Auto Tires May Be
 Sent Parcel Post

Automobile tires, if properly wrap ped. can go through the mail, par eel post In letter from the third assistant postmaster-general to an automobile company of Seattle, the manner of measuring auto tires is explained. Considerable trouble had been met in getting auto tires ac- cepted in the mail, and the eXplana- tion from Washington has straight ened out the matter.
 The letter in part is as follows:
 After careful consideration of the matter it has been decided that in measuring an automobile tire or cas- ing which is so wrapped as to leave clear space in the center, the out side diameter shall be taken as the length, and the distance around the body of the tire, that is, the mere circumference of the tubing or cas- ing, shall be taken as the girth. T ol ChdHlpAoJ lllC ol StloidS o- inches in diameter, the tubing casing being 31A inches thick, would have length of 32 inches, while it's girth would be approximately II inches, making the length and girth combined 43 inches. and, therefore, within the limit of size prescribed for fourth class or parcel post mail
 However, in measuring a tire or casing which Is so wrapped as to form a circular shaped solid parcel, or leaves no perfectly clear space in the center, the outside diameter of the parcel shall be taken as the length, and twice it's diameter and thickness as it's girth."

Berlin Has Only
 Bank for Women

In Berlin recently was held a novel social function at the "Woman's s Bank" the only financial institution in the world exclusively organized by and conducted for women.
 To celebrate it's five years success full existence the bank invited sev- eral hundred distinguished persons to attend a breakfast" at it's prem ises to listen to an account of its prosperity and future plans.
 The clou of the event was the an nouncement that the bank had de cided to issue a daily financial jour- nal for women, the first in the world. It will start with an edition of 30,- 900, which represents the bank $ present list of shareholders and clients.
 The paper will be devoted not only to the interests of the bank, but also to all financial and commercial topics of feminine interest. The assets of the bank now amount roundly to s25O,OO0. A per cent dividend was paid in 1912.
 The bank accepts desposits and transacts general banking and stock exchange business for both sexes. One of the attractions held out to women depositors is that they can keep a check account without the permission of their husbands" which is a formality the other banks in Germany enforce.
