The bitterness in Switzerland
against the Hawley-Smoot tariff,
which in some cases has caused
a boycott-reprisal against Ameri-
can goods, will eventually pass
and Switzerland will realize that
the revised schedules are a bless
ing in disguise, according to Fred
G. Gruen. president Of the Gruen
Watchmakers' Guild, of New York
and Cincinnati, who returned re-
Gently after four months trip
abroad. Gruen said:
''The Swiss are angry with
America because their chief in
dustry Is virtually at n stand
e. still, and even the largest fac
tories are not working more
than so per cent Of the time.
One Of the basic reasons for this
Is that American importers, In
anticipation Of the tariff, forced
production up to the time the
law passed, and, therefore, had
from two to four months sup
piles on hand. Naturally, Or
ders were curtailed pending the
time these stocks are consumed.
1.-THE new tariff will affect
materially the cheaper class Of
watches, such as the one, seven,
and cheap grade Of Is jewel. In
the better grades Of Is and in
the 17.jewel movement and up
ward, the increase in prices will
be slight, II any.

FINANCING | D v
DURING JULY

Corporate financing in July
totaled $3.50, 100000, the lowest
figure recorded so far this year,
according to the Standard Stats
tics Company. The total for the
first seven months of the year.
$5, 345, 800, 900, is nearly 80 per
cent under the financing for the
similar period of 1929.
Analysis Of the detailed figures
reveals that the decrease has all
been in the common and preferred
stock divisions, the bonds show
ing a gain Of So per cent over
1929. Detailed figures for the
first seven months Of the two
years follows:

Gruen explained that many un
scrupulous importers have been
bringing in cheap Swiss watches
marking them UP at high price
and selling them by trading on
the fact that they were imported
from Switzerland and heavily
advertised.
He expressed considerable salts
faction over the recent drive by
the Government to break ur

the higher tariff the temptation

BANKACTIWTIEs
OF WOMEN
SHOWN

Activities Of women in the
financial world is shown by the re-
port Of the national women's COM
mittee of the American institute
Of Banking, published in the cur
rent issue Of the bulletin Of the
institute.
The report is largely based on
information secured during a SUI.
vey by the University Of North
Carolina, under the direction Of
the Institute of Professional Rela-
tions Of the Association of Uni
versity Women, of which Mrs.
ALVIN e. Dodd, Of this city, ID
chairman.
The report says:
During the year now closing
the national wOmen's commit
tee Of the American Institute
of Banking has been untiring
in its efforts for the better
ment Of the institute. Minerva
A. Dean, chairman, states that
each member has exerted the
keenest enthusiasm, wisdom
and initiative to increase mem
bership, to encourage enroll
ment in the standard A. /. b.
courses, to promote interest In
public education, and to or
ganixe local wOmen's commit
tees.
"TO stimulate interest In
such committees, q list Of Sug-
gestiOns was sent to the various
local cIairmen rs well as to
the presidents Of newly organ,
ICED chapters not having wO-
mems committees, and the
satisfactory co operation ex-
ceeded all expectation.
'aThe position Of trust officer
is most unusual for Q woman,
yet there are at least six wO.
men who have won that ap-
pOintment, while 26 women are
serving as assistant trust Off
GERS. Such statistics are very
encouraging and indicate the
steady advance OF women in
the financial world.
Gan analysis develops that in
the Middle West women have
won the fullest official recOg-
milton. Illinois leads the en-
tire country, with more than
33O women bank officers listed
in the Blue Book. Missouri,
Kansas, Indiana, Texas, and
Iowa follow in the order named,
with more than 200; while Call.
fornia, Pennsylvania. and New
York, as well as Arkansas and
Tennessee, show figures In the ;
ninetieH.
This group is composed Of
women from the colleges who,
with their broad social and
club contacts, have proven In
valuable to their organizations
because Of their ability to i'm.
fluence . desirable clientele.
Then there are those women
who advance Nom one position
to another because they have
shown capacity to do their work
well, to achieve education and
progress through the school Of
hard knocks. Finally, there
come the American Institute
Of Banking women, who possess
the qualifications Of those pre-
viOusIy mentioned, plus aHtbi.
tiOn and urge for more kn0wl-
edge, and who spend their spare
time in the pursuit Of study and
self elf.imprOvement.
Bank women today realize
the importance of the splendid
training our institute offers,
and they know that, by avail
ing themselves Of this train.
ing, they will be more able to
meet the keen competition ex-
listing in the present era Of
banking"

