Importance of Women
as Bank Depositors
For more than a century and a halt
the saving? bank lias been conducted
by men and largely for men. Lately
many of the conservative directors of
savings banks in the United States
awoke to the fact that more than half
of the depositors in these Institutions
are women.
Up to that time, only half a decade
ago, little or nothing had been done
to cater to the growing army of wom
en pa irons. Even today only a small
percentage of our savings hank olii
cials know the relative proportions of
their male and female depositors. The
officials of one of the largest savings
banks in this country, having 200.000
depositors, recently learned that 75
per cent of their accounts are handled
by women, either in their own right
or for some other member of the fam
iiy.—Thrift Magazine.

Train-Plane Service.
From Chicago Journal of Commerce.
The American railroads, which
| admittedly were caught short by
the development of the automobile,
f the motor but, and the motor truck,
do not intend to be caught short by
developments in aviation. Just as
during the last three or four years
they have been using trucks and
buses as auxiliaries, so are they now
alert to any possibility of using air
planes as auxiliary instruments, or
of combining trains and planes in
a single service A dispatch from
New Pork indicates that one such
possibility is already being devel
oped.
The plan is said to contemplate
a two-day tram-ard-plane service
between New York and the Pacific
coast, the passenger leaving New
York in the early evening, spend
ing the night on a train, transfer
ring next morning to an airplane,
transferring to a train on a western
railroad in the evening, transfer
ring to a plane on the second morn
ing, and arriving at the Pacific
coast in the early evening. A simi
lar service would apply on journeys
from the Pacific coast to the Atlan
tic seaboard.
Various factors at present operate
against successful operation of
night-time airplane passenger serv
| ice. The providing of comfortable
sleeping accommodations would re
quire so much room as to severely
reduce tht number of passengers,
with a consequent increase in the
fare- Again, many persons who are
willing to fly in the daytime are
averse to night flying. Given the
opportunity to fly in the daytime
and occupy comfortable sleeping
quarters on a train at night, they
will be inclined to accept. The fare,
of course, will be higher than for
train service alone, but passengers
will save almost half the time now
consumed on a railroad journey
between the two coasts.
Several enterprising, well-man
aged, and well-staffed airplane
companies are now engaged in the
business of transporting passengers
on various stages of the transcon
tinental journey. Whether or not
the plan reported in the New York
dispatch is now put into operation,
there seems little reason to doubt
that the large airplane companies
will before long effect a junction of
service with seme of the transcon
tinental railroads, along some such
lines as indicated in the reported
plan.
The Rosenwald Fund.
From Chicago Journal of Commerce
In the letter which he makes
known that the entire $20,000,000 of
the Julius Rosenwald fund will be
spent within the next generation,
Mr. Rosenwald is frank in uttering
strictures upon such endowments as
the Rockefeller foundation, which
conserve their wealth for the future
good of the world, employing only
the income for current purposes.
“I am not in sympathy," says Mr.
Rosenwald in his letter to the
trustees of his fund, "with this
policy of perpetuating endowments,
and believe that more good can be
accomplished by expending funds as
trustees find opportunities for con
structive work than by storing up
large sums of money for long pe
riods of time. By adopting a policy
of using the fund within this gen
eration, we may avoid those ten
dencies toward bureaucracy and a
formal or perfunctory attitudj to
ward the work which almost Inevit
ably develop In organizations
which prolong their existence in
definitely. Coming generations can
be relied upon to provide for their
own needs as they arise."
Perhaps they can. But it is not
certain. It may be that the future
will develop that a perpetual foun- j
dation can perform a unique ser
vice beyond the power of any otli- .
er k.nd of organization. At any I
rate. Mr. Rosenwald by his frank
statement of policy and by his in- j
l in- m il Humanist*.

MISS SMITH—Mr. Jones, there's a Mr. Brown outside to see you.
STIFNEC JONES—Well, let him wait while I dictate these important
letters to our salesmen. Take this (dictating): My dear Thomp
son: We're getting nothing from ycu but alibis, alibis, alibis. Every
day you write nothing but excuses as to the few calls you are able
to make that day. You—
MISS SMITH (interrupting)—Excuse me, Mr. Jones, but that Mr.
Brown is still waiting to see you.
STIFNEC JONES—Well, he’s got nothing else to do but see me, so
let him wait. (Continuing dictation ) One would think that you
spent most of your time inspecting excavations for new buildings
in every town you stop at, or joining the crowds that watch the
hoisting of safes to upper stories, and so on. You say “this man
was busy,” and that you “had to hang around nearly an hour”
before So-and-So would see you, and, that “that man was in a
long conference,” and—
Mi&b bMiiH (interrupting)—tr-r, Mr. Jones, you havent forgotten
that that Mr. Brown Is still waiting outside—
STIFNEC JONES—Let me see, where was I? Oh, yes— Do they
suppose we pay you to do nothing but polish chair seats In outer
offices? Why don't you bust in on those fellows; tell them that
you represent a big house; that your time is as valuable as theirs;
that if their salesmen have to hang around as they make you
hang, then how much business do they expect their men to do
in a day? Crash the outer gate, and—
MISS SMITH (hesitatingly)—I—I—I think that Mr. Brown must
still be outside, expecting that you will see—
STIFNEC JONES—Well, LET HIM WAIT! My important work
comes FIRST! Now, where was I?
MISS SMITH—You were crashing the gate.
STIFTJEC JONES—Oh, yes. Well, crash the gate; tell them your
salary is so-and-so; that every hour you have to waste in hang
ing around, pawing over every copy on their reception-room
table, of Godey's Lady's Book and equally old trade papers, while
they are getting ready to see you, means that the price of our
product will have to be Increased to take care of this excessive
overhead which they are causing us. Now, go to it! Let me get
no more of any such excuses from now on—and I don’t mean
maybe! Yours for getting more co-operation between business
houses, Stifnec Jones.
And write that same letter to the whole darned road bunch; they
all need it. What we've got to have around here is less “reseating
pants’’ items in our expense accounts, and better recognition from
other concerns as to who we are!
ACT n.
STIFNEC JONES—Now, Miss Smith, if that man Brown is still out
there, I presume I’ll have to see him. (Exit Miss Smith.)
MISS SMITH—(Returning) He's gone. Here’s a note he left on the
table.
STIFNEC JONES (opens note and reads)—I’m Brown of the
Brown-Broadhead company, in the market for 30 of your ma
chines—at least I was in the market for the first 10 minutes, but
the partition is thin and your letter sank in.—R. J. Brown.”
struct ions to the Rosenwald fund
trustees has made possible some
kind of future comparison between
the service performed by a tem
porary foundation, paying out both
its principal and its income and
the service performed by a per
petual foundation, distributin'
nothing but income.
Just as there have been other
philanthropies modeled on the
Rockefeller foundation, so there will
be other philanthropies modeled on
the Rosenwald fund. The compara
tive values of the two plans will be
tested The probability is that it
will be found there is a need
for both kinds of endowment.
The Rosenwald fund until recent
ly has devoted Itself entirely to the
providing ot educational facilities
lor negroes. Recently, however, the
vope of the fund has been broad
ened so us to become of a genet .U
philanthropic character.

expecting too much from friend

by drawing the bands too close
