The Faith OF Womo. /.

Scattergood Mel. Harris, the emf
nent Pittsburgh divorce lawyer, was
praising the faith and trust of woman.
"A young woman" he said, said to
me the other day with laugh:
"Isn't it simply Incredible how
careless the post-office people are|
"'Careless?' said l. How so?'
"Why,' she said, take, for example,
the case of Pete Pete was her rich
and prohigate young husband. Here's
Pete, she went on, being kept in that
nasty, dirty city of Altoona, hard ut
work in the rolling mills for the past
month, and every blessed letter 1 get
from him is postmarked Palm Beach, II"

Late Fashion Notes Of
Interest to All Women

The skirt with bodice top has re-
turned to style.
Flesh satin makes up an attractive
pair of the newest evening slippers
to be worn with nude hose.
The Russian tunic effect is becoming
more and more frequent. 1t is seen
not only in chic frocks. with swirl
of fur at the hem. but also in long.
somewhat loose coats, especially for
evening wear.
Included in the list of new laces ~
a lovely one in black and cream. tn,
foundation being cream and the PAT
ern black. Lace overdresses made
this material are worn over, slips o.
peach or corntlOwer satin.
Soulie has created sensational
spring fashion by combination of
straw and fur One hat by this Paris
designer, with crown and brim of
soft light straw and straw bow
standing up behind. has the wide brim
bordered with thick band of black
fox.
The Russian coronet effect, so be-
coming to most women as an orna-
ment for the evening coiffure. is not
now built of jewels. So fond have
women become of satin flowers that
these coronets are made from buds
and blossoms of satin velvet, and
sprinkled with brillants.

French Urged to Wash
Their Hands Oftener

1t appears that we do not wash our
hands enough. In spite of all modern
onveniences-faucets in the kitchen
sink, bathrooms and things like that
we are neglecting ourselves. 1t is real
ly objectionable and we deserve the
Ills caused by our failure to take hygi.
enlc precautions.
What would we say and what mala.
dies would we not suffer If we were
without modern comforts? In the
Middle Ages the ceremony Of washing
the hands at midday in the castles was
always performed with touch Of
solemnity. 1t was announced by the
blowing Of trumpets preceding dinner.
A ever and napkin were presented to
the guests by maidservant.
In those days the fork had not been
Invented and one ate with ones fin-
gers. And even today we do not think
that drumsticks, fried apples. or the
like, taste good unless held in the I'm
gers. The more reason that the fingers
should be clean.
Let US wash our hands. The Koran
says we should wash them five times a
day; and France is the greatest Mo-
hammedan power Let her therefore
obey in this particular the precepts of
the Koran.-Le Petit Parisfen.

Need Water Wagons

Water wagons are real necessity
In Asuncion, capital of Paraguay, e. M.
Newman told members of the National
Geographic society. There is no rum
ming water in any of the houses of
the 4OO-year-old town, he declared, and
peddlers of water do thriving bust
ness from door to door. The Indian
women of Asuncion smoke not ciga-
rettes, but "whackin' big cheroots,"
like their sisters across the world in
Burma.
The lecture covered trip to Iguazu
falls, the South American Niagara, be-
tween Argentina and Brazil, on the
upper Parana river. Pictures showed
the great volume of water that flows
over these cataracts, which are greater
than either Niagara or the Victoria
falls of Africa.-Detroit News.

"Richsst Woman" Lies
in an Unmarked Craue

The boldest and ablest woman fnan-
cier Of her time, Hetty Green, who died
In 1915. still remains unique charac-
ter in the annals Of the New England
village Of Bellows Falls, Vt.
Curiosity led a correspondent to
visit her grave in the churchyard Of
Emmanuel Episcopal church. A sex
toms helper who was working among
the graves was glad to point out the
desired spot, writes the correspondent.
His help was surely needed, for the
richest woman" in the world lies in
an unmarked grave! The lot in which
there had been five interments, bore in
Its center one modest granite stone, on
which were cut only the names Of Ed.
ward II. Green, Hetty's husband, and
his father. Between the graves Of the
two men, buried north and SOUTH" In
accordance with the custom Of the
Quakers, in whose faith Mrs. Green
had been reared lies all that is mortal
of the woman whose grasp during her
lifetime was upon nearly every large
corporation and enterprise of any mag
nitude all over the world.
Here in the summer come visitors by
the scores. Sometimes there is one
from Texas, who claims to be a neigh.

