Women Are Making
Their Way in the
Big Banks of Boston

Boston, Jan. lone thousand
women are employed in the banks of
Boston. This would not be surpris-
ing but from the fact that a large
proportion of them are employed as
expert clerks-an elastic term-in all
departments of the institutions.
The women were employed, in many
cases with reluctance. as war emer-
gency when the boys went marching
away. but they are said to have
shown adaptability to the banking
business.
Miss Caroline P. Sickle, in charge
of the woman personnel in an in
stitutisn employing 31S women, says
that last year 200 women clerks oc-
cupied much of their spare time OBJ
tanning added knowledge of the prin-
cipies and details of banking afforded
by the evening courses conducted for
the benefit. of the Boston Chapter of
the American Institute of Banking.
OF women in the banking world she
says:
until within few years most po-
sltionS open to women within bank
ing institutions have been largely in
the nature of stenographic work. At
present you will find women in al
most every department and when the
department head is consulted he will
tell you that the woman clerks work
Is very satisfactory indeed.
occasionally, we hear of some
woman who has attained an executive
position within the conservative cir
cles Of banking although such attain
ments have not been at all general.
This is not bit discouraging, howa
ever, when we realize that what we
have been given to do we have done

The Augusta y. M. c.. A. was a
very busy place Saturday afternoon
and evening when the entire building
was open for inspection and for the
enjoyment of a program in which
many of the. activities We're repre-
scented. From two o'clock in the aft
ernoon until late'hour in the eve
ming hundreds of people came and
went and at times filled the build
ing. 1t was a successful affair in
every way and proved again that
Augusta folks appreciate the "Y''
and the york which it is doing in
the community.
The games in the gymnasium I'M
der the direction of Physical Direct

by large crowd and gave parents
and friends an opportunity of seeing
for themselves the fine work which

the Assembly hall by Clifton NJ.

tanning and were witnessed by a
crowd which completely filed the

of the boys rooms where they ex-
hibited many scout stunts and in

A uyt,i hill 1x,-

made very attractive and caused
many a boy to long for the camp

who is scoutmaster of Troop No. 2
was in charge of the scout work.
The new wireless station which
the members have recently installed
at the "Y' attracted no little atten-
ton and favorable comment. Walter
Brennan and r. II. Parker were busy
making connections with various
sending stations and in giving WIS.,
itors an opportunity of listening in"
and hearing the mysterious code sig
nails which were easily understood by
both Brennan and Parker. Both a
receiving and sending set were set up
for the occasion through the kind
ness of Mr.. Parker, who loaned his
set for the demonstration. 1t is the
plan of the members to form solid
organization, apply for sending Ii
cense and endeavor to establish a re-
lay station for Kennebec valley at the
"Y." During the day and evening the
boys communicated with other men,
bers in Augusta and received from a
number of stations in New England

news messages from Arlington, West

CHAPTER ~
Goliath Of the Hills.

Dale awoke a little after daybreak,
arose and dressed himself and went
out by way of the door beside the
huge stone-and-clay chimney.
The mountain air was bracing Dale
threw out his chest and started eager
~ for q walk
The road led past the cabin of
Grandpap Moreland. When Dale was
directly In front OF the log house, he
saw the aged mountaineer standing on
a rickety sawhorse beside the stone
step at the narrow porch Grandpap
Moreland was helping gray cat down
from the roof.
"Mornin'! | was Jest a.takin' that
thar cussfired old pest down often the
roof. I've took him down every morn
in as regular as I make fires, 70 three
year or more. Ef IL wasn't bad luck
to kill a cat, L shoot him. mebbe."
After breakfasting with John More
land. Bill Dale borrowed fishing-tackle
from his host. and set out alone for
the little river.
There were many shoals and rapids,
and he went almost half a mile before
he found place to his liking. It was
q beautiful spot. Above, the water
poured between two great boulders
with gentle roar; below. II Swallowed
out over round stones. Overhead
lowered tall white sycamores.
Not until he had put minnow on
the hook and cast Ii out did he see
that he was not alone at the pool On
the other side, less than sixty feet
away, Babe Littleford sat on a stone
the size of small barrel; she held
a cane fishing.rod in her hands, and
her bare feet were in the water to her
ankles. She was looking squarely to-
ward Dale, and there was something
akin to reproachful anger in her long
brown eyes.
Good mornlng!" called Dale. lifting
his hat.
There was no reply. There was not
even a change Of countenance. Again
Dale called his friendly greeting, and
again there was no reply. II pIqued
Dale.
A few yards down the stream the
white body OF sycamore lay from
one bank to the other; II had been
blown there by a recent storm. Dale
wound his line. went down and crossed
by means OF the PROSTATE tree.
She didn't even look around when
be walked up to her and spoke again.

Dale WINGED, but Moreand didn't
notice It. Dale let his hand fall from
the others shoulder. Moreland began
TO speak again:
IL didn't tell We afore, Bill Dale My
brother David, he was the hope o. his
people. He was better'n the rest OF
US. The one big aim o. his life was
TO educate us all, the benlghted. Yes,

man. "'Bill Dale is right. y'know.
Good night, John Moreland
Dale removed his shoes and outer
clothing, blew out the light, and went
10 bed In the best rooms hand-carved
black walnut fourposter.
For long time he lay there awake
and stared through a little window to-
ward bright star that burned like a
beacon fire about the pne-fringed
crest of David Morelands mountain.
He believed he understood now why
his father had turned a greenish gray
when this coal property was mentioned
IL him. lie believed he understood
why his father had fatty refused to
investigate this vein. But he was
wholly at loss to account for the
use Of his own given name instead of
Dale.
Looking toward the mountain again,
he spoke as though he were talking

II struck him as being decidedly odd.

Her eyes smiled at the river, but
Dale couldn't see her eyes.
do you like violets. Miss Little
ford?" he asked next.
In the black, mica-Starred soil at
his feet grew carpet OF the finest
violetS he had ever seen. Babe let the
tip OF her cane rod fall into the water
and looked around.
1T sounds funny 10 hear a man talk

clared. Most o. men don't think o.

with John Moreland."
There came to his ears from some
where down the river the chorus of
a raklsh old hill song. and the voice
was that OF the lanky moonshiner, BY
Heck
"oh. when die, don't-a bury me deep.
Put no tombstone at my head and feet.
Put a bears jawbone in my right hand
On my way 10 the Promised La-a-and.
Ohl On my way to the Promised
Land
A few minutes later there appeared
on the Moreland side Of the river the
singer OF the rakish old song; he had
a minnow pail in one hand and a white
hickory rod In the other.
Hi, thar, Bill, old boy!" he yelled.
Hi, thar, Babe Either OF ye'uns
ketched anything?"
Ben Littleford's daughter held up a
fish proudly. Heck slapped his thigh
with his SLOUGH hat.
Good TO youi" he exclaimed. "But
they amt a-bitln' jest right The
moons wrong, and the signs Is wrong,
70 fishin'."
At that instant John Moreland ap-
peared at Heck's side. He seemed very
serious about something.
'Blll Dale" he called, come over
here"
Wondering, Dale put down his rod
and turned to obey. Two minutes later
he stood before John Moreland.
II Jest wanted TO tell ye," and the
mountaineer almost closed one alert
grey eye, "'at ye're purity shore to
git into trouble over thar"
I'm an able bodied man." Dale re
turned smilingly.
"You shore are" frowned Moreiand
but mebbe you ain't used to burned

Not used to hard fighting Dale's
smile broadened. Once he had whipped
