NEW SORT OF BANK EMPLOYE
Business Woman Placed in Charge
and Responsible for Getting
Women's Accounts.

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 a branch OF the
advertising or publicity work, proceed
ing upon the lines of popularizing the
bank and making it a subject of con
yersation among the women of TIE
city.
A 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 prepare
ton 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 It,
II. for example, one of the banks
clients or a stranger is i'll and desires
advice or assistance in the prepare
ton of any paper or in the handling OF
any business the superintendent
waits upon her at her home anc
spends as much time as may be neces
sary in aiding her. In this way some
very desirable results have beer
gained.-System.

NOT ACCORDING TO PROGRAM
Practical Joker Meant to Astonish
His Wife, and Doubtless
He Did.

When the first shipment of frozen
eggs arrived from Australia their ex-
IRENE hardness astonished the brok-
ers.
One man, calling at brokers' office,
was amazed to see him taking aim at
the wall with an egg
What the dickens are you att" he
said
But the broker let drive, the only
result being a slight dent in the wall.
The thing being explained, the man
took a couple of the eggs, put them
in his pocket, and left to startle his
wife Arriving home, he waited till
the family was assembled for dinner,
and then banged an egg at the new
dado.
But the smile quickly faded from
his face. The egg had thawed.-Lon-

This sum will be shared equally by

Since the first of the year the old
wooden bridge, which has been
standing since 1903, has been con-

for all sorts of hauling, as well as
lighter purposes, and it has been
