WOMAN BANKERS
CALLED CAPABLE
Six Presidents and Other Of

Their Recognition.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 31.-Women
have moved logically into banking
as a profession. as six woman bank
presidents in different parts of the
country today could testify, believes
Miss. Nina Marie Bruere, secretary
of the Association of Bank Women.
"'Thev are there naturally, a result
Of the Increased economic independence
of women and their increased need for
drawing upon the banks" said Miss
Bruere. Although ii has long been a
nopular theory that women are poor
hanlIers-that is, that they are foolish
spenders-yet statistics show that
women in reality are the great econo-
mists of our country.
Cites Other Successes.
Miss Bruere. who is assistant secre-
tary of the Central Union Trust Co.
of New York, turned the pages of
the associations roster and cited
these additional bank positions held
by women:
Three vice presidents, one vice
president and assistant cashier four
women on the boards of directors and
other occupying all the remaining
officers held by men.
"And all this has come in the 10
years since Miss Virginia Furman.
our dean of banking women here,
through economic pressure, entered
the first bank which gave A woman
an executive position. Her success
paved the way for other women"
1t is not unusual today TO find
woman bankers facing women across

nished little reception rooms that
are becoming a part of every great

learn that an enormous number of
families are living on less than 81 900
year. In such families many
women hold the purse strings. and no
one can say that it does not take a
sound economist to do the buying for
a family of from three to five on
such a budget.
But the women who are them

those of men are the ones who need

Behind them are the women who
run homes, the spenders and book

AN ENDORSEMENT

II Is an Endorsement, rather than an indict-
ment of conditions at Bloomington, the home OF the
Indiana University that a grand jury in a serious
probe of the liquor evil" found only one damp spot
and that yet to be proved
The interest in this one indictment would be
forgotten and never called to attention were 1t
remembered the number Of Temptations and the
number Of indictments which could be found in
larger cities which boast of colleges and universities
There have been several hundred arrests for
selling liquor in Indianapolis in the past year and
no one thinks of suggesting that this was done to
protect students Of the very fine college in this
city or the students Of the various departments
of the State university housed here.
The presence in any city which is distinctively
a college town" of one bootlegger causes the un-
thinking to believe that the students are being
debauched and subjected to too many temptations
1t is because Of the fact that such towns are
generally so we'll conducted that what would be
commonplace and accepted in a large city becomes
there a matter of grave import.
The chances are that the presence Of students
in Bloomington does not largely increase its boot
leg traffic. 1t is even more certain that the same
students who might patronize a vender of moon
shine in the college town would be much larger
patrons of the same bootleggers in their own homes
1t is a rather fine Endorsement for conditions
at Indiana University, when only one bootlegger
can be found. The wonder is that the spirit Of
youth and It's revolt against inhibitions and sup
pressions do not make it profitable for scores Of
them.
If the advertisement that comes from stringent
legislation were removed, the bootleggers who sell
the foul smelling and poisonous brands of cheap
alcohol would starve to death for lack of patronage.
