When Promptness PaYs1

"How docs it pay one to be prompt
in paying her bills?" asked an in
credulous neighbor over our rhetorical
fence. She seemed quite satisfied, too,
that there is no answer to her question.
In some instances there may not be
any money saved in paying promptly,
but in several others there is.
For example, We know Of woman
who pays for her husbands life in
surance. It is her way of saving money.
Instead of making an annual payment
she pays seni-annually. OF course she
is charged proportionately more. and
she actually pays per cent interest
on the unpaid balance.
Now per cent is the rate Of interest
II you or / go out to borrow money,
but few of us can obtain per cent
interest on our small sums at hand.
In other words. any woman who pays
6 per cent when 1t is necessary to do
so Is deliberately throwing away money.
Prompt payments are not always in
sisted upon for charge accounts. though
some stores charge per cent interest
after so days. In some parts Of the

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

country women are allowed per cent
discount II they pay within 10 days
OF being billed.
II debt Is due any one on a cer-'
tain date and one delays or postpones
payment one Is liable for an interest
charge
When one borrows money on a note
or its equivalent, the longer one holds
the note the more interest will be due
on IT.. This applies chiefly to sums
borrowed to meet pressing needs and
loans which one hopes to pay as soon
as 1t may be at all convenient.
In every case where interest Of 8
per cent must be paid IL will be found
that ones principal will eventually
show loss of at least per cent. Il
is assumed that we all know Of invest
ments which yield per cent or even
more. but most OF these require mini
mum investment of about a thousand
dollars. When one only has fey
hundred to invest an interest Yield OF
4 to 5 per cent, is most favorable.

NOCALES GIRL HEADS LIST Of
HONOR ROLL, FLAGSTAFF NORMAL

A Nogales girl-Miss Leila
Colvin-daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. S. Colvin of Noon street
led all students in honor points at
the Northern Arizona Normal
School during the fall quarter
ending in December.
s fore student can be gra-
d,ated from the Teachers College
his CT her aggregate number of
honor points must at least equal
the number of credit hours earn
ed. No honor points are given on
grades less than 49,"
For instance, if a student is
carrying four subjects which is
equal to 16 quarter hours of col
lege work, he must earn 16 honors
or grade points. Using the grad
ing system of the college here,
namely, 81" "2," 49," 4, and 5,
which is failure, honor points are
apportioned as follows: For a
grade of a." 8 honor points are
given, for "2," 2 points are
given and for a 49," / point is
given. Students cannot get their
names on the honor roll with
grades of "a" and incompletes.
The number Of honorpoints earn
ed in each subject is then null
tiplied by the number of quart
er hours. Following this prinsiple
student receiving grades of "1, "
al" "2," and 49," for subjects
calling for four quarter hours each
would receive SO honor points.
the highest number any one in
dividual can receive is 48. To get
your name on the honor roll a
total of 33 point sare required.
Students who fail to fill the re-
u,lirements are either required to
take additional work toward their
decree or not recommended for
