kentucky in the
early days, helped so signally to lay
the foundation Of civilization.

Centennial OF

For Tourist Travel.
SPEND 100000 A SEASON

Sir Walters Third Great Poem Stiii
Widely Read--Author Made Money
Out of Work, Unlike Milton and
Goldsmith, but Never Grew Con-
ceited.
This year, 1910, is the centennial Of
Sir Walter Scott's third great poem,
''The Lady of the Lake." which is still
widely read. Today all Scotland rises
up and calls its author blessed, for the
canny Scot calculates that during each
season tourists spend at least $1,000
600 In seeing the spots made historical
by the great master Of the English Ian
guage.
The bard of Abbotsford didn't lose
by the poem either. He wouldn't sell
his rights for mess of pottage, as did
John Milton with his Paradise Lost
or Goldsmith for some of his classics.
Scott got $4,000 for the copyright and
received more in after life.
Poem Created Sensation.
None of Scotts former works was
ever looked for with half the anxiety
as was the case with ''The Lady Of the
Lake" The cantos as they were sent
to the press were read to select circles
by James Ballantyne, and popular
opinion greatly favored them. Every.
where 1t was anticipated that great
poem would appear, and when 1t was
published 1t excited an extraordinary
sensation.
The first edition Of 2,O50 was soor
sold out, and then followed In quich
succession four editions, SO that In 9
few months 10000 copies were sold
ALI the criticisms Of the poem were ir
its favor.

No Mistake After All
BY GERALD PRIME


Three months after she had prom
fsed TO marry Dick Hathaway. Molly
Abernathy was convinced that she
had made a mistake. In a little less
than that time It was made clear to
Dick Hathaway that It would be
criminal on his part to marry Molly
Abernathy.
And that was not at all because
Molly had become less attractive or
Dick less than the perfect upright
fellow he always had been. After an
almost uninterrupted companionship
of considerably longer than the pc
riod Of their engagement, each was
as willing as ever to bear testimony
TO the superlatively good qualities Of
the other and would have been high
ly indignant over any suggestion 10
the contrary Molly still regarded
Dick as "the dearest fellow in the
world" and Dick had no desire to re-
call his estimate of Molly as the
sweetest girl on the footstool." Moth
ing whatever had occurred to con

scientious young persons of incon.

right back to it's starting point
Like all heavenly bodies the nu-
cleus of the comet revolves and its
rotary motion causes the celtrifu-
gal force which would hurl it off in
the straight line it had started out
on, if it were not counteracted by
the force of gravitation that pulls it
toward the sun.
For the next II years these two
forces will nearly balance each
other, and the comet will be going
at a pretty stiff speed in almost a
straight line from us and the sun,
But along about 1922 its speed will
begin to diminish very noticeably
and as a consequence it will begin
to curve toward the sun and from
the straight line which would carry
it away forever.
In 1910 it will be going still

days to make year in Neptune.
AS the comet stumbles feebly on
past the outermost planet, its cen
trifugal force is too small to resist
the suns force of gravitation and it
succumbs to the inevitable. 1t be
gins to realize that it cannot escape
its master. the sun. and reluctantly
