Women In Banks.

An officer of large national bank
which had never until recently en-
ployed women excepting a telephone
operator) told how he solved the prob
lem of introducing women workers into
the bank. You know" he confided,
I'VE never had women. and we had no
experience In hiring them. All Of the
officers were reluctant to assume the
responsibility of interviewing and en-
gaging the women applicants. They
appeared to be afraid. We finally de-
cided to simplify the situation by hir
ing one highly educated college woman
OF mature mind and ripe age, and We
assigned to her the job OF hiring all the
girl stenographers and fling clerks.
This woman has complete charge Of all
the women employees, and we men in
the bank have nothing to do with this
new staff which has replaced the men
who have left the banks service on &C.
count Of the war;"

preston and Cost of Fabric.
The developments In France must
bring home to every citizen Of this
country the approach Of the days when
Americans will scar he casualty lists
with a sinking Of the heart.
The present, therefore, Is a fitting
time for Americans to consider what
action they will take when the news,
terribly sad yet not unrelieved by
pride, shall come to them Of the fact
that one who is near and dear has Of
fered on the altar of his country the
supreme sacrifice.
In ordinary times 1t is our right and
custom to make known our bereave-
ment 10 the world by a change of cos
tune. Heretofore we have put or the
gay habiliments Of ordinary wear and
have put on those signs of mourning
that, as we have believed, show respect
for the loved ones we have lost. But
while we are at war. why, it may well
be asked, should we take any action
that will tend to depress our neigh
bors, deter others from making the sac
ritice we have made. discourage new
additions to the depleted ranks of
democracy's defenders and give aid
and comfort to Its Notwithstanding
our own misguided citizens who are
secret allies Of the government with
which We are at war?
We cannot win the war by wearing
Grape. Instead Of spreading depres-
sion, creating Encouragement, 1t is our
duty to maintain high heart. to vital
lie the fighting spirit, to do all that
lies In our power to keep our country
in trim for the further efforts and
trials that it must face before final VIC
tory.
Holding these views, yet with sim
cerest sympathy for those who may
be bereaved, we recommend the start
ing of a movement throughout this
country for the discarding Of mourning
throughout the period of our participa-
ton In the war.
The present shortage of fabrics Is
equaled only by the shortage OF raw
materials entering into the manufac-

increase as the war continues. The
adoption Of mourning by a large num-
Der of our people would entail the dis
carding of great quantities of clothing
which otherwise might have been worn
for a considerable period. True, some
Of these castoffs might be given to the
poor or to charitable organizations
But the probability Is that the greater
proportion Of them would be put away
In some closet to become moth eaten
and forgotten. The result Of the new
purchases would be to increase the al
ready serious shortage OF material and
to further raise the prices of clothing,
which, as II is, promise to soar still
higher In the near future We by no
means urge the indiscriminate wearing
Of bright or SNOWY colors. Neutral or
shoft shades would naturally be more
appropriate. Come suitable device also
might be worn upon the sleeve But
for "the customary suits OF solemn
black" there should be no place under

The Wireless Wave.

In articles Oh wireless telegraphy
such expressions as 200 meier wave
lengths. 600 meter wave lengths, $4,000
meter wave lengths. are constantly
used. In reply to correspondent who
asks how the length Of the waves ID
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
THE length OF an electric wave n
determined by q wave meter. The
natural wave length OF an aerial u
four times its linear length. just N the
wave length or a note Of q closed or
gan pipe Is four times the length OF the
pipe. and the wave length OF the note
of tuning fork Is four times the
length OF the box which Is resonant
with the note However. other consid-
eratiOns make II difficult to measure
the wave length by a rule. and the
wave meter gives a more correct result
than can lie found by measuring the
length OF the wire"
