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

There is at present no woman Off
Ger of New York city bank, and only
one In New Jersey, but if the war
lasts long enough it 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 slower, 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 60
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 rapidly but the Off
cial of the bank pointed out that it
would be a serious problem when the
men came home for their jobs.
"0ur hope is" he said, "that the
business will be big enough then to

VICTIMS OF ANTILLES INSURED.
Dependents of Each OF Men Will Be
Given $4,000.


Washington.-Unde the provisions
of the new soldiers and sailors insur-
an &c law, the treasury department has
announced that although the men lost
on the Inflated Antilles, sunk by Il
German submarine, had not, in the
very nature of things, applied for gov
eminent insurance, it would be paid
to their families under the provisions
of the act.
As all hands in the military and ma
val service who persisted with the lost
Antilles came within the scope of the
new war insurance law, the treasury
department announced that they au-
tomatically carried insurance to the
amount of $4,000 each.
This sum will be paid the families
of the dead soldiers and sailors in
monthly installments of $50 each over
a period of twenty years. 1t is in adj
dition to compensationS which will be
paid to widows, children and depend
ent mothers of the men. A widow, for
example, will be paid $50 insurance
and $50 compensation, a total of $50.
While the $50 insurance is Il fixed
maximum, in cases where no applica.
ton for insurance was made, the adj
ditional compensation varies from $50
for Il motherleSs dependent child to Il
maximum of S75 for all dependents.

A saxon.French Cigar Lighter.

Several years ago the then new min
lister of France NJ. Klotz, decided 10
impose tax of two francs, or 40
cents American money, ON each cigar
lighter used in that country, The rea-
son for this Is that the sale of matches
In France is in the hands of the gov
ernment monopoly and the portable
lighters interfered with the sale of the
matches. On the other hand the
matches have become so bad In quality
that they are subject of complaint and
rdicule. The law has become unpopu-
lar and there is an effort now being
made TO have the order rescinded. Not
withstanding the fact that an in
creased tax was placed on tobacco by
the French government several years
ago, it has caused tendency to in
crease smoking and that is proven by
the many smokers to be seen in public
places and thoroughfares.

WOMEN SUFFERERS
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and

to become diseased.
You may suffer a great deal with pain
in the back, headache, loss of ambition,
nervousness and may be respondent and
irritable.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, physicians pre-

War Declared on
Rats by u. S. Govt.

The government at Washington Is pre-
pairing a campaign that should be efiec-
tive in killing the rats that are SO destruc-
tive both to lives and property. A con-
serYative estimate places the loss of food
stuffs from rats at over two hundred mill
lion dollars annually, and In the present
scarcity of food, this loss must be pre-
vented. The most efficient way to xiii

keeper troubled with rats, mice, reaches
or waterhugs should buy a small box of

cents and stop further loss of food in
her home. Adv

ASSERTS VALIDITY
OF PROHIBITION ACT
Wayne B. Wheeler Discusses
Plantations" in Amendment
Submitted to States.

In view of settled principles of law.
friends of the national prohibition
amendment need not be alarmed about
the validity of the amendment when
it is ratified by thrty-six states of the
Union, declares Wayne B. Wheeler. gen
eral counsel of the Anti-Saloon League
of America, in a statement made public
today.
Review of the Limitations.
Reviewing the limitations in the con-
stitutional amendment, Mr., Wheeler
says:
Two limitations have been incor-
porated in the constitutional amend
ment which have not been found In
other amendments submitted. The first
limitation requires the states to ratify
the amendments within seven years.
From the legal standpoint it has been
questioned whether Congress has au-
thority to place this limitation in the
resolution submitting the amendment.
AS a practical question the friends of
prohibition will never have to face this
issue, because the Amendment will
doubtless be adopted before the seven
year limit has expired. If it is thus
adopted. it is generally agreed by all
who have examined the question, that
the amendment would be unqueStion-
the court could declare it void would
be that the amendment would not have
been adopted if it had not been that
the seven-year clause was added. As a
matter of fact the amendment would
be far more sure of adoption without
the seven-year clause than with it. The
argument, therefore, would have little
or no weight.
Further Provisions.
THE amendment also provides that
one year after the ratification the sale,
liquors shall be prohibited The Consti-
tuition says: Amendments to this Con-
stitution ." shall be valid to all
intents and purposes as part of this
Constitution when ratified by the legis-
latures of three-fourths of the several
states, etc. The wording of the Consti-
tuition does not require an amendment
to become operative and effective i'm
mediately upon its ratification by three
fourths of the states. The amendment
may be valid, but it may contain a pro-
vision that it will not be operative I'M
til future date. Many state prohibit
ton laws are enacted that valid
when properly passed and signed by
the governor other officer in the
state whose signature is required. but.
they do not become operative until the
date named In the law. All local option
laws are valid when passed by the legis-
lature. They do not become operative
and enforceable. however until a later
date, when contingency named in the
law puts them in operation.
IF thirty-siX states of the Union
ratify an amendment with a clause in
it naming the date when it becomes
operative. there is more reason for sus-
tanning that amendment than for sus-
tanning law which has no similar clause
in il. The general rule for constituting
constitutions is more liberal than for
constituting state laws.
