LONDON. October 5.-Of the more

All of which would seem to be an
argument in favor of early closing.
Any one bank in Washington could
open at o'clock and close at O'Clock

business. Every national bank in the
city is in favor of a O'Clock closing.
Why not close then?
No one or two institutions should be
able to check the movement.

/ Senate Changes in Tax Measure.
An amendment has been suggested
by the finance committee of the Sem
ate under which single persons will
make income tax returns if their gross
income exceeds $1,000 and married
persons on a gross income In excess
| of $1,000. This will get very many
! more returns than where the income
! remains at the same limits with net

! The rate for taxation of distrib-

been definitely agreed upon as IL per

Another Factor to Be Considered.

Combinations in the United States
might be advocated from the stand
point of added strength and, in view
of the trust company functions which
national banks may now exercise, un-
der certain conditions. There are
scores of banks that may seek the
right to do a trust company business.
Ocular evidence of the growth OF
trust companies is not wanting and
there will be many banks that would.
If they had sufficient capital, go aft
er their share of the fiduciary busi-
ness.
Combinations make for the added
and required capital.
Washington offers splendid oppor-
tunities for amalgamations, but the
personal equation is factor in
Washington banking that is hard to
overcome.
Early Closing Argument.
The first woman receiving teller
in a big national bank has made her
appearance She apparently checks
of the items of a deposit slip as well
as any male teller, and is gracious
ness personified. While many of the
young men around the banks are
entitled to exemption and will prob
ably obtain recognition Of their
claims, yet more and more women
will take the place of men. Eight
hours a day is their limit of work
in the District.
Two o'clock closing will make
easier their labor.
Business places in Washington other
than banks. drug stores, etc, will now
open at 10 o'clock in the morning.
During weeks Of last summer the lead
ing stores remained closed all day on
Saturdays.

Why should any animals seek to live
under such horrible conditions? The only
explanation Is that their ancestors fed to
the depths when huge monsters, such as
the ichthyosaurus and the plesiosaurus
lived near the surface and devoured every
living thing they found. These huge crea-
lures could not bear the pressure at great
depths and SO the smaller monsters sur.

An Army Of Stenoarsphers

Washington. D. c., Jan. %, 1918
There'is today in the City OF Wash
ingtoa in active operation an army
whose exploits attract little notice,
but whose members are doing very
large "bit" toward winning the war
for America-an army of stenograph-
ers and typists, twelve thousand
strong, recruited from every State In
the Union. A majority OF these sol
diers of the notebook and typewriter
are girls. Day in and day out their
nimble fingers faithfully click out the
tremendous volume of correspondence
and records required by a great ma.
ton at war. They wear no badge nor
uniform; their work is all work and
has no thrill nor romance; but the
United States could not stay in the
war q month without them.
The rapidly expanding departments
of the Government in Washington
employ stenographers AID typists
with greed that seems Unsuitable.
The United States Civil Service Com
mission estimates that there will be
twenty thousand Government en-
ployees of this class in Washington
at the end of this year. Owing to the
general demand the Commission is
finding it difficult task to meet the
calls of the departments. Examina-
tions are held every Tuesday in $50
cities, and the Commission states that
an examination will be held in any
city ut any time, day or night, when
there is prospect of assembling a
class of three or four competitors.
Eligibility may be obtained through
passing an examination in practical
tests in shorthand and typewriting.
1t is practicable to complete such an
examination in one hour. Represen-
tatives of Civil Service Commission
at the post offices in all cities are
furnishing definite information to
persons interested.
