r TELEN KELLER, the silent wom-
an, is soon to make her appear
ance in the silent drama-the
"movies." In a few short weeks this re-
markable woman will appear on Broad
way in a motion picture which drama
ties her life and tells the story Of her
deliverance from the darkness and de-
spair to which she was born. Of all the
amazing things she has accomplished
nothing is more amazing than this-for
it is not easy for those possessed Of all
their faculties to successfully "put over"
a motion picture.
Glow do you think they told me to
pose?" Helen Keller asked me as we sat
in sun-lt room at her home in Forest
Hills, Long Island, and talked of the
wonderful adventure, as she called 1t.
"My director stamped his foot three
times and | felt the vibrations and took
my place as he said" Smiling she con-

and are discouraged, perhaps hopeless,
and that is why | am in the movies. My
picture has been called 'Deliverance'--
and no one in all the world Is better
qualified to speak on this topic than l."
Part Of tho time Miss Keller spoke
with the slow, carefully enunciated
words which she uses, and again through
her secretary, into whose palm she
tapped the message in the hnger-tip code
they use for constant communication.
"It IN sad for mo to realize that not
all Of the people In the world can read

The benefits which will accrue to the
American woman and to the nation as
Il whole from this new broader point of
view challenge the imagination. II is,
in fact, one of the greatest assets grow
ing out Of the war, and it should be de-
veloped to the greatest possible extent"
This awakening, it appears, is not con-
fined to the women who patronize the
Guaranty Trust Company and the other
Fifth Avenue banking houses; it is just
as conspicuous among the women of for
eign birth who deposit their little saw
ings in the banks on the lower East Side.
We have the word of Henry A. Schenck,
president of the Bowery Savings Bank,
which accepts deposits as small as 81,
that this is true.

A Crop of ''Baby Financiers"
From the Thrift Campaigns

zone Of the most marvellous results
Of these thrift and loan campaigns" says
Mr.. Schenck, "is not only the fact that
it has taught women in concrete way
the use of banks to invest even small
amounts, but that they have been made
so intensely aware of these benefits that
they are in turn teaching their children.
When pass through the bank it is far
from unusual case to find really tiny
boys and girls buying thrift stamps and
turning these into War Savings Stamps
and at the same time collecting the in
terest due on the Liberty bond cor-
pons They are baby financiers.
"It is impossible to realize the ire
mendous and cumulative effect that this
education of thrift will have on the
growing and the coming generations.
Not only will it benefit the individual,
but it means stronger and better
government with firm and unshakable
prosperity
The fifth and last Liberty Loan cam
paign opens tomorrow morning. The
record of our women in the previous
campaigns is something of which we may
well be proud. Seven hundred thousand
women have done volunteer work in the
four campaigns, 90 per cent of the bonds
sold in these campaigns were bought by
women and 33 g per cent of them were
sold by women. And we are going to
keep up to our standard in this the last
and greatest of them all; we are going
to finish up our job and go out in a
burst OF glory. Remember the men from
overseas are watching Let ua show
them how much in actual dollars and

Women and Banks Get
Acquainted Through Liberty Drives

The llhcrty Loans havo been II
wonderful education to the women Of
tho country. Through them tho women
have como to understand that even tho
smallest amount of savings--that which
formerly rcposcd in the family's ginger
JAR or was hidden in the toe Of an old
stocking-could be invested and draw in
tcrest. The Liberty Loan campaigns
have brought forth from their hiding
places the savings of many timid soul
who had never heretofore dared trust
her hard-earned nest egg to the care of
a bank, an institution of which she was
totally ignorant and of which she stood

ments on her bond she soon lost the
feeling Of awe with which she had for
merly regai led that institution and she
has become a regular deposltor
Indeed, many of the large banking
houses have within tho last yeAr opened
special departments for women deposl
tors and lNNeatora, and enc eNterpyiaiNg

Mira Jacob Mia at its head, where honda

The shN httle rerson who dreaded a
visit to her hank almost as she dreaded
visit to her dentist has practically
vanished from the face of the land, and
women enter those institutions to-day
with no moro trepidaton than they
would go into n department store S2V-
eral of the banking houses realizing
this have moved their bond selling AND
investors departments to the street

Just the other night she entertained

vibrations as she sat with her fingers on

The housekeeper thought that she was

The opening days Of the war in Eu-

what then? Will these women suddenly
return to their prewar over-busyness
with trivial occupations? No. Then is
the time that they will reap their har-

managing, by studying efficiency, and
they will reap the benefit from all these
good works, their war time experiences,
when peace finally comes.

Even among men who made
successful business of joking in
the face of horror and twitting
each other with the worst of ca

when Mr.. Dawson, as head of the

They talked together a while and

could not give enough of either.
In due course this soldier came
home to America and went to q
military hospital in Baltimore. He
found his father dying of cancer
and his mother feeble and dis
traught with anxiety. Their COM
petence had been exhausted in
meeting such unforeseen disaster,
and out of the depths of these af-
hictions he wrote to the Red Cross
expressing his sorrow that he
could not keep his promise, since
his savings must go to his parents

"well fixed," and that he himself
had some savings which would not
be needed now, since a military
hospital would be his home for the
rest of his days, so he proposed to
give his money to the Red Cross.
Mr.. Dawson himself suffered
from temporary blindness for

royal one and could only be

"Show Your Mettle,"
Is the Home Patriots Slogan

"Our men have shown their mettle,"
50 runs one Of the Victory Loan slogans
"Now show your metal!" These men
have fought and bled and seen their COM
rades for US. Those who have sur
vved the horrors OF gas and bullets and
shrapnel have come back to US. Here,
then, is the very first opportunity that
we have had to show these men the sort
of work that we have been doing here
at home for the last two years-to give
a practical demonstration of the way
that we have put our shoulders to the
wheel and our hands in our pockets and
backed them to the last ounce of our
strength and the last farthing Of our in
comes in their fight for democracy.
The men Of the 9th are watching us.
They heard away over there on the bat
tlefields of Belgium and France of the
way in which the former Liberty Loans
were oversubscribed and the knowledge
Of what we at home were doing spurred
them on to victory. Let us make most of
this opportunity to show them at first
hand that we can send the fifth and last
the Victory Loan-"over the top" with
the same splendid spirit with which we
raised those which preceded it. Let us
give them practical demonstration Of
the gratitude which lay behind the lusty
| cheers and tear-flled eyes with which
We greeted them on the 25th of March.
Those men did not finch when the
I time came for them to go forth to their
ffta engagement, just because they had
I c ured the same hardships four times

share in this NTH Liberty Loan cam
palgn just because we have subscribed
