The Woman Citizen OF the issue OF
July 18th is an In Memoriam to DR..
Anna Howard Shaw. The tributes to
the great woman who has passed
away are full of beauty and truth.
The excerpt which follows seems to
strike the keynote of the character of
DR.. Shaw: Her great fear was that
she might outlive her usefulness.

ter have cotton passe.' she would
say, My friends must tell me when

And her friends listening, hearing
the old golden-throated eloquence,

wit. marking the old sure way of con-
vincing by the pungency and relent-
less argument OF her logic. the re-
fiected gay loveableness of her per-
sonality, knew always that the time
had not come.

There are at present three phases
of Denmark's building difficulties
land, materials and money. The land
question can probably be settled and al
so that Of materials, but general ar
rangement of the financial question
must first be made. The cost of build
Ing has increased from 80 crowns per
square meter (S7.72 per square foot)
to TO crowns per square meter
(Sl7.93 per square fooD. This is dis
couraging private initiative and cor
poratlons are now conducting one-third
of the building enterprises in Copen-
hagen and the provincial cities. To,
help these building corporations dur
ing the war, the government voted
S1,OOO,OOO. This was not sufficient,
and by law passed February 5, 1918.
provision was made to finance these,
corporations and compensate them for
some Of the extra expenses of building.
All in all the state and municipalities
subsidize the building corporations to.
the extent OF go per cent of the In
creased costs, which are 100 per cent,
so that the houses cost the corpora
tion 40 per cent more than before.

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS AND STAMPS
Ars Ready TO Protect Securities -
email Investors Free Or For
Nominal Charus.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory
Bonds, Thrift and War Savings
Stamps the people Of the United
States have done more than perform
a patriotic duty-they have invested
in the soundsst securities In the
world, gold obligations of the Unit
ed States of America.
But the safeguarding Of these So
curities has become a problem for
many folk. Only few persons, rel
atively, have either safe in the
house or Office, or a safe-deposit box
in the vaults of the bank. Far 30
many patriotic citizens are keeping
bonds and stamps about the house, in
the bureau drawer, under the mat
tress, or on the shelf. And even if
the treasure is thus hidden from
thieves, there is the ever present dam
ger Of fire, and the loss of the money
INV ested.
There may be no further call for
the people at large to subscribe to
huge bond issues, but the govern
ment needS the daily and weekly
sums which come in from the sale
Of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
for taxes must be kept down. The
danger Of loss has deferred some pso-
Pc from getting as many stamps as
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
problem will be future question ~
well as a present one.
Steps have been taken, however, to
meet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certifi-
cate may be registered with the
Treasury Department. Registration
means that the owners name and the
number Of his security have been
Registered" by the government, and
that nobody but himself can pos
sibly get the money which the bond
or stamp certificate calls for. Ger
tifcates may be registered through
the nearest postoffice; bonds through
the nearest bank.
And the second method for safe
guarding has been provided by the
banks themselves. Every bank-na-
tional bank or savings bank-and ev-
cry trust company has, of course,
ample and secure vaults. For the man
who does not feel that he can afford
to rent a safe deposit box to keep
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps in, many of the banks and
trust companies have announced their
willingness to keep these securities
for him in their own vaults.

gists, through her death, they look
for consolation to the reflection that
at least death did not overtake her
until she won her fight. At least she
lived to see victory crown the great
struggle to which she had given the
marvellous resources OF her talents.
The great suffrage leader is dead.
The great woman orator is dead.
The woman pioneer minister is
dead
The beloved friend is dead.
But the cause which was the goal
OF the efforts of the leader, the pio-
neer. the orator, has been won. Wo-
mans political freedom is here. The
Federal Suffrge Amendment has been
passed. State by state the formali-
ties of it's ratification are being COM
pleted.
There are no words with which to
measure the part DR.. Shaw played in
this monumental victory
She was of the suffrage struggle,
its silver-tongued orator. it's wit, its
humor. its deathless spirit of tri-
umph.
She staked her whole life on it, she
conquered for it and with it. and
death cannot rob her nor us of the
victory that was so largely her work"
South Carolina along with thirty
other of the state suffrage associa-
tions, sent beautiful flowers for the
simple funeral services which were
held at DR.. Shaw's home in Moylan.
Heading the list of those who sent
floral offerings was President Wilson,
our great champion Of suffrage. Mr..
Wilson, with his usual far-sighted-
ness and sense of fairness and justice.
is making an earnest effort to keep
certain Of the Southern states from
making the fata error of refusing to
"atity the amendment On the other
hand the governor of Louisiana is try
ing to keep up his own faltering
courage by sounding the governors of
other Southern states on how they
stand on the question Governor
Brough speaks with authority for the
reason that he has seen Arkansas try
out woman suffrage and has seen its
far-reaching influence for good.
