Matron's Beautiful Figure, Admired

At dinner party given lately In
Paris one lady was remarked above
all others for the elegance of her fig.

During the mauvais quart d'heure be

host Of admirers, and one less bashful
than the rest ventured to offer her the
flower from his buttonhole. 1t was
accepted. but as the princess robe"
worn by the graceful creature was
laced behind, it was necessary to
fasten the flower to the front Of her
dress with a pin. The operation was
successfully performed, and the fair
lady was led in to dinner, by the
donor of the flower. They were hard.

Money Value Of Women,

| II you are married woman, and
were asked to tell just what you were
worth In hard cash to your husband,
what figure would you name? The
question Is not fanciful one by any
means, but has been a subject OF ju.
dicial consideration.
1t was this way: The wife OF an
Iowa farmer bought gallon OF what
purported to be kerosene, but which
was afterward shown to be 81 per
cent. gasoline When the woman used
some of It to start fire with the stun
exploded, and she was burnt to death
and her three children were seriously
Injured. The woman's husband sued
the dealers for damages and the jury
awarded him $25 for tho loss of his
wife and $2997l per child on account
OF injuries
The defendants evidently thought
that woman was not worth $25. for
they took an appeal from the verdict.
The learned court. however, declined
to look at it in that light, and the
judgment was affirmed.-New York

every dollar saved through build
ing and loan association is a life
boat in which women and children
first are to be rescued and sheltered
when the captain of the family takes
his last plunge from the bridge OF
his domestic ship.
Is 1t any wonder that the race
of men who have learned to sacrl-
flee day by day for the safety of
these women and children should die
with courage and resignation when
the crisis appears? The Building
and Loan Associations have had more
to do with intoxicating this practical
ideal and making all men alike in the
presence of the threatened family
than any other social business move
ment
The Building and Loan Associations
have for eighty one years, on this
continent been and will continue to
be the practical life-boat for wo-
men and children endangered in the

STATE BANKS AND
CLEARING HOUSE
DECIDE UPON CREATION OF
CLEARING HOUSE ORANlZA-
TlON TO HANDLE BUSINESS.

Oklahoma City, okla, July 81
The creation of a clearing house
organization which shall handle the
business affairs of the association,
being strictly business organiza-
tion and not subject to the social
distractions which are incident to
all bankers association meetings,
was decided upon at special meet
ing of the State Bankers section
of the State Bankers Association
here today.
The plan is for some stockholder
in each state bank to take stock in
the new organization, each bank to
have one vote in its management.
The further details of the organiza-
ton are left in the hands of an ex-
ecutive committee of seven, to be
named by the president. This plan
was reported by committee OF
which H. NJ. Spaulding of Enid was
chairman and John j. Gerlach Of
Woodward was secretary, and was
adopted by the association.
There has been some talk of state
bankers forming an entirely sepa-
rate association, but it was decided
to continue the state bankers sec
ton as now constituted, and retain
the same officers, with the addi-
ton of the new executive commit

Guaranty Law Discussed.

While there was much discussion
of proposed amendments to the bank
guaranty law, no action was taken
by the association on any proposition
of that sort. The bankers seemed to
be quite generally satisfied with the
principle of the law, but without crit
icising the bank commissioner, or
the banking board they expressed
the belief that it was costing them
too much money and they wanted to
see some change that would remedy
that condition. There was also a
general sentiment that the banking
board should be taken out of politics
so far as possible.
Some of the bankers favored
change which would make the law
voluntary, instead of compulsory as
at the present time. But it was diff
ficult to tell how general the feeling
was.

The Other View.
The public's view was not so dlher-
emf from that Of the water company
as might be supposed. Its attack was
not upon the act Of shutting doWh
altogether, but upon the cOnoluoh
that made the waste Of half a million
gallons daily a menace TO the properly
Of the city. Mr.. Balm declared tha'
he had calmly weighed the SITUATION.
and thai while there would DC mo-
mentary danger if fire broke out, the
protection under an adequate supply
of water would be much greater with
the necessary loss Of time IN getting
the pumps 10 work than It Wouiu oe
under a condition OF constant waste
and dangerous dram.
There was considerable feeling last
night and one of the institutions OF
the CITY, which must Of necessity run

its inadequacy and the ease with

know that it is limited and that there
is no large margin between actual and
capacity consumption. But there
ought to be. II the pipes are toe
small, there ought to be larger pipes
and if the reservoir is so limited, there
ought to be q bigger tank. It's the
whole trouble. The supply is not
large enough for Raleigh.
The only danger does not lie II
the delay that may result from con.
nection with the reservoir and pump
ing. Suppose there should be {
broken pole or wire making connec
ton with the pump station iInpOSSi