The time for doubt and heSita-
ton is before, not after mar.
riage.
One or two important points
are entirely overlooked in your
letter. Do you respect and lock
up to your friend? Is he up
right, faithful and clean
minded? Is the background of
his family and associations suit
able to you? Has he sufficient
income and property to marry
and found a family? Those
questions, only you, and pos
sibly members of your family
who will advise you, can decide.
Your letter speaks of your re-
gard for him, but not of this
equally important question of
practical suitability.
Still, 1 believe the circum-
stances will be found favorable
to your marriage and happi-
ness, especially since your letter
shows you are a sensible girl,
so you would doubtless be
willing to start housekeeping in
a simple way and practice
thrift. And I hardly think you
would care so much for a young
man you did not wholly respect
and admire.
Many girls the world over
are wondering today whether
the time has come to marry the
man who loves them best of all
and whether that man is, in.
deed, The Man. Take your
time about deciding. Study
yourself and him. But do not
wait too long, or assure your
self that if this chance passes
there will be many more. DO
not wait for the 100 per cent
perfect and romantic hero who
exists only between the pages
of story books.
Whatever occupation you may
find, and however successful
you may be at that occupation.
in years to come you will be
less successful than if you were
happily married with a home
and family of your own. So
when a good man VINO respects
your standards and loves you
asks you to be his wife, and
the offer appeals alike to your
affection and common sense,
why not marry him and be
happy?

So many mothers are like
Luther. Every mistake Of their
children is turned into a moral
issue, something Of great mo-

important, something to be

tooth and nail. In short a MIS-
take is made a moral issue,
with the usual attendant re-
siStance of the child and The
usual intense struggle to re-

mothers like the one I have

TREND OF
FASHION
Concerning
PeUter
BY WILMA LAVILLE-


THE presentday vogue for
- pewter is easy to under
stand when you consider its
decorative quality, the soft lus-
ter OF its polished surface that
catches color and light so effec-
lively, and the charm of the
shapes that are now available
in Washington stores.
Pewter falls into two periods
or clasSificationS, modern and
early American. Most of the
modern designs and pieces come
from Denmark, where q few
master craftsmen have created
shapes of rare beauty. Their
designs are often hammered,
usually with q decorative motif,
and perhaps for that reason
they have not been generally
accepted by fashionable Wash
ington as readily as the early
American pieces, which fit bet
ter into the decorative scheme
of most homes in this country.
Quaint designs make for
charm in the pieces copied
from early American master
pieces. They have a crude
beauty. reminiscent Of the cour-
asaous stage the country was
going through at the time Of
their conception. Their simple,
homely lines have achieved q
dignity that was suitable to the
home of that time, and is
equally appropriate now in the
house that 1eproduces that
spirit.
A few of the early Ameri-
can pieces conform to such
regular curves and angles that
they may be transferred to o
modern room and look quite
at home. There is a small
bowl that flares from a low
base with such severity that it
would fit into the newest set
ting. Then there are round
cream and sugar sets that are
symmetrical enough to conform
to furnishings in a contempt
rary feeling.
There is a set Of beautifully
shaped bowl and two candle
sticks with spool stems that will
lend charm to any mantle. AS
pewter reflects the color Of the
room decorations or Of flowers,
this bowl is an excellent re-
ceptacle for flowers.
A utility jug recommends it
self for many uses, or is merely
decorative, with its quaint shape.
Squat sugar and creams have O
tray to match, adding to their
practically as well as to their
beauty. A tall teapot has @
sturdy puritanical air. un-
doubtedly derived from the same
influence as the ladder-back
chair.
Needless to say, pewter makes
an ideal gift to nearly any
home. 1t combines beauty with
usefulness, and is so much q
vogue now that it is practically
sure of a welcome from any
bride or householder.
