BANK CLERKS CAN'T DEPOSIT
IN THEIR OWN INSTITUTIONS
Vfould Do "Bad Practice to Have Boohhccpcr Handle His
Private Account, Officials Say
ROBERT FRANKFIELD
PAUL SULZBACHER
h. V. S.
They left New York Juno 18 on a
wager they could travel frco, by
begging auto rides, to the Pacific
Coast and back by September 1.
They arrived hero jestcrday on tho
return" trip
Do you know bank clerks are not
allowed to deposit money in their own
bnnks?
Thoy nro not, nor Is the prnctico
encouraged nmnng officials, cither.
This peculiar situation wns brought to
light today during an Investigation Into
theTiablts of thrift, or the absence of
It, among bnnk employes.
Hankers pointed out thnt It would
be n bad practice to allow a hank book
keeper, for instance, to open an ac
count with tho Institution where ho
worked. Ho might get his own ac
count to handle, nnd that would neither
be fair to him nor to the bank.
Therefore, unless the clerk himself
chooses to divulge the information, his
employers have no means of checking
un on his habits of thrift. As n matter
of fact, n bank clerk, drilled in con
servatism, would probably deposit his
extra funds-ln an institution other than
his own. anyway, for reasons of pri
vacy. He would not want his fellow
clerks to get .a lino on the amount of
his balance.
Bank clerks, however, with other
salnrlcd employes in the business world,
have about ns much as they can hnndlo
right now, paying coal bills and making
ends meet In tho face of high prices.
Their thrift, soy their superior officers,
is just now being demonstrated by their
nhillty to keep out of debt, which Is,
after all, it is pointed out, tho supreme
test nowadays.
As times nro expected to brighten
soon, bnnk directors nrl ollUlnls ore
Inok'ng ahead, and prniiMiu to take on
additional clerks when the exuetted
business revival arrives. This lias
brought to the front the quettnn as to
tlie tulativc mcriti ot ui"ii or o women
clerks. Among bankers opinion seems
to bo divided upon the subject.
During the war great numbers of
women were employed by the banks to
take tho places of the men. Since tho
armistice many of thee women hnvo
been let go, but large numbers still re
main. When new clerks are hired,
therefore, tho question must be faced
"Shall men or women bo engaged?"
Ono big downtown bank is preparing
to tako on men. It is believed at that
institution thnt men, for the majority
of positions, nrc far better than women.
Blood Volunteers Sought
A man lies In the Mt. Slnal Hospital
hovering between life and death. Doc
tors there think that n blood trans
fusion operation may savo his life. A
call went nut today for volunteers (o
give this blood. Tho list of volunteers
kept nt tho bospitnl is being resoited to,
but the chief resident physician finds
trouble In locating the men because they
hnvo moved without clvlnc their new
nddressei. There will bo n small re-
It wns pointed out by that banker to- niuncrntlon to the man selected.
nay, tno men nrc more punctual in the
morning, they do not crib more time
than Is coming to them at lunch hour,
titer get to work the minute they arrive
nnd waste no time primping nnd talk
ing, nnd lastly, they do not dlssolvo In
tears when taken to task.
For certain positions, however, It Is
agreed women excel. For Instance, they
nro not so quickly upsot by monotony.
Thercforo they make excellent monev
counters. Most men would go mad If
thev hnd to spond day after day doing
nothing but counting money. The
women, however, can do It, and do it
accurately, nnd preserve a good dispo
sition. The. finccrs of women also, ar more
nimblo than those of the men, and for
this reason they can sort checks und
coupons, or count money to better Ad
vantage. As stenographers, in filing rooms, as
telephone girls, and in mimeograph de
partments, It Is admitted the women
will continue to reign supreme.

LET NO CORN
SPOIL AN HOUR
Any Com Can Be Stopped Now, Any
Moment, by a Touch
Science has solved thcorn prob
lem. One can now stop a corn ache
instantly, and shortly remove the
whole corn.
The method is gentle, scientific,
sure. A famous chemist invented it.
A surgical dressing house of world
wide fame produces it.
It is Blue-jay the liquid or the
plaster. A touch applies it. The
pain stops at once. Soon the whole
corn, however ancient, loosens and
comes out.
Unmakes harsh treatments unnec
essary. It makes paring ridiculous.
It makes every corn ache a folly.
Your druggist has Blue-jay. Let
it end your corn tonight.
