WOMEN SLOWER THAN MEN
Double the Number Required in New
York Banks, But They Are
More MethodcaI.

There is at present no woman off
Ger of New York city bank, and only
one in New jersey, but II the war
lasts long enough 1t may well be, as
1t is in Canada now, that the banks
will virtually be run by women. AL
ready, it is estimated, 10000 women
have been taken on in the Wall street
district since the United States en-.
tered the war last April, says the New
York Evening Post.
Women are sloN.r, but more care
fut, said an official of the Mechanics
and Metals bank, SO, although twice
as many women as men are needed
to do the same amount of work, the
bank loses no money on extra salaries,
because the women save hundreds Of
dollars which had to be paid to the
clearing house for the mems mistakes.
Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost $50 or $50 week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent of its men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The Mechan-
les and Metals bank now has go
women and they are being taken On
by tens or twenties each week. SO
far these 60 women are taking the
places OF only SO men, which shows
the difference in rapidity, but the Off
cfal of the bank pointed out that 1t
would be serious problem when the
men came home for their jobs.
"Our hope is" he said, that the
business will be big enough then to
accommodate them ALL"

MT. Hardy had risen from his desk and was looking out of the window at the time. He groaned and Frank H. Doo- little, carpenter, who was making some repairs, reached him in time to prevent a fall. He was carried to his room in the bank and Dr. J. H. Romig was called. After an examination the doctor said Mir. Hardy was suffering from stroke and he was removed in an auto to the hospital. The left side is affected and so far he has not regained consciousness.

The street committee reported to the council last night that the park reserve site in the Federal addition could be cleared of all stumps for ap- proximately $500 and that including the work of leveling the ground the total cost would not exceed S750. Councilman Chamberlain, in making the report, said the work should be done as an expression of appreciation for the gift of the land, and that the grounds could noy be put to better ad- vantage at the present time than to condition it suitable for baseball pur- poses. The report of the committee was accepted and it was instructed to proceed immediately with the work of conditioning the grounds for athletic park puI poSeS'

MEMORIAL DAY
 TO BE OBSERVED

Preparations are being made for a memorial program to be held on the afternoon of Decoration day. The Spanish-American War Veterans have the exercises in charge, and are being assisted by the Women's club and school authorities.
 Memorial day this year makes a more vivid appeal to the majority of people than it has for many past years. Being in a state of war and on the threshold of battle, the real import and significance of the day calls to mind wildly a few of the sad probabilities of the near future.
 It is hoped by those in charge that all business houses will show the prop CT respect due the nations soldier dead and close for the day.
 The program has not been complet- ed but will be in few days at which time it will be announced.

CLEARING OF BALL PARK IS
 ORDERED BY CITY COUNCIL

ward the disposition of this matter.
 AS it was necessary to remove parts of the bridges across Lowell creek in order to allow for the recent work of the steam shovel, the permanent re- pairing of the bridges called forth considerable discussion. It was final ly decided to do away with the system formerly used of mud sill foundations and drive piling instead, in order to secure a more permanent result. 1t was estimated that the piles could be driven at a price not to exceed $l5 each, and with this provision, and that not more than 32 piles be driven, the street committee was ordered to proceed with the reconstruction of the Fourth and Fifth avenue bridges. Councilman Dubreuil cast dissent ing vote to the resolution.
 The committee recently appointed to interview the hospital authorities in regard to a bill rendered by that in- stitution for services and accommo- dations reported that upon investiga- tion they found that Seward was fav- ored with cheaper rates than furnish ed by any other hospital on the Alas ka coast, and that the bill as presented was very reasonable.
 It was decided to proceed with the appointment of an assessor at the next regular meeting in order that there will be plenty of time for the work, instead of waiting until later and do- ing the job in hurry, as has been more or less necessary in the past.
 The question of peddler's license was brought before the council and an effort is to be made to increase the cost from the present rate of S25 per year. The city attorney has this in charge and will report on the matter at an early date.

HINDENBERG LINE SMASHED
DO YOUR BIT;
 JOIN THE RED
 CROSS TODAY

Organization of branch of the Ma tional Red Cross here has been pro- vided for and the success of the pro- ject depends upon the interest shown by the men and women of Seward.
 Mrs. J. M. Sloan is chairman of the committee to receive applications for membership. Fourteen have already been received and so soon as p are in a meeting will be called to organize and apply for a charter.
 The Red Cross-it is not "The Red Cross Society"-the word society" does not belong to it-is the most unique organization on the face of the earth. It was organized years ago to relieve misery, wherever misery happened to be, and however it came about In this country it is known as The American Red Cross. There is also the International Red Cross, and a Red Cross in every civilized nation on earth.
 Whether distress comes from war, or from famine, or from fire or flood, or anything else, the Red Cross offers it's services. If the calamity which befalls is of magnitude, it sends ex- perts to the scene, to aid and direct. It disburses money scientifically, in a sense, but always with a heart throb in he disbursing.
 The Red Cross is supported by it's members and by voluntary contribu- tions. 1t costs one dollar to belong to it. It receives donations from one penny up. Many wealthy people, anxious to do something for mankind, but not knowing how to do it, give their money to the Red Cross, know ing it will be used properly. Many poor people, having nothing to give, give that little to the Red Cross, feel ing that their mite will help some body.
 The Red Cross is non-sectarian and non-partisan. It does not "belong to any church." 1t works among the heathenS as among the Christians. It asks no questions as to race or creed
 President Wilson has appointed a Red Cross war council to take up the tremendous task which will result from the present war and so soon as the local organization is formed its first duty will be to get in touch with Elliot Wadsworth, active vice chair man, at Washington, D. C., as has the branch Red Cross organization at Juneau. Branches are also being formed in other coast towns.

CHILDREN WILL GARDEN TO AID
 IN PRODUCTION

Great interest is being taken by the children in the garden work planned for the year and it is probable that gardens of real value will be made by the youngsters this year.
 The work has been taken up under the committee appointed b. the Women's club including Mrs. Balder- stcn, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Erich Lu- cas, chairman.
 Many of the children already have gardens and for those who have not garden space will be provided. The committee has accepted the offer of F. L. Ballaine of the Ise of three lots north of Wayne Blues residence on Third avenue. This ground will be used by the boys and the plot at Gtird and, Adams will be used by the girIs.
 Rev. Patton and Mel Horner have volunteered their services to aid the juvenile gardeners.
 More gardening IS being done in Seward this year by 100 per cent than ever before and if the grownups are as enthusiastic as the youngsters re- suits worth while will be forthcoming
