WOMEN AS BANKERS
Even before the war began to
take men away, the great banking
institutions of the country had be
gun to realize the peculiar fitness
of women for a business requiring
so much accuracy and fidelity as dc
banks. A recent canvas of the banks
doing the business of New York citj
by a commitee of women indicates
that the opportunity for women wil
be steadily larger.
“In the National City Bank,” says
the report, “325 women are alreadj
employed; in the Guaranty Trus^
company, 200; the Chase Nationa
Bank, 56; Farmers’ Trust company
160; National Park Bank, 75; Equit
able Trust company, 100; Corn Ex
change Bank, 70 in one department
Brown Brothers, 60.
“The percentage of women to mei
employed runs as high as one t<
three or four. In only two of thi
banks visited were the investigator
told that women would not be em
ployed under any circumstances.”

WATER IN RIVER
SHOWS SIGNS OF
COMING BREAKUP
Water I* Riling At Rate of Half
An Inch An Hour In Front
of Nenana.
The Tanana river is rising at the
rate of half an inch an hour, at
which rate, it is estimated by river- j
men, a movement of the ice may
be expected any time after Satur- i
day noon. Jack Bellerby, who has
charge of the unloading of Ameri
can Yukon transportation boats at
Nenana and who is watching the
river closely, says that the ice can
not possibly move until there is an
other foot of water in the river,
and there are those who believe that
more of a rise than that will be
necessary to clear the river in front
of town.
Reports received from Fairbanks
state that the water in *Chena slough
is now rising at the rate of an inch
an hour, and they are looking for
the breakup there as early as to
morrow', although, of course, there
are many in the upper towrn wrho
are confident that there will be no
ice movement for ceveral days.
Many of those whoh ave taken
chances in the Red Cross ice pool,
the lists for which are now being
circulated in Nenana, have picked
Monday as the day on which the ice
will move, the 13th appearing to be
a popular date among the guessers.
The pool will close at midnight to
night, and indications are that a
very substantial sum will be realized
for the yarn fund. Half of the
guess money goes to the winner of
the pool and the balance will be
used by the ladies for the purchase
of yarn.

Ten Red Cross Workers Canvassing
Town For Guesses On Nearby
Breakup.
The ladies of the Red Cross, who
are canvassing the town with ice
pool lists, for the benefit of the
yarn fund, report that much interest
is being taken by the public and
that many half dollars have been
paid into the pool, which is to be
divided equally between the winner
and the Red Cross yarn fund.
Ten of the ladies are circulating
the lists, which are to be closed at
midnight tonight. They are Misses
McRae, Betty Foster, Thora Slip
pern, Queenie Russell, Mesdames
Bowen, Baatz, Schaeffer, Lawrence,
Cooney and Heimburger. Any of
these ladies will be pleased to enter
the guesses of those who desire to
help, the yarn fund .
