Controller Makes New Record.

J. Skelton Williams, controller of the
currency. has established a new record
for calls" on the national banks under
lis charge. The law provides for a
minimum of five calls for statements in
each calendar year. There is no maxi
mum limit.
Local bank officials who have been in
harness during the years that the ma
tional bank act has been in operation
allege that never before has a controll-
called for more than five statements
i'll one year.
The sixth call of 1914, made this morn
ing. was for report of condition at
the close of business December 81, 1914.
1t was not altogether unexpected. as
few bank officials considered it like
ly that the federal reserve board would
need the Information to be furnished,
perhaps for future comparisons.
Many of the banks will show very
satisfactory increases in total de-
poSits; some few will show more or
less heavy losses due to payments of
dividends, Withdrawals for the holiday
season and other causes.
But the great bulk of January dis
bursements on interest and dividend
account. for which checks had been
mailed that day, was still in the banks.
January brought large increase to
the banks in deposits and since then
the deposits of the savings banks
especially have been increasing at
rate that promises to make 1915 a
record year in economies.

wives-work them half to death. But
physical drudgery does not develop
power. The slave wife is as badly off
as the doll wife.
A wife. should neither be a drudge
nor a dressed-up doll; she should de-
velop herself by self-effort, just as
her husband develops himself. She
should not put herself in a position
where her inventiveness and resource.
fulness and individuality, her talent,
will be paralyzed by lack Of motive.
Everything in the whole environ

A healthy mind must be an active
mind. Vigor and strength cannot be

For centuries women themselves &C

But since the higher discovery of
woman in the last century a new or

Women are becoming less and less
dependent upon. men and more in.
clined to live their own lives. They
are. beginning to e their own pos
sibilities, that they can have careers
and ambitions as well as men. The
girl Of today expects a liberal edu-
cation and looks forward to a career
of her own. Women have at last
learned that men have not monopo-
lized all the genius, that ability
knows no sex. And the wife is be.
ginning to realize that there Is one
thing she should guard as the very
jewel Of her soul; that is, the deter
mination to keep pace with her hus-

II Ill sorts Of fancy shell combs, or
II namental hairpihs. hair bands and
small bsrettes, bespeak the return to
favor Of more elaborate styles in hair
dressing. The combs are shaped in
so many different ways and made in
so many different sizes that n con-
Guides they are fashioned to be worn
in any position on the head which
suits the fancy.
A great variety in shell combs, pins
and ornaments are set with rhine
stones and sparkling colored stones.
The combs and other ornaments r
shown In tortoise colorings. amber,
black, white, and gray. Besides white
rhinestones there are settings In en-
erald. amethyst, garnet and topaz
colors. Pill
A popular comb, Of which an exam
pie is shown In the picture, is made
to wear when the hair Is done In
a French coil. IL is long and the teeth
are Joined to a band which is some
times narrower at one end than at the
other, and sometimes pointed at the
ends. This comb may be had with
the teeth hinged on SO that 1t can be
adjusted to, the head in different po-
sitions. A single row of stones, or a
row extending all around the edge Of
the band, gives a pretty sparkle to
this comb. Often the band is entirely
encrusted with stones. This more
than doubles the price Of the comb
without adding much to its attrac-
ton.
A very popular large shell pin is
shown in the picture. One or two Of
these pins Is thrust in the hair at
the sides when it is coiled low. Or
a pair Ia sometimes seen in a long
French coil.

plain; some of them are in very fancy

Of white mercerized embroidery along
the edges.
Some pretty sets for dresses or
