"grow out OF the fact that the Pc

Until traditions are broken, and
men acquire the habit of putting
women in dministrtive nd consulta-

quently as they put men in such

Miss Anderson expresses herself
strongly in favor of writing the gov

government contracts. The greatest
problem the new bureau will have to
deal with, she says is the problem
of securing equal pay for equal work
by women and men. In scores Of fac

I'VE must focus attention on such
things as this. and on the ten-hour

know what such conditions mean to

NATIONAL BANKS
EARNINGS A RECORD
Gross Amount for Six Months
Ending January I, 1918,
Is S392,742,000.
Special Despdtch to Tus Sun.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.--The national
banks OF the country had gross earnings
OF S3s2.742, 900 and net profits OF about
Sl00,000,000 in the six months ended
January 1. 1918. It IL shown by COM
pilation OF returns by the Comptroller
Of the Treasury just completed. These
earnings are tho greatest on record
In any similar period In the history of
the country The net earnings for the
banks for the six months were about
90 per cent. on their aggregate capital.
These large earnings have been CO.
incident with a radical reduction in the
interest rates in all parts of the country
and the practical extinction of what thu
Comptroller terms "barbarous usury,"
which was until recently being charged
by some banks in certain sections.
Tho Comptroller said "As a result of
sounder and moro conservative methods
OF banking and a strioter observance of
the provisions OF the national bank act
and the regulations of the Comptroller's
office. and also because OF the admirable
operation of the Federal reserve act and
the closer supervision and more rigid
examination by the national bank exam
lining force the national banks of the
country are to-day being administered
more effectively and more successfully
than ever before.
"For the seven months Of 1919 there
has been no failure OF any national
bank in any one OF our forty-eight
states. Never before IN the history of
the national banks since 1870 with the
single exception Of the year lssD has
there been such immunity from failures
During these same seven months OF
1913 twenty-five State banks and trust
companies in fourteen different States
have failed" .t

COTTON MAINTAINS
81. SENSATIONALRISE
October Contracts Advance. to
3O.42-War News Strong
Factor.

The cotton market showed increasin 9
activity and strength during yesterdays
trading. with a further sensational ad-
vance In prices. october contracts sold
up to se.a2. or ss.ao a bale above the
eosins price Of Friday and $145o q bale
above the low level OF Thursday morning.
Notwithstanding the extent OF the advance
there was little increase in the volume
OF offerings ana delivery closed at So.35.
or within 7 points OF the best. and the
general list closed strong At q net adj
vance OF 400 to III points.
Favorable war news seemed to be a
bigger factor In the market than at any
previous time since the advance etarted.
The reports Of important allied Victories
created q feeling Of optimism around the
ring which increased the disposition OF
traders to buy on bullish crop or trade
advices, while there also appeared TO be
a feslihS that continued drives might
bring peace before the end Of another
Seasor. ...
The market opened Arm at an advance
II - to 30 points. There wac some real
iaing and Q little Southern selling at the
start. but the offerings were soon alb
sorbed ana the market became excited
al prices worked higher. Recent sellers
for a reaction were. perhaps. the most
urgent buyers. but there was also trade
buying of October and a broadening
commission house demand which met
comparatively little opposition. RealiE-
ing was active enough to hold prices
around 1926 Tor December and 1890
fol- January. but otherwise there was
very little selling in evidence and the
close was within a few points Of the
best
There was no change in the character
Of the weather and crop news. No sign
Of a break In the Texas drought was re-
ported, and the official forecast was for
clear weather In that state, except for
cloudy conditions in the west. The
weekly crop reviews were In line with
expectations created by the average OF
the daily news, indicating fairly satisfac-

the buying movement. which also found
