Financial Aid to Women

WHAT happens when the average woman is left
by the death of her husband with the problem of
managing his estatce
Unfortunately too many men, in order to pro- .
tect their wives from the cares and worries of busi
ness, neglect the opportunity of giving them
business training and insight into their affairs,
Their death leaves the widow with new and
strange problems to be solved-the safeguarding
of investments, taxes the investing of life insurance
funds These problems that and trying to
an inexperienced woman are part of the daily
routine of this bank What is more logical than
turning to the Woman's Department of this bank
for help and guidance2 The service here is de-
signed to be helpful and sympathetic Not just
cold exchange of cash and paper, but humanizing
handling of the problems of finance.
Then, too, the Department, with its beautiful
appointments, is place to rest and refresh, and to
meet and confer.
Women are invited to make this Department
their own, and to profit by its willingness and
ability to help them handle their financial as we'll
as their business problems.

One lay with his head pillowed in
his arm. his right hand clutching three

winner because Of straight he was
holding. TIE third man, who had dis

was escaping. Apparently the men
had been unaware of the leaking gas,
SO intent they had been on their game.
Only one of them, Patrick O'Con-
nor. was identified.

GAS INSPECTOR
PROM|SESS.A !
SENSATION
Situation Has Many Angles,
Some Very Acute,
He Says.

Development Of vital interest to
everyone in San Antonio are predicted
by K. D. Parker. chief engineer Of
the Oil and Gas Division of the Texas
Railroad Commission, at the hearing
at Austin Friday.
Mr.. Parker, who was sent to San
Antonio TO investigate the Gas Ridge
situation, before returning TO Aus
tin where he will make his report
TO the commission, said he found
conditions unsatisfactory"
The investigation was brought about
by complaints of the Alamo Gas Com
pany, which claimed that although it
could deliver 100000 cubic feet Of
gas daily, only a very small fraction
of this amount was turned into the
San Antonio mains.
Il will make my report to the com.
mission" he said. land prior TO the
hearing Friday, / believe that I
should not say very much concern
ing the matter. We will be ready,
and L know of no reason why ths
hearing should be postponed and then
the public may know the facts"
The San Antonio gas business has
whole lot of angles to it, he said.
Some of these angles are obtuse-
some of them acute-so acute, in fact,
that they are forcing themselves 10
the front and making the coming hear
ing of enthralling interest to those af-
fected.' He declined to 60 more into
detail. stating that the matter would
be fully aired at the hearing and then
be public property.
