PROBLEMS A GIRL FACES
Mrs. Charters Talks on Religion in
Relation to Education.

How can a University Girl Recon-
cile Her Religious Belief and Her Ed
ucation" was the subject. Of a talk, by
Mrs. w. w. Charters, yesterday at the
Y. w. C. A. meeting.
"A college girl usually has to face
four problems when she comes to
study science and philosophy" said
Mrs. Charters. "Is there a God? Is
prayer worth while? Is there such a
thing as good? Is there Immortality
She suggested that the answer to
the first furnishes satisfactory key
to the solution of the others; that We
have religious instincts and expert
ences proves that there is something
to be worshipped-someth which is
God
Mrs. Charters said in closing that
an educated woman's criticism should
not be destructive. as it so often is,
but constructive, especially in matters
of religious belief.

SPEAKS FOR MONETARY PLAN
Deputy Controller Fisher Addresses
the Jewellers Board of Trade.

Members of the Jewellers Board of Trade
were addressed at their monthly luncheon
at No Is Maiden Lane yesterday by Dep
uty Controller Edmund D. Fisher, who
discussed the plan Of the Monetary Com
mission now before Congress for the regu-
lation OF financial conditions.
Under the present banking system, Mr..
Fisher said, so-called fundamental con-
diuons were sound only when business
was comparatively poor The creation Of a
central reserve association, as proposed by
the commission, would insure the sound
ness Of those conditions when business was
good, and the bankers Of the country would
be enabled to handle the next active period
OF business without financial difficulty.
He also said the creation Of such an or
EanizatiOn, with its collection OF checks by
mail its telegraph transfer, advances on
approved commercial paper through the
principle Of rediscount, the exclusion of
collateral loans and the placing Of the
governing board of the commission on a
plane where IL represented the banking ana
commercial interests of the entire country,
would eliminate every influence which now
assisted In the creation of a panic. and
would do away also with the possibility of
political or money trust" control.

the contest in the third district of
Oklahoma.
A. A. Davidson. appearing for the

conventions held at Tulsa on the same
day. With a majority of delegates

convention was held according to the
call. Sixteen of the 10 counties We're
represented by 361 delegates. declared
Mr.: Davidson.

Realizing majority of the voters
were for Roosevelt, the Taft men de-
eided to hold convention of their
own. They went to place not desig-
mated in the call We sent a photog-