Worlds Carbanzo Center

The state Of Sonora il the worlds
largest producer Of "garbapsos," or
chick-peas. according to P. L. Bells
Handbook of the Mexican West
Coast and Southern California" Just
issued by the Department Of Com
merce. The bulk Of the garbanxos are
exported to Spain or to the West In
dian islands. Garbanzos are grown
something like rice, in fields. with
raised borders, which are flooded with
water, in August and September, when
the rains are heavy, but plowing Is not
done in the water, as with rice; the
plowman waits until the water has
soaked into the ground, then he plows,
and the scotsman plants the garbanzo.
Little irrgalion IS done during the
growir season, the moisture retained
by '''a soil being as rule sufficient to
mature the plant. In May the plants
are pulled up by hand and laid out
on the fields to dry, after which they
are carried to threshing floor, where
the pealike contents of the pods are
knocked out on the ground, and after
ward packed into 220-potnd sacks.

WHAT BANKERS THINK
OF THE LABOR BANKS

With the advent Of the labor bank
three years ago, there was wide
spread speculation as to what labor
turning capitalist would mean.
By bold calculations the most i'm
aginative pictured a coup d'etat in
finance wrought by the mobilization
OF labor's savings and strategic in
vestments in the key industries.
Prophecies OF disaster came from the
quarters of the other extremists.
Taking the middle ground was the
great group of conservative bankers
who saw the bank as a link-rather
than a wedge-between capital and
labor. 1t was their opinion that the
experience gained In the manage
ment of the labor banks would bring
a real understanding of the business
of handling money and investments
and develop a knowledge of the prob.
lens Of capital. By making capital
lists out of the workers, directing the
investment of their funds into safe
securities instead of wildcat stocks
good flowing from the enterprise With
the mystery taken out OF banking,
the bubble Of fabulous earnings
pricked, and the right of an individ-
pal to his accumulated savings firm
ly established, it was patent that the
radicals would be disarmed of their
thunder against the much-assailed
capitalistAc system. On the other
hand, It was conceded that, with the
rise Of labor as factor In finance,
opportunities for the abuse Of the
worker by the bludgeon Of cruel
credit control would be more re-
stricted.
in their appraisal of the movement.
the events OF the past two years have
largely justified the view Of the con-
servatives, although the time Is still
too short to permit mature judg-
ment 1t is quite clear, however, that
labor has not revolutionizsd banking
the control Of credit has not hesn a.
vsrtsA from IT. former chanAsas.--

WALLACE GIVES
PERhTlVE
MARKETING RULES
Secretary Of Agriculture Defines
Ten Principles Essential to
Success for Bank Asso-
citation.

Ten principles requisite for the
success of cooperative marketing
plans have been prepared by Secre.
tary of Agriculture Wallace for the
State Bank Division of the American
Bankers Association, which has Just
published a nationwide compilation
Of views, experiences and discussions
regarding the movement. Mr.. Wal.
hoe's principles are:
l. A cooperative organization must
be controlled by its members, not as
shareholders or investors, but as pro.
ducers employing the facilities of the
organization.
3. A cooperative association is not
operated to make profit on invested
capital above the usual rate of in
tarest, but to profitably market the
products of its members at the lowest
possible cost
8. A cooperative association should
be organized around a single commo-
dity. or a group Of commodities for
which the same marketing ma
chtnery, methods and channels are
employed.
4. The organization should have
sufficient volume of business to en-
able it to operate efficiently and eco
nomically, and should control this
business through definite legal con-
tracts with its members.
s. The organization must perform
da6nite functions. The organization
of cooperative marketing associa-
ton Ii not an end in itself.
6. The members must understand
the purposes of the Organization and
BE- kept fully informed regarding its
activities and problems.
z. A cooperative association should
have expert management. The duties
Il the manager of a cooperative a.
sociation are more difficult than
those Of the manager of q commercial
enterprise OF equal size. The man.
ager must not only conduct the bud
ness Of the organization efhcientiy,
but he must recognize the close, per
sonal interest of every member in
that business, and be able to main
tain harmonious contacts with each
individual.
3. Proper accounting is essential
Accounting is one phase of manage
mont but is SO important In COOP
erative marketing that it is given
special mention. The management
cannot be properly advised regarding
the status of the organization, nor
properly inform the members, with
out accurate records.
>. Sound financial policies are also
Z part Of management, but are of
sufncient importance to be placed
under 4 separate heading. One es-
sential Is that a cooperative associa-
ton should build up adequate re-
serves in order that it may have the
financial strength necessary to
weather periods Of stress.
10. A cooperative organization
should be self-perpetuAting. 1t should
have = definite legal status, and once
1t is organized it should be so con-
Quoted that it would never be neces-
sary to call upon outside agencies to
re-establish the organization or shape
its policies.
