The Demand for Competent
Women Accountants Ex-
ceeds the Supply.
BY Mary Marshall,
CHAPTER Xxx.

CHAPTER %H.
In every business undertaking-eyery
thing from a college to a j-and-l0-cent
store-a bookkeeper is needed. Whether
times are duh or lively, no matter how
methods Of business vary there must al
ways be bookkeepers and accountants. 30
although bookkeeping is not one OF the
professions that at present draws large
numbers Of women recruits, it is neverthe-
less one that offers as sure and as steady
occupation in all parts Of the country, IN
season and out Of season, as any that a
woman might choose.
Every profession has its ups and downs-
times when the supply Of workers Is ne
low the demand and times when FOR one
reason or another it exceeds the demand.
lust at present there are not nearly enough
women bookkeepers TO fill the demands for
them bv the business world-that is, wom-
en- bookkeepers who are trained and COM
petent i'm their profession Many of the
large business schools complain that young
women who want to go into office work
take up typewritng and stenography and
leave bookkeeping almost entirely TO their
male competitors.
In one or the most nOleO New lbiN D''''
ness schools this state Of affairs Is par
ticularly marked. OF class Of dozen
bookkeepers only two or three are girls
while the classes Of stenographers ana
tvpewriters have barely two men TO dozen
women. The result is that all Of the many
calls that come to this school for women
bookkeepers cannot be tlled.
1T Is not only that fewer young women
are studying bookkeeping" said the prin-
cipal Of this school, but not infrequently
they drop bookkeeping after few weeks
effort and go of into stenography and
tvpewritng. simply because bookkeeping
requires a little more application at the
outset"
In almost every edition of your favorite
large city newspaper you will undoubtedly
discover, if you take tho trouble TO look'
advertisements for women bookkeepers,
Commercial employment agencies also offer
many opportunities to the trained woman
bookkeeper.
! The fact is that at present there is a
| demand for a goodly number Of trained
women accountants who know tho prin-
ciples Of modern financial methods. and
! the Young woman who is naturally quick at
figures. who sees the signs Of the times
and studies bookkeeping, is quite sure te
reap = comfortable reward in the way OF
immediate employment and sure income.
II has often been said that the realm OF
| ngures and accounts Is more distinctly
mans than woman's; but at the same time
there are many business women OF wid'
experience who prefer women bookkeeper'
and who always employ them in preference
to men. This preference is 10 he found ir

The latest idea OF those women who have
acquired the borrowing habit is to request
the loan Of jewelry for any occasion on
which they wish to make a particularly

these things promptly It wouldn't be 80

silver shop, and after picking out tea set

"and thing like ribbon under them, with
something foreign written on it in square

out his book on heradic designs and the
woman borrowed It so that she might take

that she had chosen this tree. because my

REDISTRICTING OF
COUNTIES OPPOSED
Precinct Office Holders Are
Elated Over Opinion by
Secretary of State.


Bisbee, Ariz-, Aug. 26.-Within the
next ten days the supreme court viii
probably be asked to issue an injunc-
ton fOrbidding the redistricting of
the counties of the state into new
justice precincts If not this, individ-
uals in each county will act separately
and take the matter up through the
superior courts This is understood TO
be the plan under consideration in this
county.
Bisbee incumbents of precinct offices
are elated over a letter written by the
secretary Of the ella county board Of
supervisors, stating that that board
had been advised by the secretary Of
state Sidney Osburn. that present pre-
cinct incumbents hold office until 1915
and advising the board to make no
changes either as to the personnel or
the salary of precinct officers in that
county. 1t is assumed that the secre-
tary of state based his instructions
on advice of the attorney general
Under the law providing for the
redistricting of the counties into
justice precincts. the boards of super
visorS must do this at their first meet
ing in September and appoint officials
for the new precincts whose terms
will begin on January 1, 1913.
The chairman of the Cochise county
board, Gus Hickey. said that he had
received no such instructions from the
secretary of state and that under the
law the board would on the first
Tuesday of next month redistrict the
county and appoint new officials.
that is unless he is contrarily advised
by attorney general Billiard or is re-
strained by a court order
There are four candidates for ap-
pointment as justice of the Bis5ce
