y OF Interest TO Women D
Banking Talk Giuen
To Business Girls

One Of the most interesting and
instructive meetings of the Young
Women's Business club was held last
evening at the Y. w. c. A. when w.
NJ. Edmunds, assistant cashier of the
First National bank, gave q very
splendid talk on banking. A short
history of banking and comparison
between the age and number of banks
In this country and Europe was fol-
lowed by discussion of the different
kinds of banks. Theoretically there
are two kinds of banks. banks of is.
sue and banks of discount. Banks
serve the country in three different
ways: % BY accepting deposits and
making payments; (2) by making
loans; (3) by advancing money for
the use of the public.
The value and methods of writing
and sorting checks, disposal through
the clearing house. printing of notes.
and a comparison between the meth
DDS used in Canada and America
were dealt with in a very thorough
manner.
The increase and value of savings
deposits and the extent to which they
can accumulate in a very short time
was shown by figures and computa-
tions.
Round table questions and discus
sions were entered into freely and
profltably by each Of the young wom-
en- present.
The next meeting Is to be February
13 and the subject for discussion is
"A Study of Some Moving Pictures"

Win Success
In Manufactures

For many years after .women hae
entered the business world, the work
they took up was directed by men. It
was always the "man higher up who
owned or managed the establishment,
and under his authority the woman
succeeded or failed. Though these
conditions have changed, and there
are plenty of women who are prov
ing each day their executive ability,
1t is still trif1e unusual to meet a
woman manufacturer, says the Phila-
delphia North American.
To run a factory successfully, be it
large or small. and keep goods in the
proper market requires no small
amount Of ability. yet this has been
accomplished and Philadelphia has
every reason to be proud Of these
women.
Several manufacturing companies
In Philadelphia are owned and run
by women. One of them tells how she
came to undertake the work. Having
been a buyer in large department
store for years. she felt like q fish out
Of water when, on the bankruptcy of
the firm. she was cast adrift. After
trying various places in her line, she
decided to go into business for her

able for both gas and electric lights
to lessen the number of cubic feet or
current consumed and at the same
time to improve the illumination.
Mantles or Tungsten filaments will
soon pay for themselves. Another
lighting economy is the device which
permits lights to be turned very low.
In the course Of a year careless US
age will greatly increase the cost Of
soap supplies. A cake of soap should
never be left soaking away in the bot
tom of q dishpan or mop pail or cut
in two because it presents more sur
faces to be acted upon by the water.
Buy good grade of soap and dry it
two or three months before 1t is used.
1t will cure and harden and last much
longer.
Left-overs from the table all have
a cash value represented by their
original cost plus the expense Of prep
aration. 1t is unnecessary to waste
anything. Leftover gravy, ends of
meat, and pieces of bone will all go
into the stock kettle. Leftover vege-
tables can be used in casserole dishes,
for salads, and soup making. Vege-
tables should not be added to the
stock pot, however. unless contents
are to be used at once as they are
liable to sour when left in the liquid.
Brooms give less satisfaction and
wear out quicker If not kept hung up.
Spices and extracts should be closely
corked when not in use.
The careless cook will fail to scrape
her cake bowl or mixing board A
spatula Is excellent for this purpose
A skillful workman will leave no
mussy containers or surfaces.

themselves, but in the aggregate they

.om1an's S EXCHANGE
Proues Successful

One of the very few successful
womans exchanges in this part of the
country is maintained at Valley City.
and the venture has proved profita-
BILE one since its founding, eight years
ago by the Civic Improvement asso-
ciation Of Valley City.
The exchange sells homemade
foods, jams, jellies. eggs, milk. but
ter and needlework, which the women
of the city and surrounding country
bring in. A chance given by this
means for the housewives, who have
skill in culinary art or needlework
to find market for their work, thus
enahling them to earn extra money.
~ poker receives SIS per cent Of the
price the article brings, and the re-
naming Is per cent is used to keep
e. ,:.l EXPENSES of the exchange,
Which is now Self supporting.
In addition to the selling of the
homemade goods, a lunch room and
a rest room are maintained, which
are both we'll patronized. Plans are
now under way for the securing Of
larger quarters, as the business has
increased so rapidly that the present
building is too small.
The exchange is not charity. but
a business proposition, backed by the
housewives of Valley City.

1t is astonishing to thrifty woman
to observe how careless and extrava-
CANT some people are even in the face
of the high cost Of living. Usually
those who waste the most can afford
it the least.
Sometimes the housewife herself is

thoughtless help. Many a woman

Many cooks literally slice potatoes

The use of coal is another place

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 2S.-When

prominent automobile man Of Will
mington. Del. hut is we'll known in
Philadelphia.
The romance began early in De-
cember. when the young woman,
who Is an enthusiastic motorist. won
the road race from Washington to
New York. On the way, however,
Del. and the former Miss Blevins'
mechancian. man prominent In
New York society, telephoned his
friend Belts for assistance. Belts
motored out from Wilmington with
the necessary parts for repairing the
machine and met his fate.
After the repairs had been made
and Miss Blevins was about to speed
on her way the rescuer proposed a
bet of $1,000 that she would not win
the race. The bet was Immediately
accepted. Upon winning the race
Miss Blevins received q check for
$1,000. accompanied with a long let
ter of congratulation. From that
time on both the winner and the
loser saw much of each other. but
Belts soon decided to. get out Of the
losing class. He proposed to Miss
