A woman is named as Yeatman's
partner in the manufacture Of "Razo,"
and her arrest also is ordered by the
warrant presented to Yeatman by
Officer Stevenson, which was sworn
out before United States Commission

"Razo" very popular at the soda foun-

Forget Sex, " Woman
Bank Director Tells
Girls in Business Life
Mrs. Edith w. PinChon Gives
Philosophy Of Success in
Commercial World.

This Is a story OF a business wom-
cess because she was able to forget
that she was a woman-outside OF her
home.
Less than eight years ago Mrs.
Edith Wallace Pichon went to work
for the Fidelity Savings Company al
a bookkeeper and stenographer. To-
day she sits on the board OF directors,
the third woman In Washington to
hold a directorship in a banking in
stitution.
Instead OF taking dictation and
adding up long columns OF figures in
q ledger. Mrs. Pichon now dictates her
own orders and helps direct matters
OF policy in the matching of wits
with other bankers.
Forget you are a woman" is the
curt advice Mrs. Pichon gives to
young girls who dream of business
career.
"If a woman is going to compete
with men," said Mrs. Pichon, "she
must forget there are some things
she thinks she can't do because she Is
a woman. II she wants to get a
mans pay for her work, she must do
the work of a man."
wOMAN,s PAY FOR wOMAN's WORK
Soon after Mrs. Pichon was first
employed she began to take stock of
herself. She found that she must ex-
pect q woman's wages II she did only
a woman's work. So she began to
study banking principles: she began
to match her own wits with the men
who came and went from the office.
With three children to support, she
determined to bring home a mans
salary. 1t was not until she had map
ped out her own program that she be-
gan to feel the first nush OF success.
Gradually she worked up the scale in
the office OF the company. Two years
ago she was appointed auditor of the
savings company, a position Of trust
and stepping-stone to something
better.
When a vacancy occurred recently
on the board OF directors, the bank
officials held brief conference.
There was only one person they SIM

I'm Sick of Mandates"
Says England
Sick Also Would Be the U. S. A. If the League of
Nations Were Loaded on Us.

Important to Americans considering the League of
Nations is this statement by Frazer writing in North
cfes powerful paper, and predicting shrinking of the
British Empire:
1T is just the in Mesopotamia We must leave it,
and think going to leave it,
IF the mandate means that we are to keep anything
up troops in Mesopotama and spend
thing like f50000000 every year upon that country then
WE WANT NO MANDATES.
I'm the same way we have got to stop poking about
the peninsula of Arabia and substituting rival chieftains
"The fundamental principle of policy in all these
regions the that undertake nothing which will
cost money require troops
If the English have decided that THEY with their
great imperial interests do for mandates costing
E500000O0 year. how should the UNITED STATES feel
about it?
Do we propose to let European nations withdraw from
the mandates that they accepted hastily and load them
on our backs? WE DO NOT.

ar for the United States take up the load that England
and other nations want to drop will be very dead after
