There Is at present no woman Off

Women are slower, but more care

Each mistake costs 81 and the records
show that sometimes mems mistakes
cost S25 or $50 week.
The average downtown bank has
lost 20 per cent of its men and taken
on 40 per cent women. The Mechan-

wcmen and they are being taken on
by tens or twenties each week. Sc
