One of Birmingham's professional women is most enthusiastic about her recent visit to the clubhouse in New York of the Business and Professional women at the national headquarters 216 Fifth avenue, where so many women from oyer the country are entertained during their visits to the metropolis.
 The advance the sex has made in one brsuch of business alone within the last ten years, at the beginning of, which as bank employees they. were as scarce as the proyerbial hens teeth is phenom. inal. The woman banker was unheard of ten years ago except nt the bank telephone exchange. Now they num- Der into the hundreds. The first break into the lbanking game came during the war when the government did not hesitate to put women in positions of financial responsibility. Bankers were forced to come into contact with them and they found them quick in Making decisions capable and industrious and most of them with good judgment However, while there are many such employees throughout the nation not many have risen beyond the position of assistants. Miss Helen V. Boswell of the Brotherhood Engineers Co-opera- tive Trust company of New York, one of the few, if not the only vice presi- dent of bank, in a recent interview in an exchange said:
 .'Except in a few instances, women have not yet been able to rise above positions as assistants. Men are afraid to give them the chance. They feel that the few women who have gone higher are. exceptions, though such women are merely examples of a host of women in banks who should be pro. noted to official positions. Those who have gone in for banking are generally women of culture and intelligence, they are mostly young and, as rule, good looking. have worked with many groups of women, and in none have seen more devotion to work and more enthusiasm than among bank women.
 II have often seen women sskim the surface for things they wanted to know. But bank women dig deep until they master their difficulties. When see them in conference, presenting their problems and discussing. them, always putting the bank foremost, with ne thought for personal advancement, T am convinced That these women cannoi be held down. They will rise as high as men in the banking world"
 Most fthe women employed in ex' ecutive positions in banks. have risen, after long years of experience, from the clerical. rank. Others have been select ed from non-related activities for the advantages their connections might 6. fer &he bank. Miss Boswell came to her present duties from a. busy life in politics and wOman's club work, where, through her interest in industrial prob lems, she became known to labor lead CTS. Another of New Works woman bank officials. woman, with a large circle of wealthy friends, found a place

in the bank of which her husband, in his lifetime, had been vice president. With the present opportunities for aca- demic bank training, through the Amer iean Institute of Banking and various universities, the number of women as- pirants to bank offices is multiplying.
 Women have proved successful in new business departments, ' often bringing in huge accounts. There has also been a special opening for them in women's departments, founded on the principle that women prefer dealing with their own kind. But this phase of the woman bankers activities is destined to pass, Miss Boswell pre- diets, as time goes on and women be- come accustomed to handling their own affairs and to dealing with men.
 Already there are enough women bank executives to have an Organiza- tion of their own, the Association of Bank Women, with about 2OO members scattered throughout the country. Through its bulletin, the association keeps it's members informed on matters of business importance, and through it's conferences it offers clearing house for the problems and the ideas of bank women. g
 Mrs. William Laimbeer, assistant secretary of the United States Mort gage and Trust company, New York, is president The other officers are: vice president, Mrs. Kay Cammaek, assis- ta1lt secretary of the New York Trust company; corresponding secretary, Miss Minna NJ. Bruce, assistant sec retary of the Central Union Trust com pany; recording secretary, Miss Lil- lian Barkus, director of the Home Sery- ice department, Greater New York Say ings Bank, Brooklyn; treasurer, Miss Jean AEnot Reid, manager of the Women's Department, Bankers Trust company, New York. Representing the convention from Birmingham are Mary Andrews Mix, Mrs. Helen Bartz and Mrs. Emma Flack,
 All of which reminds the reader of the young women in banks of Birming- ham-NIiss Mary Chariot Berney, the daughter of the late William Berney, pioneer banker, president of tine Berney National, one of the first banks in Birmiughaln, Misses Ireta and Anye SleC CE0ssin, Miss Mary 70 Don nell and mAny others, So the world still moves and the pregrassS ei the business and professional women along many lines of endeavOr is a most interesting evolution and one which portends greater and greater, things for civilization and in the worlds progress. And we say again hail to the woman who does things and all hail to those of the sex who are faithfully and con scientiously fulfilling their obligations in whatsoever branch they undertake whether it !, is wifehood, motherhood, housekeeper, business or professional if she retains the beautiful qualities of womanliness along with the rest-then the world is the better for her having done her part.
