had a safe place for it, and always knew
where 1t was. Whereupon she pulled out
from her stocking a roll of $4,000. She was
astonished to learn how much simpler 1t
would be to put the responsibility upon
reliable bank that, furthermore, would give
interest on her savings.
"A pretty little messenger from a big
commercial house came in one day, using
the teller's window In the woman's depart
ment for her deposits But the wall mirror
soon absorbed her entire attention, as she
admired from all angles her new winter
cloak
"'Don't you think it's awfully becoming?
she asked eagerly. But did pay quite

me- but it's too late to do anything about
IL now!'
II felt this child needed friendly hand
rather promptly. Despite her protests that
my efforts would be useless / placed the
situation by phone before the shop where
she had bought the coat explaining that
their youthful customer had been carried too
far In her admiration OF their goods and
that she would be willing to pay for any
wear i'm the garment in her few hours of
owning IL IL they would take II back. They
allowed her to return the coat. Out OF the
money she purchased less costly garment
and put the balance into the bank as her
first savings account.
From so small a peginning as " uIhe
one little Italian girl began an account. nrst
In a hand bank we gave her, that eventually
inspired her whole family to do likewise,
and later her entire department at the fac
tory She came in to us originally as a
messenger from her firm, and In the course
of asking me for information on that busi-
ness revealed bits Of personal history as to
the hard working family, all of whom put
their earnings into the family spending pot
without an apparent chance to get penny
ahead against less fortunate day.

icue their ignorance or naivete.
"All this was to be read in the very con-
idential manner in which an elderly woman
half whispered to me one morning that she
was anxious to obtain the loan of $2500
from the bank. Security? oh. yes, fine
yacht valued for that amount. The yacht
to be sure, belonged to friend of hers but
he did not want to appear in the transac-
ton. Yes she was n business woman In
business for herself, and known to the
public as very successful. But her business
could not be valued at quite that amount;
no. not more than 100000, she would say
We did not put the loan through for her
but l venture to say that certain business
ideas she gained before the interview was
over would mean real business assets to her
in the future.
Savings in cold blood, as It were. are not
inspiring. The proverbial rainy day is held
up most frequently as an incentive But the
woman in business can find many more ex-
citing reasons. Let her project her imagina-
ton into the future of her business life. A
bank reserve may mean taking studies to
ht herself for higher position. It may
mean setting up In business for herself. 1t
assuredly will give her new feeling of con-
fidence toward her work so that she can
break away from an uncongenial job and
dare to try more congenial fields. The grind

the impetus of a congenial position which
she doesn't dare try for without bank re-

The quiet reception room, in blue furnish

personality Of Miss Sears, has become a
friendly spot to hundreds OF women since its
opening last May.

r. VERY one who knows about railroads
r. has heard of A Fl. Smith, the presi-
- dent of the New York Central who
preferred to try his strength on steel rails
rather than to sort envelopes. He began
his career as an office boy in the supply
department of "A railroad office in Detroit,
where he had soft and easy berth. His
hair was nicely parted and he was dropping
into a we'll ordered groove which would have
brought him SIS week in time If he kept

A. ii. Smith. as youth was deeply inter-
ested in the way that a big transportation
company should be run, but he did not see
how he could possibly find out much about
it by looking at maps and sorting out index
cards and letterheads. This explains why
he got job as section hand and started
to work his way up through the various
grades which brought him to commanding
position in the traffic world.

Ruhr Coal Region Is Crux
for Both Bavaria and France

Finally, there is always France. If Ba-
varia stands armed, France has the right to
call upon her allies to act. and that means
in reality the occupation of more German
territory by French troops. But exactly in
the same way, If the Ruhr miners undertake
by strike to coerce Bavaria, the French will
not receive their allowance of coal assured
them by the treaty of peace and they will
again have a just cause for action. and
action always means the occupation of Ger
man territory and presumably the occupa-
tion of the Ruhr coal basin, which would in
volve the whole of German industrial life
and might mean it's permanent paralysis.
AS for the British their position is not
easy. The majority of the British public
seems to desire the resumption of trade re-
lations with Germany. Owing to the lack OF
markets for British manufacturers England
is suffering from very dangerous epidemic
of unemployment. More than a million men
are out of work and the single chance OF
putting them back to work must lie in re-
opening the old Continental markets, where
British products were sold before the war =
In reality the question Of British recovery
from the war seems to come down to the
problem of reopening the Russian and csr-
man markets and particularly the Gcfman.
But a new French occupation of German

IN ANKING is a mystery to many women,
even to those in business.
- The woman In business is not as
yet always synonymous with the business
woman" Ignorance of the simplest pro-
cedure necessary to having a banking ac-
count Is considered by many banking au-
thorities as prime reason for the large
number of women who look upon entering
a bank as a kind of scary adventure, to be
avoided IL possible. Hence, say these observ-
ers, the popularity of the stocking, bureau
drawer or pigeon hole feminine banks
To remedy this situation the Bank of United
States has evolved a special department to
serve business women.
More than fifty thousand women and girls
daily pass the doors OF this bank, at Fifth
avenue and Thirty second street. While no
one has evolved a polite way of checking up
figures as to how many of them have bank
accounts some surprising examples of the
novelty of bank accounts in womans life
are reported by Miss Martha c. Sears, head
OF the business woman's department.
"A woman between forty and forty five
years old confessed to me that she had never
saved a cent in her life," said Miss Sears.

years. Another woman told me she never

Anti Prussian Spirit in
Bavaria Tends to Separation

One must recognize the fact, however ex-
aggerated the conclusions sometimes drawn
from 1t, that there Is marked anti -Prussian
spirit in Bavaria, well as an even stronger
conservative sentiment which is mostly hos
tile to the more radical ideas prevailing
ir portions of Prussia, notably in the highly
industrialized regions of the west. Bava-
Ran secession, followed by the recall of the
lEavarian dynasty, even the effort to estab-
lish this Wittesbach dynasty in place of
the Hohenzollern, is not out of the possibili-
ties. Moreover. all Germans know well that
France would welcome any break between
north and south Germany for obvious rea-
sons
For the German government, then, the
situation is extraordinarily difficult 1t lacks
the power to coerce Bavaria, and il it should
obtain power, to it would merely mean
to provoke Bavarian secession. But If the
Government fails to act then the labor ele-
ments. notably the miners Of the Ruhr, may
take the matter into their own hands and
by strike seek to coerce Bavaria The dan
ger here Is that such strike might easily
get out of hand and lead to new revoln-
ton, to real civil war between the reac-
tionary and republican elements in the
Reich.

IGNORANCE of simple banking pro-
cedure deters many women from own
ing bank accounts. To meet this condi-
tion department for the business woman
has been organized at the Bank of United
States, with trained woman adviser to
meet all women customers. The variety
of personal assistance rendered to pug
zIed or inexperienced girls and women
since the opening of the department last
May shows sound case for the value of
such service in a bank.

To Divide Her Enemies
Manifest as Germanys Policy

AS for the Englshman, he sees Germany
crushed, her fleet gone, her power for re-
sistance in contemporary time abolished
He believes that If she can get to work the
dangers for the future will be small. But
he also recognizes for Britain the advantage
If Germany does get to work, and his judg-
ment, like the Frenchman's is manifestly
influenced by his own personal stake in the
situation. He thinks that the Frenchman's
failure to see the German situation as he
sees 1t is due to French hatred of Germany
and to what he regards as French Chauvin-
ism. The Frenchman regards the English
mans failure to see eye for eye with him as
proof OF the Englshman's betrayal of him
for the profits to be realized in German
trade.
AS for the German, he reasons that this
