Women from the earliest times have

these professions. matters Of memory and
detail, come easily to women. Indeed

EPISCOPAL CHURCH WILL
PENSION AGED MINISTER'S

The Episcopal church has an
nounced a system of pensions for its
retired clergy. There are APO men
in active service in the United
States. Their average salary is $1,000
a year. More than half this number
receive less than $500 a year. More
than zoo are paid less than $1,000
a year. In order to provide a fund
for pensioning these veterans in the
service $5,0OO,O0O will be raised. On
the retirement of the clergyman at
the age of 6S he will receive a pen
sion equal to one half of his average
during his active service. At
death his widow and children will
receive annual pensions.

RICHES

According to Alfred Reeves, gen.
eral manager of the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce, the
retail value of automobiles and
trucks sold in 1915 was 691% mil
lion dollars. OF this amount 126
million dollars represented the
value of motor trucks. The export
trade accounted for 100 million
dollars.
These are enormous figures and
show how much money is going in
to automobiles both for pleasure
and business. If we add a reasonable
figure of 800 million dollars as the
value of cars sold previous to 1915,
but still in use, the total climbs to
1000 million dollars.
OF course we might also figure
that the chewing gum bill of the
country, the moving picture craze
and other national habits total even
larger amounts. and that the coun-
try is rich enough to stand for all,
but isn't it about time that banks
took cognizance of the vast wealth
Of America as expressed in small or
moderate expenditures and attempt
ed to establish the savings bank
habit a little more firmly in the ma
.ional mind?

Here is Charles F. Scott's idea OF
advertising: Did you ever know
of a business man who would put
an attractive sign in front and
then take in business one day and
then take it down the next and
after a week or so put 1t up again
and keep it there maybe two or
three days and then take It down
and hide it away for another inter
val and so on? Well. an advertise
ment in a newspaper is just like a
sign, the difference in 1t and the
sign across your plate glass window
being that it is carried around to
the fireside instead OF staying in
one place all the time. The sign is
Tor the people to come to It. Is It
necessary to carry the comparison
any farther?
