PREDICTS GOOD
AUTO SEASON
Recent Show Proved Slim
uluS to the Business.
LOCAL DEALERS OPTIMISTIC
Despite the Bad Weather, Many
Sales Have Been Reported, and
Be More Numerous Than Ever.
Auto Dealers as a Class.

During the fag end Of the 1910 auto
mobile season wild rumors We're being
spread about the impending failure of
many of the leading automobile firms.
Hardly a day passed but a report con-
cerning the financial troubles of some
one of the larger automobile concerns
was circulated. 1t was predicted that
the automobile industry had reached its
zenith and would gradually decline. 1t
was assorted that it was another fad
like the bicycle.
Reports from cities where automobile
shows have already been held and where
they are to take place shortly, do not
bear cut this statement On the contrary
they tend to prove that never was the
industry on a better footing and that the
demand for motor cars instead of wan
ing is increasing.
Opinion of Local Dealers.
According to the local dealers there is
only a remote chance of any stagnation
in the automobile market here during the
coming year. One and all, they are of
the opinion that this season will be the
best they have ever had. The large at
tendance at the recent show and the
number of live prospects they have all
obtained from it. are given as the reason
for this prediction Though weather dur
ing the past week has been cold. raw
and disagreeable- number of sales
have been made as a direct result of the
show. Many more will be made as soon
as the weather warns up sufficiently so
that the saleman can go out for a demon

The use of the automobile has become
very general in this city, and has almost
entirely supplanted the horse. 1t is
willing slave. Not only is il used for
pleasure, but business purposes as well.
Perhaps one Of the best evidences of its
popularity is the number of cars parked
about the Ellipse during any of the social
functions held at the White House.

ON DINING LEISURELY.
Southern Paper Insists America N

People Do Not hnO" How 10 Dine.
From the Richmond Times Dispatch.
From that quick lunch city of Atlanta
there comes the voice of protest from
the Atlanta Journal. insisting that the
American people do not know how to
dine. There is much merit in the atti-
tude of our contemporary, though in
these days of the high cost of living
there must be haste lest creditors take
away the dinner Bankruptcy lawyers
even now are said to be figuring on some
scheme by which TO attach the equity
of a mans supper after his dinner has
been taken away by writ of habeas
corpus.

been criticising the people of America
because they dine far too rapidly.

A Fairly Wet World.

The Pacific Ocean covers $1,000, ,COC
miles. the Atlantic 3o.O0OOo0, and the In
dian. Arctic, and Antarctic 100000 To
stow away the contents of the Pacific
it would be necessary to fill a tank one
mile long. one mile wide, and one mile
deep every day for 40 years. Put in
figures the Pacific holds in weight 94S,

The Atlantic averages a depth of not
quite three miles. Its water weighs 325.-
600, 600 900, 900, 100000 tons, and a tank to
contain it would have each of its sides
$50 miles long. The figures of the other
oceans are in the same startling proper

in the world 100000 years to flow over

Getting Even.
the Worcester Gazette.

From the Worcester Gazette.
Down South they have a way of re-
membering the feelings engendered in
political contests. In Alabama the gov
ernor's salary has been 5000 a year.
Just before he was to retire the legis-
lature rushed through a bill raising the
salary to $500. Gov. Corners successor
is to be Emmet O'Neal, elected for a
four-year term. There was some bitter
ness between the two during the CAM
paign. Gov. Conner has killed the salary
raise by means of the pocket veto. His
successor will have therefore $4,000 less
to spend during his four years in Office.
Surely this is getting even with an op-

Supply OF Pulp Wood.

From Consular Reports.
Just what quantity of pulp wood is now
on hand in this province is difficult to
state. as the estimates vary all the way
from 100000 to 100000 cords.
From a personal examination along the
various railway lines it seems certain that
south of the St Lawrence there are at
this time no less than 10000 cords stacked
up at or near the several railway sta
tions. There may be $1,000 cords more at
remOter places. In the territory to the
north of the river there are at least 1OO-
900 additional cords. making a total of
100000 and possibly much more. exclusive
of the supply at the pulp mills required
in making their pulp.
This wood supply is not controlled by a
few large dealers. but is in many different
hands in amounts varying from a few
hundred to many thousands of cords.

WOMAN BANKERS A SUCCESS.
Kansas Has so of Them in Actual
Management of Institutions.

From the Western Banker
Kansas women are coming 20 the front
rapidly as bankers Ten years ago only
two women held official positions in the
banks of that State. To-day there are
more than $50. OF this number four are
presidents, fifteen vice presidents, fifty
cashiers, 80 assistant cashiers, and 80
directors This does not take into ac-
count stenographers and bookkeepers.
1t only includes the list of women who
have some say in the actual manage
ment of the banks.
IF women were at the head of all
our financial institutions there would be
little need OF bank supervision. and there
would be no bankers colony in our
penitentiaries."
This declaration was made by Miss
Anna SpeCk. of the bank commissioner $
Office, whose work is to go through the
reports Of the bank examiners and tell
the bankers what ails their institutions
the conditions of Kansas State banks
than any other person. 1t is her business
to know, and she does not Shirk her duty.
1t will no doubt be news TO many bankers
to know that the letters they receive
from the bank commissioner telling them
where their banks are out OF joint are
prepared by woman. But such is a
fact.
THE advance made by women in the
banking business, especially in the past
five years, is remarkable said Miss
Speck. They are now filling positions
of responsibility. and their keen insight
into things. their ability to read people,
and their absolute honesty have made
them invaluable in banking circles. Re
ports which reach my desk show that
bank whose affairs are managed by a
woman is in splendid condition. The
banking room and desk present a neat
appearance the books are in balance, the
legal reserve is intact. overdrafts are
few, the paper is clean and well secured.
and the general affairs of the bank are
in every way above criticism
