The second thing is to be careful in
her calculations, and not TO have ora
sures and figures crossed out, or
scratched out in her bank book In
other words, care and precision are
necessary.
Another thing she must remember
is that when there Is a difference be-
tween her account and the bank. the
bank should be given the chance to
look the matter up. The bank is apt
to be in the right, as the bank CLERKS
are experts; yet, IL they are wrong,
they are always willing to acknowledge
their mistake.
These points cover the technical
side. The next thing is to be careful
not to make overdrafts.
Women do not always realize the
importance OF banking matters.
Banking is q matter of exactitude.
There IL no hidden mystery about II;
1t Is a plain and simple transaction,
on the same idea as a definite letter.
Nothing can be nearly right; either
it is right or It is not.
Where l went to school In Massa-
chusetts, a banking department was
carried out in the school, and we were
taught to understand 1t by depositing
our allowances and then drawing
against them rs in the regular bank.
In Miss Spence's school in New York,
girls are taught to attend to banking
matters and to keep a check book in
order. as part Of their course in math-
ematics.
Bank accounts really help women
to overcome a wrong sense of values,
an erratic sense OF saving, and the
make money easily, spend money
easily attitude. This Ia the banking
side: the do and don't of investment

B. Keen, assistant superintendent of

Dietrich, secretary of the Brooklyn
Branch of the Young Mems Christian
Association.
In opening the discussion of the
afternoon, Captain Hobson said that
he estimated the loss of efficiency in
the country in general due to the
present consumption of Intoxicating
liquors to be more than 81 Ia per
cent. and said Russia had increased
its efficiency 90 per cent since the
sale OF alcoholic liquors had been
abolished.
Science proves that this nation
must become sober or perish" he
concluded. Russia has discovered
this and taken the necessary steps.
Germany has done much. The ma
ton that does not become dry Is GO
ing to fall behind or perish"

The next speaker, william II. An
derson, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of New York. said
that 1t was not sportsmanlike OF the
liquor men to claim that prohibition
does not prohibit. and then try to
block the enforcement OF the law.
New York city. he said, was not yet
ready for prohibition.
Edgar l. Hanson, former Mayor OF
Belfast, Me-, then took vigorous
stand against prohibition. saying
iniquity and damage had followed II
in Maine.

sport suits are invented. There is not
only a chance for them to be worn in
skating Kinks, but also in the wide,
sunny stretches of the far South.
where 80 many thousands Of tourists
are going next month.
This jersey cloth gives as much
warmth as flannel and has more grace.
1t carries off the lines OF the figure
to better advantage, and has the fas-
cination of novelty. In oyster white
it is quite effective for coat suits, es-
pecially when trimmed with the wide
Roman stripes that are again coming
into fashion. In this neutral color
tho cloth also allows a woman to car
nv out whatever color scheme she has
in mind for a muffler and a sport
hat, both of which are now watched
by the milliners.
For those who are not afraid OF
color there are blazing coat suits in
this cloth made up in the conventional
way which viii be used throughout
the spring and summer.

New York, N Y, Feb. 24.-lf Con-
gress does not enact nationwide pro-
hibition by Federal statute, the States
will take the matter into their own
hands and call a constitutional con-
vention, which will amend the organic
law of the country SO as to prevent
the sale of intoxicating liquors, Cap
tain Richmond Pearson Hobson, for
mer congressman from Alabama, told
number of men representing large
beer and wine interests, who were
guests of the Republican Club at the
luncheon and nonpartisan discussion
held at the club, 81 West Fortieth
Street.
AS Captain Hobson began his
warning his audience became very
still. For three hours there had been
a spirited debate, which the speaker
had opened on the practicahility of
Federal prohibition. Then Captain
Hobson took the floor again.
~ am going to do something that
may shock my other associates in
this cause. l do this because the big
liquor men are here" announced the
speaker. II want to tell these men
that the possibility of getting consid-
Grafton for themselves Is fast fleeing
l believe 1t is possible even now, II
they would not attempt to fight the
movement for prohibition by the
methods that they have employed. but
should become good citizens and strive
to uphold the law and attempt to Sc
cure the temperate use of their pro-
ducts, that when their trade Is for
ever done away with they might re-
ceive some compensation.
War Is His Profession.
"Tf the good men in that business
were even now to control its policies
l would give my support to them to
see that the FEEDER Government and
the States share and share alike in
the cost and expense of this very
radical change.
but, as l have said. war is my pro-
fession. The end Is not far. With
the imperfect opportunity they have
had in which to express their. will
people In IS per cent OF the territory
OF the United States have declared
for prohibition. Seven more States
are to vote this year.
I'VE don't have TO get a majority
in Congress. The sisterhood of the
States controls the organic law of the
country.
THE legislatures Of two-thirds Of
the States can call a constitutional
convention and can proceed to revise
the whole constitution of the United
States, II they so determine; and II
three fourths OF those represented so
ratify, they can make prohibition the
organic law OF the country without
touching Washington city.
'Thirty-two States would give us a
controlling majority. can count
with any liquor man here forty States
In which we could secure the action
OF the Legislature In our cause. We
are going to Congress because that Is
the esta blished way of going about
II, the way our fathers have done be-
fore US, But let Congress turn down
our cause. and after We get a fair
chance 10 go 10 the people we will
call a convention, and we will remake
the Constitution of the United States.
